If the dealer holds the cards, doesn’t that make it a seller’s market, not a buyer’s market?

I had a similar experience with CarMax and I sold two cars through them.  I used their online tool which gave me what I believed were very fair offers and they paid me exactly what the tool listed, no issues.  Could I have done better, maybe, but not without haggling and spending time and effort to do so that I’d…

15% is not a very good tip (and if you said 15-20, then it was 15). If you marked it down because it was physically small, then they were also in the right to mark down their effort.

Where’s option 4: I felt strongly about it for a few minutes but just don’t anymore.

Unlike some of my neighbors, I just don’t cover my lawn in insecticides and fertilizers and there are plenty of dandelions and clover and bees seem to love it. I still mow regularly so it’s still neat by neighbor standards but not so “perfect”.

If it were a HIPAA violation, would that make it inadmissible as evidence?  Once can hope.

Losing weight is not the same thing as being healthy.

I’d like them better if they didn’t always forget to include the salsa!  Happened today.

My daughter has a tree nut allergy.  In grade school one pistachio from a friend put her into anaphylaxis.  The fun with that allergy is every wannabe great teacher would keep her away from peanuts, popcorn, or anything that remotely resembled a nut or a seed.

Wow. They belonged to my parents but I had the fun of driving the Vega, Citation, and Chevette. I actually totaled our Chevette too but I took it down a snowy hill, got briefly airborn and ended up in a drainage ditch in about 3 inches of water and ice. Nobody was hurt but the unibody crumpled so it was done.

And somewhere Elon is smiling at this story.

I think the point he’s trying to make is that Smith had a moment of weakness and if they pray on it together to the magic man in the sky, he’ll regenerate his hit points and be stronger to fight off the devil on his shoulder egging him on next time.  Or something like that.

If you want to do any serious business at all, you need to succumb to Apple’s rules to reach customers. That’s not the same thing as being there “by choice”.  Apple has the upper hand in that relationship and they know and exploit it.

I sold two cars to CarMax. In both cases I was quoted an online price I liked and then given exactly what I was quoted. Could I have sold myself for a bit more? Maybe but not worth my time and hassle. I don’t believe I’d do better at any dealer.  I haven’t bought from them yet since I generally buy new but they seemed…

It won’t be what happens but I agree with you.

If you single out two black women and tell them they don’t know your struggle then yeah, I’d call that vitriol. If I thought I had the best punching-down one-liner ever and looked at the crowd and thought the best people to direct it at are two black women at the top of their game I’d STFU because that would be…

It’s shitty all around. To look down on elite athletes when you’re a fucking director. Yeah, your struggle is real. To make a crack at two black women when you’re a fucking white pale ghost privileged POS, even worse.  And way to make an accomplishment as a woman and use that opportunity to knock other women.  What a…

Translated: they are part of the system.

Is anyone else seriously considering registering R just to fuck up some primaries?

Galaxy’s Edge was never very immersive, in terms of cast members and interactions, honestly. It’s very cool, but it’s still a section of an amusement park everyone spends their day at so there was no way this was going to ever be as immersive as they hyped.
