no there was a different one obsessed with a luxury porsche suv and defending it instead of just getting a subaru like a normal person

My Subaru has a little laser that scans my face, recognizes me, and adjusts the seats and mirrors for me and puts my stereo presets on. What the gently caress does the Porsche do beyond that? Suck your dick?

I'm paying $320 a month at 0% interest for 63 months and can write a check to pay the entire loan off tomorrow if I feel like it, so I don't particularly worry about missing a payment. Why do you ask?

You understand that the 1990 factory that made the 486 chips that NASA uses isn't just still cranking out 486s and waiting for NASA to buy more, right?

what do you mean, those factories still exist down the bus from my engine and satellite lines you can just divert one of the conveyors to the car line and be good

you joke but it's astonishing how many people think manufacturing is like video games

the best recent example is the board game stuff where all of the indignant twitter nerds don't understand why America doesn't just have spare manufacturing capacity laying around to produce ten trillion pounds of formed plastic bullshit with raw materials that are also laying around.

That or why we can't just throw up four walls in a week and call it a factory when we identify a hole in the supply chain. It takes months or years to start up new production lines much less new facilities.

Changing anything, at all, on my lines requires a dozen people and months of work depending on how elaborate of a change. We are shifting one of our core components in our main product to something cheaper, better and more efficient to use. The change over is expected in 5-6 months. I've been preparing for it for over a year.

I drive an old classic Jeep Cherokee that's been a project of sorts and almost up to 300k miles now, and in the last months I've had multiple notes pinned on it in parking lots that say "hey man nice Jeep if you want to sell it here's my number". people really want a small but utilitarian SUV it seems. it's sad the cash for clunkers killed most of these things, there's really nothing else like it. i'm going to keep it going until it's (likely) stolen or completely explodes (very unlikely, although a fuel line did rupture once)

i have been doing some psycho-historian calculations and i think i have something. the soviet union withdrew from Afghanistan in February 1989, but their puppet government survived until April 1992. that means the soviet puppet government survived 39 months after the withdrawal of soviet forces. the soviet union collapsed in August 1991, 31 months after their withdrawal from Afghanistan.

now compare this to the USA occupation situation. US forces began withdrawing in may 2021, and by august 2021 Kabul was captured. this means the US puppet government collapsed in 4 months. comparing this with the soviet puppet regime there is a 10:1 corruption/incompetence ratio at play here. the USA empire is clearly 10x as corrupt as the soviet union. by extrapolating this ratio using the power of psycho-history i can predict that the US government will collapse entirely by November 2021

ah but you see, the american system requires corruption to function, it is inherent so it's actually a good thing that it's corrupt because that's businesses having a say

It was so loving bad in post-communist Russia that I remember lovely rear end white supremacist shill mag Soldier of Fortune (my dad had a sub because he was a dipshit) running articles about how poor post-Soviet working people had to resort to sex work to keep their heads above water in 1993 or so.

I wasn't referring to Russia. I was under the impression Poland, Hungry, etc were quickly integrated into the Western Europe's economic orbit in the 90s.
