As if he cares about his family. I mean, he does in passing, but you know he’d give them up in a heartbeat if it held any advantage whatsoever to him personally. Well, except for the one he wanted to fuck, but she’s too old now. So even her.
We seriously need a plugin that replaces all words spoken by Trump’s mouthpieces to be replaced with static and line noise. I’m tired of reading the lies. It’d be one thing if they were interesting, but they’re so lame.
That’s always just one of the worst feelings in the world. This thing is supposed to work and be easy and… nope. Not there. It’s gone. Now you have work to do. heh
Do you realize how difficult it was to upvote that comment? I viscerally hate that. lol. But the sarcasm is perfect here, of course. But I still hate you <3

As someone who grew up as a fundamentalist Southern Baptist… it’s fundamental/evangelical Christianity that’s so bad.
My dad was a preacher’s kid, son of a Methodist minister. He’s still somewhat conservative in some ways, but he’s fine with LGBTQ+, and his philosophy is basically that while he believes in God, he can’t make that choice for anyone else, so he doesn’t really worry about it for anyone else, i.e. doesn’t evangelize, etc.
If all Christians were like my dad, I’d probably be okay still being a Christian instead of the atheist I am.
Good on you for your journey, and I hope you continue to find peace <3

Huh. Thank you for text.npr.org. That’s nice!
Well, that’s not how it would happen and you know it.
Car threads degrade to fucking stupid quickly.
Funny, I was looking at your comments and thinking precisely that.
When you take into account that the original assertion was tht eighty billion was given to the auto manufacturers, I don’t think my comment deserves the reaction it got, not a reply like yours.
Would you rather they ended up with zero dollars?
I mean, that’s still pretty darn impressive.
For better or worse, it’s one of those sticking points keeping many away from electric. I was like that several years ago, but I’ve noticed my driving patterns since then. I can’t do electric because I can’t afford a new car and even worse I’m an apartment dweller, so there’s no infrastructure. But if I could, I absolutely would get a vehicle. Long as it had a couple hundred miles of range, that’s all I need (we have a second car anyway, so if we needed longer trips, we’re covered). And less battery means moving less mass means even cheaper to run.
But my dad went looking a few years ago and ended up with a gas car again - because they do take trips and drive sometimes, and so the idea of having to recharge, even on infrequent trips, was a sticking point. But with 500 miles of range, it’s getting to the point where that’s getting close to a day’s comfortable driving for a lot of people, and if you can charge overnight, then it becomes enough for trips and it helps eliminate the range anxiety.
I think once people start transitioning over to electric, their second vehicle might have less range…
No one should be driving that far at once,
What a ridiculous blanket statement.
Nobody should make such silly blanket statements. :P
Well, it was $79.7B to be exact. And what the US government did with that was not cut checks, but rather, purchased stock in the companies.
When it sold the stock it bought from manufacturers, it sold for around $70B. When they sold the approximately $2.4B invested into Ally (an auto financing firm), it sold for $17.2B.
So the money spent in 2008 actually made a profit. It was not distributed to the manufacturers or finance companies at all. Just used to shore up their value to prevent them from going out of business – and more importantly, probably, make sure investors didn’t lose money, or at least not too much.
Ideally, although the US is trying our best for monopolies…
Y’know, if that’s true… I can’t afford a new computer. I just got one last year after almost a decade of using my last box. I was lucky that this one runs 11 - I’m not anti-Microsoft - I like Linux and Windows… but I’ve been perfectly happy with 11 (maybe just lucky, but none of the problems I’ve heard others having).
But yeah, if this box won’t run 12, I will be staying on 11 until I can’t, and then that’ll push me to Linux. I could switch now, jsut about, but a few little things that run better with Windows for me. But I could survive under Linux if I needed to.
Basically, I’ve never been a big Microsoft apologist, but man… that would kill it for me.
Not that they care. They care about corporate uses, not home users. Which is why you can find any number of ways to get your Windows for free these days. They gave up on the consumer market.
This is what I came to the comments to gripe about this whole thing. Yes, they can play some games and probably will, but consider: People will be watching. They do this and you bet people will track this crap and post about it. The blowback will be huge.
If they’re stupid enough to try this, it will not last. lol. You can raise prices over the long term, but fuck around with short term prices people can see changing for no good reason? Yeah…
And on the “personal pricing” - that’s written by someone that doesn’t understand how barcodes work.
But I’m sure they will try to play some games with it.
Gets me every damn time
I’m not. But I do think he doesn’t care and would only try to use it to his advantage, yes. So not much actual disagrement with you.
