Inflation isn’t thievery. It’s a penalty for laziness and stupidity for people who think stashing cash in a mattress is a good idea.

That’s called “moving the goal posts” or a “straw man”. Borrowing, by itself, doesn’t make you rich. That is absurd. It is not slavery either, because THAT is also absurd.

All the camera flashes and stage lighting are illuminating everything. There’s no shadows, even inside of her mouth.

1) Buying with cash is asinine. You’re trading interest cost for opportunity cost. 4 years driving a shitty car is not worth the couple grand in financing (and no, going cash does not make a difference. I literally did this last week and played that exact game.)

Actually, yes. If a dealer/carmaker is offering loans with interest lower than the inflation rate (common for new cars) they literally are giving you money, because what you pay them back (seeing as future dollars are worth less than current dollars) with is worth less than what they gave you. That is not slavery.…

Nope. When manufacturers offer sub-2% loans that is free money. Because your dollar 5 years from now is worth less than the dollar you have today. You can either give that future dollar to the bank (in exchange for a dollar today) or watch it shrivel due to inflation while you save up for that car.

Yup. Looking at Honda Finance offers myself right now. 0.9 for the first 5 years if you extend beyond that it’s still only 1.9%.

“Enslavement”? They’re giving you money. That’s literally the opposite of slavery. It’s not even serfdom.

Why are super delegates a thing? Have you seen Donald Trump and how he’s steamrolling the whole Republican party and no one can stop him?

Right, but none of those thing apply to you so the question becomes “why are you trying to bullshit me”?

SSDs are like $60 these days. If that’s the difference between you eating and starving, then you need to do a lot more reflecting.

It’s 2016, if you’re not booting from an SSD, you need to reevaluate your life. Which, you should have plenty of time to do, since you’re gonna be sitting there doing nothing while your cheap ass laptop takes 45 seconds to 3 minutes to boot up.

No...but if you read the 5 part series from the NY Times on how corporations use arbitration clauses to get out of class actions, you realize that “wrong” starts to loose its normal meaning.

It’s a trial court, so yes. Appeals court is the next level up, though NY has a weird name for that level too. See below. NY has a true supreme court above that, but they call it the Court of Appeals.

Eh...never ask that question straight. You CAN use it as a joke. Using it or a variation of it “So I start now, right? Where’s my desk? haha Just kidding” is a great way to fill what would otherwise be an awkward pause while you think of actual questions to ask your interviewer.

you can’t make anyone change.

Achievements are only secondarily relevant to your salary, at best. The only thing that matters is what the market will pay for your skills. If your employer won’t pay that now, they either need to give you a clear road map to getting there (get X cert/metric/whatev, get Y raise), or leave. And if they even *suggest*…

You called me out, got checked, and like a true jackass, try to attack me instead of keeping on topic. You lost that one and no amount of your ad hominem bullshit is going to change that.

Quite familiar. The Hood wasn’t a battleship (and, like all pre-1930 capital ships had particularly poor deck armor and thus was especially bad with plunging shells from long range fire), and was sunk when it went toe to toe with one...at range even.

Sorry guy. I’ve had like 10 people misquote/misunderstand that post already, both here and elsewhere. Stomping out misconception before it becomes Internet Truth is tiring and that makes one curt in their responses.
