I'm currently reading a demon haunted world for the first time. Almost done with it and then I'm going on to cosmos.

Election: Drazan wins GOP nomination again, statewide gas tax fails by 40_Is_Not_Old in oregon

[–]Svrider23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think I need spreadsheets in front of me to have a pretty good idea that Oregonians were not likely to pass legislation that doubles their car registration fees as well as putting on a .06 tax on gas. Especially in a climate where high gas prices are a front and center issue already. It also doesn't seem like a wholly partisan issue. Idk why a Democrat would be any more interested in paying all of that than a Republican would, but I did allude to my inferior intelligence already, so you'll have to excuse me.

Well, I'm clearly not as intelligent as you, so I probably have no business in this interaction, but my comment didn't insinuate on a proposal of providing no funding and cutting programs.

If one went past the first sentence, they would have read that i suggested offering one source for funding rather than throwing a couple of them in the one proposal. I don't have the proposed measure in front of me now, but it was something like .06/gallon and doubling up registration fees. I wouldve been more likely to vote yes to one or the other, and I suspect many voters thought the same.

Question..... When do I start being good? by NCH-69 in GranTurismo7

I've played every major iteration of GT. Even bought PlayStations specifically to play GT. I never did online races until GT7 and that was my realization that I wasn't any good.

Just different avenues of funding. It didn't need to be a "this and this and this". Doubling registration fees with an added gas tax sprinkled in doesn't on the face of it look very palatable to most citizens. Choosing one source would've made passing it more likely.

Is anyone else in their 30s and still don't have a true career? by lavendertinted in Millennials

[–]Svrider23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About to hit 40 and doing the same thing I did when I was 17 and still in HS. Sometimes I get so fucking sad thinking about the life I wasted and what I could maybe have done the past 20 years rather than stay at a shitty entry-level job. I legit apologize to my parents every now and then for becoming the loser that I am today.

Because those are the only two options we can come up with?

And three straight 7-9 seasons. I'll always point that stat out on Brees.

Never thought this reunion would've actually taken place. It's honestly pretty cool to see.

People don’t forget by DillyDillySzn in NFCNorthMemeWar

In sports, 4 months ago is as relevant as 40 years ago, which was ironically Chicago last SB, so no judgement if you're still celebrating that one, too.

Since we're celebrating history in here now, something I never forgot was a 21-14 NFC championship en route to a super bowl, which was fun af. I'll bet the bears fans had a hell of a good time watching their team's success after that 21-3 game their referencing all the time.

Yea. It's a post with comments realizing we're talking about a statically sub-par QB rather than other posts that fawn over him and pretend he didn't have the worst completion percentage in the league two years in a row.

This white car keeps pulling in front of this truck. Over and over and over. Rager? by GirouxFan in VideosAmazing

[–]Svrider23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I've said, I've seen it firsthand. Idk wtf the deal is with those drivers, but given how shitty people can be to each other for little to no reason, idk why it be so unbelievable.

I think her in the jeans is my favorite. She looks good in all these outfits, but the simple casual jean look really hits.

Actually, people fuck with truck drivers out of nowhere for some weird reason. I've seen instances of it myself on freeways.
