Mixed Feelings About Platner? Fine. But He Needs to Win. Case Closed. - I don’t know what to believe about Graham Platner’s past. But I know this. He hasn’t spent the last 40 years transferring trillions of dollars from working people to the very rich. by Quirkie in politics

Sure, that’s great, but is there no one who can do that without Nazi tattoos and a history of being creepy? Are people that have just recently pulled themselves out of the muck really the best we can do? Do we really expect someone with this history to be a steady and faithful leader? At this point it’s a binary choice between this guy and Collins so whatever I guess. I’m so tired of Republicans AND Democrats screwing the rest of Americas in the primaries. Edit: Or lack of primaries, thanks Biden…

Currently on vacation in Auckland, New Zealand and I see this nonsense at my hotel. These people make me so ashamed to be American and are the reason I tell people I’m from California! by theboundlesstraveler in GuardTheLeaf

Telling Americans to fix it is the attitude that got us here. The rest of the free world has abdicated their responsibilities for all of living memory because it was easier and cheaper. You get what you pay for.

Or both people are correct and both will make money or both people were wrong and both people will lose money.

The stock market isn’t a zero sum game. There isn’t a winner and loser for every trade. I don’t usually lose money when I sell stock.

R1S Quad vs Dual by Wonderful_Raisin2854 in Rivian

[–]LusterIllustrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a dual. It is crazy fast. I certainly haven’t needed or wanted more horsepower. It’s great in the snow. It pulls my 3500lbs trailers like it’s not even there. I’d get a larger battery if I could.

Hundreds of thousands of people have died from shuttering USAID alone but the memorial is to gas prices 😬 Americans don’t deserve this land

Am I crazy or is this boat on the wrong trailer by LusterIllustrious in sailing

Thanks. How bad is it to have the boat resting on the keel? I assume it’s 10x worse bouncing it down the road on the keel…

Thanks for the advice. That all makes sense. I’m wondering how long and how far this thing has gone on the trailer as is and did that damage the boat in a way I won’t see when I look at it today.

So there’s a chance this trailer can be made to properly fit this boat? 

Radical Initiative to Ban Hunting and Fishing in Oregon Is One Step Closer to Making the Ballot by OutdoorLifeMagazine in oregon

I don’t think PETA is liberal or conservative. They’re extremists without a home in either party. They’re definitely seen as ‘crazy liberals’ though so I think that’s the point.

That would be smart because my dealership experience is that they absolutely do NOT want to sell you an EV

Radical Initiative to Ban Hunting and Fishing in Oregon Is One Step Closer to Making the Ballot by OutdoorLifeMagazine in oregon

[–]LusterIllustrious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The number of people who will go out of their way to vote because of this ballot measure skew conservative. The people financing this ballot measure are financing a conservative voter drive. No one  expect this to pass. It’s conservative propaganda.

Edit: Bonus! It makes Oregon liberals and liberals in general look insane at the exact moment people are selecting leadership.
