Well by being a Democrat I can vote for candidates in both primaries and general elections that will support undoing some of these reforms and they might get elected whereas you can choose to put support towards accomplishing nothing and blame everyone else.

Also if you supported Jill Stein, well, you're obviously a multiple recipient of these.

I think it's helpful to point out that bikes often use wet clutches, which work and feel different to the dry clutches used in cars. I'm not sure the average person would understand how important a good clutch is to the usability of a vehicle, and wet clutches on bikes are much nicer to use than those in cars.

In 25 years people will still be collecting and riding their old ICE bikes -- the old electric versions will probably be inoperable due to software lockouts that prevent repair and various other proprietary tomfoolery. Even as a tech enthusiast, I'm loathe to accept that new stuff is superior in usability, let alone utility.

I've driven manual car transmissions my whole life, and I can't stand automatics. I hate the "hill-holder" behavior and the fact the car just lunges forward on its own when I don't push the accelerator. Automatics behave this way because of how torque converters work. Now that electric cars are becoming common, by default they mimic the behavior of torque converters because that's what most people expect. We can program electric cars to behave like a manual, but from what I gather, many manufacturers don't give you that option because "innovation" or something. If I can't configure an electric car to work like a ICE manual, which actually makes sense, then I don't want to drive it.

Yes, choice it what we need. If you don't like a feature, then just don't use it.

Or just regular sports betting. The silly stuff gets all the press but in reality it's all just a sports betting platform. It was just a stupid way to get around state regulations using the current incredibly corrupt national government.

It's just up to various forms of insider information. Not trading because this isn't trades this is gambling.

The new Harleys have a feature that randomly dumps oil on the ground to mimic the classic HD experience.

And the supreme Court is completely corrupt. So no attorney general is going to want to risk anything getting anywhere near the supreme Court because you never know when those corrupt assholes are just going to rule that states cannot Levy fines at all.

Basically right now and for the foreseeable future it is open season on consumers. Keep an eye on any elderly relatives you have that you care enough about to potentially be forced to bail out.

Well Republicans have spent the last 40 years divesting it away, sabotaging and underfunding it in an effort to show how incapable it is and turn public sentiment against it and yet it still has been able to maintain a high level of service.

1941 to 1990

You mean 1939?

Oh yeah wait a mo America only "came to its allies aid" after being attacked. That my man is not being a reliable ally, that's being purely self interested.

Maybe, or maybe not. Prior to Hitler's becoming chancellor in 1933, the NSDAP had a minority of seats in the German parliament, having actually dropped in seat count from the previous election, and they had only 33% of the popular vote.

History doesn't repeat exactly, but we can't be complacent.

Will tell you that there really isn't any growing demand except for Elon musk's own companies wanting to launch more satellites for satellite internet that itself has pretty much maxed out the number of potential users because there's only so many people who don't have access to wired high-speed internet and can afford $100 a month for high-speed internet...

This is hype and people buying in because they are anticipating a bunch of people who can't get in on SpaceX IPOs and are going to want to just buy something related to space.

YouTuber Patrick Boyle has a pretty good video explaining all of this in detail and explaining why the SpaceX IPO is a giant scam that's going to hit the economy like a truck. Most notably the rules of the NASDAQ were changed to allow all sorts of nasty little shenanigans and because of the size of the IPO it basically forces fund managers to buy into it because of how large a percentage of the NASDAQ it becomes.

I don't even know emotionally or intellectually how to process just how bad all this is going to be when it comes down on our heads. And we all know it always comes down on our heads and not the heads of the billionaire Epstein class assholes who made all this happen...

Well every single time I thought of moving down to the US it was a job in a big center that would require lots of driving and/or train riding. Did you start at over $150k? I don't know why those companies don't advertise more, specifically to Canadians.

US hasn't been a reliable ally to anyone sans maybe Israel in decades.

When has the US been a reliable ally?

Can it? It needs manually dexterity and sub-millimeter precise spatial positioning.

Oh COMPANIES have held their hands out for sure. But those aren't Americans. Those are companies.
