Sorry every year the amount of touchscreens increases.

Yeah, screens like that are just a fucking nightmare in the long run.

Hope y’all are looking forward to spending thousands of dollars on a replacement in 5-8 years (as opposed to 30$ or whatever a speedometer costs) because it’s a weird ass sized screen that hasn’t been made in years.

The administration is obsessed with getting things done through "proper channels" and not by presidential fiat.
To that end they are being EXTREMELY manipulative.

The only way to get Massie's bill through congress (proper channels) is with all the Democrats + a handful of Republicans.
Over the past two weeks they have very skillfully changed the Epstein Files into the Democrats' main obsession. The Daily Show can't shut up about them.

I think it's extremely gay but I'm pretty sure that's what's happening.

ive seen AI memes making fun of Jews on TikTok and Twitter that were fucking hilarious, sadly they get taken down rather quickly, there was one that was basically a country song with Jews making shocked faces like they had been found out

I can't comment on France and Germany, but considering the German centre-right made a coalition with leftists over the populist right, and the French left and centrists created two separate blocs and allowing one another to run uncontested in certain areas just to keep the French populist-right out of power, we're seeing that the right-wing is rising in these places and the status-quoists are doing all that they can to delay the inevitable switchover. Whilst outside looking in the German situation looks bleak, I'm aware that to Americans looking at the UK, the situation appears similarly hopeless, so perhaps things don't look as dire as they appear? Regardless, I still think we're going to be waiting until the end of the decade at minimum to see actual change, which unfortunately means more waiting.

The current establishment wins across Europe are the last bit of their mandate. People are always more scared of the devil they don't know than the devil they do know so they have given them one last chance.
The establishment has promised they will fix things. And in some places they even try to do something.
But the simple fact is that they will never actually fix things. If they could Europe wouldn't be the way it is.
The incestuous coalitions of old left right just make it clear to the people that ideology is bullshit and it doesn't matter. All that matters is if you want the status quo to remain.
And nobody wants that because no matter how rich, sheltered and connected you are things have gotten objectively worse over time. Cost of living has gone up, crime has gone up, social cohesion has gone down, there are fewer things to look forward to each day. The bread is mouldy and the circus has been put down to make room for more niggers.
And in spite of their plans to outright replace the people. The scum they imported is not yet numerous enough and clearly not motivated enough to die for them. So they have no path forward to victory anymore.

The car talk is infinitely better than the Captain Planet and hand dox discussions. Fairly or unfairly, buying certain sports or muscle cars used to be seen as sort of a midlife crisis thing. I bet in the very near future it'll be seen far more favorably. You'll see some middle aged dude driving an old muscle car and know that he just wants a car that fucking works instead of trying to feel 18 again (probably).

It's amazing though that now we're living in The Future™ with touch screens and shit, yet it's less preferable than knobs and levers.

The only "traditional" export industry they have left is cars; they also export a decent amount of integrated circuits, semiconductor making machinery, and (duh) auto parts. Their consumer electronics industry is fairly much confined to domestic sales these days as it just can't compete internationally.

Not a lot of people know this but they also do a lot of fuel refining. Japan’s #1 export to Australia, for instance, is gasoline.

My first car was a '76 Camaro Berlinetta in original perfect condition (I am old). The space in that thing to fix your own shit was awesome. Everything was so easy to get to, I could even do some of the simpler tasks like replacing plugs or the alternator myself. Drove that thing to over 250K miles.

When I lived out of state in the southern region of the US, there were gas stations that sold additive-free fuel (Sinclair), no ethanol. I could see that my mileage in my crappy Chrysler LHS was 5-8 mpg better using pure gasoline.

I'm actually pretty happy not driving anymore, having to pay attention to all the newfangled thingamabobs in the cockpit while trying to navigate city streets isn't my idea of a fun time. Plus I save TONS of money - registration and insurance and maintenance and fuel and on and on... I love my ebike. My manservant gets me anything else I may need. I highly recommend (both an e-bike and manservant).

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

just cause you said that, tommorow im asking USPG2 why we havent been to the moon in 50+ years and why the press conference when the astronauts came back was so depressing

I know we all like to go down the conspiracy lane and all that, Astrology for nerds, the Myers-Briggs, would probably peg most of the people in this thread as INTJs so it makes sense. But the real answer is niggers. We have to pay for Shaniqua and her eight kids from six baby-daddies. The Spic-Nig cycle isn't cheap.

Not only that, but "retard" is such a fun audience to be. Fedposting is more fun than optic cucking. Making soyjaks of your opponents is more fun than trying to find common ground. Shitposting is more fun than writing a well thought out manifesto. Respectful debates between serious people acting seriously died with the Obama administration.

the shitposting layer is an important heuristic in the post-post-modern internet immune system and you are probably in danger if you cannot parse it. you can still have a respectable debate while shitposting because it's a social give-and-take just like any other mediated social hierarchy but the difference is that its not possible to tell if someone is shitposting earnestly or earnestly posting dogshit. You have to collapse the wave form.

the reason respectable debates died with the obama administration is because the obama administration's entire gimmick was pretending that they were earnest and respectable while doing everything in their power to maximize obstinant cloak-and-dagger respect-my-pronouns bullshit. it's just basic evolution that the internet evolved so that the basic medium of communication was just people holding daggers and going "lol nice cloak"

Muscle cars run on rubber vacuum lines and carburetors and there's a very good reason that we dont use those technologies anymore. you can still go buy a honda with probably the exact same family of engine that they used in 1978, but we've nearly redesigned the entire fuel delivery and engine control technology with tech that's more robust and efficient and lasts long and is easier to repair. you just can't fix it yourself with a welding torch and a pair of pliers

The welding-torch-and-pair-of-pliers approach is what built the modern world and what got civilization to airplanes and bell telecommunications so you should have respect for the method. but that shit doesn't work on a honda civic, man. it is not up to snuff for the era of ethernet and qr codes. there are things that are actually built for the modern world and you should seek to see them improved instead of trying to hallucinate and manifest a failed utopist RV free love timeline

Growing up, my parents told me "you don't want to be a loser" and made me go to college. And I've done fine. But the kids that went to vocational school in my age group almost universally did better than us college kids did; they did better sooner and continue to do better now. They had families earlier and are also now raising teenagers and sending kids off to college while the group with degrees are just starting to have kids (if they're lucky) or remain childless.

There is definitely something wrong with the way we're guiding out children into adulthood.

They are stealing money from you tho.

The truth is from their perspective they were doing the right thing, had they gone to college right after highschool chances are they would have been swimming in the loot. What helped the college push of the last 30 years was the outsourcing and decay of manufacturing and the rise of tech. Those highschool diploma jobs are gone and were to be replaced with degree jobs.
What your parents didn't account for was the tech jobs and associated were outsourced or subject to immigrant scab labour, be it spics or jeets across the board all sectors have been flooded with cheap labour to your detriment. There are now headlines acknowledging what was known to anyone under the age of 30 for the last decade, there isn't any jobs anymore for anyone who fell for the college scam.

 

[Jace on ice]

Immigrants take all the manual labor jobs
Immigrants take all the blue collar jobs
Immigrants take all the tech jobs
AI takes all the generic white collar jobs

Where are people supposed to work exactly?

I agree wholeheartedly with you. I've spoken with my father about this a few times and I tell him that I'm not mad at him and don't begrudge his decision (because he does feel like he made a big mistake). In his case, he wasn't a college student and went to the army right out of high school and was then dropped into Vietnam. College was always supposed to be what the successful people did and given his upbringing, he was a prime target to buy into the college ideal for his children. It worked out well for my older brothers, but as the youngest times had started to change when my turn came around and getting a job as a lineman or a plumber came off as insane.
