    the official car of ohio is a chevrolet cavalier with two rusted out wheel wells and a day-old mountain dew in two separate cup holders

    I'm making a joke, here, as i sometimes do on this website, and i thought it was apparent—guess not. i've been very careful not to say "fuck texas lol" because i believe not even republicans deserve to freeze to death in their homes without water or power—even if some of them have laughed or even held up emergency aid as other states burned and flooded.

    i'm surprised he didn't. his state just voted for donald trump, twice. if there was ever a time

    this is it. you're elected to do... something. anything. he has power and is (rightly) expected by his constituents to use it. but when you're in office solely to be a culture warrior, that doesn't come with an inclination to act, just talk.

    dude just rebooked his flight back to texas, was originally scheduled to come back this weekend. so tough! donald trump, MY president, never backed down from golfing every weekend

    for sure, people who are rich can simply flee disaster zones. and if he weren't senator, let alone a senator who revels in being difficult and reviled, rafael "ted" cruz and his goldman sachs wife wouldn't have any of this scrutiny attached to them and probably have a similar amount of money. however...
  11. Elena Delle Donne
    man, so, you may like and even have voted for rafael "ted" cruz, as is your right. but under no circumstances do you have to ride for him this hard. this trip was dumb and callous and almost as embarrassing as when he wins re-election with shit like this

    ebay is loaded with dropshippers now too. i hope the backlash to cheap junk is coming but i am unsure, people love cheap junk

    years before i learned about their exploitative labor practices and IP theft etc etc i stopped shopping with them for this reason. they don't give a shit what they list on that website. if you don't like your cheap trash, return and they'll send you new trash and stuff that broken thing in a landfill. it's bottom of the barrel.

    much has been said about the smug, doughy texas politicians who once mocked california's rolling blackouts. as much as i would love to personally dunk their heads in toilets, it seems unproductive to point out how dumb they are, even if they are blaming this on the "green new deal," which does not exist.

    hope the texans here are alright as they can be. this is a disaster

    hell yeah! post that project as you build it, @nicklesndimes. that top tube is so long! also: don't toss your components just yet—am hearing that parts are once again real hard to find if you're taking everything apart hit it with some framesaver too. midaswell

    obviously there is a lot of space here between "not illegal" and "good or okay," that's for us to have fun with

    i also won't carry this on forever, but wanted to add: i understand that a lot of this can feel manipulative. but the buying public has caught up. people are generally harder to reach, more skeptical, and more cynical about buying and selling than ever—and i think this is a good thing, strictly speaking. most corporations care no more about you or me than they did 100 years ago, but their uniform dominance of a handful of media channels will simply never happen again; the monoculture is over and that is an existential threat to the biggest brands. (parts of this are very much not a good thing but that's not the thread topic.) i will add that i am deeply uncomfortable with things like variable pricing in e-commerce and ridesharing (good essay here, if dramatic in parts) but that, too, is a new skin on an old phenomenon. gas stations and grocery stores and yes, targets, do the same thing and have for 100+ years. it is certainly shady and a thing that will get me to shop your competitor—but it is as american as apple pie and legal given that discrimination is not applied on criteria like race, gender, etc
