If Elon were like that SpaceX wouldn’t exist.

True, but that kind of gain would only be short term. If that was their plan I’d think they’d have sold off all the bitcoin after the wave of Tesla stans inflated the value for them.

I can’t wait to hear how they’re manipulating US currency by accepting it.

“Skunk with head stuck in milkshake cup” is my spirit animal.

Paying in cash is usually stupid, having it as an option to cudgel the loan people with is nice though.

My insurance covering uninsured drivers means I’m still paying for their mistake. That isn’t an excuse to drive around without insurance.

I don’t want to punish them for being poor, I want to punish them for breaking the law. Just like I’d be punished for breaking the same law. If we aren’t going to punish people for breaking it because we think the punishment is worse than the crime, repeal the law.

It sucks, but how else do you punish them?

So this is a good idea, but since Riot is implementing it we have to assume it’s actually going to make the problem worse somehow. LoL is still a cesspool (always has been) and that only has text chat which is theoretically WAY easier to moderate, I don’t have much faith that Riot is gonna get it right.

You better believe it aces that test, although ideally you’d just park in the fire lane since you’ll only be a few minutes and parking next to other cars is for poor people.

Counterpoint: This is the best SUV for doing what SUVs are actually used for, which is tailgating people on your way to the mall. Since this is a 1-of-1 BMW with a V12 in it it also satisfies the “I’m way wealthier than you” criteria.

But not enough shame to avoid putting Ranch on them.

2JZ swap?

Yeah, I was mostly pointing out that when buying a bike, most people don’t haggle or finance or anything. They pay full asking price and it just shows up.

If you’re willing to pay the asking price in cash, this is actually pretty easy with a car too.

I get the beef with Tesla, and I get not liking Elon Musk on a personal level.

This works if only Tesla drivers get affected, which isn’t true. Everyone on the road gets to be part of the beta test, many of us didn’t sign up for it and don’t want our lives at risk so you can play with your new, poorly designed toy.

Florida Man doesn’t see color.

It’s a bad shoot from what we know, but this isn’t a good argument. The US Marshals exist explicitly because people with warrants run and aren’t easy to find.

That is true, there are tradeoffs. I can say that my Mk7 has been remarkably problem free, the only problems it’s had in the ~55k miles I’ve had it were due to modifications I made or because rabbits ate some wiring.
