If you have a car you like and it can be repaired for a reasonable price it makes much more sense to do that, instead of getting a new one. The repair may cost roughly the book value of your vehicle, but then you'll have a working vehicle which matches your needs, instead of one which most...

Thanks for making me aware of 55+ plans. I thought most discounts didn't start until 65. I'm a Princeton alumni actually. My brother broke his iPhone screen multiple times but did his own repairs. He's not even an EE like me. I'm going to be mostly using the phone in case of emergencies, and...

I'm finally coming into the 21st century and getting a mobile phone. I already have Verizon for Internet, TV, and my landline. Verizon has an offer of 90 days free mobile service for existing customers but you need a phone to take advantage of it. I'm leaning towards getting an iPhone 14 on eBay...

Probably most of the Republican party. Trump thought there would be mostly Democrats in those files. When he found out otherwise, there were suddenly no Epstein files.

The perpetual optimist in me says this too will pass. The realist says otherwise. What's amazing is all these MAGAs defending policies which will hurt them in Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill. Or more accurately Big Raging Dumpster Fire.

It'll definitely extend to women and girls in general. I'm sure part of the hidden agenda of Project 2025 is to make females property again. You'll probably even have people wearing MFPA hats. This way the incel "white grievance" males don't have court women to get laid. They can just buy them...

In anyone is interested I uploaded pictures and videos when I saw the Macy's fireworks this year. Now that I have my freedom back I'm starting to go out more. Pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Gh9dHVnHZ3EmkhVp7 Videos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BeesKHf87pgpkmAWA (first video is part of the...

That's what I'm hoping happens, rather than any low-level conflicts lasting for years or decades. In theory we can stop this cold in 2026 if the Dems get control of both houses of Congress. In practice I think Trump will find an excuse to void any election results he doesn't like. There's also...

I don't disagree with anything you wrote, sed. It's 1933 all over again, and it's scaring the crap out of me.

I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that if the blue states stop sending money to Washington lots of people won't be getting paid. Those with the gold make the rules. The blue states have a lot more gold. NY and CA combined would be the world's 3rd largest economy. The US GDP would fall from $30.5...

I'm thinking more along the lines of the blue states having the drones, data, and smart bombs. They'll be confronted by MAGAs with AR-15s. The end result will be so lopsided it wouldn't even be funny. The military is on whichever side pays it. If the blue donor states stop sending their money to...

I totally agree about the alternate reality being propagated by the likes of Fox News, OANN, and Newsmax being largely responsible for where we are now. When nearly half the country can't even agree on the same basic facts as the rest, what hope is there?

Stuff like this is why the 2nd Amendment exists. Civil war anyone? It sadly might come to that to stop these people.

Let's not forget this speech by ICE Barbie: Apparently this administration wants to "liberate" cities like LA from so-called "socialism". I can see where this is heading. Next year they'll use this playbook to try to void election results they don't like. We're getting a front row seat to how...

Sad to say I think that's going to happen. Even worse, this Supreme Court will rubber stamp it.
