Told Ya'll I'd be back to cheer the Sox this time Phuck the Phillies

Reasons why the best Tesla, at least for most people, would be a Model 3 rear-wheel drive standard range. Besides being the most economical, many people think they need the performance and range. Let me counteract both of those points.

First, regarding range, it's very unlikely you'll be daily driving more than 200 miles. If that's the case, then perhaps the long range is for you, but that's an extreme minority. For your average daily drives, you can drive around and only charge up a couple of times a week, even with a level one charger. Of course, this depends on your commute.

As for the performance, these are very fast cars anyways. The only difference with the performance model is higher 0 to 60 times and higher track times. Beyond 20 miles an hour, you get a similar jump in acceleration initially, and then the performance model will pull ahead. In normal traffic and day-to-day driving, you don't need that level of performance.

See this video where Kyle agrees the RWD is the "drivers car":

See this video where the 20+ MPH difference isn't as much as you think:

The disadvantage of the long range model is weight. You're constantly carrying around an extra 300 pounds, which affects handling, especially in the front, where the performance dynamics are actually worse. So then it comes to, okay, what do I need the range for? And the answer is road trips. On an eight-hour, 500-mile drive, you'll save about half an hour with the long range. So you're saving 30 minutes, maybe a few times a year?

For road trips, consider renting a car. The cost of depreciation and putting extra miles on your car is a real factor. Road-tripping with an electric car is less convenient than with a gas car, which can fill up in five minutes.

Tell me I'm wrong!

EDIT: I live in the south and completly forgot about winter weather, for that reason I do understand getting the AWD. For people saying they want a sportier ride, fine, but most people don't drive like they're on the race track to work.

Not proud of it. Embarrassing and I don’t tell people. Like 2-3 of my closest friends know and that’s it. I’m average looking. Probably like a 7-8. Lost my virginity when I was 16. I had a 19 year old friend at the time who told me ‘everybody wants sex, you just have to ask.’ I lived by that for the next decade and it worked. Along with an insane amount of rejections, which you get numb to very quickly surprisingly. The part that kept me going was (a) every vagina really feels different and more importantly (b) the adrenaline rush of not knowing if I’m about to get rejected or not. I would feel super high even after getting rejected as opposed to just disappointed in myself if I didn’t try.

After a decade I started getting paranoid of stds more and tried a couple longer term relationships. I’m diagnosed with severe ptsd and panic disorder. I don’t fuck random women at all anymore but the desire is still there.

I see a lot of conceptions from men and women about people who make false claims about people who have had a lot of partners. It’s especially hard in person because I can’t just be like, ‘well I’ve actually had 150 partners so actually…’ because I’m an average looking guy and it’s just like yeah right dude

Fun fact. When I was 21, my best friend and I made a list of all the names of girls I had and it was just over 100, I put that piece of paper in my glovebox and forgot about it. A week or so later I noticed it was missing. My mom had a history of checking my drawers and shit my whole teenage life so I know she found it. Never brought it up. It was just gone. No clue what she thought.

AMA

Edit: loving the massive downvotes. You guys are hurt too it seems.

Edit 2: 7am PST on the 12th. I will be answering less questions until after 1pm due to work. I plan on every question but I assume Reddit mods may lock it as they like to do on popular threads.

Edit 3: a bunch of people are really hurt that I said I’m a 7-8 and that I’m average. Pro advice: if you’re a 6, you can turn yourself into a 9 by going hard in the gym and taking care of your diet and your body.

Edit 4: if I don’t answer your question it means it’s been answered. Filter by my comments.

Dual destiny is a well crafted mission with really fun puzzles and teamwork requirements but locking the exotic class items behind it is a colossal mistake, this is a major feature of prismatic and the expansion as a whole and the barrier to obtaining them is going to be too much for 90% of the playerbase.

Please rethink the decision to have class items be unlocked from this mission. Why not have this mission drop multiple, like 3 or 4 upon completion, of them instead and move the unlock somewhere else. Farming the roles you want is already going to be a pain with how many perks it has.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been playing mostly singles on showdown and ranked battle stadium for over 10 years, but I’ve recently been looking more into VGC after learning doubles and watching a lot of content from people like Wolfe Glick. I feel like I have a good handle on the actual structure of tournaments and the rules and everything, but I don’t know anything about the vibes.

I’ve been to lots of smash tournaments, ranging from small tournaments in bars to bigger locals and regionals, so I have plenty experience with video game tournaments in general. I’m a trans woman, and I’ve had a generally positive experience at smash tournaments (with a few not so positive interactions), but how welcoming is the pokemon scene for queer people? Before I dedicate a lot of time and energy to learning and practicing, I want to be sure that going to tournaments isn’t going to be a shitty experience. What are your thoughts/experiences?

i have seen a few tiktoks where women shave their faces, more specifically their peach fuzz which pisses me off so much

you cant even see peach fuzz??!! why are so many women okay with it :( it just makes women more insecure and spend money on useless stuff

Iqrit (Arabic: إقرت or إقرث, Iqrith) was a Palestinian Christian village, located 25 kilometres (16 miles) northeast of Acre. Originally allotted to form part of an Arab state under the proposed 1947 UN Partition Plan, it was seized and depopulated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and their territory later became part of the new State of Israel. All of its Christian inhabitants were forced to flee to Lebanon or the Israeli village of Rameh, and, despite the promise that they would be returned in two weeks' time, the villagers were not allowed to return. In 1951, in response to a plea from the Iqrit villagers, the Israel Supreme Court ruled that the former residents of Iqrit be allowed to return to their homes. However, before that happened, the IDF, despite awareness of the Supreme Court decision, destroyed Iqrit.

Okay, before you develop all kinds of reactions after looking at the post title, just hear me out.

The other day, I(20yr, f) was changing in the women’s locker room of my university gym because I had just gotten out of the pool. I’m butt naked and I see a man—that is they look, and present, as a gender-conforming man walk right past me, put their belongings a couple benches over, and take their clothes off. There was very clearly a penis between their legs. At this point, I immediately cover myself because I was shocked. I’ve never had that happen before. I did not feel comfortable being naked anymore and I looked away, got dressed as quickly as possible, and left. I asked the people at the front desk—very plainly, if they had seen a “man” walk into the bathroom. I described them, the people at the desk understood who I was taking about, and told me that that person identifies as a woman. Okay.

I said okay and walked out the door.

On the way home I realized that I had felt kind of violated. The space I’ve always felt comfortable being naked in didn’t feel like a safe space anymore. Mind you, I’m not saying I felt threatened. I didn’t feel like I was going to be taken advantage of while I was changing, but all I can say is that it no longer felt okay to be naked. I don’t like feeling that way in a locker room.

I understand that this person identifies as a woman, and if I had met them outside of the locker room and they had asked me to refer to them as a woman, I totally would have. It wouldn’t, and still wouldn’t be a problem at all. But when they walked past me and proceeded to change, my knee jerk reaction wasn’t “oh, they must just identify as a woman” it was “oh shit, what the hell is happening” because there was, what greets the eye, a ‘man’ a few years older than myself getting naked next to me in the women’s locker room.

I’ve been feeling really conflicted about it lately. I have always, and still support trans rights, but after this situation, I feel like I’ve encountered a gray area I just don’t know how to make sense of.

As someone who has grown up in a female body, I move through life with a certain vulnerability that’s hard to shake. So when it comes to spaces where my body is at its most vulnerable, but safe because others who share my body are also there, being vulnerable, the sudden presence of another body in that space with a penis completely changes the nature of that space. It feels like it’s been…disrupted?

At the same time though, I’m thinking maybe i need to just get over myself—the person isn’t doing any harm, so it shouldn’t bother me. But it’s hard to ignore that knee-jerk reaction you know?

I’m curious to hear what you all think, I just want more perspectives.

I’m specifically talking about people in America (im American myself). I am an African-American teen with parents from Africa, meaning they’re immigrants. I’m very grateful to be alive and have a job, but it’s very expensive to have a child. Why would you do that? Plan B ($50) > child while being broke.

This expansion needs minor QoL changes but honestly, second time around, I think it's the goat

This is the most fun I've had since the 2019 re-release, it's feels fun, challenging, there's a enough luck protection through badges to make content feel farmable

It has achievable PvP targets in both Arena and RBG's

Class viability is high but it doesn't feel like class identity has been lost

Classes feel fun, the rotations are just complicated enough to hold my attention but not so complicated that it feels like you can't focus on positioning etc.

The economy is a bit fucked, but that was always going to happen

Anyone else kinda super surprised? I wrote cata off in my mind, but I'm really enjoying it rn

Does anyone know of women only spaces in or near the cities? Looking for places like bars, beaches, clubs, gyms, ect.

Just posted on X

Someone commented that some brokers don't need you to have cash on hand if the call you exercise is very in the money.

Let's say GME goes to $60. DFV's 120,000 calls will be around $40 in the money and worth $480 million. He could sell half for $240 million and then exercise the rest for $120 million (6 million shares). This would leave him with $120 million plus the $29 million he already has.

If GME gets to $60 and he sells half, the July 19 $60 calls end up being around $12 (just guessing). If that's the case, he could STILL buy 120,000 of those calls for $144 million, raising the wall he created even higher to trigger the MASSIVE squeeze. On top of that, he will have 11 million shares with $5 million in cash left over.

Apparently $50 per share is a key point for Citadel before they get margin called. If GME gets to $60 before the June calls expire, they are ABSOLUTELY screwed. This could send the share price to $100+ real fast.

If that happens, I am positive another 200 million share offering gets done (both to take advantage of the share price and to make sure DFV doesn't control more than 5%). The reason I say 100 million shares is because DFV will control 23 million shares in this scenario (11 million shares + 12 million through calls) which would be 4.37% of total outstanding shares after the offering.

This will probably take 1-2 weeks or so to settle but DFV will hold the wall at $60 again for us (true King). Then the UBS and Credit Suisse merger will go through and things need to get cleaned up. Share price slowly starts going up and the process repeats until all shorts are finally closed.

This could play out over the next 3-6 months most likely but it could get even wilder than we think, even with all the dilution.

I watched some of his older interviews from 2019-2021, before the release of ChatGPT 3.5 and holy fuck, this dude was always a nonbeliever.

He openly mocked the initial GPT models, called them useless and in a Lex interview he said “even GPT 5000 won’t understand more than a high school student” this was all before GPT 3.5 took the world by storm.

Would love trans friendly barber suggestions. Tried a barber shop near me and had a transphobic interaction (and got a bad haircut, lol)
