Good. With Israel’s aggression, Iran deserves a nuclear deterrent. Thank you Trump!

I also have the TimeStack and it’s great. However, my one complaint is that there’s no external power switch, and therefore, seems to use up batteries quicker than it should.

Sure, but in 2023, someone could already be selling a 2022 as used. That $29k number is going to be skewed by those who sell younger cars. You can still find used cars much cheaper than this.

For that $554 payment, you would need $6648 in additional yearly maintenance costs on an older vehicle to compare. That’s like a new engine or transmission, every year!

Anecdotally, I drive a 32-year-old car that I purchased, coincidentally, for $3200 around 7 years ago. I haven’t spent even close to $6648 in maintenance that entire time (probably not even another $3200).

With the $554 average new car payment in the original post, you can afford that $10k new-to-you used car outright in cash every 18 months.

Sure, if hubcaps were something to get enraged about. I don’t think that’s remotely comparable, but you do you.

Por que no los dos? I’m free to be disgusted with funeral costs and you’re free to make your point.

It shouldn’t cost $60,000 to bury anyone.

To listen to…

I must say I don’t like the idea of a social-credit-score bot.

Regarding your implementation, I saw the summary of your own comments elsewhere in this post and I noticed all the annotations were on upvoted/blue segments. Other summaries you posted focused more on negative/red segments. Would it be possible to enforce a minimum of 1 or 2 from both categories?

Also, would you be kind enough to read my tea leaves? Am I an acceptable citizen of the Lemmy community?

I always prefer to sit unless I’m in a huge hurry. It’s called a restroom for a reason. I’m going to take a break, browse Lemmy or something, and otherwise “rest”. I’ll return to work when I’m ready.

What really pisses me off is when I hear someone enter another stall to take a standing piss. They rarely put the seat up and always get pee all over everything. If you’re going to stand, use a urinal. There’s nothing more pathetic than being afraid to whip your dick out beside your fellow man, and instead, choose to piss on the place where others want to take a sit.

I guess it’s more brothel than bar, but it’s a place you can get a beer and a blow job. I’m not aware of any in my home country either. However, as they say: “when in Rome” (or in this case, Bangkok)…

Since I received more than I bargained for, I won’t be going back to that establishment and I’m tempted to leave a bad review on Google.

It’s bold of you to assume everyone who would vote 3rd party would otherwise “vote blue no matter who”. Also, not everyone lives in a swing state.

In this case, it was a cheap blowjob bar in a shady red light district. I felt that something was wrong before I even made it back to my hotel.

Chlamydia!

The bot.

Cause fuck em. Thats why.

Hey, I primarily consume and very randomly interact!

Eh, that would at least make for a nice buying opportunity. Germany hastily sold all their holdings earlier this year and it was enthusiastically gobbled up by the newly SEC-approved Bitcoin ETFs.

Sorry, I’m a bit confused by the “fundraising” terminology. Is this in regards to investments in the cryptocurrency industry, such as exchanges and other corporations, or individual purchases of the raw assets?

Looking at market cap, Bitcoin peaked earlier this year at $1.43 trillion and is currently at $1.23 trillion. That’s only a 14% drop. If you look at the global cryptocurrency market cap, it peaked in 2021 at $3.07 trillion and is currently at $2.26 trillion. That’s a 26% drop. I understand that you don’t think crypto is dead, but there’s a lot of delusion in this thread. Surely, if cryptocurrencies are dead, Disney (down 53% from peak) and Intel (down 67% from peak) are on life support.

I agree with everything you’re saying except crypto is not down by more than half since it’s peak.
