Probably needs some manual piloting.

Will increase as the election approaches. Unless the community and mods stay on top of shutting down obvious trolls.

The collusion kind

Stein and West spam will tick back up asap.

lol they can’t vote in US elections at all

Putin’s birthday. Attacking like they did when they did was likely part of Iran’s agreed upon support for Russia in Ukraine. The point being split US weapons shipments and focus away from Ukraine before Russia’s next major offensive.

Because it’s not really true. Those Chinese EVs cost what they do through slave labor and $213 billion in subsidization.

The same people complaining that other carmakers can’t match China’s pricing would be just as mad if say GM did what BYD is doing to have that pricing. First step is kiss the UAW goodbye. Second step is have Congress give GM $30 billion to make EVs. We’d all be rightfully pissed off at that.

Nope. It’s been around a long long time. Gets updated to match current geopolitical risks.

Keep meaning to get around to reading those.

If you did a TV series it could be like True Detective. Each season being a different timeframe. The Taken being the few reoccurring characters. But even then a character like Shifter could be portrayed by multiple actors.

Kid got caught beating his meat in the school library.

Lot of good ones in here. Only idea I can think of is The Black Company. Not specifically to follow Croakers story either. Could be about battles and drama of the past from the annals.

That’s funny because I saw some initial comments made which then started this discussion. And what you’re suggesting was the intent. The issue as they (one of Lemmy’s developers) said was essentially frustration that their echo chamber had been pierced.

The dot above 2014 isn’t labeled. I’d guess it’s about 31.7%. The dot above 2015 is 36.8%. That’s far and away the largest year-over-year change and the jump I’m referring to.

2016 is the peak. But it’s only barely slightly higher than 2015.

Where I live the roads get salted all winter. It’s not uncommon unfortunately for significant portions of cars to be rusted out by that point.

Don’t think so. By 14 we were pretty well out of the 08 mess. Was around when I got my first major career break. Which was nice as one of the millennials that finished college while the economy had gone to shit.

And that Palantir is an MIC contractor. They would have this outlook because it would keep them busy. The reality of such a scenario is far more unrealistic.

The election was 15-16. Spike happened 14-15. Wondering if it was a methodology change to jump that much in 1 year?

Also fuck me but that was already 10 years ago. Was trying to recall if there was maybe some kind of viral social media thing that might have happened in 2014.

4, 5, 6

4 was pretty short lived. Got it very well used already as a college car. Loved it so much though I got a 5 soon as the 4 died. By then was out of college and had new car money. Had the 5 until about 150k miles when it finally wasn’t worth repairing. Found the 6 used for a steal. Only has 80k miles at this point. I drive it maybe twice a week with working from home and traveling for projects. Hoping to pass it off to the kids.

But I keep looking at an Mk7 R for sale nearby. Tempted to go for it. I just also like not having car payments if not needed.

Same. I’ve been holding out hope this doesn’t suck since they teased the concept. Will be my 4th GTI if so. Love the things. They’re the perfect daily driver.
