- Comment on If we have Black Friday after Thanksgiving where everything goes on sale. Does that mean April 5 is Orange Saturday where everything gets more expensive. 4 days ago:
No, that’s Black Friday. Most sales are fake, I figure theres 4 routes those sales go:
- They jack up the regular price a month before and just lie saying the normal price is a “sale”.
- Its an actual sale, but after the sale price will increase significantly.
- Its the sale of an inferior product, most often seen with TVs and electronic.
- It a real sale, often done by smaller entities pressured into taking a loss for the day hoping to either clear dead stock or get their product into more hands.

I assume its more of it subscribes to your newsletter same as a user would, so when you send out the newsletter to “group 1”, the google thing is also on that mailing list.
And yes, should absolutely be opt-in, per mailing list, per email.

So this is another headline designed to get a kneejerk reaction outta people.
Basically if I’m a store that sends out a weekly email to subscribers, Google will “read” that email for SEO purposes.

You take that 10k you were going to drop on a crap used car, use that as down payment on a new car. Get a longer loan with lower interest and keep monthly payment lower. The larger the down payment, the lower the monthly will be, and now you have 10 years to set aside money for the next new car or “out of warranty” repairs.
There are still new cars that have a sticker less than 30k, after warranties and any desired upgrades, probably closer to 35k-40k for anything not a truck, EV, or sport car.
There’s also people who lease, they pay lots of money to rent a car for around 3 year, after that they trade in for a new car and the old car gets sold as used.

You can do school loans if you start paying bigger. Not sure what your debt is or how large your financial cushion needs to be, but if extra cash is sitting in checking not earning interest, its loosing value while your student loan interest keeps ticking up.
For me after setting aside money for savings, I kept what I needed + plus a small amount for whatever and the rest got dumped into loans, had that shit payed off in a few years. Think my total interest payed was around 3k, I know some people basically end up doubling their debt over the 10 years with some crazy interest rates. (Went to state school, so loans were about 50k for everything, I know some private schools are triple that)
(Also open a saving account or something, your checking account shouldn’t have access to all your funds in the event of debit card theft, especially if you use that online)

- Comment on YSK: Here's a list of browser extensions to un-shittify Youtube 3 weeks ago:
Enhanser for YouTube is another good one. Set things like speed and video size as defaults.
Add buttons, like speed, and volume boost to the player bar (a few settings to change, out of the box it makes its own floating toolbar).
Enable a mini-player as you scroll comments. Tons of other things too.

It works really good.
Any channel with constant 10k views typically get submission with in a day, channels with 1mil views typically get submissions with the hour.
Its not hard to submit times your self, its all built in to the player bar.
Multiple categories that you can choose what get automatically skipped or not.
Some categories are; sponser, self-promotion, into/recap, credits, filler/tangents, non-music (for music videos) and highlight, which is a marker showing where the “point” of the video is.

- Comment on Terrorists 4 weeks ago:
Its an objective that is causing a major fucking problem for the people who want to sell their tesla but can’t without going bankrupt. You’re hurting thousands (hundred of thousands?) of people to stick it to one man.
People setting fire to a car forces fire fighters to have to put that out. That’s a waste of resources, possibly delaying other calls, and its a fucking fire. It doesn’t take much for the situation to become dangerous
Not hard to imagine the risk of something exploding or “sorry we couldn’t get to your hose 5 minutes earlier to save your baby because were scrambling around town dealing with arson”.
It’s not worth the risk.
- Comment on Terrorists 4 weeks ago:
The problem with selling a Tesla is the greatly reduced sell value, who wants to buy a car with such a shit reputation they’re getting set on fire? Either the crazy Musk/trump idolizers or someone who lives under a rocks and will gladly a buy an extremely expensive sedan for cheap. Unfortunately, unless their dumb enough to put a giant maga sticker on the car (but then how do you know someone isn’t vandalizing cars with stickers like that to watch other people harass the owner), there’s no way to know anything about the person driving it. They could be renting it because their’s broke down and that’s the car that was available, we simply do not know.
Tesla owners are basically being forced into loosing around 20k. Even selling it, they still have to pay off the rest of their loan. If they still have 30k to pay, and only sell for 20k, there’s still 10k on loan. then another 5k for a down payment on a new car. Do you have 15-20k sitting in the bank your able to spend and loose 20k in assets without it being a financially stupid idea? Not many do.
Only if the loan is payed off the loan or almost done could it make some since to sell the car at a 50% loss. It sucks, and should be done to get rid of the Tesla, but I still feel bad for the folks who wanted the EV for the environment/at home charging/no gas and got sold into the Tesla marketing.
And okay, my UHC example is easily broke on an individual level, but companies still choose the provider. Do we go set fire to random businesses that picked United Healthcare? That’s not gonna hurt UHC, it’ll just hurt the families of the workers who no longer have a job.
If you want a different example, insert Nestle or something, same idea applies.
And I’m going to emphasize this again, nothing musk does is justification for risking anyone’s life with burning cars.
- Comment on Terrorists 4 weeks ago:
It’s regular people who are stuck with a Tesla. They got sold in to the EV crowd, and until the last 5 years Tesla’s were pretty much the only major fully electric option do the charging network. They were lied to by Musk with promises that never came. One thing they did get is a nifty video security system, I bet the cops are loving all the video evidence. Not everyone can just sell their car at a major loss to get something different, life ain’t that easy.
I’m gonna say it; if an Arab man set someone’s car on fire, or started attacking dealerships they’d be charged with terrorism with out a second thought. 5 years ago if a white man in a red marvel hat keyed a Tesla or set it ablaze, the same crowd keying/lighting cars today would be calling for blood. Sick of the “rules for you, none for me” bullshit.
Destruction of property is not a protest against Tesla, its a crime against the people who own the car, a burden on taxpayers, fire fighters are risking their lives to put out those Tesla fires because “protesters” got upset at 1 dude they can’t reach and decided to take it out on the closest person they could.
Should we start stabbing people with United Healthcare now?
