People with ordinary Teslas might have bought them before Musk was a total ass. And apart from some dumb ideas like steering yokes and poor emergency releases and build quality they’re not that bad.

The Cybertruck is objectively bad and deserves ridicule regardless of what Lengthy Nutria does.

I thought this was gonna be about how Europeans take vacation the entire month of August and fuck off after 5pm.

But somehow I think those things and our lack of tearing the country down until we get our way are related.

Go to a Streetlight Manifesto show. It will change your life.

Anyone else remember when Phil Schiller bored the Macworld expo to death explaining why RISC was better than CISC?

My car has standard bulbs but with lenses that pivot to achieve the same effect, but I’m dreading the day that one of the servos breaks and my car starts looking like Forest Whitaker

I’ve beeen an Apple user long enough to remember when “sideloading” was called “installing software.”

Enshittification is subtle and started long before we realized. Weird nerds who wanted power over skill corrupted the internet back in the late 90s.

Me too but they won’t let me in the play place anymore :(

And yet the Republicans have taken over the entire government.

Maybe people don’t care about politicans lying. Maybe they expect it.

Maybe the Democrats are playing chess and the Republicans are strutting around and shitting on the board.

I’m so sick of people pointing out Republican hypocrisy like they give a damn about it.

The Democrats have had power for four goddamn months over my entire life. Maybe they should start lying and cheating so they can actually win a goddamn election.

Imagine how much productivity we’d have if we cut work to 0 hours per week

Probably for similar reasons we can’t go back to small cars: People are getting older and can’t handle them.

ETA: Old people need giant text so they can read things. Big screens show more big text. They also don’t want to drop down into a small car, so they buy SUVs and trucks. So they make SUVs and trucks and great big screens for the old people who are most of the population.

Source: I am an old person. Except I drive a small car because it’s fun

There were four republicans running unopposed on my ballot in 2024.

Because they use water for more than making steam. Much more water is used to cool the steam condensers and is often just dumped into the surrounding environment to cool off. Turkey Point in Florida has miles of canals that cool this water down.

If you don’t believe me, then listen to the IAEA who created a water management program for just this reason:

Countries in water scarce regions, and considering the introduction of nuclear power, may show concern on the requirement for securing water resources to operate nuclear power plants and search for strategies for efficient water management. Experience has shown that nuclear power plants are susceptible to prolonged drought conditions, forcing them to shut down reactors or reduce the output to a minimal level.

If you send the water through a bunch of pipes it needs treated before it can be put back into the environment. This is true of any industrial process. This takes it out of circulation for a while, and in an arid state like Texas that’s a waste.

And reactors need a lot of water, which is why they’re built next to the ocean or a lake or something.

Building them doesn’t waste water, running them does. In a place with a lot of water they make sense but any industrial water usage in a place with limited water supplies - when there are lower usage alternatives - seems wasteful

One of the windiest, sunniest, emptiest places on earth and they want to waste water building reactors instead of renewables.

Hell, the geology means you can store energy in the ground using pressurized air.

Why can’t we be critical of democrats by being selective in the primaries?

Because half the time they don’t have primaries and the other half they call anyone making good arguments “unelectable radicals”

Who you calling a liberal?

And JSON is pronounced “javascripton“

So if a moistened bint lobs a scimitar at me I don’t have to pay taxes?

Maybe we’ll use newsgroups for actually talking to people again
