Fake tree. Easier, safer, less messy. Yeah, it’s plastic, but it lasts as long as you want to keep using it. We just got a new one because we needed a skinny one for space reasons. But the old one we had for over a decade, and we sold it on to someone else.

It seems I managed to block McZee from my memory. After a quick search, I’m glad I did.

It was 3D movie maker. I looked it up after I made the comment, and forgot to reply or update.

I remember it being janky as hell.

This just unlocked a memory of playing something similar but it was pre 2005 and did not look like the screenshots.

Yep. There also emissions vs weight or payload of the vehicle regulations that make it even less profitable to produce small pickups here.

Yep, and nobody makes a true equivalent to the small pickup anymore. Even the Ford Maverick is bigger than 90s Tacomas, and Rangers

It all depends on what car it is. Obviously, nobody is dumb enough to pay that on an 18 year old KIA or Hyundai.

Yeah, my car is 18 years old, has almost 300k miles on it, and because it’s desirable and not made anymore, it’s still worth about half what I paid for it 14 years ago.

A brand new car.

Buy used, let someone else take the depreciation hit.

yeah. We recieved one as a gift. It was ok for a while, but you had to keep the floor clear, and it was always getting stuck. Now with small kids. Forget about it.

I think some communities would try. But it wouldn’t work. There wouldn’t be physical auctions. The banks would just sell to whatever faceless megacorp that was interested.

Good riddance anime.

The ones with Wi-Fi are probably cheaper because they are profiting from selling your data. Just like with smart TVs.

Sign language is still speech.

Nope. But my friend snorted sour skittles powder on a dare. The aftermath was like he had been pepper sprayed.

Only if something actually interesting happened. Interesting enough for me to still care about it once I walk out the office door. I think it irritates my wife that I don’t have more to tell her about my workday. But for me, I pretty much just mentally flip a switch when work is done, and don’t give a shit about it until 9am the next work day. I say this as someone who generally likes their job. I’m also lucky to work somewhere with no drama.

On the other hand, I have a coworker who has several 20+ minute phone calls with his wife throughout the day, where they tell each other literally every fucking thing that has happened to them since the last call. I cannot wrap my head around that level of co-dependency.

Yes. I thought the same. Really dumb color choices.

There was a point where he was heavily embraced by internet nazis, and incels. He kinda became associated with them. The original creator tried to reclaim him and disavow all that, but the damage is done for alot of us.

I know pepe didn’t start out that way, and I know the original creator has tried to reclaim him. But for far too long he was linked to internet nazi incel bs, and I can’t really get past it.

This thread caused me to look up WTF y’all were talking about, and yeah… It does look like it’s a whoosh. But I suspect a lot of people are like me and had no idea what loss.jpg is and have never seen it before.
