YUP!

My wife plays as a male and I play as a female. When we were playing wow, random male characters would drop me 100gold at a time. This is when we were very early into wow and we just started getting silvers.

I have an 2021 Toyota and replaced the display with a Android head unit. Then added Bluetooth + USB buttons on my dash.

Some features don’t work anymore like, but I can live with that.

Have you tried Roborock? It’s an amazing vacuum and connects very well inside Home Assistant.

What made things even harder was that the plastic wheel well used steel wood screws, which is exposed to salt. So the screws were completely rusted out. I ended up having to breaking the screws and zip tying the plastic wheel wells in place.

Never ever again.

I fucking hated that car.

My wife’s first car was a Dodge Stratus. It was the worse. It had a battery leech and I couldn’t find what was leeching power. She was stuck on the side of the road and I bought a battery to try and save her and didn’t realize I was also needed to remove the front passenger tire.

So much truth here. I remember fighting with my friends and eventually being better friends later.

Actually, come to think of it, making friends was actually pretty hard back then too.

I can’t say since I’m an older millennial. Back in the day it was tough to find mates. So when personalities clashed, we try out best to reconciled or try to figure things out before breaking up.

I have younger friends who can’t find a stable relationship because the second there is a slight conflict, they can find another person, in some cases on the day of the breakup.

My younger friends is constantly ina perpetual honeymoon phase. Never figuring out how to figure out conflicts and disagreement.

Tribalism at its finest

Again, not that stupid.

Don’t do this. Vote and canvas in the midterms.

My previous work didn’t revoked my access to their CMS. I was so upset when they laid me off after telling them my wife is pregnant.

But I ain’t that stupid.

I used to work for Wells Fargo and during the 2008 crash, Wells Fargo branches had frequent protests.

I quit a few months after that. I didn’t want to work for the baddies.

So much to unpack here but I’ll do my best to address everything you’re saying here.

1- Chinese cars can’t compete in price: yes because China has been dumping subsidies into the market, inflating the supply. China dumped 231 billion dollars into EVs from 2009 to 2023. Over 500 electric car brands were created due to this injection. There is only are less than 100 left after China stopped the subsidies.

2- The Chinese EV are a superior product: which one of the 500 car companies are you referring to? outside ofthe top China brands (Geely, BYD), they all sorta suck.

China is doing is state sponsored “dumping”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy) which artificially reduces prices to gain market share and has a negative effect on the industry. Every country in the world, not just the US, has an anti dumping policy, including China.

While we the consumer would love to spend pennies on the dollar for an electric cars, the effect is only temporary and when we start losing car companies due to this practice, prices always, ALWAYS, are higher after we lose competition.

Anti dumping policies is not hindering free market. The second you inject 231 billion dollars of government subsidies into an industry, is the second it no longer becomes a free market.

Yes, the USA has also has given subsidies. In total about 30 billion dollars. A drop in the bucket on the 231 billion the CCP has injected.

I would too, but you have to understand why the USA is blocking these cars from coming in. The cost of these cheap EVs are not based off of supply and demand. Its not even this cheap because of effectiveness or efficiencies. Its from the CCP subsidies. The CCP wants to dump on the competition in efforts to kill off anyone making a car, then start jacking up the price after they have market share.

Go on…

This guy fucks
