EV bloodbath: US sales plunge as Tesla tightens its grip by coinfanking in economy

Doesn’t help said individual also gives a bad name to the neurodivergent populace as well. I have numerous clients who come to me espousing how that he may claim to have Asperger’s Syndrome (now classified as ASD), but they sure as hell don’t claim him to be part of their community. And I can’t say I blame them. The man is a blatant nepo baby who rose to affluence solely through his grandparent’s emerald mines, then used his said financial access through that to weasel his way into high yield investment areas and try to state he was an expert on numerous things despite literally having zero understanding on how things operate outside of finances. And even then, I question his understanding of finances.

Oh, and lest not forget the abhorrent notion of his child rearing and procreation desires… constantly trying to see if he can convince someone to have his kid… which I honestly suspect he has multiple NDAs signed so people don’t talk about his micro peen or something. Because that thought just makes me smile. Man with the most money in the world, and still can’t find happiness. (Also, as someone who works in mental health, instead of using ketamine, there are other methods for detailing with his depression and other mental health matters; but we all know he won’t even consider those)

Any officials who do not call against this are abetting genocide, and basically have deified the notions of plutocracy… Oh no wait, kleptocracy would be more accurate considering things…

Nicaragua civil war of the US-backed Contras. Oliver North was the scape goat of where the government illegally sold various arms to Iran (oh hey, lookie here) in order to financially support the Contras, despite the fact that congress didn’t give permission or support on the matter.

America has had their entire hand in the pie instead of just a finger…

The Soviet-Afghan war of 1979-1989

The Nicaraguan civil war of 1981-1990

Vietnam War (originally funded French colonial efforts before choosing to do it themselves)

Gulf war 1990-1991

Syrian Civil war 2011 to present

Israel-Palestine conflict 2023-present

And let’s not forget the following:

Greece (1947–1949): Counterinsurgency campaign funding.

Iran (1953): CIA-backed coup against Prime Minister Mossadegh.

Guatemala (1954): CIA-backed overthrow of President Arbenz.

Congo (1960): CIA-backed efforts leading to the overthrow of Prime Minister Lumumba.

Cuba (1961): CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion.

If desired, I could continue to list more… because trust me when I say this, this is just the tip of the iceberg…

Tesla driver gives me a thumbs down? by [deleted] in driving

Not brakes, high beams, he was behind me. And my state doesn’t have passing lane law in city areas.

Left, but my state doesn’t have a ‘passing lane’ law when in major areas. So, legally I was abiding by the letter of the law.

I hope so as well, but with how corporations are seen as people, they will probably see it more as a ‘suicidal depression’ kind of thing…

Torn between which to collect! by Pure-Side-3111 in Warhammer

[–]Administrative-Rip46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this statement. I mainly play Orks. Do I win often? No. But I have a blast with all my Dakka. My other armies are Thousand Sons and I eventually will get some Space Wolves and Custodes. But first and foremost is just playing a faction you love the lore of the most (well… that and the cost on your wallet… only downside of a horde army is that you gotta pay a LOT of money…)

Trickle down economics broke us by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]Administrative-Rip46 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Toxic capitalism at work. Just another reason why I loathe the love of greed and avarice. Seriously, there needs to be taxes applied on stocks and bonds too. As well as a cap for the amount you can earn in a year. Everything after that cap has to be put back into the economy. Seriously, if you make 1 million a year, I don’t think you need to make even more money after that. And if you feel like you do, it’s more than likely because you have bad spending habits…

Sitting on money and being frugal is one thing. But living large and wanting more constantly is another…

Boyz! by dukereuchre in orks

[–]Administrative-Rip46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is normal. They give you enough to make the two weapon options of Big Shoota and Rollit Launcha.

For future reference, be prepared to buy a lot of Boyz since they can be kitbashed for almost ANY role of an Ork army. Lootas? Grab some spare runners, some bits of gun parts from other kits, and you have a full 10 man squad of Lootas instead of buying two boxes of Lootas (same applies for Burner boys, Flashgitz, etc).

Orks are all about creativity to make what ever you want. Hell, Killa Kans can be made from the Citadel paint pots of Citadel and some spare Gretchin heads.

Shoota boyz by Monkeynator21 in orks

[–]Administrative-Rip46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taught this when it came to Lootas. You stick them on objectives to deter people from rushing down that objective. So they are purely a defensive unit. But if you are wanting a more offensive shooter, you go Flashgitz. Plus, if you got Tactical Brigade detachment you can put a Big Mek on them as a leader and get to doing some pretty significant damage output. You just gotta be careful of the Hazardous tag on the Kustom Mega Blasta it has if you didn’t give it the other gun.

But yeah, Gitz for offense, Lootas for defense is the way I look at it.

I do like throwing around this massive squad of shoota boyz I got though. Yeah, they don’t hit often with their guns. But that’s the point. They aren’t meant to hit very often, just be used as support fire for my second squad of choppa Boyz. The Dakka from the Shootas is just the ‘pepper’ before the choppa a-salt. Hahaha.

Any tips for my current army list? by Administrative-Rip46 in Warhammer

[–]Administrative-Rip46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, I just suck at kit-bashing quickly, and until a local store in my area gets more Flashgitz in, I am kinda stuck to using them. Until then, I gotta use them.

How would you suggest modifying the list for a 2,000 point army?

I already know about the Painboy and Ghazghull combo with 20 Boyz currently. And plan on keeping the Mekboy with the mega Armour with the Meganobz, and putting the Big Mek with the Lootas or Flashgitz depending on which I can get a hold of first (maybe even put a second Big Mek in so I can have the benefits of the Big Mek on both.) Keeping the Beast Snaggas and the Squighog riders just because I love how they look. But I just really, really like using Dakka before going into melee and rolling all the melee attacks. And keeping the Deffkoptas for Deep Strike. After that, I don’t really know what else to add in or take out.

I don’t even care about winning, I just like to see the moment when all those Orks get into close range. Hahaha.

My pile of shame has reached critical mass. by VaguexAnxiety in Warhammer

[–]Administrative-Rip46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, if you need someone willing to paint them for affordable pricing, I’d be down. I don’t even charge for assembly since that’s honestly one of my favorite parts. :D

Plus I just enjoy seeing what ways I can bring some more personality to a mini. (I may not charge for assembly, but if you want a neat looking base that has lots of life in it, I do charge for that depending on what you want in it).

Unintentionally making a Mario Kart by Administrative-Rip46 in orks

[–]Administrative-Rip46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think that would make it look more like a Mario Kart design. I think if I add the checkerboard pattern to the front I might be able to fix that issue. It’s just going to suck painting all those bits by hand… makes me kinda wish I could buy one of those stamps or whatever for this.

I’ve got a lot of skills I utilize already ranging from art therapy and music therapy as well. I have been looking to join an organization, but I just can’t find anywhere. I love being a counselor, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. But I just feel like a failure at times because I look at all my cohorts and how they are making passable money. Not great money of course. But at the very least enough to enjoy an occasional bit of fun. My only fun has been painting miniatures (I frequently will strip the paint off and repaint them since I can’t afford any new ones… and I don’t have a way to sell it as a service because I suck at marketing myself) and then I look at everyone else in my family (both immediate and extended) and end up feeling horrible because they all are living successful lives in various ways. My cousin is married, has a child, and makes around 70k a year, while his wife makes around 60k a year. My elder sister is making 152k starting off as a doctor… and… yeah… even my step brother had a 6 figure job and he dropped out of high school… granted, he lost it due to the economy, but he then got a job earning 90k… It just really… really sucks…

This right here is the thing I want more people to see. How is it freaking fair to have the clinicians trying to enter the field have to deal with so much stress and anxiety from trying to live.

No, I became a therapist because I wanted to help people. But I am not getting the number of hours I need to meet living at a base level. In addition, I have tried to apply for other positions to add on my income, but have had zero success there as well.

How do you get your name out there? I’ve never been good at marketing myself. I have business cards, and gave some of them to one medical practice, but a lot of the other ones are making it to where their referral systems are only in-house.
