Its the ugliest expensive car I've ever seen. It's like putting a VW Bug through a taffy puller. It also has an awful name The Panamera

gee i just can't imagine why uber is hemorrhaging money

at this point what percent of their total operating costs are going towards paying fines for working illegally in different cites/countries

that's literally what they're there for, though. they're basically being paid to be the de facto global lobby for ~disruption~ and whatever comes next.

demographics around here are bmw or merc for him, cayenne for her to ferry the little trust-fundlings around

a rover is an acceptable substitute apparently.

edit: oh yeah if you live in the burbs swap the BMW for a fully loaded F150 crew cab king ranch edition. i think they cost the same anyway

In a tontine, the longer you live, the larger your profits — but you are profiting precisely off other people’s deaths. Even in their heyday, tontines were regarded as somewhat repugnant for this reason.

Now, a growing chorus of economists and lawyers is wondering if the world wasn’t too hasty in turning its back on tontines. These financial arrangements, they say, have aspects that make a lot of sense despite their history of disrepute.



loll this is great

not quite the same, but there's a fairly common practice where companies take out a life insurance policy on their employees, except when you die they get the payout.

It used to be full of insane pet eugenicists, people who considered pets their children, people who would insist that you're ABUSING AND MURDERING DOGS by feeding them the wrong kind of food, that sort of stuff. These days it's pretty chill tho.

I wish it was still called penis land though.
