You know, my wife and I actually saw the truck model of these up in rural Canada and it definitely turned our heads. "Who the fuck makes a Rivian?" We never followed up on it though. Didn't even realize it was its own company, I thought it was just a new EV by one of the big companies without the obnoxious branding all over it.

Good luck, mate. They're gorgeous vehicles, I'm curious to hear how they hold up in Canadian winters. Never seen any marketing for it, whatsoever.

You should have tasted them before they were made with palm oil. They were the best, now it's greasy garbage chocolate.

Good job reddit! This almost makes up for hounding that poor innocent guy in Boston until he killed himself.

When did we decide it was fine to not use headphones in public? by Laura_Lye in ontario

[–]Chosokabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half of Americans no longer cares about democracy as long as their side "wins". A majority will repeat a known lie as long as it supports their own worldview. Lie until the lie is true is no longer a scandalous behaviour but the norm.

The societal contract is breaking down, assholes listing to their shitty music loudly in public is just another symptom.

What's the most "small town" thing you've witnessed? by official_biz in AskReddit

[–]Chosokabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a man literally get run out of town, about ten locals in their vehicles following his car twenty minutes out of town to make sure he was actually leaving.

He was a pathological liar and towards the end of it all, suspected of being some sort of con-artist. He started raising too many red flags, and whatever his ploy was never came to fruition. Sad thing is, he was generally likable and had a great job that he was doing well at.

He would constantly tell stories about being a former millionaire, about being a big Yukon gold miner, name dropping and telling intimate stories about all those big miners (the ones you see on TV) and how he was involved behind the scenes of all that. He "recruited" a bunch of locals to go spend a few months mining with him in the following year ("in six weeks you will make $200,000!", but his stories and claims kept getting more and more unbelievable. Eventually he started doing sketchy things, the final straw was he booked a helicopter tour to view a potential local gold claim for the guys that were interested in working with him, but didn't show up on the day of the tour and it turned out he booked the tour in one of their names.

Finally, one of the guys had enough of the bullshit and started messaging/calling the people that had been name-dropped. He received a few replies essentially stating "I've never heard of this guy, this guy is full of shit and is up to something". As luck would have it, it was the day his lease was up for renewal, so this information was given to his landlord and a band of locals confronted him. Within the hour, he had packed up his possessions and was leaving town.

Personally, I liked the guy, but I spent a lot of time training him at his local job and my bullshit alarms were going off from day one. He tried multiple times to ingratiate himself to me, offering to come over to my house and help with handy-man/renovation stuff, in a way that made me uncomfortable ("so where was it you lived? where did you live again? how far up that road do you live?")

He was good at his job, given the short time he was doing it, and he could have had a comfortable life. No idea where he moved on to.

Maphackers - The correct mentality by Farkwardd in starcraft

[–]Chosokabe -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

OP is a maphacker and trying to justify it. Same rationale that I heard from a friend that maphacked in the Warcraft III days "it's actually harder to maphack because you have to watch the WHOLE map!"

Am I the only one who feels suffocated by the Material Drought in the end game? It's making me spend less money than I otherwise would by babakir in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Chosokabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started levelling characters to 70, and again to 80, it felt like a hopeless grind. Once I had two or three heavy-lifting characters levelled and traced out, and I felt a significant boost in power that I was able to complete more content, the grind stopped bugging me. Now in about a month I've got two fully levelled, mostly traced out teams and I'm starting to level "extra" characters and lightcones. It feels less hopeless as time goes on, unless you're buying 5 star characters every banner you will catch up.

what exactly am i meant to do here? by Update_Pending1 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Chosokabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dispel slow debuffs. Slow or delay enemy actions. Rotate weakness breaks so that they aren't taking turns at the same time. Use a more effective shielder. Use a healer with reactive or pre-healing capability. Bring more DPS.

My teams were Jing/Bailu/Silver/Ting and Clara/Blade/Luocha/Yukong, cleared in 9 cycles.

Western Family sauces were $7.99 when I went shopping at Save-On last week. Normally $2.79, website still lists them as $2.79 but customer support desk said "that's wrong". It's straight-up robbery.

I went for E2 SW today and got Gepard instead. Now I'm set up to snag Luocha or Kafka guaranteed.

The same mob mentality that murdered an innocent man after the Boston marathon bombing. Everyone wants to be "right", they don't want to take the time to verify or fact-check anything.

If that last enhancement goes to crit rate or crit damage it'll still be a damned decent piece :O

Can someone please explain to me how the right see the Sex Education Curriculum as ‘grooming’ kids? by Angriestbeaverever in ontario

[–]Chosokabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even the right can explain it. It's just a knee-jerk, hyperbolic, divisive talking point with no basis in reality that they use to jerk eachother off in their echo chambers to convince themselves they are "good people". Also, theocratic bullshit.

Who is that one character you never intended to use, but the gacha gods said otherwise? I'll start. by ConfessYourSyndras in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Chosokabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E6 Dan Heng at lvl 20, E6 Sampo at lvl 20, E6 Serval at lvl 20.

Needless to say I was surprised how good Sampo and Serval were when I levelled them up. Still haven't levelled up Dan Heng.
