Quote:Long story short my 2006 Ford Focus is dead and the cost to fix it would be around what I could have sold it for. I'd hoped it could have survived a bit longer as now is a terrible time to buy a car and I don't have much money, but I am car-less so it's got to be now.
I'm looking for recommendations: what to try to get, where to buy. I want a small hatchback, used or new, as cheap as I can get it. I want nothing fancy, I'd be happy to toss every bell and whistle out the door. I just want something solid and reliable.
Any help?

It's not that hard to understand.

venture isn't a real person, similar to how non-binary isn't a real gender. so that "excuse" actually checks out.

It's funny how night and day the Ukraine and Hamas Support threads are. Ridcully is joking but that would be a serious statement in the HamasEra thread that if anyone disagreed with would see a ban.

Daima also sounds to have a banger.
Despite not using the song, Dan Dan perfectly syncs with the Daima opening in a way that it can't be a coincidence.

What exactly do they (multiple) want?
I don’t understand what the struggle is. People don’t care enough to discriminate. There isn’t even a slur.

This is a video game character it literally isn't a real person.

What? Gran Autismos love Steven Universe, how can anyone not love a character a lot like but legally distinct from Steven Universe?
divorced from the non-binary retardation, I think venture has a pretty neat and cohesive character design
I think the only overwatch designs that are straight up shit are moira and sigma idk
Imagine if you didn’t get banned for posting ‘they’re stopping surgeries because the doctors think they make it worse not better’

Unsurprisingly none of them bothered to highlight this -
"Earlier this year NHS Lothian paused referrals for gender-affirming surgery undertaken outside Scotland. This was to enable a review of our assessment and referral processes to ensure they were supported by good clinical governance and to enhance patient safety."
So basically the NHS want to check where these patients are coming from. What procedures they've had and who carried them out.
Meanwhile -
Quote:We've been sending billions in aid... This has now become a quagmire that half of the USA doesn't support. Ukraine was on a path to peace but the west put them on the war path when Western officials urged Zelenskyy to tear up the minsk accords several years ago. Russia doesn't want anti ballistic missile systems on their borders to neutralize their defensive capabilites, and we just collectively said "fuck your feelings" and beat the war drum while waiting for Russia to make the first move.
No excuses for Putin for actually taking the bait, but make no mistake the west collectively set the stage for this conflict and has been acting fairly recklessly with its stifled support which has only elongated the conflict.
Now we are at a crossroads, and cooler heads are nowhere to be found. This ain't looking too good. Nuclear war is unlikely, but US boots on the ground and the resuming of the Korean-Russo war is just what the military industrial complex was looking for after Afghanistans "abrupt" end.
Meanwhile we sit here and cheer for our team while people are dying in the tens of thousands. Not that you and I can do fuck all about it.

Andrew Garfield Says Hacksaw Ridge Director Mel Gibson ‘Has Done a Lot of Healing,’ ‘Deserves to Make Films’

I thought Reee hated people who liked or worked with Mel Gibson? Why are they showing love to Andy when we know that you're guilty by association? Andrew should be persona non grata.
Did they just miss that current news story?
Oh, that's right!! Reeee hates Jews now so it's ok. For a minute I thought Reee was being hypocritical and we know for a fact, they would never just ignore inconvenient truths about someone they love, especially if they played a superhero character.
The Andrew Garfield thread is double funny because they’re all bitching and moaning that he was the best Spiderman, and never gets roles anymore.

I have performed an impromptu reddit survey and literally everyone says "they" and its absolutely disgusting
they're so cucked by reddit mods and fear of getting reported for using the wrong pronoun, you can feel this palpable artificiality to all discussion surrounding they/them, not to mention it's just hard as fuck to follow (who's "they?" blizzard's design team?)
very rarely someone says "she" and it's immediately followed by "* they" which gets a million upvotes for correcting the heckerino problematic uwu

yes actually, you would have to be a fucking child to have such a silly worldview and expectations
"oh I'm feeling disillusioned and dissatisfied with myself, oh I know I'll mutilate myself to pretend I'm another gender, surely that will solve my deep-seated personal issues rather than just make me a target of ridicule and exacerbate every problem as I spiral further into insular hugbox communities and remove myself from all dating and employment pools"

by the way, on the subject of trans
trans people everywhere are celebrating that as a community they have finally brought down dr. kathy rumer, known as The Butcher of Ardmore (Pennsylvania), by causing so much bad press and negative attention that she has been forced to sell both her practice and her mansion
https://old.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/1g5xfmw/the_butcher_doth_fall/
https://linktr.ee/resignrumer
warning: do not go too far down this rabbit hole (so to speak)
dr. rumer is known to utterly botch many of her gender surgeries, leaving patients with misshapen parts, painful complications, nipples falling off, necrosis...
if you complain about what she did to you, she cancels post op consultations and aftercare and lawyers up, she is constantly embroiled in lawsuits from both directions, suing and being sued
by the way her lawyer is far right so that justifies everything or something
she's emblematic of the way most trans surgeries go, it's a money churn, get them in, get the work done, get paid and refer them to their local doctor for further aches and pains, who never signed up for any of this and are probably going to say "yeah, you're going to have chronic issues for the rest of your life, take these pain meds and leave me alone"
