Wholesome AF. Enjoying the discussion.

I haven’t seen the GX but the LCs design is growing on me. Really glad they stick with the box instead of making a coupe out of it somehow.

My comment was 10,000% sarcasm. Of course they don’t add jobs, trickledown economics is a complete crock of shit lol

Bahahaha I felt that I didn’t have to add /s to the end of that, I was obviously wrong…

My take? The issue I have with the mega rich is that they (generalization here) aren’t playing by the same rules as you or I. I don’t have an issue, with not paying all of your employees 6 figures. Different jobs, skills, training, and capabilities are (and should be) worth different amounts of money. It’s important that people with good ideas, or business capabilities have avenues of expanding, bettering themselves, and enjoying the fruits of their labor.

When you pay money to write rules that are favorable to you, you become the problem. Money in politics is the problem. Imo, that has enabled all of this. Don’t have good healthcare? Likely it was lobbied for because someone wanted more money. Stuck in prison? Oh yeah, money in politics got you there. Minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation? Something, something trickledown-bullshit, money in politics. Kids killed in school constantly? Oh you know…FUCKING MONEY IN POLITICS.

Favorable can be lobbying against health & safety or environmental regulations because it impacts your bottom line. It is donating to political campaigns for tax cuts (you know, fucking bribery). It’s blocking minimum wage hikes to secure your bottom line.

All of that said, how people sleep at night with absurd amounts of money and minimal charity is disgusting. I don’t fault someone for enjoying an oppulant lifestyle…I do fault someone for Scrooge McDucking and hoarding cash…for what? Bragging rights? Power?

TLDR: be gaddamn ethical about it.

That’s not a dog…it’s a raccoon! Oh my god, look at that raccoon wearing a hat!

I really like how well this puts things in perspective.

But if they lose money they can’t invest it and create jobs.

Bahaha nice catch.

Yup. Absolutely horrible.

I agree that he’s a cancer to society and the US would be better off with him out of office.

However, “removed by a “candidate” who has nothing to live for” sounds an awful lot like advocating for violence which I absolutely disagree with.

Vote, get others to vote, advocate, protest, donate if able, and don’t give clicks to articles/platforms on fascists.

That is absolutely hilarious. They should’ve offered him @twitter in exchange, it would only be fair…

Just blocked the [email protected] and my feed is soooo much better.

Really frustrating that all of those above was spammed into all of those communities.

That’s awesome :) - have you found parts any harder to come by as the years go on?

Ive never worked on vws so I don’t have a ton of context, but have always heard they’re popular to work on - something like age+popularity=harder/more expensive to get parts

Just rewatched this with my wife the other day, such a good movie!

Love the blue.

Why’d/how’d you pick this for your project? Was it laying around, a good deal, or vw passion?

This is the most interesting one I’ve read so far.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe this year is the year I make the same jump. Really good, practical use of the tool.

Finding what makes you happy and focusing on making sure you’re unapologetically taking care of yourself is a good place to start.

This goes for work, relationships, hobbies, friends, whatever.

Can’t say I’ve always done a great job of it but for me it feels like it has made a difference the older I’ve gotten.

And of course, social media (including lemmy) is horrible for self confidence so don’t binge if you can help it.
