I really like this one. Maybe it would scare leaders to not become corrupt scum of the earth. Saving it for people who impact the most lived makes the most sense to me.
Idk if she was my bully necessarily, but the interactions with that group of people fucked with me. Anyway, she became a therapist which I thought was absolutely fucking wild. I wonder if she ever thinks about the way she acted as a teen.
This is why I can't be one of those people who drink their morning coffee at work instead of before work. Because then I'll have to shit in public instead of at home and then I won't have as much time to complete my work.
Well, when people wrong me in very significant ways, I actually don't forgive and tolerate them. Especially when said people repeat the harmful behaviors to others over and over again, often without remorse. In that regard, I'm not necessarily being a ton different in the way I view myself. One of the problems is that I continue to do X even when I try not to.
Idk if any of that made sense.
I hear this a lot. I know you're just answering the OP, but I just wanted to say I have a hard time with this. The point is that it's me and that I know better than to do X. So what then?
I just looked up your source. That is of new vehicles sold. While a good start, you're skipping my latter part about people not replacing their vehicles for a decade. Only 3% of vehicles globally on the road are EVs per the source.
Do you mean physical money in terms of paper/plastic/coins or money as a concept? If the latter, how would society function?
20 years though? That's incredibly generous and unlikely imo.
People are refusing to tackle the infrastructure issue of people charging their cars who do not own single family detached homes. It's a significant population of people for which owning an electric vehicle is a huge inconvenience. Public charging stations exist, but take significantly longer than the 2 minutes it takes to pump gas.
The second big thing is that people simply don't replace their cars that often. Might be pulling this out of my ass, but I had read recently that the average person replaces their vehicle every 7-12 years...and it is often not with a brand new vehicle. Considering how electric cars still make a very small percentage of those on the road, I can't see 100% removal of gas vehicles in 20 years in only a few generations of vehicle ownership change.
The Nissan Leaf came out around 15 years ago as the first big name, somewhat popularish electric vehicle. Yet in 2025 electric vehicles are nowhere close to even 50% of vehicles on the road.
In the more distant future? Sure. 20 years ain't happening tho.
But we'll see!
Thank you for the suggestion! I have a stupid question about it...does that mean your dog has an inhaler type device or is it some sort of oral medication? Our dog had been taking oral steroids for some time but the vet stopped them in favor of increasing cough medicine usage.
I keep seeing articles like this.
Do you know why Samsung's foldables sold so well each year prior to the last? Because they did something insane where they allowed the USA market to pay only $50-100 for the latest foldable if they just traded in their old model. They also often gave away free products with the phones like ear buds and watches.
In 2024, they stopped that insane deal. Obviously sales plummeted as a result.
I'm not saying that was at all a sustainable business model. But people are acting surprised when less people bought the newest line when they weren't dirt cheap like the old ones and they are only iterative changes.
How is this a meme
As a kid, I would always flip on the TV for the evening episode of the Simpsons too haha! Except I swear for me it was 5pm.
