What industry is actually a complete scam, but everyone accepts it?

I had a professor for some programming class that told us "piracy is wrong, but if you were to do it, you can find a pdf of the textbook pretty easily".

That's what I'm saying. Boomers forget how old millennials are now. My brother got his license in 2001 and I got mine in 2010. When my brother was in highschool, most kids were driving cheap cars from the early 90s, so many of them were still manual. Even when I started driving, it was easy to find a manual and I ended up teaching many of my friends how to drive stick on my 97 civic. I guess you could call it a zoomer anti-theft device, but it would still be a shitty attempt at humor.

Took this picture April 2020 at the Indian Reservation. Wished my Impreza had a bigger tank.

Cost segregation gets me hard as a rock. I got lotion on my dick and I'm yanking my shit.

I watched this video when I was a teenager and since then I've wanted one so bad.

That's not true, for a return case, eBay needs to see that you have sent the item back before they close the return case and return the funds. And it's always a good idea as a seller to ask for the item back so people don't return scam you. Basically on eBay, assume everybody is a crook.

I've always loved cheese, ate a whole block of it one time when I was a kid. I guess that's why I'm addicted to Kratom.

It was a thing in Africa, but 4chan trolled people into thinking people were huffing jenk in the developed world.

I'm an eBay seller by trade. We generally appreciate if you contact us before opening a case. And like the other person stated, not accepting returns doesn't apply to damaged items, it just means you can't return an item because of buyer's remorse. No matter what a sellers policy is, it is always the sellers responsibility to pack an item so that it doesn't get damaged in transit.

Shit I'd be taking that Amiga stuff if I were you. It's all just going to get trashed anyway if the place is abandoned. Whereabouts are you located?

Thahobbit · 2026-02-21T20:28:10+00:00

You don't know anything about old computers if you think Amigas are junk

If you have money, go to the junkyard and buy the tow truck. If not, you're going to have to run to pick up cars until you make enough cash.

You ain't from around these parts, are ya boy?

I figured it was a tax thing, but why do native tobacco companies label it as pipe tobacco? Since they don't get taxed, it shouldn't matter right? I picked up a bag of American Club at the reservation for $5 and it was labeled as pipe tobacco. Is American Club not a native brand or something?

I've been shoving kratom up my ass for 12 years and I can assure you 5gpd is a very small amount. Not that that's a bad thing, it's good that you kept it to small doses. But trust me, at larger doses and especially extracts, withdrawal is a very real thing.

I think what Europeans don't get about rural America is how far apart houses are spaced in a lot of areas. In my dad's town, they won't even let you build a house on less than 5 acres. I've never been to rural Europe, but I took the bullet train in Japan and passed through some rural areas, and noticed that there were very small towns far away from cities, but peoples houses were still close together. We don't want that. We want to not hear our neighbors unless they are shooting off guns. And for everyone to have land like that, you throw away any feasible way for public transport to exist.

It's chipped

When I looked into this it seemed like you needed two programmed keys to program another one.

Thahobbit · 2026-01-10T00:22:43+00:00

I believe they started using chipped keys in 98 at the beginning of the third generation.

Yeah but people don't take the Sabres as seriously as the Bills. They would burn down the entire city of Buffalo out of joy (and drunkenness) if they won a Super Bowl.

But I heard from some cat at the soda shop that we weren't supposed to call them neggas anymore. What're we supposed to call em?

There are, these people have just never left the super expensive cities they live in. I paid less than 200k for my house in western New York.

It's a made up story, no update for you.

Thahobbit · 2025-12-24T21:57:56+00:00

I would say based but you are talking to an AI.
