It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

No one is saying it's not. Your statement's implication is that because follow up costs are so low that the upfront is negligable, but that's fallacious as it's still significant and potentially out of reach for someone that wasn't planning on spending as much as a car upfront.

Have a hard time holding conversation past 1 comment?

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In this case, when I wrote "You got all of that", my statement's implication was that I read your whole comment.

Having a hard time comprehending any comments? Maybe I should type slower for you.
