I would love to buy a kei car but the USA won’t import them. I want a Nissan Sakura - an EV that costs $15,000 new. Nope. The USA has all these rules in place to prevent competition. They say it’s about fuel efficiency or safety, but many foreign cars are more fuel efficient than USA cars, and this is an EV - so it’s vastly more fuel efficient! As for safety, we allow motorcycles, golf carts, and farm tractors on our roads but not kei cars?

It’s not about fuel efficiency or safety. It’s about protectionism. USA auto manufacturers have rigged our market to ensure we have to pay $30,000 or more to buy a new car. They don’t want $10,000 kei cars being sold here because they know they can’t compete.

More like the Pentagon wants to shoot Americans, and Trump is their “yes man”

You won’t convince me Trump is actually in charge. Not unless DOGE investigates the Pentagon, and the reason Musk cut ties is so that he wouldn’t be assassinated for that investigation.

The Pentagon has failed every annual audit since they started auditing it 7 years ago.

The day before 9/11, Donald Rumsfeld gave a speech about how the Pentagon lost over 2 trillion dollars that it couldn’t account for. 9/11 was the distraction the Pentagon needed to prevent an audit, and they got 20 years if increased military spending thanks to the “war on terror”

The Pentagon will kill anyone who tries to hold it accountable. They will steal any amount of money, including trillions and trillions of dollars. They answer to no one.

Right there. That’s the real enemy to our Republic.

I had a blue diamond frying pan that claimed to be non-stick and much tougher than teflon. It claimed to have a “ceramic” coating, but I looked into it and it was just some kind of resin. Stuff stuck to it and it chipped and peeled just like teflon. It might have been a little tougher, but you sure as hell couldn’t use stainless steel utensils on it like it claimed on the packaging.

The only cookware I’ll use from now on is stainless steel or triply. Easy to clean, can use any utensils on it, and it’s non-stick enough if you grease it. Plus you can cook at any temperature! Which is the whole point of a frying pan!

How did teflon frying pans even come into existence in the first place? Frying is done at high temperature, and teflon peels at high temperature! It defeats the entire purpose! Every teflon pan I’ve ever used has peeled and left awful cancer-causing debris in my food. Every other person I’ve ever seen using a teflon pan has had the same problem. It’s like big cancer has a monopoly on teflon pans and has brainwashed the public into wanting to buy the damn things.

“Because it’s a soul-crushing, dead-end minimum wage job” Then why are you applying now? “Because I’ve always dreamed of working at Chipotle. I love this franchise, the food, the people, and want nothing more than to work for you”

You have to keep them off balance!

IDK connecting a electronic masturbation device to a chatbot so it can robotically tell you how its raping you and you deserve it because you’re a worthless human is kinda hot.

The only way it happened is if people who need a liver but not because of alcohol-related damage are pushed to the top of the list. The alcoholics would basically be last in line. Some might say that’s discriminatory, but it’s perfectly normal to triage patients and provide care to the ones with more immediate needs, or the ones most likely to survive. Doctors have to make judgement calls.

I am doomed. DOOOMED!!!

I uploaded a new pic without the IP.

My boomer parents think less of Trump after this spat. They agree the 3.8 trillion spending bill is ridiculous, and they also think DOGE was doing good by cleaning out fraud and corruption. We all think that there’s something ill about Trump’s second term. Like he realizes he can’t have a third term, so he doesn’t need to act conservative anymore.

Nope. my browser can use a VPN, but it’s off unless I turn it on.

I devour the entire pizza and still feel hungry later

They must be planning a false flag and this is the patsy that will take the blame for dropping the ball.

I think Elon did good work at DOGE and given his correct response to the egregious 3.8 trillion dollar budge bill, I think Elon would actually do a better job as president than Trump.

I know I’ll be downvoted to hell, but I have to say it. Elon is the better administrator between the two of them.

I spent like $2000 playing Star Trek Online. Lockbox keys, lifetime sub, all sorts of ships, items, and boosts. They introduced Mark XIV equipment with a gambling-based crafting system. You could spend dilithium (which you could buy with $) to have a chance to upgrade your equipment.

The straw that broke me? Their shitty customer service. I wanted to gear up an alt and give them the Jem’Hadar battleship with the Jem’hadar attack ship so they could launch the attack ships from it as fighters, which you could do if you had both. Problem was some ships were account bound, and some ships were character bound, and I lost track of which was which. I ended up claiming the box for one of them on the wrong character. Easy fix, right? Well not every MMO is run to the same standard as Blizzard. Craptic absolutely refused to help me. So I cut ties.

It was after that, when I experienceced withdrawal, that I read about gambler’s fallacy and sunken cost fallacy and I really analyzed why it hurt so much to leave behind my addiction. I never went back, because I know that whole game is run like a casino. They do everything they can to hook you in.

Oh come on. This is every experience with linux.

It’s actually gone very well. Lots of preorders. I saw videos of people lining up outside gamestop locations this morning.

It’s almost guaranteed to be in the top 10 of best selling consoles.

I don’t think Millennials will ever reach the same level of financial security that boomers had. It feels like I’m always treading water, only barely able to get by. I never have money to go on vacation, eat out, or buy a car. Everything is so expensive that I’m lucky if I don’t go deeper into debt by the end of the month.

EAT THE RICH

I just don’t see a place for it in the market. Steam is the big daddy DRM store. GOG is the old school DRM-free store. Itch is the small time indie dev store. Epic will never be a general storefront like one of the above. The only reason to use Epic is to play one of their exclusive games, and in that case they’re no different from any company that refuses to multiplat their games. Blizzard selling their games on the Blizzard store or Nintendo selling their games on the Nintendo store. It just comes down to wanting a larger cut of the sales, instead of paying someone else to use their storefront.
