  • In fairness, I think the possibility that someone might light your car on fire is a stronger incentive to not buy a brand than internet posts making fun of the brand. It also means now they have to beef up security at all of the dealerships. Car sales are surprisingly impulse driven, hence the famous high pressure sales tactics, so it’ll be harder to get people in the door if they’re strip searching everyone and if they can’t have as much inventory on the lot, customers can’t drive home with the options they want so less impulse buying. Also full coverage insurance, required for financing, will get more expensive or even impossible to obtain which possibly means a massively decreased customer pool.

    I think a better counter argument is the environmental damage caused by lighting all the cancer boxes on fire.






  • He doesn’t give me gun nut vibes either…

    • he actually did gray man correctly
    • he probably didn’t test fire his gun setup
    • his gun setup was extremely minimalist
    • he seems to have used a Temu fuel filter sort of suppressor instead of assembling one with a booster (no it wasn’t a fucking welrod lmao)

    The gun part feels a bit like an afterthought that he spent a couple nights googling on and then threw together. The fact that he’s eluded capture for so long on the other hand suggests that’s where he put all his effort. I’d bet he’s probably an intelligence/cyber security/IT/SWE professional with an axe to grind and less to lose than he should.





  • Law is a human construct, it is essentially a consensus structure. You can hold up a piece of paper that says “I can do what I want” and maybe it’s even legitimate, but you still need to convince other people of that and our legal structure/precedent puts more emphasis on process than being efficient or fast.

    In effect, the law has stopped trump from doing just about everything he wants to sans a few items. Every time he tries to do something he has to fight a bunch of people and that takes up some of his finite time and resources.

    Just because he has friends in all the high places doesn’t mean everyone else will just jump into line and do exactly what he wants, the more people obstruct the less damage he can do.
