i wanted to say we still do but im not sure. its been a while since i shopped for one.
not that i would die for fucking russia but its the lesser evil vs the us. i suppose its easier to see that if you are closely related to cia people.
the us has done and and even admitted to stuff far worse than most out there. its not the biggest military budget in the world (of all time?) for nothing.
you can make things feel much comfier with a well positioned cheap lamp
in brazil, we used to have a law forcing this to be a thing. back in the laptop days, it used to be reasonably common for people to buy one without with linux, and pirate windows later to save money. or because it was plain cheaper.
it turns out brazil fomented a big userbase for linux for a while there. free market my ass, microsoft is an oligopoly. if this ever gets widespread i'm pretty sure adoption will grow for the simple fact people will at least get to fucking try it. microsoft wouldnt take it kindly though.
sssssshhhhhhhhhhh don't type this out loud
covid sends its regards. "hey, 30k people died today of just this disease."
its still a thing, that kills and cripples some people, but its like it doesn't even exist anymore.
yeah thats these people's code for capitalism, yes.
under the assumption that its the only democratic way, which is almost the exact opposite of the truth.
wonder if the radio button defaulted to the “Made in Asia” position
thats a good point. users heavily favor the default option, or rather they seldomly change it.
oh i love these things, we got a lot of the previous facelift to that one in decent numbers, kinda wanted one to drive pretty hard.
but in good condition such that it would not turn into a black hole for money, because they can sadly get crazy expensive to fix and maintain where i live. 10-15k usd sounds about right but its a huge amount in south america. like i can get new-ish proper car in great condition for that amount.
it can definetly turn exasperation into amusement.
I dunno, but I heard everybody clap.
I always hear the mean voice in my head clap sarcastically when I find the phone on my hand, so that must have been it.
We can think of a better system that the USSR or USA.
The USSR was literally the first time socialism has ever been tried. Of course we can improve upon and refine the socialism soviets came up with, using the obvious power of hindsight.
Socialism was never meant to be some static ideal truth dogma, and misrepresenting it that way is a strawman.
I also find it kind of weird to lump both like they are the same thing. The US is the bloodiest empire in the world by far.
capitalism is relentless in always settling for the cheaper way, no matter how or what the consequences are.
jokes on us, most peoples workweeks here is 6 days.
and some unlucky fucks will be looking at 10, 12 hour days. thats before considering the hours stuck in a packed bus because transportation sucks.
i wonder if europeans see old audis/bmws in a better light, since these cars are more commonplace over there (more commonly available parts, mechanics know its tricks, and all that)
i wonder if they are less run down or are simply just shitty cars everywhere.
i don't know anyone who regretted getting a toyota. you ain't either.
just make sure its in good condition.
i don't think it qualifies as that reliable if rust killed it only 4 years later. car bodies can usually last decades...
unless it had serious unseen rust issues beforehand, or you were driving it in salt all the time.
now theres the real red flag
