  • At my high school, if you were a senior with a job (and it wouldn’t affect your graduation) you could take a “work program” class which was supposed to be about personal finance and career goals. But the teacher sucked and every Friday, we’d watch a show tangentially related to jobs. That show? The Apprentice.

    She thought Trump was a good businessman and we could learn some lessons. We were also assigned Art Of The Deal. She was not thrilled that we weren’t into it.

    And let me tell you, anyone who watches that show and reads his book then still walks away thinking Trump is anything but a bumbling idiot is a goddamn fool.

    I’ve hated this dude for 20 years.



  • Is it? I think it’s worth pointing out that they only tested 3 models (?) from the same company. We have no idea if it can be extrapolated so the headline is hyperbolic. It’s like saying apples potatoes are poisonous but you only tested 3 farms owned by the same company for poison.

    Regardless, I am pro-regulation for both safety and environmental impact. They created an insane amount of ewaste already and now some have full color LCDs…on a device you’re supposed to throw away in a month




  • Buddy, you may be an expert in vehicular regulations but I sure hope you don’t think you’re expert in picking up on social cues.

    I will be blunt and leave no room for doubt here - I am not interested in debating this topic nor am I interested in debating anything with you in particular.

    Imagine being in a casual conversation in real life and having some random guy walk up and start ranting about a point you weren’t making. You’re confused but acknowledge their presence out of courtesy. Then they drop another essay on you and this time they’re insisting you defend the point.

    That’s you in this thread. You’re that annoying guy.

    Please go make some friends. Your smarter-than-thou attitude is absolutely insufferable.
