Marketing is a $1/4 TRILLION industry in the US alone because it works. Thinking that you are immune to it for one reason or another is laughable. In fact those that think they are immune to it, probably are the most susceptible to it’s pull.
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) on Tuesday insisted he’s innocent as more than a dozen of his Senate Democratic colleagues called on him to resign over last week’s indictment on bribery charges....
What an awful example. In fact, it is because of the rash decision by Democrats to turn on Al Franken, that I kind of agree with this guy. If he’s proven guilty, then absolutely a different story, then throw the book at him. But he hasn’t been proven guilty yet.
Democrats sure loooooove to turn on their own at the drop of a hat.
Are people seriously complaining about a President joining a strike picket line?!
Jebus fucken christ you people are pathetic. No wonder no one listens to you clowns.
The same dipshits that are trying to discredit Biden for somehow being out of touch will be praising Traitor Trump as if some billionaire from NY has any connection to regular folks.

My cat has been shitting infront of the litterbox for a while now but the strange thing is, its always on the same place, and she still does shit in the letterbox, but also outside....
Is the cat older? My oldest cat couldn’t step up into the litter box anymore so I ended up cutting the front of it so the step over was much smaller. You could also put a brick or build a wooden step which makes it easier for her to step into the box. It has to be heavy and sturdy enough to where it won’t move when the cat steps on it.
Also check that the box is clean. I would dump qll the litter and hit the inside with a hose to make sure it is clean. Dey it, and then refill it with fresh litter. And make sure you scoop out all the poop out of it every day. Cats tends to be very clean animals and don’t like a dirty box.
Another thing to consider is if the box is too small for them. One of our cats is rather large so we had to get a larger litter box for them.
They might still have mobility issues. If you don’t want to cut the front of the litterbox open to make it lower and bigger, than maybe get a piece of wood or a brick or something else to act like a step to make it easier for them to get into the box.
Also, I assume the litterbox isn’t just the bottom. Those are usually terrible. I am guessing that there is a top/cover to it, right? They could be pooping in the box near the edge and it just falls out if there is no cover.
It’s those damn computer makers! Damn them all to hell. They won’t pre-install, so clearly that’s what is keeping the far superior OS with single-digit marketshare. Clearly, that must be it!1!!
President Joe Biden is set to join members of the United Auto Workers union Tuesday in Wayne County, Michigan, walking the picket line on the eve of a visit from former President Donald Trump....
It doesn’t help that the local Democrat that represents that region (or whats to, at least) doesn’t even show up to these union cookouts. That only helps perpetuate the idea that Democrats live in ivory towers and aren’t connected to average Joes.
Only one way to find out, I guess. But still, a lot of this stuff comes from the high end that eventually trickles down, and I’ve never heard any discoveries that claim to have solved the problem. You’d think that since the military would be all over this tech, their limitless budgets would have stated they have sickness-free headsets. But in all these years, nothing.
I’m starting to get the new car itch, and I’m looking around there is just about nothing out there that interests me that is at a price I’d be willing to pay....
You are right, they are further apart in price than I realize. I always thought the Supra followed it’s BMW-heritage and cost more. I thought it started at 60, but the I6 could be had for $54k and up. I’d never even consider an i4 with that car.
Still, the Corvette starts at only $66k. Neither of these cars are going to be sold at a discount and I’m sure both Chevy and Toyota dealers are trying to add on mark-ups, but you don’t have to get crazy with options on the Vette and spend nearly 6-figures. Still, if I was dropping between $55 and $60k on a sports car, I rather get a used C8 (or even a C7) than a new Supra.
Unfortunately I think we are caught in a weird holding pattern for cars like that. For the last few years all car makers have been cutting almost anything fun or interesting as they ramp up their EV game. And that’s going to continue for a few more years as there is a whole ton of stuff going on internally and tons of uncertanty. I think (or at least I hope) that once these comapnies figure out their EV game-plan, they will use the cost savings allowed by using a common skateboard platform and let their designers run wild with crazier designs. But if that does happen, it probably won’t for a while. I think the first sign of this is that rather cool ID.Buzz retro EV van from VW.
I really wish Mazda would release some new Speed models. The 2nd gen S3 came out about a decade ago, and the S6 is nearing 20 years old. Really, I wish they would release any new non-crossover models because its a brand I want to like, but nothing in their lineup really suites my needs.
My most fun car was my OG bugeye Rex. Wasn’t an STI but damn did I love that car. Was so sad to have to say goodbye to it after 13 years of daily driving it.
I might agree with previous, smaller generations of Mustang, but I think at this point a V8 is the way to go. Especially when you consider that the days of new ICE cars is limited.

It isn’t the base that we need to flip. No party can win with ONLY it’s base. It is the roughly 1/3 of Americans who are independents that need to be convinced and increasingly they are rather sick and tired of the social nonsense they see from Democrats. They are sick of the identity politics BS and even if they might otherwise lean Democrat, they might not in the upcoming election.
How is this not going to increase the amount of bots, endless re-posts and in general FUD they get inundated with?
On the surface it sounds great and all, but to me it seems like it will accelerate the site being the shithole that it was headed to. Introducing money into anything like this typically brings out the worse in people.
