  • More Than 1 in 5 New Car Buyers in the U.S. Are Taking Out Loans of 84 Months or Longer

  • Ok?

    In the post I replied to you said you can't find used cars for less than 10k.

    Now you're saying people are too time/money poor to buy a $1k car, which is true for some, but that's way different than your last point.

    At some point you're too poor to buy a car, and that sucks. Not sure how cheap people expect a 2000lb hunk of engineered metal, glass, and a combustion engine that can propel you 300 miles should be, but I think $1k is cheap for that and it sucks if you can't buy it. Either way.

    But sitting here and complaining that the cheapest car you can find is $10k in your area is dumb, because what that tells me is all you're doing is going to look at nice stuff at carvana or CarMax.

  • Craigslist. Local auction. Random crap for sale at the curb in neighborhoods.

  • I guarantee you can go on Craigslist for your area right now and find cars that run for like $1k or less.

    Probably all hoopdie ass shitboxes, but wait a couple months and keep an eye and you'll find something that runs from the 2000s that's not a total piece of shit for like $3k, with around 300-350k miles.

    Are they great? No. Cheap as hell to insure? Yes. Cost the same price as 5 months of a car payment, and last for years with basic maintenance costs and worse gas mileage? Very likely yes.

  • What’s your most controversial opinion?

  • I agree that it's more efficient to reduce the amount of new waste from entering waterways than to remove what's already there, but at this point we need to do both.

    Getting it out of the oceans is just more expensive, ton for ton.

  • Non native English speakers really struggle with at, on, and in. Don't feel bad for being confused it's super, super common, and most non native speakers will struggle with this no matter how fluent they become.

    For general example, if somebody is sitting inside an airplane, you can say they're on the plane, or they're in the plane. You could also say they're at the plane, but that's really only used in certain contexts.

    In the context you're asking about, "at the port" at and in are synonymous, essentially. The article isn't specific enough so it's reasonable to assume that somewhere within the port's boundary area, fence line perhaps, there was a temporary facility that was bombed.

    Since they used the term "at" though, it COULD mean that it was directly outside the port boundaries. Like right outside the fence, perhaps.

    Sorry. Not sure if any of this helps.

  • Until ads are responsible and don't carry risks of injecting malware and trackers, I will block them without prejudice.

    Even back in the day they would try to hijack your browser, redirect you to some random page, destroy ability of your back button to take you out, and throw up a ton of popups.

    I don't think blocking them is an asshole move until ads are served responsibly, without threatening my security or privacy. When, and if, that day ever arrives I will stop blocking them because I understand that most sites subsist solely off ad revenue, at least in this current Internet model we live with.

  • Honestly? Without evidence, they're both equally probable. And believing, or refusing to believe in a god or something, are both faith of equal measure.

    It's just whether someone thinks their version is faith is more realistic than the opposite.

    Fucking BEANS is the answer

    And onion, garlic, tomato, Bell pepper

    But LOTS OF BEANS is the most correct answer

  • Not who you're replying to, but I carry a good flashlight for use when it's light, not when it's dark.

    Dropping something small on the carpet or a floor in a lit room can still be super hard to find, but take a bright beam and shine it sideways and you'll catch the shadow immediately (just an example)

    It's crazy how much I use it. Super underrated tool.

  • Why do they only put that little dab of roasted red pepper in the middle of hummus at the stores? That shit should be half the container.

    Jump

  • I make my own and hate store bought. That's not the point.

    "Hummus SHOULD be like this and NOT like that."

    Cool if you like traditional or if that's your preference or whatever... But people can put olive oil or peppers or beans or whatever they want.

  • You don't NEED tap to pay. I literally never use it, ever, unless I have a card with a bad chip (happened once).

    Forgetting your wallet like a dummy doesn't mean you NEED tap to pay, it means you need to remember to bring your wallet.

    Also, there is nothing you NEED the Costco app for, an org like that can't lock things behind an app to function because their customer base is too broad, they will inevitably have old people with T9 Nokia bricks still. It might have been the most convenient way to achieve it, but it's not a requirement - even if that particular sales associate didn't know how and would have to phone a friend.

    All that to say I'm not trying to convince you to use gOS; I fully recognize that security is on one end of the spectrum from convenience, and we all choose where we want to be on that spectrum. But I felt the need to counter your claims.... Nobody NEEDS tap to pay smh. If you care about privacy at all you wouldn't be linking cards to apple or Google, adding yet another layer of giant data collection to some of your most intimate data.

  • I don't think you realize what you're wishing for, which is ok if you didn't live through it as an adult, but the 2008 housing crash was so much more devastating than you probably realize.

    So, so many lives wrecked.

    I want to see more housing inventory come to market and see some price corrections for sure, but the scale of crash you're talking about wishing for, the only reason you could possibly desire it is from stark naivete of a young person who doesn't understand the scale of the disaster you're advocating for.

    We need more housing inventory, less NIMBY blocking it, and stiff taxes on investment homes that disincentivize people or companies from owning tons of homes.

    We want a market correction, not a crash. They're different.

    Rejecting Decades of Science, US Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, do you know how many people opt not to get them? USA has a growing prevalence of vaccine hesitancy/anti science that gets concentrated amongst regions/social groups. It's an issue IMO because you get areas with low herd immunity, but if we didn't have that problem and the vast majority of people were on board then having them be voluntary wouldn't be an issue to me. In the current state of affairs I think it's too dangerous to have them be voluntary in the USA.
