They can part them out and make back a few bucks--batteries, motors, stainless steel, maybe the wheels--nothing like the ~$100K they’re in debt for, though. Maybe if they strip the body off, some of them can build something useful on the chassis? Or, are they complete garbage?

EDIT: Ope, nope, they aren’t built like that at all. I suppose most cars aren’t anymore, everything is “unibody”:

Fuck off, Schumer. You fucking DINOsaur.

True of literally everything in life. It’s just our turn to hold matter in this form and experience consciousness. Our planet is a virtually closed system wherein everything is recycled.

(Yes, I know we get water from comets, and perhaps even biological material from asteroids, etc., but in the relatively short term, all of that has been incorporated and we’re living in a virtually closed system.)

Until we’re consistently electing a super majority of DSA candidates, we’re too far right.

The so-called “blue wave” was little more than a lapping at the shore. It’s been branded as such by the right to make us think we won something, so we’ll relax. Hell, it was one election, it’s not even a trend yet.

We need to fight the perception that Rs support lower taxes and business development for jobs. That’s bullshit, but so many “moderate” Rs hang their hats on that. What the greedy fucks want is lower taxes, and they try to sell it with the promise of jobs. So, our neighbors, who look no farther than their paycheck stub and see the taxes push, scream, and cry to persuade people around them to vote for Rs.

That has never worked out in the long run, as we’re witnessing now. It’s very clear they don’t give a fuck about us as workers or people. They care only about themselves and their profits. They’re clamoring to replace us with machines and computers, and wetting themselves over the false promise of owning AI machines, rather than employing difficult to manage people.

Older user here: My iPhone 12 mini is plenty big enough for me. I was happy with the iPhone 4, really.

I can do this with all of my fingers, except my thumbs. I think most people can, but most people never have, so it freaks people out a bit.

Sorry, you just need to see it:

I did a ten month stint in a call center to make ends meet once. I had to quickly and unexpectedly learn this. And, occasionally put up with the, I’m guessing, old vets who insisted on rattling it as fast as possible when reading off serial numbers, etc. And, WOULD NOT slow down to accommodate me at all. So, I’d just ask them to repeat it sometimes four or five times, until I got it.

Okay.

As with all claims of this sort, I’ll wait to see it.

Preachin’ to the choir over here.

I avoid it all as much as I can.

As some who has barely ever drank, never smoked anything and never used any other recreational drug, I find I know a lot about drug use, simply through osmosis (roommates, GFs, co-workers), reading, movies, etc. Or, at least more than I would expect.

Add a zero to the upvote number, that makes it correspond to what you’re used to on Reddit as far as vote count goes. So, ATM, you’re at 1620 updoots, in equivalent popularity. This helps when you first start, but you’ll get used to it pretty quickly.

We all know it’s a much better system. Reagan killed our attempt at switching. No one has tried since.

Personally, I use metric for 3D printing, and I use imperial for wood working. Until standardized material sizes change, it doesn’t make sense to use metric for wood working. That change needs to come from the top, from government regulation.

The closet is where Narnia is.

They might as well spend their time doing this, they won’t pass any bills.

We can now hold the line, and he won’t get two, new, young SCOTUS Justices. That’s not nothing, but don’t expect Universal Healthcare or an end to the executive orders.

In two years we should oust the “centrist” Dems, even the ones we like, and replace them with the “radical left” DSA candidates. I’ll vote to replace Melanie Stansbury if a viable DSA candidate rises to challenge her. Fear of “splitting the vote” be damned.

No deviled eggs for you!

The fuck?

The SS isn’t going to stop you from killing yourself, that never works. Also, please KYS.

Dem Pols: “Nah, We already have a system that works, we just need to make it work in our favor.”

None of them care about “equitable representation” for us, they care about winning, and retaining power.

“Alcohol. The cause of, and solution to all of life’s problems.” ~Homer, the philosopher.

If you’re not good in relationships, it’s best to figure that out, and accept it sooner rather than later. Also, blaming the end of a relationship entirely on the other person, and going on blissfully unaware of your own issues is a good way to repeat your failures. It takes two to tango, take responsibility for your half of the relationship and your mistakes. Decide whether you want to change those things about yourself, if that’s even possible, and be aware of what you do in relationships when picking your next potential mate.

We’re in a stalemate for two years. That’s the best we could hope for, and that’s what we got. Billionaires are safe and always will be, Dems like money and power too, and power corrupts no matter which color banner they stand under for elections.

One way to mitigate corruption and cronyism is term limits for Congress.
