I put on my robe and wizard hat

Your heart’s in the right place but this is bad advice.

Teslas are still wickedly expensive to repair and there’s only the dealership who can do those repairs.

And the parts break way too often, even parts that shouldn’t break ever, like the door handles that only Tesla can replace. The cost of that can apparently be over $1k. For a door handle.

It’d be a money pit after the warranty period runs out. You’re still going to be better off with a run of the mill beater car

Until Tesla allows other shops to do repairs, those swastikars will never be economical even if you ignore the Nazi part

Your point about buying used being better for the environment also applies to older gas powered cars too, which will be easier and cheaper to repair

This dude does have a job, it’s playing whatever game that is everyday

The brain drain has begun.

What a smart long term move, alienating all the smart people into leaving

I’m reluctant to actually invest this years IRA contributions and may have better returns just holding it in standby as the market ‘volatility’ continues

Despite the advice that time in the market beats timing the market, I have a feeling these extraordinary circumstances mean the opposite for the time being

Where have you been all my life?

This is exactly the tool I needed. Thank you so much!

Hardly ever to be honest, unless I’m looking back through my comment history to find a specific thing I’m looking up.

That’s not counting the proofreading/editing I do on longer comments before and immediately after submitting.

Old habits die hard from years of writing papers at school. My first draft at most anything reads bad and I’ve got habits to overuse punctuation or repeat words, so to not look like I’m insane I edit. Minor efforts go a long way in getting traction on comments too

Yeah I definitely read through and edited this after the first pass

Options are good generally speaking, but more google just sounds like a bad idea

Since mastodon can interact with us, does that mean bluesky can too?

There’s an MMO I have played off and on for almost 2 decades now. I can’t even imagine how many hours I’ve accumulated, especially back when I was a kid with nothing to do but school.

Life is so much busier and way more things demanding my time as a grown-up, and I simply cannot sit in a chair like that for any long stretch of time, I get antsy.

The most disturbing part is that everyone is still discussing it.

You give him power by taking his mouth diarrhea as something more than just that.

This is the opposite of r/restofthefuckingowl, as things should be

What year is it?!

That must mean anon also listens to Luigi

I’m doing my small part.

Went from 100% lurker on Reddit to regularly active lemmy commenter

There’s also Wire

E2EE and can be used as desktop or phone app interchangeably. No phone number required for signup.

Family has been using this for years now

But how do you know if it’s censored 🤔

Right?

Came here to say fake and gay but damn, that last line changes everything

I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they’re actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy

Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action
