Once again, Republicans prove that “it’s not a gun violence crisis, it’s a mental health crisis!” is a completely disingenuous argument and that they’re really just a-ok with senseless, preventable deaths.

State income taxes and a couple feet of snow in the winter don’t look quite so scary in comparison now, do they?

The thing about the student loan forgiveness situation is that very few people/entities have any legal standing as being wronged by the decision to actually bring suit against it. And a couple of the biggest student loan servicers (who are one of the very few groups that might actually have some legal standing to say…

It looks nice enough, I guess. But I’m good for this cycle. I have a 13, and have yet to run into any situation that made me feel like it was in any way underpowered for what I need it for. Honestly, I had yet to find a way to tax my 12 other than that the battery life on 5G all day was only so-so; I really only…

That’s a trick question.  The biggest crime would be selling slideshows about cucumbers for $48. 

Hey, now…state colleges can still be (comparatively) damn expensive, too - especially if you didn’t see much of an income bump from your education. I’ve been chasing the same $20k I borrowed to finish my degree at a state school in circles for the better part of 20 years, and I’ve still got a few years left before…

Yeah, it’s an unpleasant time to buy a car. My older daughter is getting her driver’s license soon, and I’m sick of chauffeuring her around for all of her school, band and sports functions, so I want her to have some transportation. But finding anything decent that falls solidly in the “cash car” category at this…

You can get a new VW ID.4 for about $40k. Not exactly cheap, but certainly not unreasonable for a mass production EV that has a 250 mile range that can comfortably sit 4 adults with plenty of trunk space.

I’m willing to bet most of those people are just as unproductive back at the office as they were at home. They just seem busier because they’re more visible again.

I guess it depends on your industry. I get that certain creative endeavors may suffer in a pure WFH environment, but for me in a back office financial services capacity? It’s been a 100% winning situation. I mean, it was largely remote before the pandemic; my team was spread across multiple time zones already. My…

Or, it’s a ploy to force the DOJ to show their hand early and get the media to cover it so that they can claim he “can’t get a fair trial” because of the media circus around it all. 

It’s a machine for installing tires on rims.

Man, I loved my 2012 Fit. Handled well, easy to park, huge cargo area with the back seat folded down, just enough power to get out of trouble (without so much that I was ever tempted to intentionally get into trouble).

It’s a step in the right direction, but car buying is still a miserable process at this point. It’s never been a walk in the park, but it’s exponentially worse now than in the before times.

Yeah, now that Hyundai/Kia is making objectively decent cars, why do their dealerships still make you feel like you’re about to get gauged at a Rent-A-Center in a bad part of town?

This! I’ve resigned myself to most of the quirks of iOS, but I still hate that you can’t set various audio functions to different volume levels. Like, sometimes I want to hear the phone ring or get text chimes without also getting every random, obnoxious notification noise.

It’s called “buying a new CarPlay/Android Auto capable head unit for your old car’s stereo system”.

Turns out they would have been better off putting their money into Celsius the energy drink than Celsius the crypto platform.

You’re not wrong about the timeframe. This crisis has been brewing for 40 years. But a lot of the student loan crisis in on Biden…albeit as a senator and not as the president. Don’t forget: Joe’s been active in DC since the freakin’ 70s.

Yeah…refusing to talk to the cops, period, is solid advice to keep from having your words twisted against you in court later. But it’s also a great way to have an otherwise minor situation escalate out of control very quickly when Officer Friendly interprets not wanting to inadvertently self-incriminate as being…
