I'm curious how Smackdown decides to show the full intro. They only do it about once a quarter and I can't imagine they know it's going to run short. - Ender Jan 28, 20:41

        Apparently NYC doesn't actually allow crypto payments so he has to convert it himself. -- nm - Ender Jan 28, 21:10
        
        That's like taking your first two paychecks "in Cadillacs". -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 20:59 1

- honestly it's just tragic. These people are being duped. My brother lives with it every day. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 18:40 12
  - I'm just sad every time I hear of one these deaths. It's so unnecessary and I feel bad for them and their loved ones. - ty97 Jan 28, 18:42 11
    - I guess I'm a callous dick because I don't really feel bad at all for these people. They made their choice, and choices have consequences. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 18:59 6
      - Schadenfreude isn't about not really feeling bad; it's more about taking joy from the misfortune of others. And I don't think any of us are doing that - Beryllium Jan 28, 19:07 3
        
        I'm certainly not happy about it. Just not sad either. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 19:24 1

  - Yeah the dealer policy probably covers them, but not you …. so you’re driving with no liability for yourself so just don’t hurt anyone. -- nm - JenBro Jan 28, 18:36
  - By GAP - I mean the difference between what you pay for it and owe on it and the acv for it once you drive it off the lot. If you were to total it in - JenBro Jan 28, 18:34
