There’s a part of me that wants to believe that Trump is basically a double agent meant to be so blatantly corrupt and awful, taking advantage of every system in the US, that it finally wakes the US up and to realize how fucking awful everything actually is, almost like penetration testing.

It’s just out of frame

The best part is how many of them are using the exact same language that they (rightfully) complained about people using to try and sensationalize and fear monger other cases of civilian firearm ownership. "Oh, it was semi-automatic! (like literally every handgun in existence) And had dozens of rounds (like any modern handgun).

Exact same fucking shit as people would use to bitch and sensationalize other incidents, but in this case Alex Pretti wasn’t a fucking mass murderer. They’ll complain about the media calling the gun a mass child murderer uses an “assault weapon”, but the moment someone actually exercises their 2nd Amendment rights properly, suddenly they’re happily repeat the same shit because it benefits them.

Likewise, while I appreciate a lot of people waking up to it, it’s frustrating how many people on “the left” (liberal Dems mostly) who were unbelievably ignorant about firearms and were vehemently opposed to any amount of private firearm ownership, suddenly caring about the 2nd Amendment and parroting off “shall not be infringed”, as I feel like it’s not a principled stance and they’re just saying it because it’s “their side” now. If they’re actually realizing it’s kinda important, good for them, but it’s still frustrating how many people care solely because it’s “their side”

It’s one thing to continuously move dates like that, but the uniqueness of giving a 3 month window and saying it with such confidence is very amusing to me.

“3 months maybe, 6 months definitely” is still one of my favorite quotes from his timeline estimates.

Those crazy margins lasted for like 2 quarters until it was revealed that one of the main ways they managed it was severely under allocating warranty. It was a neat trick, until vehicles actually started to come back with warranty claims and they realized they literally make the least reliable and most expensive to repair cars on the market. IIRC they were allocating like 1/3 of what Toyota does per-vehicle, which is absolutely insane given the kind of vehicles they make. Hence why they became insanely stingy with warranty claims, and you saw tons of in-warranty repairs being allocated to “goodwill” which is a distinctly different pool from warranty allocation.

The entire company is built on fraud and shell-games with SpaceX/Starlink/Boring Co. and Musk has straight up admitted as much. No one gives a shit and a judge literally ruled he’s allowed to do it because line go up.

I can rant for hours about all the insanely sketchy stuff they’ve done solely for a one quarter boost, and plenty of other stuff where their cost-cutting directly resulted in loss of life.

In the US we also have places like Rent-A-Center that can be used for that. They tend to be quite predatory and usually target low income people to rent luxury goods they couldn’t normally afford, but I knew someone who’d rent their largest TV for a week for their Superbowl party, and it was a pretty good use for the service.

I just upgraded to a foldable phone and it’s a game changer to have an 8in screen in your pocket. Reading long form content is so much more enjoyable, and I’d love to have an E-ink reader that folds like my phone does.

Having a theater subscription has definitely made going to movies far more enjoyable tbh and one of the only subscription type services I have anymore. It’s way easier for me to just pick a random afternoon, drag a friend along and take more chances on a movie when, as you said, I’m not “paying” for that ticket.

Pretty much. I had really good horse meat sashimi in Japan and it tasted pretty much identical to elk or deer. It was tasty, but not something I’d feel like going out of my way for.

This is something that hit me like a ton of bricks after living abroad for a bit. It definitely made me think a lot about how much more pleasant things are when people are at least marginally considerate of others, and just how little some people seem to do it in the US.

Zap carry ftw

I’m going to guess that you probably aren’t part of one of the many groups he actively advocated for violence and hatred against.

I don’t celebrate his death, but that a man actively advocating for violence and hate against so many has been silenced.

Unironically, this was exactly how the announcement at my old company went. Literally, someone getting paid millions of dollars a year basically saying “Yeah we made this decision on vibes alone”

I thought that’s what his eyes were, and the lens just reflected the energy back into the “energy dimension”?

Vance doesn’t seem the type to go down on someone.

Part of the issue is that speeds are set nonsensically here and in certain areas they’ll literally be set to randomly drop on a small section of road solely for the purpose of giving out speeding tickets.

And yet Grindr never manages to filter out all the bots with “0NLYFANS” in their bios
