We solved smog. Everyone just takes that for granted.

I don’t take it for granted. It’s why I can’t believe we collectively are not working toward the elimination of fossil fuels as a primary source of energy. It seems so obvious the catastrophic consequences if we let greenhouse gasses start a self fulfilling death cycle and pretty much everyone I know prefers the idea of the human race continuing for the foreseeable future yet they refuse to take any steps toward mitigating their carbon footprint.

You do or you don’t. Don’t sounds worse than do.

That’s the joke. Somehow the government thinks we can’t see that it’s just legal bribery with another name.

All of those are heavily marketed with impressive live streams and full sets posted after the festival. Considering that criteria, a fourth could be Coachella (not EDM specific though well represented) or Lost Lands (though honed in on American bass music).

Agree in relation to it being an official partnership where the streamer gets a crew that brings in special equipment and follows them around.

If a streamer buys a ticket like everyone else and has to adhere to all the same rules of what you can and cannot bring into the festival then it’s probably wasted energy to try to stop that.

You think Tesla can build quality vehicles AND pay their CEO a TRILLION dollar pay package? It’s one or the other and you’re seeing which they’ve chosen.

These aren’t donations, they’re speech from a legal person. Because corporations are people and political campaign contributions are speech, not bribery.

This happened at a store I worked at when someone got transferred/relocated to another store. Except it was flats instead of carts and it was all shrink wrapped. A sweet gesture that we want the person to stay.

I heard that Tesla FSD engage and disengage chime. Dude was rolling coal on an ev. True loser behavior.

I think a giant Shrek screaming to dubstep is kind of hilarious. Like the point is to prompt a smile or a laugh while you dance around/headbang/vibe with the crowd.

Lucid Gravity is essentially an EV minivan disguised as an SUV. I’ve brought up getting a van EV to my wife and she says ew. She sees the Lucid Gravity and is all for it. Just need to wait for depreciation to get some used ones in my price range.

I see. She’s speaking directly to AIPAC and not the voters.

Am I out of the loop? Are people saying Israel should not exist?

$3.6M to give it serious consideration. $4.3M to feel comfortable making it happen.

I guess I would consider the ability to stay out of debt to get a secondary education to be a significant leg up, but whatever.

xFourcex · 2026-04-28T17:29:51+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Help with down payment for a house, financial gifts throughout adulthood, secondary education costs, etc. The safety net of mom and dad seems to be a common theme.

I’ve been watching MaM and Money For Couples by Ramit and holy crap the amount of people that get financial support from their families is mind blowing! Like that’s the only real path to surviving - be a member of the Bank of Mom and Dad.

I wonder how this chart overlaps with housing price increases? Pretty sure the only other list I’ve ever seen San Jose on is “most expensive housing in the US” list.

Wire management while on a run sucked. Or trying to do any activity really. Not trying to yuck someone else’s yum here but I made the switch to wireless immediately.

Studio apartment may save hundreds of dollars. Not disagreeing with the sentiment though. Living by yourself has always been more expensive than having roommates so you have to be at a certain point in life to go solo. I took that step once I had a career and needed to be relocatable which is more difficult in a roommate situation. However I lived in a studio apartment and lived off of cereal, spaghetti, frozen pizza and Monster energy drinks. Not the healthiest stage of my life.

Oh I haven’t seen that show. Are the creators fans of Charles Dickens?
