This. Some people need a book and a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites to tell them to be a good person.

Assuming you’re talking VFR?

You make a good point about people who are informed or educated enough to actually recognize that. Ignoring the future vs present worth of money aspect.

There are a shit ton of folks out there who don’t know what inflation actually is. I’d say they probably fall into the doom spending category.

A shiv in the form of a sharpened toothbrush

Sad story

Why do people still buy Teslas? Serious question

Edit - great responses everyone. It was a genuine question & I appreciate the candor

Listen when adults speak to you

Can you get a PE license in software engineering? Serious question

Edit: PE = professional engineer.

In most parts of the United States the title “engineer” or “professional engineer” is a title with legal requirements & responsibilities in the same way calling yourself a medical doctor or lawyer would be. Folks with the credentials to be a professional engineer are tested & licensed by the state to practice engineering, similar to the way the bar or medical board would vet lawyers & doctors.

The dude certifying the structural plans for the bridge you drive over every day is in this category. Same with other categories of critical engineering from the fields of chemical, electrical, mechanical, civil, environmental, etc.

That said, TIL software “engineers” aren’t part of this group. Maybe they should be

Grow up bud

Lol all of the mid 20’s to mid 30’s hipster chicks with arm sleeves are down voting you.

I have a couple of tats I got with my squad in Iraq when I was in the Army. Explaining those tats to those same younger hipster gals never seems to go over well.

Taking out a loan for a vehicle does not mean you are rich lol.

Anyone can get financing for a shitty new car, not everyone can figure out how to retire by the age of 55

Nah, being fat is the embodiment of laziness. Your bias isn’t wrong, but good on you for trying to give people a chance.

I think updating the driving test to mandate proving you’re able to drive a stick would thin the herd quite a bit.

Especially in the USA

Ah the good ol minivan motor Tacomas. They don’t make ‘em like they used to

I don’t know about you, but I’ve made a shit ton of money in the market by investing in green technology.

My structural engineer buddy often says “I’m still an engineer when the power goes out” lol

Yea that was my point re: Nissans aren’t hat they used to be.

A brain damaged chimp could get financing for a Nissan. They certainly aren’t designed for quality anymore, regardless of fuel system

Glad to see you’re happy with your purchase bud

Yea the point I was making is they’re not the same company the once we’re. Nissan of the late 90’s no longer exists.

A 4 year old car should have zero issues but I say that being a Toyota owner.

The Leaf’s air cooled batteries lacking any kind of thermal management is usually a deal breaker for most folks. But yes, I’m sure Nissan chose to do that for quality reasons.
