  1. Peak. Well done.
  2. You joke, but I’m going to buy a Murano Cabriolet if I can find one.
  3. The humblest of brags. Save some pussy for the rest of us!
  4. They aren’t inherently bad, in fact, they are great in some specific ways (better fuel efficiency, smoother acceleration, reduced wear and tear on engine and so on. They work really well in tandem with hybrid cars and are great for small cars that primarily do daily commutes. They are also a lot cheaper to put in new cars because they are relatively simple compared to a traditional automatic and turn something very expensive and hard to replace into something hypothetically cheap and easy to replace. On the other hand- they aren’t very robust and do not hold up well in situations that produce high levels of mechanical stress - ie towing and aggressive driving. Because they reduce production costs, and it’s tempting for manufacturers to use them inappropriately or put them in places where they aren’t easy to replace. If I was buying a Corolla or equivalent I wouldn’t think twice about a CVT. But I wouldn’t want one in a truck, and putting CVTs in a hard to reach location and/or selling a bunch of cars with cvts to people with bad credit seems like a bad strategy.
  5. The sad thing is that they aren’t *terrible* cars, notorious CVT issues notwithstanding. Going all-in on subprime and focusing on short-term profitability made them toxic to higher value customers.
  6. Your mom only pays $350 for dick.
  7. Did I miss an hugely disruptive, paradigm shifting scientific breakthrough?
  8. a new reason is born every minute
  9. They are circling the wagons like crazy this morning.
  10. Wordle 1,643 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  11. The reviews are in! The gynocomastia community approves
  12. Want to confuse a car salesman? Go on the lot and make a cash offer for a Nissan Altima.
  13. What a shame. We should have a rainbow coalition of well-connected young asskissers from kissass families of all colors and family backgrounds.
  14. We’re fine! Everyone needs a new diff at 30k miles.
  15. Like 600k dead kids and millions of starving and suffering people around the world, I ain’t reading all that.
  16. Don’t drop that shit!
  17. So then what happens? We spend a few years to find out they are protected but not bound? Seriously, in situations like this people have many options when it comes time to seek justice. Why on earth would they choose the law?
  18. When you’ve already iced 600k kids and then celebrated it with cake, does it make this one harder to enjoy @Anastasis?
  19. I didn’t. That’s one of the shocking realities of brand loyalty. Loyalty is very durable and brand loyal people are, by and large, willing to put up with injury. Isn’t that weird? And yet it plays out that way over and over, at individual and population level scales. You can hurt them, over and over, and then the sun shines, and people forget.
  20. Of course not. What’s a few hundred thousand dead kids, right?
  21. Their economic status quo has been getting worse for five decades- that’s how brand loyalty works. It’s an elasticity killer. That’s literally how you measure the value of the brand: how much more loyal customers are willing to pay, just for the brand. There are only a couple of things that can damage brand loyalty: insult, indifference, and incoherence. What’s happening to the Republican Party right now is all three- they keep saying “we’re winning,” when they are losing, and they are speaking to their least loyal (ie most persuadable)customers in a way that ignores their concerns and tells them explicitly that their values don’t matter. Democrats do that constantly of course, but at the moment, they aren’t in charge so they don’t have to defend themselves.
