Presumably anything you’d agree to while buying from an independent dealer would be between you and the dealer, not you and the manufacturer, right? I don’t understand how the manufacturer would be a party to the transaction.
(It might be that I’m naive about how modern car sales work.)
Hence the “…with a problem” part.
Whoops, I really meant “devrais.”
Lego vehicles from the toy store will outlast this shitshow.
To be fair, those would outlast Toyotas, too.
Why would someone own 8 vehicles?
Because he’s a car enthusiast with a problem.
(Source: I own six.)
Je devrais demeneger a Montreal.
Wow, I never thought I’d find an actual good argument for keeping independent car dealers as middlemen instead of allowing first-party sales, but here we are.
Okay, I’ll explain it clearly for the incels among us:
Asking a woman out once is perfectly fine*. It also might be okay to try again after a while if she said “no” that first time, if your relationship evolves and circumstances change.
When it becomes harassment is when you refuse to take “no” for an answer and do it repeatedly with no legitimate reason to believe that she changed her mind.
(* Assuming there isn’t something like a power imbalance going on, in which case you either never ask or you resign from your position of power over her before asking.)
That’s beside the point. If you understand why it’s not okay to make racist or otherwise-bigoted jokes, you should understand why this sort of humor perpetuating the normalization of harassment isn’t a great idea either.
“Ha ha funny harassment amirite?”
The Dominion war was about the Founders trying to eliminate any threat to their status as the ruling class.
Haha yt-dlp go brrrrrr
Yes, I know they rounded up and killed people’s pets and abused the people and whatnot, and it’s been a terrible abusive travesty. I’ve actually been aware of what happened to the Chagossians for years now, long before reading your comment.
My point was just that it was already plenty egregious and inhumane enough without exaggerating. When you say “all the animals” it makes it sound like they annihilated the entire ecosystem, which was within the realm of possibility (again: see Pacific nuclear testing) and therefore possible for someone to misinterpret as literal instead of hyperbole, but not actually what happened.
Torturing the dogs isn’t the same as torturing “all the animals.” Obviously it’s bad, but eliminating a non-native species is not nearly as bad as if they had, IDK, pulled an Enewetak and nuked all the coconut crabs or something like that.
Subsequently, we quantified the adherence of these two distinct sets of source code to coding standards, which we deploy as a proxy for source code quality
LOL
Aren’t these guys supposed to be tech geniuses or some shit?
Rich/famous tech people have never been “tech geniuses.” They’re always sociopathic business/marketing types.
I mean, that’s been obvious since Microsoft bought it.
But this is really more about how emulator devs ought to accept that Nintendo is going to try to persecute them and start keeping themselves anonymous to avoid being ruined by lawsuits, even though what they’re doing is neither illegal nor unethical.
In the long run, shit like this is theft from the Public Domain.
I fear for the younger generation, and how much pop-culture they’d have to catch up on in order to understand tier 4 memes.
More than you know: even I use a bicycle as my daily-“driver,” LOL!
Of the six cars I have, only one isn’t an old, unreliable project car and/or two-seater. Even then, I only have that because my parents essentially forced it upon me. (They have some kind of silly hang-up about having a cargo bike be my sole means of transporting the kids, other than public transit.)
Perhaps ironically, good urbanism is what gives me the freedom to treat cars as a hobby instead of a necessity, and I firmly believe that’s the way it ought to be. It’s a lot like how people can be into horses while also still understanding that it’s a dumb idea to commute to work on horseback.
