It’s an interesting problem.

Does the EU let Chinese vehicles in, allow the reduction of EU manufacturing, reducing jobs available, possibly imposing further poverty on the poor, and possibly to the point where they can’t afford the Chinese vehicles anyway?

Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, making them less available to the poor, but possibly protecting jobs within the EU? Perhaps whilst trying to engage EU automakers to make more EVs?

Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, without pushing the change to EVs, and just jot really manage this situation well?

My money is on aspirations for option 2, but in reality option 3.

Elons character arc from a PR point of view is really interesting.

At one point I bet many of his current followers were loudly critical of him for Tesla disrupting the ICE vehicle industry. At that point he was seen as much more progressive.

But his mask has now been removed to show the opportunistic business man he is with very little moral standards. Becoming the enemy of many that had previously fallen for his PR, including me.

In my head he really seems like a comic book character.

I genuinely use this technique to get myself out go and exercise sometimes.

Seeing my body as a pet I need to take for a walk can be a weird but helpful mindset.

My comment specifically states that killing him wasn’t the optimal solution here, so I can’t see how that’s your intrepretation of it.

That’s my interpretation of it because you’re basically saying that because he was breaking the law (maybe you’re saying that it’s because he was breaking specific laws), it’s justified that he was shot and killed.

Whether you want to pussyfoot around the distinction between him deserving it and it being justified is beside the point from my perspective because I don’t believe he did deserve it or that it was justified.

Seems like we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Neither the article, or anything mentioned on these comments is claiming the victim’s ‘imnocence’. They are however making the point that EVEN if you do all of those things you shouldn’t expect to be shot and killed.

Your comment sounds equivalent of claiming girls that dress provocatively deserve to be raped. It’s just isn’t the point. The point is that he should not have been killed.

Coming up as 3 downvotes on my client. I wouldn’t say that’s 'so many Lemmy users ’ or am I missing something?

Makes sense that there would be some nerves involved then. Even if you’re not feeling them consciously. I’m sure there’s a risk to dating someone you’ve built such a good friendship with.

Good on you for going for it!

Nice. I imagine you have been looking forward to dating a lot?

You’ve known each other for 3 years? Wow that’s cool! How long did you know you liked her?

Can you counter point it rather than just saying ‘not thinking’? From these comments you’re coming off as the not thinking one.

It makes sense that Ukraine would cosy up to USA if USA has something Ukraine needs, no?

It’s not like someone can just pop out 100 children to skew votes

On an individual basis sure, but this still poses two problems:

1. Is there a group of people that typically vote a certain who are prone to having more children than other groups. Due to different cultures, this is likely true.
2. Why should parents of children get an extra vote over those who can’t have children? Personally I feel that havning had children should bear no influence on the power of your voice.

Hmm, I’d be wary to parents taking advantage of this.

Sucks for those who genuinely can’t have it though, and rely on herd immunity

Or cool a bit batch of your own soup at the weekend. Then microwave it for lunch.

I started playing chess on lichess, it has tonnes of tutorials and an AI you can set the level of. Really helped scratch my itch.

If Microsoft are worried about Linux now, imagine what they’ll feel once it activates!

Whilst I don’t want to argue about whether the appreciation of people in your life should be encouraged by a celebration day, I would like to point out that holidays aren’t specific to appreciating people . They can also be for appreciating things , such as natural phenomenon.

Personally I’d prefer winter and summer type celebrations on the equinox and solstice than Christmas and a seemingly random (in my country) public holiday at a point in the summer where it isn’t that warm anymore.

Nope. Exactly the same posts from the same community. Same comments etc.

Presumably there could be nuance to the situation that the chat bot is able to convey?

Triforce (by Yogscast guys) is excellent.

It’s just three funny, kinda nerdy, guys chatting shit. No scripting. Minimal ads. Funny stuff.
