  • Goodbye bathtubs. You were fun while you lasted.

  • I agree. I think the blue/indigo/periwinkle color is different enough from other blues to stand out. And the patterns/striping of the other colors is far more interesting to look at than any of the other liveries.

    It's a lot better than the solid color patch surround by black on the other cars.

  • I stand corrected. There is literally no functional difference between "currency" and (at least some) crypto.

  • You literally just defined the attributes of a currency. The only difference is that crypto isn't backed by a government.

    Edited. See below. Apparently some crypto is government backed. There is no functional difference between traditional currency and (at least some) crypto.

  • We all know that progress is never linear. That’s why we will not declare any numerical targets.

    Sounds like the end of 5-Year Plans (TM).

  • The infamous "inside sources" have said so, so it must be true.

  • I don't disagree one bit. The Border(TM) gets trotted out more than it ought to every couple years. That's probably why this issue will never be fixed--it's great at riling people up.

    However, I think people should still be aware of the facts of the situation. At least if they actually care about the problem. Misinformation doesn't fix anything.

  • Let's see what the source says:

    https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters

    There were 50k more border encounters (illegal apprehensions) in December than the year before. In fact, encounters have been significantly higher than recent years since August (no data for January).

    You can agree or disagree with the response to the influx of people at the border. But there is no denying there has been a considerable increase in traffic.

  • Does anyone think the bodywork is at all close to what they'll show during testing?

    The area under/around the rear wing looks suspiciously bare.

  • "A police state keeps everyone safe"

    ...

    "No wait, not like that"

  • The people most likely to be abused by police are the least likely to be able or willing to file a formal complaint.

  • Just as long as the police can still steal any property and call it civil forfeiture.

  • It's a high crime neighborhood because criminals live there. Or more precisely, because it's a poor, gang infested neighborhood.

    What you've said makes no sense. There are high crime neighborhoods like this all over the country independently of what Google maps does. There are also neighborhoods full of tourists that aren't high crime areas.

    Particular conditions, in this particular neighborhood, lead to these particular crimes occurring.

  • So did millions of any other group of people you can think of; white, black, rich, poor, young, and old. Are they all uncompromising pieces of shit too? Is voting for Biden the mark of the beast, and once marked you're never entitled to government reforms?

    Or is there some other purity test one must pass before being eligible for support?

  • What I find most interesting/exciting is wondering who will take Lewis' seat? I'm personally hoping for Albon.

  • We agree the current "boomer" policies are inadequate and should be changed, yes? Then is your position that improvements to the status quo should exclude people of a certain age because of how a portion of that population has voted?

    If that's your position, then that's condemnation. The entire group is being excluded from the solution, despite only a portion having created the problem in the first place.

    Apply that logic to any minority/disadvantaged/disenfranchised group, and see where it takes you. Should all Palestinians be punished because they didn't do enough to stop Hamas? Should black Americans born in the 1910s not have enjoyed the benefits of the Civil Rights movement because they didn't affect enough change in their youth?

  • Did you reply to the wrong comment? I don't think my comment is really related the points you've brought up.

  • Everyone older than me can get fucked.

    Just wait until they say that about you. I don't know what your age is, but your generational cohort certainly hasn't done everything perfectly either. No "generation" ever has, and never will.

  • The will of the majority shouldn't infringe on the liberty of the minority. Might shouldn't make right.

    Are you saying the actions of a portion of an arbitrarily defined group should condemn the group as a whole? I'll ask the same question I asked another commenter; are you okay with that same principle being applied to you in the future?
