Because next to having a pulse, the ability to drive and get yourself to a workplace is literally the most important qualification for any job you could ever do, and it’s typically a question on entry level job applications.

What’s your deal? DL is obviously “drivers license”, lmao.

Right? That guy needs to chill out. Charlie Kirk was worth no more, and probably even less, than any of the other hundreds of people that die any and every day from gun violence. People on the Right have literally just discovered what America is all about, I guess?

lol

Ukraine gave up their nukes. How’s that going?

Haven’t been the same since I finished the game a few years ago. Andrew Prahlow dominated my Spotify playlist for two years following and now I have an emotional aversion to pulling the game open, after having played through it (and the DLC) three or six times over the course of 90+ hours gameplay.

10/10 would recommend lol

I had some friends I convinced to play through it and they just didn’t get anything out of it. Couldn’t believe it tbh

I’m in the same boat. I’m into cars, and have a couple that I enjoy very thoroughly, but I’ve never been able to think of a name that sticks, even tho I’ve tried. I usually just refer to as “The Mazda” or whatever. Mayhe one day I’ll have a Jaguar, and will be able to refer to it as “The Jag” like Jeremy Clarkson haha

The worst part of getting “old” is that other people think you’re getting old. And the jokes about it, too. I’m generally physically healthy on account of gym and my bicycle, and I probably feel better now than when I was 25. Sorry I have wrinkles from laughing and smiling so much over the last few decades, society. Jeez

Dang, I was hoping there was a competitor. I’m boycotting Musk companies as best I can

They’re getting candy CRUSHED

This guy is gonna freak when he finds out where fishes pee

My take is that this guy did business with Best Buy, not Door Dash. I would never do business with Door Dash and I’m never doing business with Best Buy after hearing this story. It’s up to Best Buy to wrangle their contractors, not OP. I’d also just do the chargeback tbh. The credit card company always sides with their customers unless it’s obviously a scam, and if there’s video evidence, the credit card company has no problem taking their money back from Best Buy. They have no reason to choose Best Buy because they have no other option if they want to keep accepting credit cards. OP has dozens of credit card and banking services to choose from instead.

What

Haha, I understand now!

You don’t even need a car. You can just walk. You also don’t really need a grocery store, you can just grow your own food.

Modern society hasn’t been about what we “need” for hundreds or thousands of years.

“Not wanting to go out” anymore is the most pessimistic way to view it. There’s just better, more fulfilling things to do other than the things other people have suggested that we should be doing with our time and money.

Right? Just take the win and move on!

Found the kid that didn’t grow up right ^^^^

Of course it works out if you throw any numbers in that you want. Minimum hourly wage in the US is 7.25-ish in Alabama and the rest of the decrepit South, to 16-ish in California. I googled minimum wage in China and its roughly 3.40-ish at its highest. At the worst, China is half as expensive, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the disparity between the actual industrial areas of China and Califonia/Colorado for example might be 8x.

Whats happening here is that the poorly educated South is wanting me to subsidize their lack of marketable job skills by making me pay extra for American goods instead of Chinese goods.

And don’t forget that the extra money these Americans earn will be partially consumed by the extra cost of living anyways. Not to mention the years or decades of investment it will take to get factories set here anyways, all for low-skill, physically demanding, and mentally unengaging employment.

Manufacturing should be automated anyways because nobody should have to sit at a conveyor belt all day and toil their lives away assembling dumb trinkets.

But they’re not going to increase wages to account for us having to spend 55 dollars on something that used to cost 5. So the end result is just that people end up with less overall. I’m cool with limiting consumerism, but this isn’t the way to do it imo. And it’s not going to make us “richer” as a nation.

And we haven’t even addressed the whole reason manufacturing left in the first place. It’s so much cheaper to do it overseas, even accounting for shipping. It will cost America much more to produce items internally–and who is going to buy these extra-expensive items? America is a service economy and most people are working at Walmart or McDonald’s. These people can barely afford the cheap Chinese version, much less the expensive American version.

So I guess they’re hoping wages will increase more than the extra expensive incurred by making our own items? Not going to happen, not in a million years.
