They trying to sell trucks as Good Value with 123k miles on them for $45k.


The used truck market has been a damn mess for 7-8 years now it seems. And insane the past three years.

I'm wanting to get something used for my son, but if things don't start changing with this market by this summer, he's going to end up with a 8 year old Accord/Camry.

Have you read The Great Reset?

It nullifies all of those books

If you're going to have them, limit the number of dogs you keep. Face it- despite their status they are in essence eating, barking, shitting money pits. Don't compound the problem. Same goes for cats.

Didn’t say I liked Foldgers - just said it was better than Starbucks shitwater.

You've called it "shitwater" and "nasty swill". What is with the OT's hatred of Starbucks? I get preferring other places (I try to support locally owned when possible), but some of you are obsessed, and it's odd.

Get the book "The Millionaire Next Door". It came out in 1996. Through 2022 still a #1 Amazon best seller for a reason. Your welcome.

See, the point here wasn't just to say that they have different roasts, it was to point out how erroneous your description of their coffee was BECAUSE of those different roasts (i.e., their dark roast may indeed taste "burnt" since it's roasted longer, but a lighter roast shouldn't have that taste). You saying that other coffee brands also have different roasts is a stupid non sequitur (but again, that's not surprising).

But you have no idea how I perceive tastes. When comparing Starbucks "blonde" or other light roast coffee next to something like Green Mou tain "Breakfast Blend" or Caribou "Daybreak", the Starbucks blonde absolutely tastes more "burnt" and bitter.

My home brew coffee is usually Black Silk from Folgers which is a dark roast, and doesnt taste burnt like Starbucks "dark roast" or "Italian roast".

So, again I am sorry that what coffee I like is irritating your vagina this afternoon.

Said unironically as you've continuously gotten upset with people who have a bad opinion of Starbucks and their coffee flavor.

Bro, there are at least three threads per month where people are talking about how much they hate Starbucks. Again, it's an odd obsession. It's not getting upset to point out how weird some of you are. I get that most of you are fat, grumpy middle-aged guys with no taste, but what gives?

For someone whose go-to coffee is Folgers, I'm pretty sure I do.

But, you don't.

No matter what you tell yourself or how upset you get that I dissed Starbucks, you have no idea what I like and don't like.

You sound like a fricking psycho.

Get you another Caramel macchiato, bro.

Are you trying to make yourself feel better by thinking that I'm "upset"? You keep using that thinking that if you do so enough that it'll be true.

Of course I have an idea what you like. You've told me.

That’s dumb. That Folgers sits on shelves forever.

Starbucks grinds their beans before brewing.

Fresh ground>pre ground all day.

Again, I'm "melting" (what year is it by the way?).

Ah, there it is. A standard OT trope. As if you can't get just a latte at Starbucks. They only sell "milkshakes" that cost $12, right?

Imagine calling a macchiato a "milkshake" then being so upset about someone's preferred coffee.

Imagine IAmNERD misunderstanding one of my posts (again). This one I may let slide, since it was more a dig at the wider OT audience.

Imagine talking about ordering a latte because you're upset about someone bad-mouthing Starbucks when discussing plain, black coffee like a real fricking man.

Oh geez. There it is too. Someone has to drink Folgers to be a "real fricking man", huh? Does one have to swill beer and be a fatty too? What else do we have to do to be a man in your opinion?
