This has always been the far right endgame. They don’t want people to rely on government, so they make government unreliable. Citizens become more exploitable, and thus more profitable.
Someday, that old planter will become a fountain.
This is a good idea even if you don’t think they will do it. When they don’t do it, you can negotiate money back from the purchase to cover the cost of hiring a junk removal team. Then you can pocket the cash and do it yourself or you can pay someone else to do it.
This is funny whether it’s a pet or an actual boss.
I mean, Trump went to UPenn.
Are you thinking of Penn State, or was there a pedo at UPenn, too?
Really? I think I sunk 100 hours into BOTW. I would also go with TOTK all things being equal, but I never felt like BOTW was a tech demo.
I sunk hours into NetHack, and I still occasionally dive into the dungeons. I also have a NES emulator on my phone, but it’s just not the same. I’ll play Zelda or Metroid for the nostalgia, but it’s not the same as sitting on the couch with friends.
I’m glad you have data, because I was just thinking that cultural attitudes towards tattoos and nudity don’t seem to be related, but I can’t prove that.
Are you saying those things don’t exist? I’m a white male, and I can acknowledge the privileges I have experienced without feeling responsibility for the injustice.

I mean, it’s also entirely possible you’ve heard a failing magnetic drive, a humming battery, or a squeeky mechanical thing like brakes or bearings. Those are all strong indicators of a significant problem with the car, and should be fixed immediately. But if you hear it every time, as soon as the car starts moving in a parking lot, that’s the safety feature.
At least the criminal was fired and prosecuted. Hopefully we see more of that.
Others have addressed your other questions, but I want to add that the “coil whine” that irritates you is probably the car’s slow-moving warning system. EVs are effectively silent at slow speeds because there is no engine noise or road noise, so they are required to make an annoying sound when maneuvering to get your attention. While it is an important safety feature, I agree some are very obnoxious.
You know you can just leave Reddit, right? It’s getting shittier because the people who aren’t shitty have left or are leaving. You’re not going to be the one person who fixes Reddit.
Competition is good for the consumer. More options from more players will encourage more charging infrastructure and (ostensibly) more innovation. It’s not just Elon Musk vs China. Every automaker that wants to sell cars in the USA is on notice. If they want to compete in the EV subcategory, they need to focus on price and performance. People want budget-conscious EVs.
This is an easy case. Using published works to train AI without paying for the right to do so is piracy. The judge making this determination is an idiot.
Bullshit. I am privileged in many ways. It isn’t an insult to acknowledge that I don’t and haven’t faced the same challenges as other people. I can recognize that society hasn’t been fair to others without ignoring the obstacles and challenges I’ve faced.
Are you saying we’re not privileged?
Edit: I’ve been thinking about your comment, and I wonder if you don’t understand what privilege is.
Imagine you’re at a restaurant. You sit, you’re eating your meal, and someone at the next table asks to borrow the salt. You have salt on your table, and for whatever reason, they don’t have salt on their table.
So you stand up and shout “No! It’s not my fault the restaurant doesn’t provide salt to every table! It’s not my responsibility to make sure everyone has access to salt! I don’t owe this table or any table any other table my salt that I am owed. The salt is on my table because I earned it. And besides, I have no pepper and my steak was overcooked and my chair is wobbly. Fuck you for even suggesting I share my salt.”
None of that bullshit is relevant. You have the salt and someone is asking you to share because you can. They aren’t blaming you for the lack of salt. They aren’t saying you’re responsible to make sure everyone has salt. They aren’t saying that, because you have salt, you don’t have other needs or problems, or that you aren’t entitled to use the salt while you have it. The privilege is that you have access to salt while others don’t. You don’t always need it, so it costs you nothing to share. Having it won’t solve all of your problems, and sharing it should not cause you significant problems. And someone pointing out that the whole restaurant should have salt on each table is not a personal attack on you.
You’re not the asshole until you refuse to pass the salt.
Just what my relaxing escapist hobby needed, debt.
