Dude, I don't give a righteous fuck if someone doesn't want a car at all.
Give it up yourself.
Give it up yourself.
Thank you for the response with the exact level of pedanticness I would have gone for personally. You saved me some time.
I live in NC, citation please?
Oh, man.... whoosh!
Maybe I should start submitting articles to the Onion.
Nah - should've given him the citation

Please folks, this is my warped sense of humor, it isn't even sarcasm just silliness
yeah, that will not happen.
Likewise, I'm trying to imagine coders using the shoes people wear, the purses and Italian suits, and the font on their resume as job qualifications.
Really, IT anf HR are just about opposite ends of the spectrum of human interests.
No you were just unclear to people who don't know what it is.
Just trying to get slashdotters to expand their horizon.

This is just he exception that proves the rule.
It's when you find TWO exceptions, that you should start to worry about the rule itself...
Only if they can pass a DNA test.

Hey, if you like to define yourself by your car, that's cool.
Where did you get that idea? I define myself by my mind. You are the one projecting something on me. Don't do that.
For myself, the car is a box that goes from place to place. I spend my money on things that actually make me happy, not the box that I use to get there.
A car is a material thing. It does not make me either happy, or sad. You are projecting again, trying to define people by your own prejudices. I buy my vehicles by the purpose I use them for. Which tends to put me in Jeeps.
If I don't buy a new car every 3 years, that's a good quarter million dollars over twenty years that I can spend on housing, travel, cultural events, hobbies, whatever.
Far be it from me to try to dictate what you spend your money on. I also travel, attend cultural events, and have hobbies. It isn't an either/or situation, unless you are living at the sharp edge of your finances.
But if you think it's better to have a nice box, it's your money. The car companies certainly spend a lot of money trying to convince people that the box really is the most important thing in life.
Jesus man, did a mechanic abuse you when you were little? Your attitude about cars is way over the top, beyond any rational thought process. I like nice vehicles, I like nice hobbies, I like classical music, I can't stand Opera. If you like the stuff you spend money on, even Opera - then great.
"Technically legal" is too low a standard. An attorney can lose his license for any number of violations of ethics, not just of the law.
Lawyer ethics. there's an oxymoron for you.
Why on earth would someone want to spend a ton of money on a car? Who cares what the thing that moves you from place to place looks like? (Apparantly, the answer is "shallow old people".)
Because we have the money? Which comes from saving the money, which then gives you more omney in the end.
Besides, way too many computer typs have been inculcated with the race to the bottom financial ethics, where the most important thing is the utter cheapness of anything. I recall a local flame ware that almost came to violence when two geeks were arguing over a five cent difference in price. Not everyone wants to live like that.
Even so, it's pretty hilarious that older people are being called shallow, given this is the age of millenial self absorption, and instagramming one's lunch.
Have you posted your selfies lately?
But if we are the product, can we sue for our share of the payout?
Since only coprorations are now people and people are not people, we'll all have to form little corporations of course, in order ot get our due.
The state government is saying that the federal government has no right to interfere with the state's right to interfere with local government.
Which is true. See my post above for a full explanation.
North Carolina legislature has just passed a law that all RF generated in North Carolina, must by law, stay in North Carolina, and none generated outside may pass into North Carolina.
There is a lawsuit pending against the laws of Physics. DEbates are schedule with Bill Nye the Science guy and the IEEE. Phlogiston theory accounts for this, and is the actual truth, not this godless radio physics not to be owned communist stuff. so we must teach the controversy.
Utter bullshit. The welfare of the citizens affected is not really a consideration to anyone with a dog in this fight. Let's get that part right, at least. You don't piss off the industry who paid for your last election, be that for local, state, or federal office.
