What did you pay for that DP from a gas powered blower? Just curious…

Sorry, let me rephrase for you: I’ll just go ahead and uproot my entire life to move to a country that sells Chinese cars.

Some real examples that are specific to the trip I take:

There is no rail service that goes there. It would be a combo of trains and busses that takes significantly longer and costs more than the gas.

Our dog comes with us, generally isn’t allowed on mass transit, and the much longer trip would stress her out if she was.

There is little to no mass transit in the town they live in to get around once we arrive so we’d end up borrowing or renting a car anyway.

With limited amounts of time off, making the trip overnight adds a full day of getting to see our family to the trip.

The only other realistic means of getting there is flying but, I enjoy driving and hate everything about air travel. It’s a pretty cheap flight for one person but becomes more expensive once you add in the rest of the family and the dog can’t come.

Edit: formatting

Sure. But first you need to build one that takes me there.

who wants that?

I do. We have family that we visit a few times each year. If I leave at 2am and drive straight through, we get there in 7-8 hours. If I make the drive during the day, it takes 10-13 hours.

Cool. I’ll just go ahead and abandon my whole life to move to China.

Sure but they are mostly Nazi bars and Klan rallies.

Shit… is this evidence that he’s the lesser of two evils? I don’t know if I can handle that thought.

How would murdering a modern Scottish rock band stop the world wars?

Yeah, if this was highschool she’d be going down on his crush when she knew he’d walk in on them.

Do they have nothing better to do?

Lol, yes I do know that. I’ve spent quite a few US dollars on drugs myself.

I really was just joking. I’m not judgemental about privacy, drugs, or most things really. I also realize that ALL money is fake money that only has value because we have agreed that it does. If the topic had been short term rentals instead of crypto, I’d have made an “illegal hotel chain” joke instead.

Also, If I offended you I’m sorry. I hope you have a good night (or day if you live far away from me).

“Fake money for drug dealers” is just a general crypto joke from a meme I saw here on lemmy. It just so happens that the flavor of fake money that you fell in love with actually is for drug dealers.

You’ve got me curious now though. It’s apparently important to you to keep the details of your grocery purchase completely private and that’s totally fine if it makes you happy. I don’t need to understand it to accept it. What I want to know is how far do you go to protect that privacy? Do you give Instacart your neighbor’s address? Do you use a fake name?

Yet another fake currency for drug dealers.

It’s “cool.”

Yup. I remember realizing that he was a piece of shit back in 2018 when he was calling that rescue diver a pedophile.

No, they also have Nazis and other assorted bigots.

Also “fires back” or “this trick”

Nice job proving my point.

Oh no, you’re making a difference for sure. You’re absolutely pushing people AWAY from the green party.
