Right, it was more of a metaphor between the Fed and Apple

As an American, makes me think of real dollars backed by silver and gold and then everything else that’s been printed and printed and printed (and printed) since the 70’s. Same manufacturer.

Get it to the corners of the lips and thick, you got a Tom Selleck, just around the edge, you have a Ron Swanson, 2cm past, you’re into Fu Manchu territory

I agree. Fear mongering is a huge turn off. It’s weak, low effort, and for me, incites a sense of rebellion. There’s already sooo much low hanging fruit ripe for relation to just about anyone, why stoop to fear tactics? Let the rotten fruit lie on the ground.

I’m sure it’s at least that percentage that feels the same in our small mountain town in the southern Appalachian mountains.

Could it be that the world is beautiful and worth exploring, and the ability and means to travel has never been as accessible?

Love my 2nd gen Toyota. Runs well. Needs just basic maintenance. It can hold it’s own in any “Made in Murica” pissing contest. And the only annoying thing is the TPMS sensor light, if you could even call that annoying. It’s manual, 4wd, doesn’t record me, no backtalk. As loyal as a truck can be.

Careful with pressies

I use it too. Tried a few different ones and like boost the best. I finally just paid for the non-ad tier. One time cost of 3.99. I would have been turned off by a subscription.

You’re right, that comparison is incongruent. And looking at it again, I can understand the dad’s reaction. It just struck me as funny that he said “almost hit” and then that the kid was two rooms away.

I see your point, it is fucked and if I were him, I’d probably be just as outraged about the risk to my child.

Respectfully, I don’t think that’s how I would react emotionally/psychologically. I’m sure I’m not alone here. I’m a lucky guy, but what’s the chance of space debris hitting my house twice at different times?

“It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,”

I mean, relative to coming from space I guess it almost hit his son. How does he feel about every car he drives past on a two lane road? “Oh shoot! Almost collided with that one too!”
