Turn it around: how does the enforced dealership model benefit consumers? What value is added by forcing people who want to buy a car to go through another entire group of salespeople adding their own overhead and cost to the equation rather than buying directly from the car manufacturer?

Musk's motivations are anything but pure here, but this is one of those "a stopped clock is right twice a day" moments.

No, he had sense to not ever include any of it from the get-go. Plenty of websites and services suggested he include 88 in his username though.

People were also born on the 14th in '88. Any of 'em who have sense don't put that in their username though, at least for very long.

Unfortunately, Sony seems to be really hostile towards allowing most any video player apps on the PS5. They specifically went out of their way to remove DLNA support, and they only just allowed a DLNA-enabled video player on the store 7 months ago... and it's subscription based.

Especially since the comment is still up and visible.

Now OP's response under that where he posted "Guillotine Elon", that was removed.

EDIT: You can also see this by searching his post history in the sub on pullpush. It's literally the first result.

Kinda the same here in Nevada. Our Spanish teacher explained them briefly but told us we didn't need to learn them, didn't test us on them, so on.

Yep. Underwood Ranches. You can buy it from their site directly or on Amazon. It's good stuff.

Most of them have gone to BlueSky. A few are on Mastodon but rarely as their primary (sadly). A lot of artists have gone to places like FurAffinity, Pixiv, and to a lesser extent DeviantArt.

Unfortunately a lot of them have just resorted to being on Patreon, which is unfortunate.

Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.

When you've lost the porn it's game over man.

Oh no doubt, but they thought they could appease him somehow. Now they're realizing that once you're on his list there's no getting back in his good graces. Peace was never an option.

For taxes: initially it was because business owners were renouncing their citizenship as a way to avoid income and capital gains taxes, as well as estate taxes. Once that was done though then the feds realized they could squeeze everyone.

For the draft: during the Vietnam War people would flee to other countries (usually Canada) and renounce their US citizenship, even if they didn't obtain citizenship elsewhere. Becoming a stateless person was (correctly) seen as less of a death sentence than being sent to Vietnam.

Ironically enough, you actually have to pay the US Government to renounce your citizenship. The base fee is $2,350, but the application process is so lengthy and complex the total cost can run up into the $20k range. Oh, and you're still obligated to pay taxes and subject to the draft.

Let's not forget the embedded racism in the original quote from Terry: "CIA nggers glow in the dark."

Yeah, but if they can do it that fast on their own, imagine how much faster they can get it done with help.

Besides, if China starts getting a little froggy Japan and South Korea are going to need a lot more than a few armaments to ward them off.

NATO was that, but it may very well continue on as something else. Without the US mind you, but nothing says the rest of the NATO countries can't just decide to stay in.

Of course it might also be a good time for them to all make the international equivalent of the No Homer's Club. Either way.

It doesn't, but per comments from the fire department and the gas company there were no signs of leaking pipes or carbon monoxide.

The fact that the dog died makes me think it was environmental of some kind though. Maybe something they all ate/drank?

I'll take "Streisand Effect" for $2000, Alex.

Technically they aren't lying: their subjective experience is much better when they don't have to deal with customers.

I actually run a hidden WPA1 SSID at home just so I can connect my PSP Fat to the net, so this is directly relevant to my interests.

Of course I need to upgrade my CFW. Still on M33 5.0. Then again I've been needing to do that for a while.

If you prevent the FDA from reporting on the bird flu then that means the bird flu doesn't exist. Easy peasy.
