Some of us are bad at parsing through an extremely long and confusing article about a very long and confusing boondoggle and would like to discuss with others to help clear up the confusion.

Telling someone to just read the article is hardly conducive to good discussion especially in this situation. Different levels of intelligence exist.

I dropped Hulu after watching the Shield. If I want to watch something specific, I go for that. Otherwise, no need to keep paying for subscriptions I'm not using. I still don't have Disney+ and probably won't until they fix the Simpsons aspect ratio. I share family Netflix and Amazon accounts and that's it.

They should just make it so every voter has to nominate 1 person from every demographic.
Like, actor should be..One white guy, one black guy, one Latin guy, one Asian guy etc.
Then move onto to sexual orientation next.
Might be like 25 nominees per category but at least it allows for diveristy.

I guess I have a couple of crazy Nintendo fan moments when it came to Directs.

There was the September 2018 Direct where I was doing a shift for my College Bookstore at the time and I was getting so antsy about getting off in time to eat and drive to home in time for the Direct that I legitimately stressed myself out and didn't feel good.

Another was the Mario Maker Direct where I had 1 hour to get home from my college but I had to take a bus ride and a 2 mile walk. So after I got off the bus I basically jogged/fast walked to get home in under 40 minutes to make it

Whether you believe Sanders said this also rests on whether you believe Warren would hear a sexist comment like this and not only decline to disclose it but also publicly praise the character of the person who made it for over a year.

She wanted to win over his supporters so of course she didn't criticize him. Given her tack to the center on health care and talk about the importance of unity lately, it appears she has given up on that.

Joker getting so many noms is only marginally better than Bohemian Rhapsody last year. Appropriately, it's a joke.

Still weird to me how much RE bats for Rian Johnson. He may be a generally good director that made a stinker in a franchise loved by all, but the guy is treated like he was Disney’s Christopher Nolan whole is clear he is not getting his trilogy at all.

[Boredfrom]

Behold the majestic of the suffering artist JigglesBunny:

Climax, The Last Black Man in San Fransisco, Midsommar, The Farewell, The Lighthouse, Waves, In Fabric and Uncut Gems are all 1,000% more deserving of nominations than stuff like Joker in every category that it’s nominated for and they got absolutely nothing.

As a filmmaker and screenwriter, my childhood dream was always writing and directing something and winning an Oscar. Nowadays, I know that The Academy’s opinions are worthless and these awards have no connection to the value of the art that is or is not nominated. It’s the hearts and minds of viewers that matter and a nominee list this terrible in every regard is proof that award shows aren’t a barometer for quality or worth. Safe to say that I can take comfort in knowing that I will never win an Oscar and yet, I will always be one hell of an artist and so are all of the fantastic artists who were robbed here.

This is fun to be honest. Like, if you got time to wait on a spot, you got time to walk from a further one.

Maybe if you live in a shithole countries that may be the case, but in 99% of America that matters parking spaces have a tendency to be packed to capacity. The person waiting is usually being diplomatic and willing to drop a few minutes for a guaranteed spot rather than spin around in the chaos of roaming cars in tight corners.

If you want to waste time out of your life just to spite someone "taking what's yours" (in this case an unneeded space to park vs valued space to park) it's the type of ape brain 20 iq masturbatory powerplay that Reddit Alphas engage in.

quick and dirty maths on a Nissan Versa

Total Loan Amount   $14,700.00
Sale Tax   $1,029.00
Upfront Payment   $1,329.00

Total of 84 Loan Payments   
$18,636.44
Total Loan Interest   $3,936.44
Total Cost (price, interest, tax, fees)   $19,965.44

 

She probably went for an automatic, which increases the price another $2K. Only the SV and SR trims (The top two trims) have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. If I had to guess, she probably got talked into the highest trim possible because it's a nicer version of the car, has more safety features and has 'resale value' even though it's a Nissan which eat appreciation values. I'm not even saying that's a wrong choice if you know what you're buying, but the highest trim level puts her over $20k when taxes are added before the interest payments.

Edit: Looks like she did go for the higher trim because the manual and S automatic uses 195 for wheels, and the SV and SR trims uses 205's.

https://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/cars/versa-sedan/build-price.html#configure/A/version

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-just-bought-my-first-car-today.153138/

Why would she buy this car for that price?  Should have just gotten a Fit or something.

If you're not a car person and don't care what you drive, a new car is a new car. She went from a Lexus ES 350 to a Nissan Versa. Even if the Lexus was 20 years old, the Lexus was still a nicer car unless she just fucked that shit up with no maintenance, smoked, ate in it daily, etc. Nissan actually tried to upscale the Versa a bit and made a nicer car when they released the new version and that's still a big downgrade in terms of size, comfort, etc.

TL:DR: New beat affordability.

That's not what I meant- Maybe something has changed, but the Versa isn't supposed to be that great of a car IIRC- have had them as rentals before and....   It's not on best compact car lists and is known for being one of the cheapest new cars you can buy.  Something that doesn't really mean much if you go for the higher-end models.  So for that price, you can get something ranked better and with better reliability ratings.

EDIT: Looks like the 2020 model is better.  But there's still better cars available in that price range.

I agree with everything you said. If I was in a market for a new subcompact car, I'd go for a Fit or Madza 2(marketed as a Toyota Yaris in the U.S.) before the Versa. But if the dealership is a Nissan dealership, that's the connection her stepdad had I guess. She still got mega screwed over because her step dad didn't protect her from a fucked up deal.

Actually, the car reviewed here is a classic example of why I think high trim subcompacts suck.

The base versa is $3000 cheaper than the base Sentra, and at that level, the versa has a market position.

The Versa is $22,270 loaded up. At that price, you can get yourself a mid trim Sentra. And if you listen to the review, a top trim versa is still just a tin can with lipstick on. It's a buzzy tin can with a tiny engine, no NVH insulation, and a really slow powertrain. Not to mention compacts have inherent advantages in wheelbase and leg room.

The base versa makes sense because you buy it if you can't afford a Sentra. The top trim versa doesn't, because for that price, a mid trim Sentra is better in every way

https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/eo5dfx/savagegeese_2020_nissan_versa/fe8spnd/

but at the same time a base Jetta or Civic are still cheaper.

Jetta S
: $18,745

Civic LX
: $20,650

Versa S
: $14,730

Versa SR
: $18,720 (+300 for smart cruise and heated front seats)

So the Versa SR seems to be cheaper than base Civic for sure, and about the same as the base Jetta.

I do really like the Civic but the price gap is there, and that's without counting Nissan's frequent discounts. On the other hand that doesn't mean the Versa is necessarily a good buy.

https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/eo5dfx/savagegeese_2020_nissan_versa/fe985dw/

TL:DR With the interest payments over 7 years, Neph is going to pay close to $30K for a Nissan Versa.
