So a substance that literally alters your brain chemistry isn’t actually altering anything. Laws and social norms are the real brain altering things and alcohol just makes someone their truest self. You have clearly never had a single negative thought about anyone ever. Nor have you ever been tempted to do a single…

That’s almost everyone all the time. People are constantly thinking negative things about others or tempted to do something wrong, but a fully function brain reminds us of the consequences or that we shouldn’t be an asshole. Kids can be cruel because they haven’t gone through the social development to learn that it’s…

I don’t even want a rental from them anymore, just to be sure I don’t have deal with the inconvenience of someone smashing the window to see if they can steal it. On top of the awful security, they did everything they could to fight doing anything about it until basically every AG in the country sued them.

That last part has always annoyed me. It’s okay to be mad at people for their drunken antics, considering most people choose to be drunk. However, the concept that someone is just a more authentic version of themselves because they are consuming a literal brain altering substance just seems like one of those stupid…

From what I’ve read China LOVED Buick, so it was just a matter of selling them here too because they keep making them. Idk if those sales are still justifying their existence, so I won’t be shocked when Buick gets axed eventually. GM did also announce that Buick will be full BEV by like 2030, so maybe that is what…

There are other apps that already exist to give recipes or make meals using a list of ingredients input by the user. This just looks like another of those, but makes sure to include “AI” in the press release. 

The only value I’ve gotten from Panera in probably 5+ years was when they started that coffee subscription, but the first 3 months were free. Once that free cycle ended, Panera went back to the place I’d forget exists until I’m hungry and see one, then look at the menu, only to see the cost and remember why I stopped…

This. One of my nearby grocery stores pretty much stopped using cashiers (despite still having the registers) so my household just stopped going there. I think Bill Burr sums self-checkout the best.

IMO, the Buick’s look better than the Chevy’s and I would prefer one of those, having shopped the 3 row market much of last year. However, you are correct that you can effectively option a Chevy to match the partner Buick, much like you can with GMC. I suppose Buick is a bit more bubbly/elegant, Chevy is boxy,…

While true, I’d definitely pick East Peoria/Morton over those others. Unless you go to/work at U of I, Champaign is kind of a shithole. Decatur isn’t called the Dirty D because of how pleasant it is there. That Springfield stretch always feels a lot longer than an hour, and could be much more, if you actually live in…

I’m surprised it’s not more common in big cities. The theaters around me have been doing this for years. It’s especially common to do daytime weekday showings for kid’s movies.

That’s what people did back when it was the Mitsubishi plant. Regularly driving the 45 minutes between any of those towns in Central IL is pretty standard for a lot of people around there.

Ford better use Jason Mamoa in biker gear as the celebrity for it

As much fun as it would be to have a bunch of little LUV trucks poking about, I expect they’d be more likely to reuse the good old S-10/Sonoma names and then basing it on the current Blazer platform. However, going full tilt and getting us a LUV Cyclone might just be what makes it #1.

I’d be pretty okay wrecking the impacts corporate IP has had on art, but I’m sure there could be plenty of issues with that. 

Do you genuinely believe that a product which every major manufacturer has invested many billions into, built entire factories dedicated to it, done so on a global scale, and has seen consistent annual growth will suddenly get pushed to the side like some kind of fad? 

Perhaps a clause that if a project makes it so far into production and the company cans it, then that feature becomes public domain for anyone to pick up that chooses? The product doesn’t necessarily get released as is, but any other producer can scoop it up to complete. 

I think my company gets around this with the standard question of something like “will we need to sponsor your visa now or in the future?” and if they say no, that’s good enough. I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of asylum seekers don’t know these rules either and think they need a visa or something to work somewhere…

Who do you think is funding their campaigns?

Saudi Arabia took Aramco public, cashed out huge, and now have billions dispersed in global investments. They still make tons of money fromthe profits and it certainly establishes the local economy, but they already got out of that game. I’d bet nearly every product that we all use daily is tied to the Saudi wealth…
