it’s having a nice car that lasts.

See, this is where your stupidity and ignorance shines. Used cars can and do last. It’s not even a gamble if you go to a reputable dealer.

Yeah, he’s an idiot.

Don’t take financial advice from people who buy new cars.

I have purchased multiple new cars over the last 25 years,

You’re an actual dumbass. New cars lose 20% of their value the moment you drive it off the lot.

I don’t care about depreciation or resale values.

Clearly. You’d rather get ripped off by the dealership.

How about you get some life experience and try buying and maintaining a used car? Then you can see for yourself how stupid your assumptions are.

You’re a smart person and can probably manage your money better than most Americans swept up in consumerist hysteria.

The problem is, most people bitching about “not having enough money” will say that the decisions you made are “not good enough” for them. They believe they are entitled to more before others who have less so they can give that excess to the people ripping them off.

And if you say anything about it, you’re the bad guy.

Why do we only blame trump?

There’s bi-partisan support for making sure China can’t sell its EVs in the US, even though they cost $15k and have 300km range.

Meanwhile we have dumbasses buying teslas saying “they didn’t get ripped off.”

Honestly, it’s very possible that someone close to her told her that trump actually sucks.

If someone whose opinion she valued explained why trump was awful, without pivoting to supporting the lesser-evil democrats, she’s compelled to listen to reason to avoid becoming the politician that these people hate.

This might come as a shock to you all, but a lot of conservatives are conservative because they recognize the Party of Clintons does not have their interests at hand. Democrats would have better results in elections if they ran more candidates like Bernie Sanders, but they don’t want to pay more in taxes so we end up with the Clintons and a culture war.

It’s a lot of conservatives.

Sweetie…

There is no genius.

They all bought smartwater.

I genuinely cant imagine ever living in an individualist society ever again. Theyre all so hateful.

I mean, Chinese society hates you for going against the CCP.

Understandable.

I know a few Australians and they are racist and nasty.

I know one who is kind, though.

Just use Matrix…

Why do we keep caring about signal when there’s Matrix?

I’m guessing he’s stupid or greedy.

Throw in an ad and the service pays for itself.

That is, unless he’s renting hardware like a dipshit.

It really doesn’t, and certainly not more than running something on AWS.

In fact, hosting on cloud infrastructure adds another layer of complexity.

I stand by my original assertion.

The cloud was a scam for people with more money than sense.

Most people hosting things on the cloud, like Fediverse services, would be better off selfhosting and buying the hardware themselves.

The system and social contract are on their way out.

Don’t spend the next few decades waiting for the collapse. Enjoy your life now and recognize that things will not be getting better.

We have our rulers and their useful idiots to blame. Maybe the next nation can learn from our mistakes and stop worshiping those who have wealth.

Yes. We have to acknowledge democrats keep running “fall in line” candidates and there’s a significant amount of people in the US that refuse to play that game.

Bernie would have won.

Why exactly does he need a coup?

The government already does whatever he wants with no pushback.

Yeah, but probably not for the reasons this article pointed out.

I drive a Tesla.

You got scammed, buddy. Great job.
