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.
