  • The companies bringing the stuff into the US pay this. As a consumer, all you'll see are increased prices. You'll never see tariff details on a receipt. Unless you directly import something yourself.

    The importer passes the costs on to you the consumer.

  • Simply being family doesn't mean you get to remain in my life. Cut off anyone who is toxic or otherwise not good for your life and health. This includes parents.

    After a decade it is still surprising to me how many people seem appalled by my no contact situation. I'm sorry, but I've wasted enough of my life on them and wishing for a fantasy dynamic that will never exist.

    "But they're your blood..."

    So what.

    "But they're your family..."

    No they're not. I made new family.

    Some people have really judged me for this decision. I judge others as they complain about their toxic families they never do anything about.

  • Nope. It's apparently going to be LCD. Based on recent handheld cycles, they'll just re-release in a few years with OLED as the major excuse for it. No real upgrade other than that.

    They claim it's "better" cause the new one is 1080p instead of 720p. Whoopdeedoo.

    I've also always known OLEDs to supposedly be more power efficient than LCDs, so a battery life downgrade in a way.

  • I'm living in a world that by default assumes all military and police are good. I've slowly over time seen enough to migrate to the other side. Fuck them all. And especially fuck the cult-like worship of military, and to a lesser extent, all policing.

    The grey area you're referencing also leads to bipartisan demands. Look where that gets us with extremists? No thanks.

    Statistically speaking, any cop I see or encounter is likely some kind of piece of shit, abusing their spouses, or their kids, or other people's kids, or generally being bigoted in their job and likely seeking excuses to overly apply authority put of their subconscious need to control others and feel important, or just enabling other cops to be assholes. Fuck em all.

  • Check with and get pre-approval from a credit union or two near you. Go with that pre-approval for the car you want.

    Rarely do the dealers find or provide a better deal. DON'T let them focus you on your monthly payment. Look at the complete picture.
