  1. newsflash - Tesla continues to suck Finland: Tesla cars fail their technical inspections so much, that they drag the statistics down for all electric cars. Five worst cars are: Tesla 3 (49% fail) Renault Zoe (19%) Tesla S (16%) Tesla X (14%) Porsche Taycan (12%) They also have the highest failure rate with the German TüV, which is a label that stands worldwide for its highest quality. 14.7% of the new Model 3 didn't pass the roadworthiness test in Germany in 2024: https://teslamag.de/news/tuev-report-tesla-model-3-hoechste-durchfaller-quote-verzicht-wartung-kritisiert-62522
  2. Thanks to private equity and corporations bowing to the mentally retarded king, the only press we have remaining is independent journalists. Anyone working for corporate news or a newspaper is either trash or internally censored.
  3. I believe Trump would rather see a bunch of protesters mowed down by ICE bullets than a building go up in fire that would lead to ICE patrolling more peaceful streets and getting mocked, as in pdx and chi.
  4. Fucking tariff Friday
  5. I forget - was it in St. Louis or somewhere else during the police brutality protests in 2020 that the protesters tried to stop a far right instigator from burning down a retail store? But that was at night, and I believe the arsonist was caught on video. The No Kings rally is on a Saturday morning and someone like that would absolutely be stopped and/or on film. I agree with your sentiment though and people esp in big cities should be on the look out for infiltrators.
  6. Highly regarded, incompetent president with a 6th grade equivalent education strikes again https://archive.ph/Imhpr “It’s not sustainable,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business, a clip from which aired Friday, when asked whether levies the two countries readied against each other earlier this year could remain. “But that’s what the number is, it’s probably not, you know, it could stand, but they forced me to do that.”
  7. With the caveat that there's not a lot of rap or hip hop I like that came out post-1990 or so but the song is absolutely awesome.
  8. Orvis closing 30+ stores (~half) and trimming its product line due to tariffs, per their CEO. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/10/16/why-sporting-goods-chain-orvis-is-closing-nearly-half-its-stores/86723366007/ "unprecedented tariff landscape"
  9. I had that stupid motherfucker on ignore for years. I don't recall which thread caused me to take him off. Time to rectify my error.
  10. Thank you. Posting illiterate rambling nonsense like you would be my preference but I don't get paid by the word.
  11. goddamn, too soon
  12. Oops.
  13. Yo, you from dipshitland: Speak english, motherfucker.
  14. They're destroying the internet. The bubble and the unsustainable levels of investment can't stop soon enough.
  15. relatedly
  16. Zaid has an opinion different from what I posted earlier from the comments Context: Members of the Bodega Association were claiming that their stores were being robbed during the George Floyd protests in NYC. Many of these claims were false/inflated. And this gentleman was NOT going to allow the President of the Bodega Association to spread propaganda 🥹 LMAO, he got REAL quiet very quickly. Because he knows that man was RIGHT 😭
  17. cold new song just dropped
  18. The huge part of what you're missing is they (the type of start-ups you're talking about) were shooting to take market share -- legit market and actual profits -- away from other companies. For gai there is no existing market share or profit that they're targeting. Google ai, for example, is taking money away from their own ads and their own ad customers. Maybe these consumer-facing companies find a load of profits in making porn and taking away profits from onlyfans, but I doubt it. No survey has ever shown any more than a small fraction of people are willing to pay actual money to subscribe to ai. In most instances even the businesses that use it have to force it on their employees, and the employees will try it but then use quickly subsides. Because it's crap. It doesn't save most people time. You can't trust it. I mean...lol...gai is a black box. There is no explanation for why it works. It just doesn't.
  19. “F**k Netanyahu and Trump. Turkish hacker, cyber-Islam is here... Free, free Palestine,” the message said.
