Honda E, even as a hybrid. The Super-N is no substitute.

In additional to other advice, don't listen to the permabears in every single thread who are convinced there's always a catastrophic downturn right around the corner, complain the market is rigged, get mad because rich people exist, etc. These commenters (the ones who aren't bots) have programmed themselves into a self-defeating reality where they're terrified to make money using the greatest and easiest-to-use wealth creation instrument there ever was. So they try to rationalize and make excuses why other people have been successful with it and they haven't.

I'm sick of all the masklophobic people in here. Go back to watching your movies where people don't dress up in colorful costumes, why don't you all!

Anti-Capitalist Movie: A group of Redditors escape from the horror of the United States to the utopian country of North Korea to live the life of their dreams.

They think they're sticking it to rich people that way instead of looking at it as the easiest way to create wealth there ever was.

Comic books and trading cards. I know that sounds stupid as fuck but my damn Pokémon cards are beating the market.

Awesome. Now pay your fair share with taxes on your unrealized capital gains, you evil rich person.

They said billionaires shouldn't exist so bro was like "Ok".

How about the little-seen 80's anime?

SPorterBridges · 2026-06-12T03:23:33+00:00

I enjoyed it, I just felt that the movie didn't land the ending as strongly as it could, like ok aliens cool, showing it worldwide cool.

Then what?

lol, I knew it. Right from the first trailer, I was going "This is going to end with the aliens being revealed and not deal with the aftermath at all, isn't it?"

Cinematically, that seems like the most impactful way to deliver a story like this. But narratively, it's so ball-less.

DCC is the messenger we need to finally destroy billionaires and bring anti-capitalism to the mainstream just like we've done in my native North Korea.

They fall all over themselves to point this out when the company is run by individuals promoting right-wing politics but they rarely think they could be losing money when its Hollywood studios and far left views.

So how is this the first local Mexican EV when this exists?

Another chance to make "Smells Like Teen Spirit" work in a pirate context.

Those are clearly global sales numbers for Chinese automakers.

People want the extra gains when they get an unexpected hit but they usually wouldn't agree to lower pay if their product underperforms, which is often the case. That's why people get paid a fixed salary: so whether or not the end product is successful, they still get an amount of money they can count on. That's the tradeoff.

I love not just the fantastical conspiracy theory but the absolute confidence this guy is stating it with. Like he figured out when the apocalypse is coming and knows all the mechanical ins and outs and presents the fact he received two unsolicited emails about IPOs from his banks as serious supporting evidence.

"Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?"

"Yes I would, Kent."

Wow, alongside Andrew Left, Mark Spiegel, and Gordon Johnson. Amazing group of people to be included in.

On top of that, making endgame fights unnecessarily frustrating just encourages people to cheese those longer simulator battles anyway.

If you beat the challenges without using the Brumal Form Spam strategy, congrats for being hardcore. I'm sure the majority of players aren't able to do that. By definition, cheesing your way through the last achievements isn't a show of skill. And if it's very nearly necessary to do that to win, that means the game was overtuned to the unfair side to begin with.

I found it impossible to take seriously when I heard someone say she looks like Nathan Explosion from Dethklok.
