Oh, that’s odd, I don’t get it. It says average car payment per month, I thought it means it’s the monthly loan payment, which is super fine.

$550 is about what I pay ANNUALLY for AC for my 2015 Mondeo.

But yeah, it would be close to $3000 annually if I wanted to lease any new vehicle.

Oh come on, Lemmy. I know I’m on c/fuckcars; but seriously - $600 a month for a new car sounds really good to me, I’m from Eastern Europe.

It’s good because new cars are significantly more reliable, fuel efficient, safe and comfortable than 10+ year old cars. If you drive a lot and can’t afford to pay $15k up front for a decent ~6yo car, then it’s really not that bad. Much better than buying $600 rolling wreckage, I can tell you that much.

Yes people, I know you only use bikes and trains and whatnot. But some people neee cars, and you have to respect that. Or are you gonna tell this mother of 2, living in a village, working from office 20km from home, that she would be better off just sticking to the public transport which visits her place once every 2 hours.

I loved it!

You feel my bludgeon thwart your belly, huh?

Please do be that person when your interlocutor deserves it

It takes much bigger balls to do that and people with respect you for it

Feel free to bully Cybertruck unironically tho

That’s some ground-level hanging fruits - do you know any piracy websites the size of Amazon or Netflix? Sure as hell I do not.

Piracy websites are usually pretty limited in scope. Places like some shady porn repos, pirated games and movies, etc. Of course there are some giants like thepiratebay but even they are nowhere as large as the ones you mentioned.

All of these, especially the big players, have high costs of maintenance and advertising. Just like their “legit” counterparts in size.

Sorry, what exactly kind of content are we talking about? You know, the one “legit” sites have to pay for but piracy sites don’t.
