It’s more like pranking your granny in the nursing home. Still plenty easy to do, but sad and cruel.

Sounds like you’re looking for something that only exists in the used market, which may be your plan anyway.

The Mitsubishi imiev never took off, but it’s probably the least-frilly EV you can buy. But as Doug Demuro will tell you, it’s a bit quirky. Assuming you’re American, yes, is was released in the States but no, you probably wouldn’t have heard of it. I’m not sure I’d recommend it necessarily, but it’s an option

That said, I have a Chevy Bolt. Pretty easy to find on the used market (and with that, get service if you need it) no dumb features nobody asked for. It does have Android Auto/Apple Car Play, which is actually pretty awesome (I believe it’s the 2022+ models with wireless car play). Their base models are pretty barebones (some don’t even have DC fast charging, watch out for that) but higher trims do have some nice features to them. It’s kind of a car you’ve seen on the road but didn’t know you actually wanted.

By the way, backup cameras became mandated a while ago. I’m not sure the screen size requirements (I’ve seen some cars put it in the rear view mirror, which was kinda cool actually) but since most cars need a screen now to support that, and higher trim levels will use that screen for other things, and making multiple pieces of hardware for the same car is an annoyance for car makers, you’ll probably see a screen on most cars. Just FYI.

As someone who usually hates shallow, easy, nihilistic answers…

Hah! With this Justice Department?

I didn’t know you use Lemmy, dad!

But you guys don’t understand! Sports!!!

Yeah but you basically said the same thing to someone who does the opposite so I’m just going to assume your strategy is to not wipe at all, which is weird

Check out the used market! The 2022-23s had an awesome facelift, plus the EUV version is just a little bigger mostly in the back seats

As I remember/understand it, it’s a civil law, not a criminal one. One that doesn’t really care about standing (who has skin in the game to file a lawsuit). So here’s the neat part: damn near anyone can sue over it!

All fraud are shady things, but not all shady things are fraud. The prior commenter implied that all top corporations commit fraud (at least, that’s how I took it. It was worded a bit abstractly).

So, what fraud (not shady thing, not something you disagree with, but actual fraud) is Target committing? Or are we just trying to be edgy?

That’s how I do it! While still sitting down of course. I used to do it the other way standing up but find this easier and works better

It could even be done as an official act!

Just go with that one.

(I mean honestly, how do you give yourself a sunburn with a spray tan?)

Split days off sounds pretty bad to be honest. Wednesday and Thursday doesn’t sound terrible and has its advantages, but as a M-F worker I would have a hard time meeting up with someone working a schedule like that.

I would suggest taking off Friday-Saturday or Sunday-Monday. Little bit of the best of both worlds, plus you can avoid some of what you mentioned earlier.

Ironically, the Chevy Bolt was a perfect car for that. Reasonably priced, no stupid gizmos like retracting door handles, Android Auto, actual buttons for controls… But of course GM killed it. A new version should come out eventually, but who knows if it’ll keep the spirit of their old Bolts. For now, the used market hit the sweet spot where it’s still a pretty modern car, but it’s gone through most of its depreciation from new so it’s pretty cheap. Especially with the tax credit.

Full disclosure: DC fast charging sucks on this car. On some pre-2022 models it’s non-existent. But it’s still excellent for commuting and medium-short trips!

What is that even supposed to mean? I go to Target, buy some soap, and go home. Somehow that’s fraud?

I’m not saying Target or any other corporation is free from their issues… But fraud isn’t necessarily one of them.

Now that you mention it, I want this too.

Many would be upset that the great Elon didn’t get what he wants to save Social Security. 🙄

My daughter qualified for social security due to her low birth weight. The maximum weight for that is 2 pounds, 10 ounces (1.2kg). She was born at less than half that. Does that mean we’d have to bring her over while she was in NICU for 4 months and on a ventilator? For $30/month of benefits?

What state are you in? Some states have a free ID for voting purposes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still shitty that you have to go through that but see if yours is one of them

Looking around Roku’s site, I found this email address: AdsPR@roku.com

I’m planning on giving them a brief but firm “oh hell no” letter. I wonder how many others will do the same 🤔
