Yep. And if not now, when?

Yeah… I’m not convinced. After this election, I think the answer is less “it takes everyone” or “it takes all kinds” and more “here’s evidence there are quite a lot of people we could do without”.

Edit: and a lot of the people we can do without are ostensibly lefties. You want to call maga folks stupid for being single issue voters, then you can’t be a single issue “conscious objector”. I hope if you didn’t vote for Harris you get the rough side of the next two years for being a magnum toolbag.

Edit 2: all you .ml shitbirds can also lick an outlet as far as I’m concerned

And how wild would that be? Biden shows up, shakes Trump’s hand, then garrotes him. What happens next?

The lucky thing is people are going to get punished for being stupid. It won’t teach anything, but here we are.

Oh no, it’s the consequences of our actions! What a fucking joke of a country we are in.

Must be american. Reading and thinking are just too much effort. Learn to fuck :).

How many Teslas have been purchased and how many Teslas ended up in this situation? While it’s a sucky design decision, it’s sucky in an extreme edge case. S/Could it be fixed? Sure why not. Has something equally as ridiculous killed people in Ford f150s, Honda odessys, or Toyota Camrys like stupid gas tank configuration or glass that doesn’t break or seatbelts you can’t cut? I would put money on it. But nobody reports on that because the cool thing to do is smugly say Tesla sucks.

And they do! I have two and they are shitty made cars, but they have an enviable charging network and are constantly improving software and features. Mostly they are making Ford/Chevy/Honda get off their asses and do something and that’s ok with me.

4 people. FOUR? 2 maybe 3 cars out of a fucking GAZILLION? Sorry for those people and their families but that’s not a percentage where I complain or make an effort to change anything as a consumer.

Dude shut up lol. Everybody is jerking off on Tesla for an admittedly gnarly problem that will affect practically no one. Yes it’s stupid, but so is your furious masturbation to Tesla issues at the expense of actually reading the comments.

And yes, expected values against risk are literally all that matter. If that was not the case, no car would ever move from the assembly line for fear of rolling over a toddler or crashing into a cyclist. Pucker up your flapping butthole you’re talking out of and collect yourself. People will still stroke your weiner for saying “Tesla bad” even if you resort to reading and discussion; it will be ok. Stop putting words in other commenters mouths.

Didn’t say I wouldn’t go back to manual latches, just not going back to ICE (or selling my almost paid cars) because elon is a twit or they are unreasonably dangerous in the event of a freak accident.

This is a stupid problem to have, but expected value says most people will never have it.

Huh. TIL.

Anyone who has ever been in a Tesla knows they’re a software company, not a car company. The cars are made like crap.

I still wouldn’t go back to ICE though.

Tesla rear doors don’t open on button press from the inside with no power, but I bet they do from the outside. Just like the child locks. I’ve never tried it unpowered to confirm though.

How can you NOT appear to talk down to someone who is Trump vocabulary / concept or less about issues that are actually complex and nuanced? Trump can talk out of both sides of his mouth to different groups with radically conflicting messages tuned to the audience. If anyone did that while trying to cater to the left, you would be immediately strung up for being duplicitous while at the same time being excoriated for being vague and nonspecific with your plans. No “concepts of a plan” are going to fly for someone running outside the Republican party.

Trump is basically bowling with the gutter guards up and it’s because the Republican electorate is angry and not exactly… uh… discerning when it comes to complex or academic issues.

For sure. A pinch or pinch and a half will do ya. 1/2 tsp and you’ve gone too far.

Probably a lot less safe (and harder to aim) if you don’t use the truck. Also unlikely they get all the way down unless you mine it in wheel shapes (increasing labor and also, luckily, danger).

Lol

I will say I think this outfit has a better chance of working if you’re a black dude, an indian dude, or I guess generally have a very dark complexion. Would not look good on my pasty ass basically no matter what.

I think that demands a more saturated pink tie. Putting that one on white would probably look extra washed out.

I don’t think so. The patterns are clashy, and neither color really is playing as an accent… But I think the worst part is the white collar against the pink tie TBH. To me this is loud but doesn’t say anything.

Edit: then again, basically no matter what vest, shirt and tie you bring to me I’m going to say no, esp if you’re going to accessorize like a train conductor… But you know, I might not be the target audience.

Any time you come across a question that starts with “should I use NA XXX” the answer is, unequivocally, no.

If you voted for trump and AOC you need to make sure you never leave home without your fucking helmet on. Fuck.
