I don’t think people realize how far the NRA has gone to block ANY legislation that will reduce gun sales. We have bad gun laws not because of the lack of effort from government, but specifically how much effort the NRA has put in to stop it.
They went bankrupt funding progun policy.
That’s a list of a bunch of trucks compared to a midsized SUV, so you’re kind of proving yourself wrong. Cars are split into weight classes, so a comparison that doesn’t acknowledge that isn’t very useful. A EV Sedan is on average much heavier than an ICE sedan.
No one’s saying ICE vehicles are better for the environment than EVs
You’re getting down voted but you’re right. I don’t think people realize that most tires are now made from synthetic rubber, AKA plastic.
Also someone tried to disprove you by posting a list with ICE trucks being as heavy as EV cars. Like what? Of course trucks are heavier. EV Trucks are even heavier than that and an EV subcompact will be much heavier than an ICE compact. Also everyone is talking about how trucks and SUVs are getting heavier and bigger. So not sure what they mean by “we never talk about this with trucks!”
Show them their out numbered. Make it as uncomfortable as possible for them to express their opinions in public. They believe that they’re the silent majority, so if you make them see that they’re not, it’s something.
Take them seriously. Show them that we’re taking them seriously and won’t allow them to seize power.
It doesn’t. Pointing out the contradictions in fascism doesn’t stop fascism because they don’t care about contradictionss. They care about enforcing an authoritarian ideology on everyone, and to that end everything is permissable. As long as they’re still intent on securing power, their followers don’t care. It’s not about being right or making sense. It’s about seizing power by any means. In a democracy, that means saying whatever bullshit you have to to keep your followers engaged.
Making fun of them for their contradictions does nothing to stop them. Not taking fascist movements seriously and expecting them to go away because their beliefs are silly is what Germany did when Hitler was rising to power. It’s not a good strategy.
I mean most things can, it just isn’t profitable…
That kurtzgesagt video gets closer to true every day.
Yes. That’s literally the platform. They say whatever they have to to cover their asses because all they really care about it being able to do whatever they want while forcing everyone else to do live by their rules.
They don’t care when you point this out because that is their goal. They’re shameless about it.
Love how we went from “AI needs to be controlled so it doesn’t turn everything into paperclips” to “QUICK, WE NEED TO TURN THE PLANET INTO PAPERCLIPS TO GET THIS AI TO WORK!!”
Finding new and exciting ways to make cars more dangerous. What an inovator.
What is this news format with the headline as an image macro in meme format. That’s genius.
There’s a theory that part of the problem is that social media aggregates too many different people in one place. Our brains naturally create in groups and out groups, making conflict and toxicity inevitable.
I’m making a prediction right now that real self driving will eventually rely on people from impoverished countries remotely operating the cars of wealthier countries. Sort of like how AI training data is combed through.
And all this occurred within a church. Where are the charges against the church?
Oh, haha, first time witnessing religion complicit in criminal activity, huh?
Fixed, thanks.
This is not the result of a prolonged investigation. It’s the result of shifting precedent from a neoliberal, Chicago School, interpretation to a more “new deal” era interpretation of monopoly laws. For the last 30 years, monopolies could only be broken up if the corporation bought other companies "with the intention of of forming a “monopoly.” We literally had to get rid of all the followers of the Chicago School from the government and replace them with people that aren’t as friendly to corporations.
Basically, think of companies forming monopolies as drunk driving. If a court of law were to determine drunk driving manslaughter cases like they’ve been determining monopoly cases, you’d have to prove that the drunk driver left his house with the intention of killing someone inna drunk driving accident. So they’d always be able to say, “well I didn’t leave the house thinking I’d kill someone!” And get away of it. That’s how companies and the judicial system have been treating monopoly laws.
Damn I didn’t know portal had a mod community like that. I’ll check it out.
JESUS CHRIST JUST MAKE HALF LIFE 3 AND PORTAL 3 WHAT ARE YOU DOING VALVE?!?!
Sounds like US automaker higher prices are the actual threat.
