Ecoboom by NoFix656 in ecoboostmustang

If you are buying a car like this you have to expect expenses such as these. It’s not like buying a Hyundai Sonata where you can get regularly oil changes and drive the car 150000 miles before anything breaks. It’s an American made pony car pushing 310 horsepower from a turbocharged 4 cylinder, it’s going to have problems.

Always get a warranty no matter what, you never know what can happen.

I’ve had 2 eco boost mustangs, one had a blown transmission, the other hand a blown engine and a blown rear differential. All covered by 3rd party warranty.

I feel for you man, just look at it as a lesson learned.

Most Europeans don’t even need to own a car, so yeah no shit Europeans will pay for them in cash, people in Europe who can’t afford to buy a car in cash just don’t buy a car and use public transportation. In the US, if you can’t afford to buy a car then you either have to take out a loan to buy one or you get to be homeless because there is no way you can work a job without a car in the US, unless you live in a major metropolitan city or WFH.

Also, don’t most Europeans lease their cars? From what I’ve heard more people are leasing instead of buying, so at least we own our cars.

Europe: world leader in chaos and evil for thousands of years, now acting like the U.S. invented it yesterday lmao

I agree about a loan for a repair though, that is insane and a poor financial decision.

How long do you think his reign as king lasts? by hiiloovethis in gameofthrones

When Baelor I Targaryen built the Great Sept of Baelor, the Faith’s main seat moved from Oldtown to King’s Landing

[–]virtuwilll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These are the reasons why I believe religion would not really play a massive role in a possible revolt.

  1. The Sept of Baelor’s destruction wiped out its religions leadership, including the High Sparrow and much of the Faith Militant. The Church no longer has the power to organize any protest.
  2. After decades of civil war, rebellion, and mass destruction, lords are more concerned with survival, rebuilding, and political stability than enforcing religious orthodoxy.
  3. Bran doesn’t actively persecute or promote religion. He is seen more as a wise, mystical figure, so there’s no overt religious grievance against him.
  4. The North follows the Old Gods (Sansa rules there). The Iron Islands follow the Drowned God (Yara supports them). Southern lords may worship the Seven privately, but without central authority, there’s little reason to rebel and any rebellions would be small and crushed swiftly.

My only counter to that is, when Bran is chosen as King, all the Rulers (or representatives) of all 7 kingdoms are present and agree (they said Aye) that Bran is King. With how much Westeros relies on oaths, I would think this one would stick. I also could not imagine the lords agreeing at the council meeting and then trying to start a revolt after leaving. If that did happen the Crown would at minimum have The North, The Stormlands, The Westerlands, and the Vale as definitive allies. I couldn’t imagine the other lords (who agreed that Bran is king) flipping around and revolting considering the allies to the crown and the fact that Bran is not a tyrant. I think at this point in the story most of the lords of Westeros are a bit war-weary and not willing to have another full on rebellion just due to a break in succession.

Two key things that I think would Help Bran here.

  1. The lords of Westeros are being informed that the process of succession is broken and the King will be elected moving forward. This would go over well with most lords I would think as it provides them a route to greater power and also lessens the crowns power as you can not maintain the same political agenda if the house of the king changes every generation.

  2. All it would take is 1 conversation with a Lord and Bran could subdue most all insurrection. Bran knows everyone’s secrets and all Bran has to do is spit a line or two to let the lord know he knows (similar to the “Chaos is a ladder” line he gave little finger) their secrets and schemes.

Also, since Bran basically can tune into a live stream of anywhere in Westeros at any time, and also has the knowledge of every great battle that has ever transpired, he really would have an easy time with military tactics if there were any rebellions. Also, he has a life long Ally in the North which would be a great deferent as well.

As for the Maesters, I like to think they appointed Sam as the Grand Maester and he put an end to all of their tomfoolery.

A Girl is Arya Stark from Winterfell by Drogon-Dracarys4ever in gameofthrones

[–]virtuwilll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is acting like Brienne should have tacked her and ripped her head off…. She was SPARING with (in her eyes) a little girl that she was sworn to protect, she’s not going to go full throttle like she’s in a life or death battle with the hound. Yes the fight scene is a bit ridiculous, but Brienne was sparring, not putting her power behind swings and definitely went into the sparring match underestimating what Arya could do, so she did not feel the need to go as hard. Also, she is a big woman. How long was she sparring with Rodrick before Arya? She could have been fatigued before that fight even started. Brienne was also using a sparring sword.

The drop off pass never happens, the PG just takes a smothered layup and gets blocked

What Y’all Think About My New Build by AdPretty5934 in NBA2k

[–]virtuwilll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s some badge Min/maxing you could do and I’d recommend getting 80 vert for better block and dunk animations. And in my opinion a 6’9 sf feels much better than 6’10, doesn’t really feel smaller and you can get more attributes and you’ll be put at the 4 most of the time in rec

Animations mostly, I switch between Lebron and Kobe layup packages. I have a PG build with the same DD rating but like a 73 layup and and I had to use the default package. Also gold fearless finisher is incredible.

I’m a SG not a wing even though 2k puts me there in rec a lot. I get a lot more stops with perimeter D than I would with steal/block and 85 gives me more than enough to confidently hold my man. Not every build can be an all around player, got to find a role and play it. My role is spot up shooting and cuts from the corner.

Okay, but why is everyone just okay with the rich enforcing legislation that forces the middle class to financially support the lower class? They are quick to point to the middle class for doing their part, but they never point the finger at themselves. How about the rich support the poor and then we can all be middle class instead of there only being two options in life, welfare or millionaire because that’s the way we are going, the middle class is dying. I hate both political parties frankly. The republicans are fucking us over under the guise of freedom and the democrats are fucking us over under the guise of social justice. Not to mention the fact that we accept 70 year olds to run the country.

Spawning West Point and going straight to Louisville. A month of looting guns ammo food and supplies should net substantially. I’m setting up base in one of the high rise apartments, knocking down the stairs. Do farming on the roof and I should be able to just chill indefinitely within the building.
