For the most part I agree, but we are quickly moving to a place where voting either won’t do anything or won’t be a thing. For now, organizing and community support is the best thing to do, but there may come a time where we need to think about other options
Guess we better not try then…
The fact is that while there is no guarantee, you can at lest push to something better. Don’t self-defeat so early
Hate to shatter that ideal more, but the US has never been a bastion of democracy. The electoral college has existed since the founding, women have only been able to vote since 1920, and black folks have only fully been enfranchised since 1965. Even so, the right has been working to disenfranchise black and poor folks ever since.
I think that it is a complex situation that people are trying to distill down into internet takes. It is frustrating, but understandable.
That really isn’t the point. It could be 50/50 for this incident, but EVs (and as much as I hate saying something good about Tesla), even Teslas, don’t have a track record of blowing up. Plus the gas and fireworks in the back say intention. Maybe earlier than intended, but carrying that much flammable cargo is a fire waiting to happen
Sure, I get that, but it still plays into the EV hate. I know they aren’t the single solution, they are a part of a bigger strategy. Just hate to see bad information spread, even through jokes.
It was a bit of a rhetorical question. EV fires are way less common than gas car fires.

Also, CATL makes most of Tesla’s batteries, so they are subject to more QA than Tesla, though some are assembled in Nevada.
Bottom line, make fun of Tesla for the actual shitty things they do, don’t perpetuate unfounded rumors
Do they? Or is that just an extension of the right wing rumor that EVs explode more often than gas cars?
Cybertrucks are super fucking shitty, but for a lot of other reasons. Shitty to no QA, panels that are not properly attached, incredibly low visibility (even for a truck), undersized drive train components, and low actual utility to name a few. Oh, and everything that Elon is
They have a harder time with older games in general. DX11 (I think) is still new for Intel
It is not that though. Safe spaces doesn’t mean they don’t ever have contact from outside groups, it means they have a place they can take a break and know there is a certain cultural understanding. It is a vacation, not a permanent move.
But I don’t want to give discord my face. I need that
It’s not the same thing. One was meant to keep black people out of society, and the other is meant to provide community for marginalized folks (in this case black folks, but any marginalized group can have a safe space). And yes, we still have racism and bigotry, but comparing something that was meant to further marginalize people to something that is meant to provide community is just silly.
Safe spaces are not segregation in the same sense as US history. These are folks self selecting, not the government selecting for them. Often online spaces especially need spaces like this so folks in marginalized groups can have a safe community. They are also not stuck to the one feed, they can just choose what feed they want when
I would be very surprised if that is why Amazon chose those cities. Having worked there, they would have pulled demographic data to see how many new cars are sold each year and released in the highest volume cities with dealers willing to work with them.
Hard to say without going in, but the list price is still $1000 less.
lol, I looked at the cheapest Ioniq 5 in my area on Amazon and at the dealer’s website. $8500 cheaper directly from the dealer since they offer $7500 off for using their preferred lender. $1000 cheaper if you don’t use their lender
While that is true for some cars, not all cars, EV or ICE, are built equally. One of my previous cars got all the preventative maintainance, but it still started to break down constantly at 120k miles (Saab 9-5 if you’re curious). The issue is that while we have a lot of reliability data for ICE cars, there isn’t much for EVs. Ideally they would have higher reliability since they are relatively more simple, but at this point we do not have long term data.
Also, and this is an article problem, not a you problem, years owned is not as helpful as miles driven. Even in EVs, the slight degradation you see YoY could be amplified by driving 50k miles in a year.
I don’t think that is what was going on here, though. They were saying TikTok and Facebook are both equally bad. You may not agree, but at no point did they say it was a good thing that China gets your data. They said it is bad that both China and the US get your data.
Air fryer in this case just refers to the convection oven setting on the stove. It’s not a standalone air fryer.
I dunno if you read the response, but Linus was a fucking fool for asking for receipts. He looks like your MAGA uncle asking you to prove vaccines aren’t harmful
