$111,916 truck at 10.6 APR.
one of the least sympathetic microgenres of post is, "I financed an extremely expensive truck at fairly normal APRs and am paying HOW MUCH in interest?!"

my uncle is broke as shit in his 60s in large part from making this exact sort of decision multiple times

We’re not doing great in Texas, folks.
A prominent Texas Republican is running for Railroad Commission in order to fight the "Islamic invasion." He's vying for a seat vacated by a former commissioner, who is now running for Texas Comptroller on a vow to protect girls' sports.

The latest on Texas' (increasingly Islamophobic) primaries:

Tarrant County GOP chair Bo French, known for his incendiary online presence, recently tendered his resignation to seek a position on the regulatory body that oversees the oil-and-gas industry.

Do you ever think about how the most famous and influential anti-imperial resistance literature in Western history is the Book of Revelation?

I’m very worried about the collapse of shark populations, and governments should do everything in their powers to curb the killing of sharks. That said, if I ever saw Baby Shark,

“Spiritual philosophy” that’s religion buddy

“Buddhism is not a religion” is fascinating to me because it’s a kind of Christian supremacy: what’s going unsaid here is “Buddhism is too dissimilar from Christianity, the ideal of religion, to be considered a religion.”

Again, the lesson here for Dems is to always send a hot guy to negotiate with Trump. If they’d have sent Mamdani do handle the government shutdown we’d have the Green New Deal by now.
does mamdani smell really good in person or something. like he seems very charming yes but what the fuck lol

Kind of confused by this. I’m interested in the Steam Machine but the specs are less powerful than the PS5, a five year old already making nods towards the next generation. If the Steam Machine is more expensive than the PS5, what’s the point?

I love Morrowind but the dice system can be absolute bs. I have 75 in speech and I’m wearing nobleman’s clothing, this should be an auto pass.

This isn’t that surprising. Trump has always had a thing for hot guys. I’m not saying he’s secretly gay, he just always gets flustered and happy around attractive men. Many such cases.
So I’m very committed to critiquing elected officials, and cringe at cults of personality and all that leftist jazz— but is Zohran, like, a sorcerer?

I liked Dragon’s Dogma 2 a lot. I wish they had patched it more so it ran a little better. I would buy DLC for it in a heartbeat.

That said, a studio releasing a game and then being done with it and moving on seems way healthier than the industry standard of years of post-launch support.

If Matthew Yglesias did not exist it would be necessary to invent him.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.
