The TV one is real. Without the remote the TV has one button. Hitting it turns it on if it’s off. When it’s on, hitting it brings up a menu, tap to what you want then hold it down to select it. Even turning it off is super annoying, but trying to do anything else is damn near impossible.

Are you only considering buying new? A ‘23 Chevy Bolt from carvana is about $16k

Is this not the Chevy Bolt? Sure productions been on hiatus, but a late model used one is a pretty good price.

Make a new law that a corporation cannot own single family homes and individuals cannot own more than two single family homes, condos, or cabins and the housing issue is solved. People can still have a vacation home, or a single rental property, a few for a married couple, but they don’t get to own 50 homes anymore unless they want to run an apartment complex. I do think there is societal value in rentable single family homes, but it’s gone too far.

Give them one year to divest, and start charging a tax if they don’t that starts at 25% of the homes assessed value, and raises 25% every year thereafter.

The only fact provided is that you were AMAB. Obviously this is limiting your dating pool, but so would many other immediate physical attributes. I will bet that in some cases you found guys that were trying to be open to it, but after a few dates figured out they weren’t as open to it as they thought.

Beyond that, what kind of conversations are you having? Are you finding shared interests? Are you sensing a spark that fades before it can catch fire? What kind of dates are you going on? Is there any personality clicking at all?

Point Of Sale, a generic term for everything that functions these days as a cash register did in the last. Typically has to be computerized to be a POS

MDM, mobile device management. What corps do to keep people from doing things to devices that the corp doesn’t want done. Company issued mobile phones might use this, but so would a POS company since they wouldn’t want people installing games on a cash register.

Keep an eye on Telo and Slate. Maybe electric doesn’t suit your needs, but both of these companies are intending to bring back small trucks. Being electric they don’t have to play games with emission standards loopholes that basically killed the old Ranger and S10 lines. It stinks that none of the current electric truck offerings went small, but there’s hope for future small trucks.

They don’t really enforce profile pics anymore for riders. That might need to change if this is going to be successful.

Can probably still run doom

They just need enough time to fabricate some evidence or lose some or come up with another lie, or another distraction. We’ll probably forget about the pedophilia when we get sucked in to WW3 and they reinstate the draft.

An “and” before the last item tells you it’s an inclusive list. An “or” before the last item tells you it’s a pick one. A “nor” tells you it wasn’t any of those. It’s word to wait to the last item to know what the list was, but English is a screwed up language.

The US is fucked in the work contract part. Very few jobs can expect notice before being let go for layoffs. We can be fired for made up reasons. Sure I can show a history of income, but there’s very little guarantee of future income.

The previous generation(s) gave up on labor power and we’re stuck with what we have now.

Likely, I get them confused.

Terry Pratchet wrote in Good Omens that the apocalypse horsemen Pestilence was slain by the advent of penicillin.

From my own head:

Mercury was killed to bring about the Internet.

Athena was not killed, but severely weakened to domesticate the herd animals.

We sacrificed Fenris for lap dogs.

I love this thread and will be working some of this into my next RPG storyline.

Also WoD:

Player: I’m a mage I’m literally changing reality, I will cure that vampire.

System: vampirism is a curse from God, do you really think you can roll more successes than God?

They used them all up

Prescott gets messed up more often, but Avondale is a trap also. I couldn’t figure out what someone meant when they pronounced Avondale like it started with the name of the MLM cosmetic company.

The market comparison is important. It outsold the EV Silverado by about 1000 and was outsold by the F150 EV by about 1000 units. The market cooled on all electric trucks, probably due to price and current economic conditions.

Bring on more EV motorcycles. Give me one that looks like a classic touring bike please. I want an electric motorcycle, not a cyberpunk cosplay.

Credit cards caught on to this around 2010 or so. That’s why balance transfers always have a fee now. You could do this with either balance transfers or cash advances, both of which have fees now. So you’ll end up increasing the balance by 3% each month.
