Did I get bamboozled?

Credit score 870. Recently got a 2026 genesis G70 sport prestige for 24 months 7500 miles a year (15000 total). It is a loaner though and already had 2,500 miles on it. However the condition was pristine. I did $6500 down (this included taxes and fees and first month etc with the actual down payment itself being around $2500). Monthly is $368.

After reading some more I understand that it makes zero sense to actually put money down on a lease. In hindsight I would 100% have refused any downpayments even if I had to pay $400+ in a month. As honestly, it is not an issue for me either way. But it just does seem like you're getting a bulk of the cost out of the way (which is clearly bad for a lease since I'm not recouping that upfront payment if anything happens to my car).

The residual is 36,000.

Thoughts on this deal? Am I sucker?

"ahhhh man, we got him this time boys". 1. No one is saying this, only leftists have promised to leave and thus far they've not followed through. 2. what are they even claiming they're going to jail him for now? lmfao

They truly can't fathom how someone could vote with their conscience and remain unswayed by the approval of others.

I think this post is a great self-report by these guys. They genuinely can't understand someone who doesn't change their political opinions based on social pressures and mob bullying. As if there is no greater force to influencing what is "right" and "wrong" in their lives. It shows their value system and how they form opinions is based solely on what the media, celebrities and internet tells them.

Its also funny that they think THEIR opinions in their little internet bubble are a reflection of reality, and get so frustrated by how little influence they seem to have on mainstream society. They genuinely think the rest of the world is just as radicalized and insane as them.

They want SO desperately to be liked. The greatest fear a leftist has is not being accepted or being socially shamed/rejected/embarrassed by what they PERCEIVE as mainstream society.

They fear being made to seem "foolish" or "stupid" and never dare to oppose the hive mind because, even if they're right, the hive mind will see them as "stupid" for not agreeing with them and they'll be shunned.

Imagine back in the 1940s. Nazis walking around and saying the same thing about their opposition. "How can these Jew supporters not realize how hated they are by the rest of us"? Maybe they don't care. Maybe they care more about whats moral and right and don't switch their opinions and beliefs to fit in.

Grok heavy user - Just hit Message Limits after 41 messages...Unreal

So now not only isolated to the imagine features but now basic query functions. I had 4 separate conversations with grok to trouble shoot various coding related problems. After 41 messages (I went back and counted) and we're talking maybe about 2 sentences each I hit my "rate limit" for Grok messages...absolutely unreal and unusable at this point. They've completely gutted Grok to act as a private cloud for Anthropic. At this point this is just them slowly shutting it down and milking as much additional money out of consumers before its officially done.

Back in black!

I think now I can finally go outside and experience this "grass" I've been hearing so much about...Hopefully it lives up the hype :)

Also I guess when you hit lvl 50 you're drafted into the confederacy...

They think this is some clever "gotcha" moment but in reality just exposes how the left is the party of violence and hate. They didn't have these issues with Obama because Republicans aren't trying to commit acts of violence against their political rivals. Get a clue.

I do also find it amusing that the same people who were toppling US monuments and statues and claiming America is a racist vile colonial country are the same one's trying to evoke the heroic imagery of WW2 to try and garner support. Meanwhile, they would all 100% label those same WW2 vets as racist nazis. You know, the guys who were for traditional Christian values and raising a nuclear family with traditional gender roles and were alive during segregation....

Do they expect him to block her in? Did they see every secret service agent get BEHIND all the other VIPs and rush them out? Like genuinely these people are shameless.
