True. I wish someone had warned me off of used car dealerships.
To add to all your points, maybe one car in 100 is a lemon (has something seriously broken), but 100% of lemons eventually get traded to car dealers for trade-in value.
I feel like the odds of getting a lemon new or private sale aren’t bad. But the odds of getting a lemon on a used car lot skyrocket.
My only (kind of random) thought is that some kids change their names, eventually, to fully express themselves.
So I might be tempted by initials, or something more symbolic, myself.
It isn’t what you were asking, but, I have my son’s footprint from his birth certificate on top of my foot.
Awww! That is both epic and cute at the same time.
I was just thinking about this: more evidence of the Minecraft to Linux self hosting pipeline.
“Did you get the memo? I’ll print you a copy.”
“… maximum setting. I would have been vaporized.”
“It’s my first ray-gun.”
“Captain, I believe I speak for the entire crew when I say, ‘To hell with our orders’”.
“I wasn’t even supposed to be here today!”
“Well, let me finish, Dmitri. Let me finish, Dmitri. Well, listen, how do you think I feel about it? Can you imagine how I feel about it, Dmitri? Why do you think I’m calling you? Just to say hello?”
“You’re out of your element, Donny!”
“Bad horse! Bad horse! He rides across the country - the thoroughbred of crime!”
“A hospital?! What is it?!”
“This is no time to talk about time, we don’t have the time!”
I suspect politics would actually shift a huge minority amount towards “no, don’t kill the planet, my grandchildren live here”.
The billionaire planet killers can afford to buy up and lock down two parties. I doubt they can afford to buy out everyone.
I see one key difference, in social value:
Someone tells me they bought a meaningless knighthood: hearty laugh and a high five.
Someone tells me they’re in MENSA: Awkward silence and maybe a mental note to check how they’re doing more often.
This.
I couldn’t resisit adding a quick low effort comment to emphasize your point. I’ll see myself out.
For the younger folks, who missed the annoyance - it felt like that doughboy was in about 75% of all advertisement minutes, at his peak.
Lots of folks wanted to do more than poke his little CGI belly.
Given time and healing, I no longer loathe that little thing, but this still kind of works for me as surrealist humor.
That’s a tough question. It’s hard to know, because there are so many bot accounts.
The platform providers would like everyone to believe they have 100% solved this, and keep giving them advertising money.
But I feel like the three largest players are also the ones who have done the most to demonstrate general, all around untrustworthiness, recently.
