The four horsemen of obesity!
For most stuff like brake pads, wipers, or bulbs I have used Autozone or O’Reilly, not really picky about either. When I needed the occasional expensive thing like batteries or an alternator I would check prices first and pick the one that was lower for the one I wanted.
This was mostly due to needing the thing right away, so I’m paying a little more for convenience.
I also used LKQ a couple times over a decade ago for junkyard parts like a headlight housing that was damaged.
Haven’t had to do the expensive stuff for quite a few years, just wipers and the occasional brake pads.
Large and small manufacturing companies have contracts for orders for months to years out with set prices, some of which might have wiggle room for costs but not to this extent. Plus manufacturing already tries to balance out costs across projects due to fluctuating prices for materials. If their materials double (or more) in price they will be screwed by the contracts and guaranteed to lose money on all of them.
Buying at the current prices means they will have to pay to have the materials stored in a warehouse, which will cut into their planned profits for those existing contracts. Hell, they might be buying at a higher cost than they normally would when fulfilling the contracts.
The company is getting screwed, not trying to fleece customers or their employees.
Sorry not sorry.
They took all the parts people complained about in the beta and dialed them up. Especially the predatory monetization.
The messaging needs to be simple and address their stupid concerns, not cater to their stupid solutions. Campaigning on improving the immigration process to handle the influx instead of mass deportations can be kept simple and successful without being terrible and stupid.
He said Project 2025 was great back in 2022 before the backlash, it isn’t like he is consistent.

Same justification he will use for a nationwide abortion ban and locking up his political opponents.
Bold of you to assune they won’t just blame Dems because it isn’t like reality matters.
Kinberg sounds like the type of person to make a high quality trilogy, so it will probably be canceled.
I think you are mistaking the desire to leave as a personal desire and not an obligation due to social pressure.
The socond set of back and forth is all about other people’s expectations and then hesitsting.
My mother will start to worry (beautiful, what’s your hurry?)
And father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I’d better scurry (beautiful, please don’t hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
And democrats share blame for that obviously, but acting like voters were right to stay home isn’t the right takeaway.
Agreed, which is why I still voted despite sharing the same demotivation.
People don’t want them, the Democrats don’t represent the average working person. It is not the fault of the people for not voting for them, the Democratic Party is not their party.
This is fucking hilarious.
Dems do represent the working class. They are the ones who promote and occasionally pass minimum wage increases, worker safety laws, the ACA, funding for FEMA, social supports, and a ton of other things that positively impact the working class and 98% of the population.
The Republican party actively works to destroy all of those things so they can guve the wealthy tax breaks while lying about whether the working class will benefit.
The problem is messaging. Republicans are great at lying and riling people up, the Dems suck at propoting the positive things they attempt and occasionally succeed at.
And you should hold Harris much more accountable for doing the genocide right now, rather than keep telling me about Trump. I know Trump wants the Genocide as well, but Kamala is already doing it, so to me that is not an alternative.
You know Trump wants more and you are blaming Harris for what Biden is currently doing because she didn’t explicitly state she wouldn’t do a complete 180 and stop support entirely.
That is like saying pooring gasoline on a fire is an alternative to not putting it out. I guess that is an alternative…
So for example if a writer has a first person perspective of a killer/rapist you wouldn’t make an association that the author is anything of the sort.
That does happen all the time in movies, shows, books, and other forms of art. “What kind of a person would come up with that” isn’t an uncommon accusation.
No, it is about both people coming up with excuses for her to stay when social expectations mean staying scandalous and everyone else would gossip.
I thought it was about starting a fight, like jumping someone.
TIL
That is what it was.
It was criticizing something from the first person perspective like Nirvana’a Polly, or The Police’s Every Breath You Take.
Oh fuck, no way.
Ok, I read thenlink and the bassist was an opely total piece of shit before joining the band but I didn’t see anyhing about the AoB songs being hidden propaganda or the rest of the band’s history. Where does the speculation come from?
Plus the orange jackass is going to fuck over the economy with massive tariffs and then give tax breaks to the 1% while removing the worker protections and social services the working class relies on.
