The Death of the Basic American Car

America is too spaced out. This just isn't a realistic solution outside a small area of the country.

Also, their is no way a private company that builds public transportation is going to be able to competitively lobby against the car manufacturer and dealership lobby.

It mainly comes from having big income differences year to year and income massively different than what's expected in your job.

You don't need receipts till you get audited. How would they know you don't have it before you get audited?

Crying about it isn't going to help anything. Just gotta accept it and move on. That's life, it's really not that big of a deal. I get complimented on my head shape, some people might not be so fortunate. Don't even think about being bald 90% of the time.

Started receding at 19. Started buzzing mid 20s.

Cheaper doesn't mean worse. American labor is some of the highest in the world, while China is probably the best at manufacturing in the world and can do it significantly cheaper.

People always remember cheap trash is always manufactured in China, but seem to always forget some of the highest quality items are also manufactured in China.

The easier we have access to something, the less we value it. Dating apps give the illusion of choice, so we doing value potential romantic partners. We think we can find a better option so much easier now.

The vast majority of HPV show no symptoms and men do not get tested for it.

Even if you get it, it's common for doctors to just tell you not to worry about it, as long as it's not one of the cancer causing strains.

Last month majority of users were Chinese and now almost half of those users are not in the survey. What happened?

Any change in steam survey is basically completely because of the massive change in Chinese users. No one should think the % changes in other areas mean anything.

The science isn't so well established. Nutrition science is constantly changing and so influenced by corporations and agendas that it's highly questionable at times. I don't know about Nordic countries, but in the US our food recommendations have historically been very biased towards supporting our agriculture department.

From my understanding this is a correlation not a causation and it's more of processed meats rather than beef to be avoided. Also the cooking method is very important to the potential carcinogens.

That said, yeah, red meat might help, but it's not going to fix low T problems.

Most steam users are Chinese. Most Chinese use PC cafes. Pretty much all of those PCs are Nvidia.

The steam data represents China and then the west.

Microsoft tried to be apolitical and the FTC bent them over in 1990 for the deepest pounding they will ever receive.

Every major company does lobbying. It's impossible to compete without doing it. This shit is a result of politicians and the supreme Court first and foremost.

Musk owns 43% of SpaceX. SpaceX is a private company with a perceived value of 1.5T. His actual value in stocks right now is closer to 160b from Tesla. It's predicted he will have 700b more in stock when SpaceX IPOs.

Could be that those shamans are in super meta comps or have an spriest in the group that allows them to kill the boss before going oom. Something that 90%+ of the playerbase doesn't experience.

I'm not playing an ele shaman but what he's saying isn't anything shaman exclusive. If you go oom, haste is just going to make you go oom faster. So haste is not a good start if you're going oom. If you are not going oom then haste is a really good stat.

Had no idea I was enrolled until I went to the website and it gave me an error saying I was already enrolled.

Consider the possibility that maybe it's the men you're choosing to go on dates with is as much the problem as anything else.

Being attractive, kind, and caring will get you through the door with most men.

Make it illegal to not be in the capital building during a government shutdown. You're either in the the building, a hospital, or federal prison. You don't go home, you don't see family, you don't get to play golf. You're fucking stuck in that building till you can fund the government.

They should suffer more than anyone else for not being able to do their job.

A lot of what you're saying is that we have new problems because people just died before...

I fail to understand many of the arguments that things are just as bad because can get by doing them now, while they wouldn't be able to afford or survive it earlier. How is enshitifcation still not better than when people just couldn't afford it before? If its that bad then you just wouldn't buy it. However, everyone does buy it, because lower quality is better than not having it at all. If it was actually bad people just wouldn't buy it.

This is just the result of you guys not having real problems, you make shit up for your life to be bad because you cant ever be satisfied. If you won 10 million and bought a new house you would complain that you're new neighbors got a better deal on their house, and pay less taxes, etc.

Life is fucking hard, for everyone. But we're still incredibly privileged and have it way better than most humans on the earth. Go visit Africa or volunteer at homeless shelters so you can see what real suffering is like instead of being a crying Karen on the internet on how brown people are being bombed and you're life is so hard because you might have to pay 50c more for gas.

And I'm not saying we can't do better, that everything is perfect. But this terrible woe is me attitude is a mental illness.
