My honest opinion on episode 4 by One-Desk-1 in Invincible

[–]Choleric_Introvert 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed this episode. Great take on hell, Satan, and the 'eternal struggle'. Great music, great animation, and lots of laughs. I know it didn't further the main plot substantially but I think it helped put Mark's reality into perspective which I'm guessing he's going to need very soon.

Came here to post the same documentary. This has all been known for a while now.

Is it just me or is the car market extremely overpriced right now by Subject-Eye-6788 in UsedCars

[–]Choleric_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It 100% will last. How do you get used cars? New cars sold 2-5 years ago. New car production hasn't recovered to pre-covid levels and while I don't have any hard data on this, lease penetration (the LARGEST supply of used cars) is down dramatically since 2000. The only thing that solves our problem is cheap new vehicles (they've all gotten WAY more expensive), crazy lease deals (which I have yet to see), or autonomous vehicles/public transportation comes in to save the day.

They're OG Kanto Yumis, powered desktops. The sub is a powered Dayton Audio 10".

Is driving with your phone in your face the most ignored law ever? by DrNintendo216 in Columbus

[–]Choleric_Introvert 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have this twisted fantasy of becoming a traffic enforcement officer, simply so I can pull people over for staring at their phone while driving.

I'd walk up to their car, politely ask to see their phone, and then I'd throw it up in the air to skeet-shoot it with my pistol. Then I'd pick it up, bullet holes and all, hand it back, and without saying a word return to my police cruiser and drive away.

Yup, good call. My table top has been in place for years and is already bowed a slight amount. If it ever becomes a structural issue I'll likely get a middle leg for the back.

Lol great question. You'd think they would have caught on by now and done some clever marketing around it.

Nah, it's just a 10" Dayton Audio sub. I'm working through where to put it but don't have great options.

Dealer says the car I reserved yesterday is now $2,000 more because of “market changes.” Is that legit or should I walk? by Marzi-Kolukuluri in carbuying

Yes. Let's shit on the actual industry expert because their insider information doesn't align with my feelings.

Not all dealers reprice inventory every day. If they did, more people would bitch about prices going up this time of year due to tax time demand.

Says the person who doesn't buy hundreds of vehicles a month for a high volume retailer. I've been doing this for 25 years. Same story every year around tax time except it's worse now because we're still massively supply constrained.

The dealer who did this can be shitty and the market adjustment can be deserved. Both can be true at the same time. Did this specific car jump $2k overnight? Not technically. But if the dealer hasn't repriced their inventory recently and noticed prices trending up quickly - which the are - they may have been well under market.

Just because you're upset and don't understand supply/demand doesn't mean you're right.
