> Tiktoker attacked for bad financial decisions

>> bought a Chevy Tahoe for $84,000 at a 10% interest rate with payments of $1400/mo, still owes $70k+

>> bought a truck for nearly the same price, payments of $1600/mo, still owes like $80k

>>> reveals she doesn't know why, she likes her Audi better

holy fuck who are these people? They're funneling ALL their money into cars. No appreciating assets. No savings. They're living paycheck to paycheck, hand to mouth just to fucking have some cars to impress their friends?

And she doesn't understand principal payments vs interest payments, or how compounding interest works, etc

nobody made this big of a deal when it was Toyota. Or how about the Audi 5000

This basically provides an API to jails, so I wonder how hard it would be to make it work with terraform. Could get a lot of renewed jail interest with that

We've never had a winter in the greater Chicago area since Tesla was founded I guess. My Model 3 driving in -30C was a myth.

This is great, we've now created a culture where people think they can recognize AI generated text and are accusing anyone and everyone. It's a total leopard-ate-my-face situation.

The overreaction created mass panic and outrage and now we get to suffer through a stage of false accusations that will do nothing to impress skeptics

My wife called me out on this but I can do better price comparisons across multiple sites and also have a full size keyboard for typing all the fields I know won't be correctly filled in, so yeah -- it's a laptop activity 🤫🫠

Literally nothing terrified me more than a giant student loan, so I cancelled my dream of going to uni for compsci when I was in high school. It wasn't possible and my dad was recently disabled so it's not like my parents could help. I was able to get a grant for a vocational school and took an IT networking course, total student loan I had to take out was $8000 paid back many years ago.

I'm fortunate things worked out. How big is your student loan balance?

Nothing because we didn't have social media to spread rumors across the planet. What were we supposed to do, post it on our Geocities page and write an ICQ/AIM bot to spread conspiracy theories?

Even then half the planet was still on dialup

So tired of fake car safety activists screaming about how touch screens are inherently dangerous when they don't spend any time experiencing what it's like to switch between car manufacturers because they live in a world where they e.g., only buy Fords so nothing ever changes in their view and everything is familiar

I'm on a vacation and my mother in law who has been driving for 40 years can't figure out how to get her Nissan into Reverse because they made the shifter bizarrely complicated for no good reason at all

I'm driving this piece of shit to pick up some necessities and nearly getting killed because there's a million buttons and lights everywhere unlabeled, all the steering wheel controls -- of which there are far too many to be safe -- are in a completely different layout than every other car I've driven.

This shit complete lunacy. The problem isn't touch screens, it's familiarity. If you want cars to be safe you need to mandate a standard layout of all buttons and controls in every car. Zero deviation. Every car should be identical.

Give me back my Tesla, a car that's actually safe to drive and has as minimal of an interior as possible

When we were younger, the idea of "having access to all the music" was amazing. But now there's too much music. I feel like streaming services actually stunt your interest in music because there's too much to choose from, so you let the algorithm guess what you may like and it can sometimes work but often not. And then you get stuck in a rut of the same old playlists and start to lose your connection with your collection, because you no longer have a collection to care about.
