  • From the article:

    Several were rejected for conveying “a message associated to the characteristics of any person or group of people.”

    Examples of these include:

    AXE/ELON
    BISXUAL/
    TRMP/BAD
    LIBS/YUK
    SOCALHO/
    TESLUUT/
    

    (Note: A / represents a half space, according to the DMV.)

    Some were rejected for conveying that the vehicle belongs to law enforcement, the DMV said. Examples include:

    LAPD*K9/
    /CA/ICE/
    *CSI*CA/
    BB*SWAT/
    ARTCL86/
    911NRSK/
    /*LADP*/
    

    (Note: An * represents a full space, according to the DMV.)

    The four iterations of “hawk tuah” — and several other custom plates — were rejected for conveying a “sexual or scatological meaning.”

    Examples include:

    HAWK2UH/
    HOCTUAH/
    HAWK2UH/
    HAWKTAA/
    

    Many were rejected for being too similar to an existing license plate. Examples include:

    QUE33NB/
    ST4RBO7/
    WRM/HOL3
    XL3GACY/
    XPR1NCE/
    XSM1LEY/
    XW1TCHX/
    Y11KES$/
    Y3S*CHF/
    Y3S/PAPI
    YA/MON3Y
    











  • He clearly lives in a completely different reality to me and millions of other people.

    There was a clip from the other day where a reporter asked him about a person they had interviewed who stated that grocery prices have gone way up.

    His response? “She’s wrong!”

    Putting aside the fact that he was clearly and profoundly incorrect, the unbridled dismissiveness of his response is crazy.

    So the woman who was at the grocery store buying groceries just like she is every week, and noticing prices going up again (not to mention shrinkification), is wrong. And you, Donald, who has no fucking clue how much any groceries are, are right?

    Give me a break!








  • Pretty well, all things considered. I played off and on for about 15 years (more on than off). Got into an awesome family-friendly guild and made some very good friends. I still regularly chat with and occasionally play other games with some of them.

    I became the leader of that guild eventually, but by then it was well into a slow death spiral. It was sad to see everything slowly fall apart and there being nothing anyone could do to resurrect it. That was kind of a painful life lesson.

    But I also have some very fond memories playing with both my wife and my son, and with those friends.

    Maybe I was to much of a ‘filthy casual’ to get drawn too deeply into it (I only casually raided sporadically). But even still, it did hook me in for a while. And even now it’s left an itch I can’t scratch. I miss the Wrath era and how vibrant and dynamic and crazy the ‘world’ could be.

    Overall I feel like it was worth the time and money. But I know that’s not the case for many others.

    My son still plays it sometimes and is trying to get me to come back for the new xpac. But I have zero enthusiasm for it. The last several months I was playing I would log in out of obligation and then almost immediately log off again because nothing sounded fun to do. I didn’t (and still don’t) like what they’ve done with both retail and classic. I guess I’ve moved on in life.
