We just bought a Prius. There was a dealer $2000 special and a manufacturer $2000 discount so we got it $4000 under MSRP.
Go to cars.com and look for cars you want anywhere, then call the dealer and figure something out.

The new model's certainly a respectable vehicle but not 30K good. Not that I can spend any more, but IF I were to spend that much, there's a plethora of used cars I'd rather go with. We need to save more anyway, so whatevs. Dealers can go suck it with their markups. Acting like a Civic is a freaking rare model Vette with these markups. NOPE! Homey don't play that.Quote:

I had several friends that got to go to Chappelle's intimate gatherings on his farm in Yellow Springs, OH last year and to a man and woman, of all stripes and persuasions, they said he is an absolute treasure.
I won't attempt to give any opinion on Chappelle's schtick on transgender issues, because I've not listened to any of the material etc. (So, I'm not making ANY judgement, for or against.)Quote:

If my parents named me "Greg" - but now I want to be called "Bob" - but you decide that's just too "weird" and unnatural - and still insist on calling me "Greg" - that would, IMO, make you an asshole. It costs you nothing to call me Bob. It's respectful, even if you don't agree with how I came to the conclusion I want to be "Bob."
I also think people that ignore people's wishes around gender are also assholes.
Yeah, there's nothing saying you have to respect anyone's wishes about how they'd like you to interact with them. But you're still an asshole if you refuse to be kind.
If I decide I want to be "Sally" next week - then the kind, and socially adept way to respond is to simply call me "Sally." It might squick you out, it might be against your "religion" (though I have to say a ton of those people haven't actually read or comprehend the book they claim to follow), it might be awkward, or whatever - but it's not being "honest" or "courageous" or "edgy" to refuse to call me Sally. It's just you being an asshole, IMO.
I just really wish that people would simply think about how they'd (at least most people) treat their mom - and do likewise for their fellow humans. Yeah, she might not be making the most sense on whatever topic - but you can still be kind and gentle, even if you don't get their deal.
Edited to add:
Perhaps I should change that wording a bit. Rather than saying they are an asshole - I'll just say that I'm not sure if they're assholes or not - just that they're acting like assholes. And if you don't want to be seen as acting like an asshole or perhaps actually being one, how about acting differently.
Did you ask if they identify as assholes?
Comedy isn't dead but Chappelle's newest bit isn't innovative commedy either. It comes off as material that he worked out on a home crowd. The whole schtick is saying something he knows to be offensive.Quote:

comedians tend to push boundaries
sometimes good, sometimes not
one can only hope they keep learning as they go along
does "canceling" exist? yes
is criticism always canceling? no
societies "boundaries" are always changing
not sure where to land on this one, but it seems some legitimate criticism is buried in there with the always over-the-top media attention
In American culture as soon as a winner loses they are washed up. Watching European football they kinda act the same way so maybe it is just another awful human behavior.
We shouldn't expect perfection from performers but people aren't rational thinkers
news sites continue to erode news
The Hill has generally been reliable for political news. The opinion pages are full of conservative leaning stuff, but it is usually pretty well ID'ed as opinion.
This advertising in the style of the news copy & is clearly a new low for The Hill.

The #2 story on that sidebar illustrates my contention that talking about “cancel culture” has become a bigger industry than “cancel culture”. It’s news because people will engage with it, not because it has any merit or value other than getting clicks.
You can tell cancel culture is pretty much fake because the people who are constantly bitching about cancel culture are constantly yapping all over multiple media platforms. What they really mean is “I said some toxic shit and they took away my sweet sweet ad/endorsement money! It isn’t fair! Why aren’t I allowed to be an asshole without consequences?”Quote:

There is a special place in hell for people that design and implement packaging.
Hahaha. Dealt with the EXACT same thing on my patio heaters too. Seriously frustrating having to dick with that stuff after an otherwise straight forward assembly.Quote:

I finally get to a cashier and tell her I'm returning my 4 articles and have no receipts. She needs my drivers license for some reason. Then she starts typing my info into the system and she has 3" fingernails so she makes me look like a speed typist. Then she scans the items and the last one has only the mfr tags and no Marshalls tag with their sku. She calls down to another cashier who says she'll take care of it and my cashier brings it down to her.
Now at a new register and all the info has to be reentered and garments scanned again, Gets to the last item and without hesitating she says she doesn't have a sku, so can't give credit which is understandable, but why TF didn't you let the other cashier just finish up. Then she takes a store gift card and hand writes my name on the card, I ask her why they need my license and she says that is so nobody else can use the gift card, I ask why and she says only you can use it, not even your wife, How TF is this place still in business with such a ridiculous exchange policy and inefficient service? I turned around to leave and the line was literally 20 people deep. I can't imagine that place around Christmas time.
