I was going to say long-term thinking. We're just not wired to consider long-term consequences for the things we do. We continually get duped by promises of lower taxes without considering the damage it will cause for decades to come.

That’s a Meijer

Doubtful, but you can certainly get a 4 year old truck for less than a new truck

Don’t get me wrong, car companies absolutely jacked the price of their cars up, and lenders absolutely loaned money they shouldn’t have, but Americans bought $60k trucks with no money down on 7 and 8 year loans. FFS stop doing this shit! I bought my truck when it was 4 years old, for $16k, it’s now 13 years old, and I still have it. You probably don’t need a brand new car, and you almost definitely need to trade in the one on which you still owe money.

Since the laws of physics say nothing can travel faster than light,

"Ensign Smith, bend the rules!"

Nobody expects the rules of acquisition!

Only if you read it, though 🤷‍♂️

I’m a little more cynical, so I’m guessing it’s because rich people and businesses have more influence of politicians, and politicians have influence over the IRS. I doubt it’s a coincidence that conservative media has targeted the IRS so aggressively over the past year or so.

The agency said that it is taking "urgent" steps to increase compliance such as auditing more high-income taxpayers as well as businesses and partnerships.

Straight from the article

Good news, everyone!

Yeah that’s absolute bullshit

Supposedly they cancelled the 2nd season so they could try to sell it to another network/streamer.

Promise me we’ll see each other again.

Sorry, we’ve been cancelled.

I’m staying out of this debate, but you get an upvote for the Pink Panther. That was a priceless Steinway!

I always assumed the rent went to the Bajorans. After all, it’s their station, Sisko just runs it for them.

As for the bar tabs, I don’t think they ever really explained how starfleet officers paid for stuff on DS9. I always just assumed they had some kind of credit account through Starfleet or something when they were posted there.

Suicide Squad

You want me to link posts that the mods removed? That seems like an unrealistic expectation. You could always check the post pinned to the top of lemmyshitpost where they describe the recent problems, but I suspect you didn’t ask for proof in good faith

Considering all the alt-right garbage that was popping up there the last couple of days this seems at least plausible. I sometimes envy their ability to utterly destroy anything they touch.

You know what? You’re right. Our elections are corrupt. I’m canceling them all while we investigate!
