Ideology aside, they make some very good PR
They immolate people per vehicle sold than the ford pinto. The have absurd numbers of points of failure; until a few years ago each door handle had over a dozen sensors and wires, all exposed to moisture and thermal cycling, and cost $500 each. They use a few hall effect sensors now, but still cost >$500.
A Huawei version of Android.
He received over a million dollars for the house in the end, plus the 5-10K in profit.
We live under Trump, and our last vote was a choice between Trump and Trump’s 2016 platform, what meaningful democracy?
You’re on the same trajectory as us, with a choice between “progressive” neoliberals continuing to hollow out social programs while poisoning indigenous people’s water at home and supporting wars of imperialism on the other side of the world, and conservative neoliberals doing the same, and you’re probably going to end up with the greater evil this time.
Also who the hell can afford a house?
You’d be surprised how many top level engineers are Chinese; there’s a joke about the AI race that it’s our Chinese vs their Chinese.
We don’t have that luxury.
Have you seen how big and white Canada is? There’s not going to be an invasion or even drone strikes.
So maybe don’t tell us we’re weird about our own nationalism/patriotism when said evil pillaging empire threatens to pillage us?
Canada has been helping us the whole time, I’m going to be even more flippant when Britain and the EU’s economies are next to be sacrificed to maintain the rate of profit.
Assuming you don’t work for Bombardier, neither of us has benefited from the spoils of empire.
Texas also gets its reputation from a sort of zealous immigrant effect. People who move to Texas are more likely to embrace a new identity of their perception of Texans. So you get people who moved to Texas 2 years ago and go around in cowboy hats and talking with a ridiculous accent, further reinforcing Texas’s reputation, even though those people are an extremely loud minority.
Probably, I just assume any right-wing weirdo would live there because of the confederate flag pickup trucks.
OK, excepting the weirdo MAGAs, but I assumed the Canadian equivalent wouldn’t be on Lemmy. Do they even have internet in Alberta?
I mean my home is also the evil empire pillaging the rest of the world, so if I believed them, on some level, yes.
But no, I’d laugh at them because of how absurd it would be.
Yes, nationalism is weird, why do you identify with the Canadian government? I sure as hell don’t identify with America’s actions.
Feeling insulted when the PM is insulted seems weird. Do you think Americans feel insulted when someone calls Trump a clown?
You’re not the guy who put tariffs on Chinese cars to appease the American car manufacturers, the US president calling him a stooge of America for doing his own bidding is genuinely funny.
Do you really believe everything in the USSR was dim and depressing? Do you also think everything is Mexico is tinted yellow?
What do you think would happen if he started doing things the people able to recall him didn’t like?
This country is so cooked.
That’s wonderful in cultures where that already exists.
For the waitress though, because of your “morals”, she’s choosing between rent and food.
I saw posts about people running it well enough for testing purposes on an NVMe.
ITT.
I love the scene where a group of sociopathic murders are all shocked at how scummy someone has to be to deprive a waitress of her wages, as if it’s justified because the owner doesn’t pay her either.
I’m not talking about all EVs, just Teslas. Most EVs don’t have a tendency to lock the occupants inside after a bad crash.
Here’s a random twitter user compiling news stories of Tesla deaths that prove it’s at least double the Ford Pinto: https://xcancel.com/ton_aarts/status/1593557636695445505
And what one guy on twitter can find is hardly exhaustive.
