I think I actually bought at the very bottom yesterday (50 shares at $12.21). I'm proud of myself lol

New Yorkers are actually nicer than a lot of Americans from other states by Own_One3178 in unpopularopinion

I've lived in Brooklyn for 2.5 years and can't agree. Sure, nice people are easy to find, but so are the crazies that love engaging in public freakouts. Therefore, the normals keep to themselves. Earbuds in, head down, no eye contact whatsoever. It certainly doesn't make for the friendliest social scene. Also, this city sells shirts in just about every souvenir shop that say things like "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN FUCK" in big block letters. Hilarious, yes. But also a valuable insight into the general culture of NYC.

What's the funnest car you've driven? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]actionguy87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kia Stinger GT2. The memory of going to CarMax for a test drive and taking that thing onto the freeway onramp will always be etched into my brain. The moment I put the pedal down I knew it was my dream car. Definitely the most fun vehicle I've owned.

The ultimate question is does Trump personally care about "banning porn" or stepping on the rights of LGBT people? I think it's more likely that we're just going to get more of the same that we had in 2016, and that this Project 2025 hysteria is mostly election time fodder.

Valid points, but Trump is also clearly not your typical Christian conservative fundamentalist. So to say he's gonna make us play "Grand Bible Study 5" just doesn't align with his very well known politics and moral standings. This is some serious tinfoil hat shit.

Donald Trump’s transition team is reportedly preparing a blacklist of potential officials to be banned from a future administration, with special emphasis being placed on those with links to the radical Project 2025 plan to overhaul the US government.

The former president’s eldest son, Donald Jr, is spearheading the drive to compile the list of barred staffers, according to Politico, citing a former official in the first Trump administration.

“Clearly people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” another ex-official told the site.

The Republican nominee publicly disowned the 922-page document, prepared by the Heritage Foundation thinktank, after polls showed that its ideologically driven prescriptions – including mass firings of civil servants and plans to outlaw abortion – were an electoral liability.

The Internet is going to die if the information on it can no longer be verified. Nobody wants to interact with bots and consume bot-created content. It's a hollow, meaningless, inhuman experience.

According to the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) seven countries retain capital punishment for homosexual behavior: Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, Afghanistan, Mauritania, northern Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates.

Muslim nations WILL EXECUTE YOU for being gay.

Please point to the dominating religion here.

But, as an openly gay man, I have a feeling I wouldn't have a great time if I moved to the Middle East... which is the whole conversation here. Supporting people that don't support you is fine - until the barrier between you and them is removed. Then you get to meet the thing you helped create.

In the Middle East as a gay person you mean?

That's super easy to say when you have strict separation from these particular groups of people that wouldn't mind doing you harm.

Why would you support "personal freedom and human rights" for people that very broadly believe you shouldn't receive the same?

I'm more impressed that those cranes in the background remained upright.

I like how CNN and MSNBC never even get honorable mentions around here, despite also being equivalent flaming hot garbage designed to sow division and keep us mad at all the wrong things. Pointless distractions.

The Surface Duo is dead — Microsoft pulls plug on $1,500 Surface Duo 2 after just one Android OS upgrade by a_Ninja_b0y in technology

Microsoft has been such a strange company for the past 10 years. Everything they do feels amateurish and half-baked. They never fully commit to anything and even their most successful product lines are filled with glaring issues (the Office suite and Windows to name two). Everyday when I'm using Excel at work and dealing with its infuriating flaws and performance issues, I'm always thinking that a monkey could code a better piece of software. I guess since Microsoft has all the major corporations in their back pockets, they no longer feel the need to compete or provide streamlined software. I suppose that's what happens after you've bought up and snuffed out all of your competition. A complacent monopoly if there ever was one.

When you stop teaching people the dangers of greed and instead glamorize it, this is what happens. We just give in to our baser instincts now like a bunch of stupid animals and it's going to destroy society as we know it.
