  • At your current rate of spending, for how long could you survive without income?

    Jump

  • A month, maybe. I'd probably get arrested for squatting at work sooner, tbh. If I cut and run to the woods tonight, I could probably make it further, but I'll run out of food money faster than I could get a reliable food source going before winter hits

  • Here in America, you can have whatever car you like! Yup. As long as it's the same silver, white, or black truck or SUV, you're spoiled for choice!

  • I mean, it's a hybrid vehicle that seats 7 people that is smaller in length and width than a new sienna, the same weight and the same towing capacity. It might be an inch or 2 taller than the sienna overall because I needed to add a 1.5" lift when I replaced my suspension at 195000 miles to give me the ground clearance to clear the rocks where I go camping when it's fully loaded, but I still manage to get the 28mpg it was rated for 13 years ago. My previous 2006 highlander hybrid had almost 170K on it when I upgraded to the 2012. Hate on a Tahoe or Expedition or Wagoneer all you want because they are fucking absurd vehicles, but I bought literally the only used AWD, hybrid people mover/working vehicle I could buy, and when my 2006 hihy came out it was the only option at all 15 years before the Sienna went hybrid.

  • You can fit at least a twin, probably a full size inside most minivans (I did have to take one out of a grand caravan recently), and a queen or king would go on the roof fine if you spec one with crossbars. Most minivans also have reasonable towing capacity, so renting a U-Haul utility or cargo trailer is less than the difference in one monthly payment between a van and a bigger truck or SUV. I've put thousands of miles on my 2nd gen highlander hybrid just towing either my utility trailer (5x8) or a U-Haul cargo (4x6, 5x8, and 6x12), moved twice, helped friends and family move, done dump runs etc... I've only rented a moving truck once, for my first move, and that was only due to limited time for a full apartment move.

  • Steve Irwin was my first, but Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington back to back definitely got me hard. I choked up when LP played numb with nobody at the mic during their remembrence concert

  • You forget that if you say them together in that order while flying a Dixie flag and a swastika you can get a police escort, it's only wrongspeak when you say that Israel is committing a genocide and ask for them to stop doing it.

  • They've got fascist misogynists who reference the Bible, which to the casual observer (or Republican voter), are hard to distinguish from actual Christian Nationalists, but none of these people actually worship anything other than the dollar and absolute power.

  • You are missing the point and at this point, I'm assuming it's deliberate.

  • You are missing the point of my original comment, there are podcasts that do get sponsored by conservative or hard right/religious right money that are filling the same niche that AM radio used to, and they are being sponsored because the right knows that it works because they already did the same thing with AM radio.

    As an aside, I have never seen a handyman with an ad for a sponsor on their vehicle, ever. Maybe an ad for their own business, but that's how a service industry works, you need to advertise yourself. Podcasters are entertainers or influencers, and in our economic system, if your income isn't directly generated by the work you do (service), then it is given to you to perform or advertise (entertainment). An entertainer doesn't work for their audience. They put in work to gain and keep an audience, but no one person in the audience has the ability to tell an entertainer what to do or say, that power solely covers from the group that pays that entertainer to entertain. The owner of a venue pays a comedian or band, you pay the venue to be allowed to be entertained at that venue. The venue decides what content they put on stage because it can become associated with their brand. Patreon does allow people to directly support podcasters, yes, but if you run ads at all, you are beholden to their terms in order to continue receiving payment. It is statistically improbable that the vast majority of conservative leaning podcasters are either self funded or entirely crowd funded, just like most influencers. Those cross country Van-Lifers are largely either independently wealthy or sponsored by the brands they showcase, serving as an advertisement to their viewers, many of whom are also wealthier. Podcast hosting has a similar barrier to entry as being a SoundCloud hip-hop artist or maybe a country singer, a computer and maybe a camera, so anybody can do for extra income if there are brands or causes willing to actually make it worth the effort to do

  • No, if they run ads, they are sponsored. A handyman is self employed. I don't stop working to thank DeWalt or Snap-on for providing my tools, I bought them myself.
