I think that’s my line of logic though. Why not accelerate. We either speed up the collapse, or we prove that “running government like a business” gets us this mess. The dems have for too long played the game of appeasement with complaints and limits. If the people want Trump, and they’re fine with the horror that brings them give them the whole package. It’s not like as if we can say “well but brown people will suffer more” or “trans rights” when all of this is being eroded away as it stands.

My view is that this is a longer, cultural issue and sometimes putting it all out on display is a better option than just sitting idly by as things deteriorate.

Given the “will of the people” with Trump having won a majority of votes, and given the statement “never interrupt your enemy when they’re making a mistake” I feel like the dems should just help nominate all of trumps picks. It’s a more crazy idea admittedly, but I think these are the interesting times we live in. Gaetz would literally be ineffective and hilariously stupid. Which would mean that every legal case wouldn’t matter over the next few years. If he picked someone (evil) competent like Barr again we’d be radically fucked. Gaetz means we have a chance of nothing happening for a while.

Dr. Spaceman is my favorite. I frequently reference the party bowl of drugs and whether people want some purples or some blues.

What’s the “dumb ass take” from this? Because based on what just happened a lot of this is accurate. Sad, but accurate.

Good thing because Tim Apple was already CEO of another company.

It’s not even racist rednecks in most of those in-between areas. It’s a lot of Hispanics, and let me tell you… there’s a whoooolllleeeeee lot of racist Hispanics in this state and a lot that are happy they got in and fine with no one else coming in behind them.

Just drove around the bay (Concord to Atherton, Santa Cruz to San Jose, and then back to SF before going back home). There was a lot of trump flags and supporters on bridges and vehicles driving around. There’s a lot of Trump supporters even in Progressive Bay Area regions. Lots of tech bros now are big Trump supporters. That said, the west coast has far, far less than other regions.

I think the audio detail was so high because it helped to sell the realism of the game. Go back and play those early games and they don’t look nearly as good as my brain remembers, but the audio helped to fill in the lack of gravel looking texture and leaves tussling sounds in bushes that had two twigs on them.

It’s actually more Tesla related than most people know/think. Dodge for the last several years has basically been selling majority V8s which go against most CAFE regulation. So in order to meet the efficiency metric they needed they bought carbon credits from Tesla. So all those supercharged V8s and 392 scat packs existed because of Tesla, and Fiat Chrysler (at the time) helped to keep Tesla afloat by purchasing credits. It’s becoming more difficult for that now, but they built so much of their brand around their V8s that most customers are turning away. Not to mention that the new I6 and I4 have massive problems all over. It’s an even longer story that the cnbc video, but given their timeline for vehicle launches this is either going to be a bumpy few years for Stellantis or it will falter until it slowly sells off brands or just stops brands all together. Chrysler only makes one car, Dodge has like 4, and Jeep was cool until a plastic car costs 70k now.

I’m a RAM truck owner and even I don’t understand how they fucked up this badly. The one thing they do have is that during the pandemic they were able to source more chips for their vehicles due to an existing relationship with a manufacturer somehow and so they actually won quite a bit of fleet/government business since they were the only option. Of course some of those cars are failing now…

It was free. It’s a marketing stunt. People were selected to put their resume on a box and say which offices they wanted it to go to. Pizza Hut then sent them free pizza with the resume on it. It’s all in the article.
