Up like a rocket; down like a feather.

I've seen this meme before, therefore it is inconveniencing my internet experience and that is against the rules!

I would agree if he wasn't publicly voting Republican at that point, which he was. By midterms 2022 he had publicly stated that the Democrats were the party of hate and division and that everyone should vote Republican. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activities_of_Elon_Musk

Not always. People often wish to transfer plates to their new car so they don't have to memorize a new one.

I think I can shed some light on this. In California, you pretty much have to have a car. There are roughly 40 million residents in California. When you get a car, a license plate is issued. When you register a car, a license plate is issued. When you order a vanity plate, a license plate is issued. The same car can be registered to several license plates before any of them return to circulation. If a plate stays inactive for a number of years, then it returns to circulation to be reissued. I'm not sure about California, but some states it's 10 years, others have 20 years and I'm sure still others have other lengths of time for these numbers to expire. The reason for this is that you can let your registration lapse and still re-register your car once you can afford to do so. Or a car can sit in some legal dispute for a long period of time. Various reasons a car's registration may lapse but still want to be registered again some day. So let's say you buy a used car in California and then register new vanity plates on it. Let's also say you're the 3rd owner. It's not unreasonable that that particular car have 4 different license plate numbers associated with it that have not been reregistered or are currently in use. Also, many people own more than one car.

You might even called them Proxzis

I remember seeing that on YouTube years ago.

I don't know, I think I've seen more than 2-3k of these trucks in Houston alone. Also someone keeps etching "Swastikar" into them. Rumor is they're using an acid etchant like ferric chloride.

The IT crowd came out almost 20 years ago

Ad supported search is the only way people will continue to use the internet. I feel the only real reason the internet is so widely used is because of the accuracy and accessibility provided by search engines and without them, the web as it currently exists will die and become small factions of like-minded individuals on forums. Some people like that idea but I'll tell you, as someone who lived through the internet in that era, there was some pretty fucked up shit that came out of those spaces.

We need global agora and we need ways to stay connected on unified platforms and we need to maintain history and knowledge. The Internet is our species's latest evolution. It allows us to combine our collective thoughts and knowledge for better or for worse. Destroying the primary way to navigate the Internet is an awful idea even though the leader of that industry is Google.

I think it's perfectly fine for a religious organization to be tax exempt provided they provide the same level of service as other non-profit orgs. I also think we desperately need to overhaul the requirements and auditing practices of organizations claim to be non-profits.

I don't think a religious organization on its face deserves to be tax exempt.
