Every country gets the leader it deserves...

70% of the weaponry and most of the dollars used to slaughter Palestinians (and Lebanese) comes from America. It’s not “lack of enforcement”, this is 100% Biden and Harris’ genocide. When Israel bombs a hospital, it is with an American bomb delivered from an American fighter jet, under the protection of an American…

I don’t think they’ll intentionally crater anything. They believe that whatever they feel like doing is the right thing for the economy.

Nice to see someone actually thinking, rather than merely coming up with cool renders. I will take a crappy render and a good idea over the opposite any day.

She has fully backed an ongoing genocide for over 400 days. Nearly all of the weapons and money used to murder hundreds of thousands of people come directly from the USA, not to mention unlimited political support, blocking countless UN resolutions, and threatening the ICJ. Harris and Biden have made bombing hospitals…

Funny, I don’t really see living in a fascist hellscape as a reason to pollute more. I also don’t litter just because the street is already dirty.

Yeah, but then I won’t be able to hide my disdain later, when I am manning a bake sale booth next to that particular parent.

Although I think that was never fully the case - it was always Fit, as far as I know - which is transliterated as fitto (フィット) in Japanese. That may have been the reason people reported “Fitta” being the name, and it is close enough to make Swedish school kids giggle.

My kid is in school in Queens; this is absolutely 100% the parents’ fault. There is rarely any need to drive your kids in the first place: https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/research-alliance/research/spotlight-nyc-schools/how-far-do-nyc-students-travel-get-school

I paid a deposit of 30 Euros for this guy who makes small series of handbuilt 1/87 scale cars (Makette), he is planning to build a 300-example run of the Maserati Quattroporte II but it seems like it will be cancelled as he only has 33 orders right now. I also pre-paid 110 Euros for some Italian guy to build me a…

Fart means speed in Swedish.

You’ll like how the French pronounce MR2 - Toyota sold it as the MR Coupé there, IIRC.

On the other hand, he had $1,800 in his pocket - he could easily have gotten a beater; $300 a month would have covered all sorts of potential repairs and uber rides. He could’ve gotten himself a scooter as a backup after a year or two.

It’s a quick lesson in how interest works:

Same - but I couldn’t think of a way to ask without seeming like a websnark, so I just stayed quiet. I think you did good, but only the OP can tell us how you made them feel.

How do we know they still build them? I think they have three years’ worth of stock on hand and are selling them off at a trickle.

Well, a couple making $160K a year probably deosn’t have a lot of padding, but someone making $500K would theoretically have an extra $340K of spending money. Except this dude likely had pretty high baseline expenses. Sounds like the kind of person paying $10K a month in rent.

Or he could have bought a 60s Maserati 3500 or Sebring, and a lightly used Lexus LS, and have no debt and two nice cars.

Yeah - trading it in for a Corvette is much, much sadder than trading it for a Mirage. Don’t try to fake it.
