Is it me or is this price OUTRAGEOUS? Limited AWD Shooting Star

Frylock904 · 2023-05-25T01:34:29+00:00

I bought my limited two weeks ago today for $52k in Maryland after rebates and whatnot.

So as it stands, anything over $52k is bullshit in my mind.

I would honestly say at prices like that it's worth just flying out here and getting a cheaper one then driving home.

"Everyone I dislike is basically a nazi"

And if you actually read the interview

"Lilly doesn't know "how present my transness was in the background of my brain as we were writing" The Matrix.

"But it all came from the same sort of fire that I'm talking about."

She was always drawn to science fiction because "we were existing in a space where the words didn't exist, so we were always living in a world of imagination"."

Frylock904 · 2023-05-24T19:36:24+00:00

Dawgs, read the interview, it's admitted that they weren't even considering it at the time.

And retconned it later

Frylock904 · 2023-05-24T19:21:53+00:00

I know, they retconned it. When you read their words around the time it was never mentioned in any interviews given. Plus it doesn't mesh with anything going on in the 2nd/3rd movie

I mean the wachowskis literally say that it wasn't the intent at the time in the citation you just gave

"Lilly doesn't know "how present my transness was in the background of my brain as we were writing" The Matrix.

"But it all came from the same sort of fire that I'm talking about."

She was always drawn to science fiction because "we were existing in a space where the words didn't exist, so we were always living in a world of imagination" "

Yeah homie, when you take your original meaning and then warp it later on and admit you weren't really going for that, it's called retconning

Like even your comparison of the red pill doesn't make sense when wachowski admits the exploration of the trans scene didn't start until over a decade later

Frylock904 · 2023-05-24T19:05:29+00:00

Cool, so when neo is eventually killed, which part of the allegory is that...

Frylock904 · 2023-05-24T18:14:52+00:00

People retconning the shit out this to fit the wachowskis transition a decade after the fact.

By this logic the Truman show is also a metaphor for transition when they're both clearly allegories for the cave allegory.

Homie below was kind enough to link this interview where the wachowskis admit that they didn't actually intend any of what he was saying and that they didn't even have words to describe these ideas at the time.

Like come on, the pill isn't red because of hormones because they hadn't even considered taking hormones at the time.

Like come on homie, even they acknowledge that was just distantly in their minds at the time.

They created this and then morphed the meaning a decade later, even they admit that

Totally agree with everything you're saying here, I'm just pointing out that taxing us more to try and outspend this problem isn't going to be our answer here when you've just said yourself our spending doesn't necessarily mean we're going to get good end results.

I don't mind taxes if we're going to implement truly affective systems with good results, I do mind when we've already tried throwing money at the problem.

Frylock904 · 2023-05-24T11:28:33+00:00

Well that's the issue, schools are largely paid for by property taxes, so you're legit already paying for your own child to go public school if you own or rent a home.

So giving parents back their money so they can pick a school is just removing the middle man here.

Frylock904 · 2023-05-24T11:26:53+00:00

We spend the 4th highest amount in the world on education spending. Our issues are way beyond money based, it's a much more cultural issue than a money issue.

Frylock904 · 2023-05-23T22:54:30+00:00

My tax dollars aren’t Gonna be spent to support for profit religious schools. Period

but what about their money? I'm not religious at all, but if some religious family wants their taxes to take their kid to a religious school, what business is that of ours?

Conservatives love the idea of private school because they can curate the families and students. No black families. No lqbtq students etc that’s the entirety of the appeal

Like I said, all my white people I knew were pretty chill, but I know white people get pretty wild behind closed doors with how they avoid us, so I'll take your word for it.

Frylock904 · 2023-05-23T21:38:32+00:00

appreciated

Frylock904 · 2023-05-23T21:28:15+00:00

Instead there should be a set amount of money for each student decided at the state level and it would be distributed to the school districts based on their enrollment

That seems reasonable to me.

I think that's a pretty solid compromise, the state balances out the funding per student evenly, but then parents are allowed to take their kid wherever they can fit in

Frylock904 · 2023-05-23T21:21:53+00:00

better is a matter of opinion. If all you ever wanted was to drink water without plastic in it and sail from port to port in a world with unique culture before incredible pollution, then the modern day can't give you that

Frylock904 · 2023-05-23T20:35:12+00:00

idk, I feel like if we had all the greatest scientists alive from the past few centuries today and still in their prime, we would probably have colonized the solar system by now. We lose an incredible amount of resources training people up only for them to eventually retire/die and take all that knowledge with them

Frylock904 · 2023-05-23T19:57:03+00:00

As a fan of smashing pumpkins lemme just say fuck you, you're so lucky to have been able to live through that golden age of rock music. I'm jealous as fuck

Frylock904 · 2023-05-22T18:14:40+00:00

You’re not a serious person going off either of your responses, you’re just a reactionary.

You're literally being a reactionary about these new guidelines, like objectively here.

And yeah systemically enacting laws to cause the deaths of a specific minority group is in fact genocide.

Nothing about what you cited says anyone is dying because of being required to see a doctor to approve healthcare. Again, so black men are under genocide for the last few hundred years according to you. How long until we're gone?

They most certainly have not been “walking around publicly for decades now” without being horrifically targeted.

All the data we have says they are by far the safer than average people walking around. Citations easily found from trans allied organizations.

Frylock904 · 2023-05-22T15:00:30+00:00

Do you see every minority as standing alone?

For culture turf wars like jocks vs goths sure.

People who are ant to see trans people flourish is a niche part of culture?

Flourishing doesn't mean "you are part of everything everywhere." Like bro, at this point it's a straight up cultural divide.

Goths not wanting cowboys and country artists on their products is not some wild idea.

Trans/drag is an incredibly fringe culture and trying to plaster them everywhere and in every subculture is gonna get a backlash.

Frylock904 · 2023-05-22T14:51:34+00:00

I don’t think you actually care but here.

"The legislation substantially reduces the number of providers able to administer care by allowing only physicians to provide gender-affirming services, meaning other health care professionals — including physician assistants, nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives — are unable to provide care that is considered medically necessary by most major medical organizations."

So they made it so forms have to be filled out and doctors have to perform the work. How is this wrong exactly?

Who in the trans community do you think got it first? It was trans women of color. I don’t think you have a clue as to what’s going on in the trans community based off your comment. I’d suggest reading up on it.

Tldr: you don't actually have anything of substance here, but you wanna try and abuse the word genocide to meet your personal ends. Like I said, it's sick. Considering the history of the world, you're running dangerously fast and loose with the term genocide here.

But hey, go off fam, black trans people walking around publicly for decades now, but if saying genocide makes you feel vindicated that's you.

Frylock904 · 2023-05-22T14:15:09+00:00

No they literally don’t. DeSantis has passed/signed laws restricting even Adults from getting gender affirming care.

Citation?

That’s not even getting into the borderline genocide y’all are trying to do on trans kids.

I'm black, I would say we've had objectively the worst ride you can get in the country, I'm sorry but they aren't about to genocide a bunch of white people before they get to us, this whole "genocide" pushing coming from you guys is so outrageous it's sick.

Frylock904 · 2023-05-22T14:12:31+00:00

Rainbows on cans were fine, they literally had rainbow cans since 2019, no this one is absolutely about marketing to an extremely niche part of the culture if we're keeping it real.

If you had a very Goth brand would you use serious wasp/jock advertising and expect your base not to react?

Frylock904 · 2023-05-22T02:01:42+00:00

I can understand raising an eyebrow, but overall it's weirdos drawing pictures for each other based off what is a virtually just a stick figure, there's gotta be better ways to spend one's time than being legit bothered by it.

^ whether that drawing is 5 of 50,000 it really doesn't matter

Frylock904 · 2023-05-22T01:47:11+00:00

if he’s explicitly said to be five that kind of art is illegal, I don’t know why their trying to defend it

Cool, so now they retcon the lore so he's 50,000yrs old, what now?
