NateNate60 , to World News in Chinese Brands Will Sell A Third Of The World's Cars By 2030: Study

Registration of prohibited car models is not allowed. You might be able to import them, but there might be punitively high tariff and it would not be legal to drive

NateNate60 , to World News in Chinese Brands Will Sell A Third Of The World's Cars By 2030: Study

The competition is welcome. We need it to continue to drive innovation. At least in America, traditional American brands haven't put out anything interesting for years. Just the same models being rehashed, but slightly bigger and more fuel efficient.

NateNate60 , to Technology in We Need to Talk About the State of Calendar Software on Desktop

Yeah, what's wrong with GNOME's calendar? It's basic and it works... fine. I use it for my daily tasks.

Window's default calendar is similarly mediocre.

NateNate60 , to Android in FCC proposes 60-day unlocking rule for all mobile phones

It's essentially a payment plan here in the US. Switch to a new carrier, get an iPhone for free as long as you stay subscribed to their most expensive tier for a year. How it usually works is that the phone is sold to you on an installment plan, say $80 per month, and the "free" part of that is where they also give you an $80 bill credit each month. If you cancel early then you have to pay off the remaining balance of the phone in a lump sum.

NateNate60 , to World News in Hong Kong says school children sang anthem too softly

In a normal context, I would agree with you but when louder singing is enforced by the State then I take issue with that.

Believe it or not, it happening in one country doesn't mean it's okay to happen in another country

Don't forget—this is a nuke threat. Israel has nukes.

You don't seem to know the meaning of the word "spend".

How much have I bought in crypto to hold myself? I don't hold any crypto. The answer is zero.

The figure that appears in column E of Form 8949? Over a million USD.

You answers seethe of jealousy. You keep trying to pin the label "crypto bro" on me because you want to dismiss me as someone not worth listening to, and the money I earned as illegitimate and fake. You argue not because you think you're right, but because you can't bear to be wrong. To you, crypto is a scam with no use and everything it touches turns to shit, and everyone who says otherwise must therefore hold the opposite opinion and think everything it touches turns to gold. Binary thinking at its worst.

Your thinking is simplistic and devoid of nuance. You're right about one thing though. I am condescending. Because you deserve it.

Reply if you desperately need to put in the last word with a feigned aura of coolness, and laugh it off, because there are no more arguments to be made. Only insults left. You won't receive a response, and I won't even read whatever you write, because this conversation is over.

Go buy a Cybertruck or something.

Nothing

Read carefully, because it seems that reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Wiktionary defines "crypto bro" as "an enthusiastic cryptocurrency supporter, usually male, especially a dogmatic and condescending one".

You may notice I do not fit any of those categories, besides perhaps being male.

For the adoption of cryptocurrency by businesses and states, I am apathetic, even mildly in opposition. As for being dogmatic, I entirely am not, because I don't give a shit.

But I will admit, you have successfully tempted me into being condescending towards you.

Why would I make up the number 1 most common interaction between a Cybertruck owner and a normal person?

But here's a picture I took of his car while he was attending church (across the street from the grocery store):

And yes, you can tell it is new because it doesn't have a number plate yet.

The picture was taken on 30 March, the interaction happened a few days earlier

(past tense)

But how do you define "crypto bro"? Sure not "any person who's ever held cryptocurrency", right? Because that would make 25% of the US population crypto bros.

I absolutely reject this categorisation. I don't give a shit about crypto or any of the ideas behind it. It's interesting from a technical perspective as a person who holds a computer science degree, but I'm in it for the money. Holding crypto is gambling, and nothing more.

The only crypto I hold now is for online poker sites and for buying precious metals on r/pmsforsale on Reddit.

What makes you think I'm a crypto bro?

I was walking to the grocery store when I saw a neighbour polishing his in front of his house. I said "Wow, a Cybertruck," and he replied, "Cool, isn't it?"

I said, "No, it's a $120,000 go-kart made of scrap metal that will rust in a month."

Edit: sounds fake but I do have a picture of the car in question, but I took it on a different day—
