Tesla is allowing people to put deposits of up to $250k to reserve a flying Tesla roadster (or a thrust model).

Do people actually believe they will be owning one of these? Cars have to go through enormous regulatory and safety hurdles which a flying car would never pass. Even Elon didn't have enough confidence to drive it himself.

Yet people are blown away by the flying Tesla. This was a good stunt or a movie prop, but he is basically the monorail salesman from the Simpsons

It's so frustrating when you make plans with someone and they consistently show up 15 20 minutes late. They always have some excuse. It just feels like a lack of respect for other people's time. Why is this such a common thing?

The debt has grown about $3.7 trillion in Trumps second term alone with one Big beautiful Bill tax cuts and rising interest costs among the drivers

Is this a form of socialism?

It seems like everything these days is being cheapened by these pe firms. Wendy's, Panara, Jersey Mikes, Sonic, Dennys are all on my no go list these days. Multiple bad experiences with food that calling it "edible" would be generous compliment. Any chains still as good as they have always been? The only one I can think of is In-n-Out Burger, which seems to be the same as its always been.

US to launch $8 billion support program for farmers to offset diesel costs, Trump says | Reuters

100,000 Yemini children have died from starvation in ongoing conflicts between Saudi Arabia with US aid against the Houthis with Iranian aid.

The UN printed this report as recently as 22 September 2026

But why doesn't it make headlines in American newspapers? Why does no one talk about the influence of the Saudis over the White House?

I'm wondering if it's gotten worse or if I've gotten older and just realized it more as I've matured.

Thanks anyway but my wife and I both received a $90 payment from SS. We donated it to the Talarico campaign?

If Trump has done anything good, it is to show us that we are severely divided as a nation. We are not living in the same reality, and all that is happening is the extremes are continuing to pull harder and harder.

I have long advocated for a 6 way amicable divorce. Divide the land into 6 nations by geographic regions and social preference. Allow for open boarders much like Europe has so people could shift and migrate to countries that more suited them.

Every time I bring up this idea on reddit however it is downvoted but no one can explain WHY they don't like it

So tell me why you think this is a bad idea.

Here are a couple thoughts before you dive in:

1) Yes I am aware that not everyone lives in an area with a majority like minded people. That's what immigration is for.

2) Yes I know poor people would have a hard time moving . . . but frankly if migrants can WALK from drug torn Nicaragua/Venezuela to the USA with nothing on their backs, then complaining about it here in the USA is a bit of a first world problem don't you think?

3) The money could stop flowing from blue states to red states and the red states could have all the handmaid tales bullshit laws they wanted to vote in. People who didn't like it would leave.

If someone close says that masturbation is healthy and that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it makes me feel traumatized because I suffer from it hearing someone say something like that makes me feel as though my suffering isn't real

I'm 27k in student loan debt, homeless, no job, no savings, two SWE internships on my resume, useless cs bachelor's degree from 2025.

My parents kicked me out when I approached a year post graduation with no job. I wasn't getting any interviews, at all. I was working as a part time barista for $16/hour to bide my time but I abandoned that job when I was kicked out. I'm in a city where rents are 2000+ for closets.

My loans have obviously been defaulted on by now, I don't even have an active phone number for then to contact me with. No money to keep one active with.

I've been staggering, stumbling around gagging on nothing like a drug addict. I had a bike but someone broke the lock on it while I was sleeping outside one night.

Idk what I can do now. Ever since I was kicked out I haven't made any job applications. They never got me anywhere. I haven't eaten anything for a week. I'm too ashamed of myself.

I've been dumpster diving for plastic bottles to resell. I'm... idk. I'm sad. I don't want to wake up anymore.

What more can I even do? "More projects"? That has no value today, especially for literally anything outside of SWE jobs. There's nothing else.

I cheered for Luigi back in the day. I'm contemplating following his example. What do I have to lose, really. Just like my "new grad" status already expired, my life is expired.

Im interested in hearing different opinions and viewpoints! Also about what even attracts people to this theory and why?

For example, a Mississippi police officer shot a toddler, Kohen Wiley, to death as his mother drove away from a store, allegedly having stolen some diapers. He was recently cleared by the state AG's office.

Why are Americans ok with their government employees treating them like this?

What's your justification for that position? Aren't you the one ultimately responsible for providing for you? And I'm not talking about people with health or mental problems, I'm talking about the majority of people.

Texans, can you please explain why outside of Republican vs Democrat, you would vote for Paxton over Talarico?
