And just as with Apple, there are just as many irrational haters around as fanboy apologists. If your argument goes something like, “I don’t like X brand because I dislike the fanboys of that brand.” Then you are just as guilty as the fanboys.

There’s a reason Tesla can’t go for the Nürburgring lap record. They’d have to fly two dozen cars out there because each car would only be good for one lap before it needs to take a nap to cool off and recharge for half a day.

D’oh you’re right, my index funds are earning about half that. Overall my portfolio did 16% over that timeframe but it wasn’t all index funds, I also actively traded stocks.

Here’s a math breakdown using Jay’s example:

1999 Price: $800,000
2019 Value: $17,500,000

Sorry to stereotype, but that is exactly what I imagine all Dodge Demon owners are like.

Tomi Lahren has way more warped and stupid tweets than this one. Take this one, for instance:

You know what would have prevented these deaths? A call from the daycare center, asking, “Hey when are you bringing those twins in?”

Reparations will never happen for African Americans, because there are three obvious questions that nobody has provided detailed answers to. If there are answers to these, can someone please link me?

1) How do we determine who gets reparations?
Example details: Do reparations apply to all African Americans? Do slave…

I really like the baby bonds idea, with one exception. I don’t think the recipients should be required to keep their bond money in the U.S. Treasury at only 3% interest. It would be better to allow people to take half as much money, and have the freedom to invest that money immediately in public markets. Basically it…

It’s not that people don’t understand atrocities occurred, it’s that nobody knows how to calculate the damages. How will we calculate who gets reparations? How much will it cost? How will it be paid for? Can anyone provide answers or give me a link to research these answers? Thanks!

I think what Beto meant to say is that HE doesn’t understand the points and counterpoints to the topic of reparations. Bernie’s answer, while maybe unpopular on this website is at least informed.

Thank you for bringing back rationality to this conversation.

I thought the article made a pretty good case for why Sudan is a shithole.

I like these, for the same reason I like it when people use bumper stickers. It’s a quick way for me to identify people I should avoid talking to.

Ha ha I love the last lines of this article! Yeah the antagonizing asshole shouldn’t get off on a misdemeanor. He deserves to get the maximum sentence for a hate crime assault.

Tires will still be a consumable, but with tweels, consumers won’t need to care about tire “care” aka checking & filling air levels, and patching holes. Just like brake pads, tires will either be fine, or ready to replace due to treadwear.

We all have smartphones amiright? Now let’s just plug our state of the art phone into the dashboard and use that as our “big ass screen.” Now the problem of obsolescence is no longer an issue. Upgrade your phone every 6 months? Now your car’s infotainment gets upgraded along with it.

Granted, the user experience on these devices has historically been trash. I wasn’t trying to compare software with physical buttons, but rather the complaints about how it looks in the cabin.

Trouble is, the most common complaints I’ve heard about the big ass screen trend, is that it “looks out of place” and is “complex.” This is clearly hypocritical when you compare the average car, with its dozens of physical buttons strewn about the cabin. Clearly the difference here isn’t one of opinion, but one of…
