Did those that downvote even read the article?

Shit is valid and you and your reactionary ear-plugging is this problem.

I wish I was the Mothman.

Wasn’t aware. I think that’s a great idea, honestly. Keep yourself safe.

That’s fair. I fully acknowledge my limited scope/understanding and bias.

I wish we lived in a better world with better intentioned people overall. It’s easy to focus on Elon Musk because he’s the biggest/loudest dragon, hoarding the most gold. There are others just like him everywhere. It’s depressing and overwhelming.

I’m not a fan of cars in general, but understand their necessity in plenty of situations. EVs have great potential, but need good-intentioned engineers with plenty of oversight to safely fuel their development. I’m sure these companies have some brilliant scientific minds in there and they should be allowed to usher in a new age of invention, not limited by the bottom line of vampiric shareholders and the egos of CEOs. It’s just so sad.

Good point. I’m not sure. It may be that we’re (I’m) hearing more about Teslas catching fire because they’re the largest distributor in the US (and I live here). However, they’re not the largest in the world and I haven’t heard of this problem happening with other EVs (though they may be).

Regardless, Elon Musk is a pompous charlatan and defrauder that deserves much worse than he’ll ever get. Bias be damned.

The narwal bacons at midnight?

I thought this was a clickbait article

And morons keep buying Teslas.

It really seems like Elon Musk has been given free reign to kill people.

What about reality has suggested that to you?

No, fart_pickle knows all.

I really liked kbin too. Left Reddit early into the migration and went straight there. It got too buggy to use, so I went on holiday to bsky for a minute (not my thing). When I came back, it was gone, sadly. So, here I am.

Yeah, or when it says The New York Times is leftist.

Helpful for keeping me honest about checking sources, not always very honest itself.

This is correct. Additionally, some distributors have licenses in multiple states.

Small brain take. Piss ant energy.

Man. States rights are such bullshit.

How come neoliberals always tell immigrants, minority groups, etc to enjoy some form of death camp or other if they don’t do the thing you tell them to do?

You’re not even listening to what this person is saying, just making vague threats based on nothing.

So, this “tightrope walk” gives politicians a free pass to lie to voters about what they intend to do once they’re in office? How is that fair? No one is able to make an informed decision that way.

How can deceiving citizens possibly improve the quality of leadership in any country, democratic or otherwise? It’s called manipulation and that’s what you do when you don’t want the other party to have a choice in the matter. It’s what you do when you want to seize control.

Your argument is bizarre. Please explain why someone wouldn’t use “things from her past” to inform their vote. You use the word “blame” as though she is a victim of her own decisions.

I don’t know a single communist who would call someone a race traitor. That’s nuts and your anger is very misdirected.

So god damn good too
