The amount of random "The Root" stories I have clicked on is off the charts.

Just a little too far up with the mouse and here comes a drop down! ANYWAYS… here are some random cheapish cars for sale near me that I slightly irrationally want. The one in South Dakota is a bit of an outlier but I have always wanted a car from that era to cruise in.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Edit: forgot the word cars. Also my links seem to be working about 80% of the time 45% of the time, for me at least.

That drop down menu is just awful

LOL, it all depends on where your Oppo tab is.

I click on lifehacker a lot.

Whenever I accidentally mouse over the Root or Jezebel, my blood begins to boil. I have yet to see an intelligent article come out of those to places. What kind of article theme is the root anyways, seems there all know nds of stuff.

Oh and the 49 mercury would be a sweet project car. Would love to have a restored to stock one.

That Merc speaks to me. I’d keep the flatty and avoid lead sled type styling.

I generally fall to the left of the political spectrum, but rarely can I get behind stuff on The Root.

I think you’re missing the point

Stick to posting interior photos of your clients’ homes, bro.

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

If you can explain the point you claim I’ve missed, I’ll just go ahead and get back into bed.

But, fair warning, there’s really only one way to get out of mine. Small room, it’s smooshed against the wall. I’ll wait, though.

I’m not complaining about The Root as a site just the user experience of Kinja. If it was any other blog/journalistic site above the oppo banner I would be complaining about that

The issue isn’t the content on The Root. The issue is the minor annoyance from accidently clicking on the wrong article

PowderHound > Maxima Speed

I don’t care what site it is. The drop down needs to be gone. My slow computer can’t react fast enough

Given that, in my return to oppo from the hinterlands, I’ve now stumbled over a “harble garble the root is awful/racist/no good cutomer sevis” multiple times a week, I’m feeling less charitable. If that was your point, I’m sorry. But, it also opens the door to pissflinging from people who think every corner of the internet must cater to their preferences and sensibilities and politics.

Fair enough. Kinja has always had features which blow, so that particular complaint is evergreen. But, as I said elsewhere, I took a break from oppo for a while and in my short time back it seems like complaints about the Root are a nightly (ok, every few nightly) feature, and it’s like folks never learn.

I’ll try moving the bed to the other side of the room.

I’m not on regularly enough to notice these things or I just scroll right past them. For some reason I am archaic and tend to click on the head banner to refresh rather than keyboard shortcuts. No ill will towards any of the sites but kinja is me NEMESIS!!

Um wow, got to say, I didn’t realize that was against the rules. I think that’s kinda dumb but whatever.
