Let me gradually increase the resistance on it each day until I can go Super Saiyan

Here’s a swing state rep explaining it. Sorry for a reddit link but it was this or tiktok

I’d be interested to see what polls say about NC with the Robinson stuff by next week

I’m pretty young and my mom has told me stories about when the token black kid was bussed into her Oklahoma school because of legal requirements. She’s not even retired yet. Passing a law doesn’t magically fix things overnight. It takes time AND community effort to enact social changes

Who do you think the people who want to use violence to overthrow the election are?

Blowing exhorbitant amounts of cash every time a politician takes an anti-fascist Israel stance isn’t a sustainable strategy

I want to agree with you on that, but it’s pretty clear that promoting fascism is at least in the short-term very profitable. Plus the money they spend ousting anti-Isreal politicians means they are more likely to get US Military money, so they spend less on their own military, which frees up funds in order to… influence US politics. I don’t like it, but so far it appears to be an effective strategy

If I thought he or his supporters had enough world knowledge to associate the concept of Shambala from Hinduism to Indians to Kamala then maybe I’d go with him trying to say being Indian is worse than being black which he argues she isn’t

Instead I think it’s more likely he just is incapable of saying her name without stumbling all over himself, so he’s decided if he can’t say her name it’s because she’s foreign and that’s bad

It’s abundantly clear only the minority of the court still has their shame center in tact

It was so good I immediately went to his page and started watching his most viewed videos. This guy rocks

Well when I purchased my car he hadn’t done that, so it didn’t factor into my decision. To your second point. That’s literally what they just did, I mentioned that in my comment. A bunch of auto manufacturers are switching their primary port, that’s another way of fucking your charging network. However, to my benefit, they’ll probably be picking up some of Tesla’s slack on NACS charging stations. Finally, worst case scenario it’s not like Tesla disappears off the face of the earth. If Elon fucks it all to hell they’ll break the company into pieces, sell the various pieces to other auto manufacturers and life will move on

As someone who bought one recently (past yearish) there’s several things:

1. The charger network: Superchargers are so much more plentiful than the alternatives, and there’s still not a great central charging app. I have 3 different ones installed on my phone and honestly most of them suck besides Tesla’s. Non-tesla chargers are basically just at apartments, businesses, and malls. Very few of which actually help me

2. Autopilot: when used within reason it’s a great feature. I use it in clear weather conditions for highway driving which probably covers 75% of my total time driving. In the optimal environment it feels much safer than a human and the (admittedly biased) data seems to back that up. Also having it commute for you in stop and go traffic is a huge game changer

3. Tesla is an all electric car company. I don’t necessarily trust other big auto companies to continue supporting electric, and to keep supporting specific electric models. We’ve already seen major auto manufacturers drop a charging standard (which is probably better for Americans) but what’s to stop them from doing it again? What stops them from stopping support for a specific model and running out of parts for it? I don’t expect an all electric car company with 5 models to do that

4. Yes, Elon is a massive piece of shit. You know who else is? Every auto exec. The only difference is that they’re quiet and effective. Those old money fucks have done so much more harm to our planet because they know how to influence politics effectively. Something something, ethical consumption, something, something, capitalism

Overall I got a mid-price electric car with a decent set of features. I’m relatively happy with my purchase while understanding the clear limitations of it
