State law requires it? That’s insane. I’m sorry.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry

I can’t really comment first hand, but people I know that are heavy in the AI arena career-wise have told me that Grok is pretty much garbage on all fronts.

Is that true?

As a US citizen and Oregon resident, absolutely.

But I don’t honestly foresee it being possible or happening.

Wow, I almost rage replied after the line, I’m so glad I kept reading.

wtf why would they reject anyone lol

Tripled is an understatement for me. Cursor and Claude Code are a godsend for OE for me.

This timeline fucking sucks and I wish cancer on all regressive political parties.

Brave my fucking ass.

I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time, thank you

Can they make it opt-in? I’ll gladly continue to pay State Medicaid taxes.

I have extra money since I stopped paying federal taxes 🤷‍♂️

lol.

jfc.

I am a huge Superman fan but I have extremely low expectations for this movie. Probably won’t even bother to see it in theaters unless someone else decides to pay, haha.

God ChatGPT sucks so much.

Speaking for everyone around me I hear talk…

Frame it as “fuck billionaires”.

Good. Fuck the US.

…for now.

Sounds like bullshit.

Source: Farms near me have already lost people to deportation. People with no criminal record. People who paid more taxes than a lot of people I know. People who work hard.

Fuck this administration.

This isn’t an every case, but maybe just don’t even bring it up until the end. Claim you want to get all the numbers settled, even if they’re discussing payments and stuff, just keep an eye on the actual price of the vehicle (+ taxes, title, doc fees).

Then at the end you could just say, great, and say you’ll be paying in cash. They might be miffed, that’s their problem.

Some places still make you fill out a credit app for liability purposes, but I’m not entirely sure that’s even necessary in actuality.

Now, that said, sometimes dealerships get kickbacks based on financing deals they acquire - so it may bake into the price they’re offering. If that’s the case we often just told people straight up and then gave them instructions on how to make principal-only payments. So you could feasibly do this to snag a great deal and then just pay it off immediately.

Another benefit for the latter is if it’s 0% or close to, you could do it over 6-12 months that way if something insane happens you’d still have that cash just in case and your total interest outlay with the accelerated payments would be pretty negligible.

I had to go pee at like noon, didn’t end up going until 4pm because I went down a coding rabbit hole.

My wife came in at 6pm and asked if I had eaten yet today…I said I didn’t know.

This isn’t healthy. I do not condone it.
