Spot the Pokemon Go user.

Didn't know you lived in that county (since you want to make an obvious insult). It's not always about you... My aunt, uncle and 2 cousins live in Coronado. So you're telling your cousins about those job openings at the fair? I guess they are posters here as well, hence you mentioning this here? Just curious. I used to work right up the road from Biltmore, at MoMoney Pawn at 12th and Indian School. Jess will work at it again. Daniel, doubt it, as hes 14yrs old and still in 4H ( probably participate in that aspect though ) And no neither my cousins post here. Not sure why that matters either. Interesting.

The Biltmore neighborhood in central Phoenix, named for the Biltmore resort here. (in reference to the previous post which mentioned Coronado, another Phoenix neighborhood, and a previous post mentioning Maricopa County). Totally random: just saw a guy running on the sidewalk carrying what appeared to be a metal trash can lid or a shield high over his head. Right next to a fire station. And the temp reading was 116. Only in Phoenix.

A month into monsoon season and hardly a monsoon to be found. In it's place is an electric bill with an attitude.

FCA, namely Fiat itself, needs to go bye bye. This is like the sad joke that never ends.

Alf is dead. Didn't know you lived in that county.

Says the poster of the other not so random post? Good grief man. Suck it up and grow a sack (as you told me the other day). Now that above was not random at all. Carry on random land. How was mine not random? Jesus, man. It came to my head, I typed it, and I posted it. If you feel like it was about you..sorry.. maybe don't be so self centered. You need to get out and get a job to entertain yourself a little more. Yet you think mine was any less random? Do you see the problem with your "logic". Seriously GTFO with that crap. BTW, I have the day off from MY JOB. Maybe you should follow your own advice and stop being so self centered yourself. My post was not about any one person here. It was about a group of folks. It's not always about you. Seriously, like you told me, grow a sack.

Disagreement is core to human communication. Would be boring with a bunch of agreeable yes men. NO doubt. However, the level at which one carries themselves is the key here.

How come some folks can't just suck it up and not "force" themselves to reply to posts they disagree with and then get butthurt by a response that does not support their argument?

These will be the same fools they have to rescue off of Camelback mountain and wonder why it happened. And I'm done so unless you want to prove me liar, just carry on with your thread and enjoy the fad.

Those three groups of people I mentioned are from three different states.Who cares what happens in a month? 75% of gym members only last a month too. But if somebody told you they got a gym membership that's a good thing even though they're spending a lot more money and they too will have their craze ended in a month. This Pokemon craze has reached a broad spectrum of people and most of these people are people that are super lazy to begin with being they're addicted to a phone game. These are the people that need this walking around the most. You do realize that you're proving my point right? Most is those same users will go right back to their couches in a week after the novelty of hunting for virtual crap wears off. Point being that a smartphone game will not keep people active long term and it should not take a game like that to get them off of there asses in the first place.And again, most of the folks I have seen doing this were doing the same damn thing a month ago, only they had their faces buried in Facebook or Twitter while they were not paying attention to the world around them. Proving your point? So you do critisize people for getting gym memberships when they first tell you about it because you assume they will just give up in a month or two? I agree that I don't think it will be long term but with the current craze you know some other company is working on something similarly "active" because it's such a hit. It most certainly SHOULDN'T take a phone game to get people active but sadly too many people are just that lazy these days. There are deinitely more overweight people than in shape people out there. See from the people I've talked to: My mom(yeah..seems odd but it's spread a large age range of people) had gone on more walks in thepast two weeks looking for Pokemon. I've gotten Snaps from my friend and his girlfriend who literally got his gf's lazy, chubby, younger brothers to go on a hike for this game. My sister(who's already very active - She's run 3 Marathons) has even gone out of her way riding her bike waaaaay more than she used to and she's already active but this makes her even more so. While I agree that a game SHOULDN'T be what makes people start moving around but if it does, that's great! I haven't even started playing it and I don't want to as I'm more afraid it'll be consuming time that I should be studying or weightlifting instead of walking at a leisure pace. But it's great that people are moving around and I've seen stupid 1 minute little "articles" on the news about people meeting and actually talking at the "gyms" and other major locations. Your bringing up gym memberships and comparing to this game shows you have actually missed my point 100%. As I said, everything you just said about "lazy folks' backs up what I have said here, on top of the fact that this game is merely a continuation of the phone zombie culture that needs a reality check, sans the phone. Good grief, I have never seen so many folks get so damn sensitive over a legitimate criticism, and whether you agree with it or not, it is legitimate. Have fun with your fads folks (and no I am not talking about anyone here unless the shoe fits of course. Just speaking in general terms). We will see you back on your couches taking your daily narcissistic selfies and blaming everyone else for your problems in no time.

I'm not going to say anything else about this because clearly some people get a little sensitive about this and it just makes more sense to let it play out like we know it will. In a month, it's on to the next craze (if that long). In the meantime, don't wait for the next fad to get up and go outside and actually enjoy the world. Do it today.

They absolutely were not going outside before. I've had family members, friends, relatives that have gone waaaaay out of heir way to walk or bike a heck of a lot for this game. Like the concept of "Pokemon" or not, it's gotten people to move a lot more in the past month than anything else.Then maybe it's different in your area but I'm not blind and I see these phone zombies out and about everyday. What happens when the fad burns out in a month (it's already happening according to posters on those gaming sites)?Those three groups of people I mentioned are from three different states.

Unfortunately obliviousness is the norm for some, and this perfectly illustrates my point about being face deep in your damn phone. If I were to post a picture of two separate people walking down the street with their noses in their phone, would you be able to tell the difference between the one playing Pokemon or the one tweeting their latest self absorbed post?

The fact that someone needs a 'game' to make this happen? You mean like baseball? Or football? Or Soccer? Or basketball? Like those games? What makes those superior to a Pokemon game? You're joking right? Let me put it this way, using CPs example. My wife and I went out for a nice walk last night, the same type of exercise that one would get when you play that game. After we were done with our nice walk, we banged. All of that happened without a phone much less a game. As for your sports comparison, it's not even close. I am talking about actual interaction without the gadgets. What exactly is so hard to understand about that simple concept? If a game is your only reason for venturing out into the world with other people, then that is a problem from where I sit. Look, i get what you're saying, and I'm drunk, so here comes me getting all deep and $h!..... I am someone who can easily find the splendor and wonder in life and appreciate it, without having to partake in some construct of society. I enjoy just being outide and taking my surroundings in. Some people aren't blessed with such a virtue, so if a game makes then get out and do, and be happy, I'm not going to piss on them for it. I get what you're saying and I'm not trying to piss on anyone's good time. However, all this hype should come with a certain perspective about fads and this over reliance of gadgets to make us happy. Going outside and enjoying it should not require a smartphone game to make it happen, nevermind all the other pitfalls of not paying attention to your surroundings while searching for imaginary dragons.

FTFY.Also, your post was written like every other person aged over 45; written as if the entire world and everyone's existence revolves around why-oh-ew. Good day. First junior, I'm 43. Second, I love seeing foolish posts like yours, like somehow you forget that you too will be my age (if you're lucky). I tell you what. Make a print out of your posts and put them away for safe keeping. Then, when you reach my age, I want you to pull those copies out and read them to yourself. Then and only then will you see how absolutely foolish you are sounding right now. Oh and those are some big words, calling me out because you think I'm being self centered when you proved yourself to be that way in spades. Seriously. You will someday understand the phrase "time makes fools of us all" when you get another decade or two under your belt.

My voicing my opinion should have zero bearing on how you live but you seem real quick to place the blame there. I would love to know how we are to blame for millenials acting like yourself, like the world owes you a damn thing. Btw, you should follow your own advice and mind your own damn business since you want to bring ageism into this. Sorry I don't get sucked into the lastest craze or fad that you will soon forget about in six months. I get out regularly, socialize, exercise, and all the other things that doesn't require me to be slave to a damn gadget. I have them, use them, and then go live my life but if you're going to sit here and criticize me and anyone else that doesn't buy into this fad, then (like I said) follow your own advice and mind your own damn business.

All of which could been done long before the game ever existed. Sorry, maybe it's a generational thing (I'm 43) but I will simply not be convinced of the "pros" of this game when the "pros" could have been applied without the game, i.e. actually going out with these people and interacting the old fashioned way, sans the damn phone.

Per the article in question (in regards to the XT5). What About the 2017 Cadillac XT5? "The all-new Cadillac XT5 that will soon replace the SRX was invited, RSVP’d yes, backed out at the last minute, and then showed up a week after the comparison test. How would it have fared?" http://www.motortrend.com/cars/mercedes-benz/glc-class/2016/2016-lexus-rx-mercedes-benz-glc-lincoln-mkx-comparison/ The thing is Suave is that this rarely happens with GM yet it seems to happen a lot with Ford. That was the point of the MT blast write up of the Focus. Also, Nissan and Toyota had no problems sending out their outdated compacts and I do think the Focus would have been leaps and bounds above those two at least. It was weak sauce on the part of Ford though and the blast by MT was justifiably warranted.

Jesus tap dancing christ ccap. You are way overthinking and overstating this. Again, it was an observation as it related to what was being discussed and was mentioned purely as an afterthought anyway. If someone wants to down vote, so be it but telling me to "grow a sack" is pure bull$h! and an F on your part and does not mean it has any effect on me other than how I just mentioned it. Good grief.
