I’ll die on the hill that driving would be so much safer if everyone had to pass in a manual transmission. That would eliminate so many people who have no business driving from doing so. There are too many people on the road who have no business driving a car.

What’s a clonk?

Also, kudos for at least trying to get the person out. Shame it ended the way it did, but you at least did what you could.

That’s insane! Did anyone pay for your damages?

You’re more patient than me. I’d have had a knife with its name on it the second time.

Sorry you had to go through that.

The executive team at my company was in shambles because no one was using the company intranet. So, they demanded that the company intranet be launched when a computer turns on. They were ecstatic that the numbers reached almost 100% in a day, even after being fully explained, and understanding, that the new traffic was, of course, not a real figure. All of the new numbers never went past the home page. Still, they patted themselves on the back, and partied.

So I guess what I’m getting to say is more people either wouldn’t care, or would even celebrate the fake data than one would think.

If only they would send me a free volume button since their factory one broke…

You would think, but you also have to remember: Canadians are also stupid. They’re us, just a decade behind.

Yep. And those dumb motherfuckers will repeal the CHIPS act my state is already using.

Espresso machine I’ve been wanting to buy.

Solar panel system for the house. (this one will get WAY more expensive)

Very thankful my girlfriend and I got ducks this spring. They’ll be worth their weight in gold shortly enough.

I’m really not sure about that. I would say a lot of us didn’t show up, which is damning. I wouldn’t say a lot of us voted for Trump. The data doesn’t back that.

Yeah, that’s fair. Especially in somewhere like California.

But yes, it’s absolutely wild. Just yesterday, in a very blue state, there was an army of Trumpers blocking like 3 intersections in their lifted trucks with Trump flags. They were screaming at everyone stuck watching the charade. It’s gotten, like you said, psychotic.

You’re right. Tactical is the more common name. I see them listed both ways. But yeah, you can get those cheap as hell. While not beginner friendly, they’ll do the job if the biggest concern is cost.

And that’s true, but I think it’s important to note that Trump is a symptom, not the disease itself. The disease is his base, and the corruption of their belief in democracy. I hope I’m wrong, but I feel like we’ll see this level of politics for a while more.

But good on you for doing the footwork! And thanks for linking those instances!

I think the best advice has been given by others.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Feel free to DM me if you need to vent, or if I can do anything to help.

It’s terrifying. If you’re in a position to, and don’t already have one, I’m encouraging everyone on the left to get a decent gun. Cheapest option is an assault 12 gauge. These people are full on, insane fascists. Their “day of retribution” will be a lot harder to impossible if we’re armed.

I’m not sure if it’s still valid, but there was that whole debacle where he fired every secret service agent except for ones that backed him politically.

Just look at the front “bumper”. It’s triangular, and made of metal. If it hits a pedestrian, unlike other cars that try to bump and deflect the pedestrian up onto the hood, the Cybertruck will cut the pedestrian in half with that angle. Also, because it’s metal, there is NO give. That could even be dangerous to other cars, let alone pedestrians and cyclists.

That’s just one aspect, though. You got 3 others from another commenter, making the Cybertruck tonight’s biggest loser.

Well, of course. A president attempting to overthrow the government is a huge deal, you fetid fucking moron.

Because they’re inferior in the minds of many.

Silver almost best them with no equipment.
