[Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•The most stressful part of buying a car is not negotiating with dealers or sellers, it's the unsolicited advice from acquaintances
1·2 years agoMy wife and I bought her last car at CarMax and it was absolutely haggle and pressure free. We had spent hours prior at a Honda dealership and the pressure for so heavy, it had my wife in tears. We will always use either CarMax or private party in the future.
The better question to ask is why is the accompanying photo of a woman pointing 4 fingers at me?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you deal with communities that don't interest you?
21·2 years agoI block communities that routinely show up that I am not interested in seeing and use a monkey script to block instances of no value to me.

Air-Cooled VWs@lemmy.world•Vintage mail-order Volkswagening4·2 years agoAll of the buggy style bodies of the era looked like the Manx. Bruce Meyers lost in patent court, the body shape being deemed “unpatenable”, so everyone began making what basically amounted to clones of the Manx.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?
4·2 years agoNo, simply because I don’t “have to” have content. If Lemmy lacks interesting content, I go outside for a while.

Technology@lemmy.ml•API Misuse: Hacker Leaks 2.6M Duolingo Users' Emails & Names
24·2 years agoWell, I use a fake name and an email used only for Duolingo, so… ok.
Unfortunately, not that I could find. Reverse image search didn’t bring up anything.
OP said he took the pic at a meet in Denmark.
It’s a joke, as if the little VW runs on a twisted rubber band.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Some far-right activists and conspiracy theories are advocating against card-payments and for cash, and it's pissing me off
7·2 years agoI remember as a kid, seeing a commercial for a credit card where the clown of the ad tried to use cash, inconveniencing the mob behind him and it really stuck with me how unapologetic credit companies were when training their consumers and debt carriers.

Technology@lemmy.world•Bots Are Better than Humans at Solving CAPTCHAsEnglish
45·2 years agoSolution. Reverse the CAPTCHA reaction. If it’s solved, it’s a bot, if not, it’s a frustrated human.

Technology@lemmy.world•As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunchEnglish
162·2 years agoThe term soaring is pretty relative in this case. It’s still completely unknown to the majority of the world. It’s just like Lemmy, where the very few rigid types that absolutely couldn’t stand for one particular thing that happened to their social network will do anything, including cutting their nose off to spite their face rather than continue to use it. That’s why we’re all here and it’s why nobody else but us are coming.
Oof.
