As a British person with a conscience, Daily Mail as a news source? Eww.

Well I will send an email to Ford to cancel the whole project then. “Scrap it, boys. There’s a guy on the internet who only hauls stuff in his 2WD speed bump scraper, so no need for the Raptor.”

Ehhhhh this dude’s saying the winds were only gusting 23 mph when the plane cut through:

Are you a Confederate economic apologist? Who claims it was about states rights and protecting the southern economy? Which was supported by the oppressive enslavement of human beings? What narrative or perspective that actually matters am I leaving out? Southerners who didn’t have slaves? They had it pretty good…

Nobody here is arguing that the Civil War revolved solely around the issue of slavery. But it was indeed one of the biggest aspects, and there’s no arguing that. I assume you’re read the articles of secession, all of which mention slavery and the subjugation of black people as main reasons for why they were seceding.…

Oh shit everybody... A university student has arrived! Everybody shut up and listen, were all about to LEARN SOMETHING!!

Haha!

Wow, so taking a History 101 class makes you qualified to determine the motivations of the Confederacy? Well, I guess we’ll just have to ignore the reams of actual History professors who say otherwise.

Luckily for you, a cringe is but a minor inconvenience. For MANY MANY others, this is another in a long list of inconsiderate reminders of centuries of brutality against their ancestors.

If hearing that something that falls somewhere in-between “stupid” and “offensive” for millions upon millions of people is crappy branding counts as a “lecture” that hurts you, perhaps some toughening-up of your own is in order, chum?

I’d like to point out that “Hitler” was just a family name in Germany and the swastika had roots in Hinduism and Buddhism, but to quote an idiot, “here we are.”

Lecture?

If my ancestors had been enslaved for hundreds of years, later freed but oppressed, and later legally granted rights but still oppressed by a system of institutionalized racism, I wouldn’t think I was being overly sensitive.

And the name Adolf is just a name, a name with a long and storied history but we still tend to get hung up on one particular guy who kinda ruined it.

Semantics mean jack without context. And words have tons of context whether you like it or not.

Lazy rendering right?

Why isn’t your face in Gizmodo?

Those figures are including fuel costs - I.e. total cost for mileage in the Lincoln would’ve been ~$70,000 inc fuel and maintenance. In the Tesla it’s just maintenance costs, as the Tesla gets free supercharging.

It’s lorry

God you fucking communists. They’re only charging what the market will bear. And clearly if there’s a big enough demand by desperate, hungry, starving, and trapped people, supply is limited and prices will increase accordingly.

Embarrassing to be seen in? Are you a middle schooler being driven around by your parents? It is quirky and different in a see of vanilla hatchbacks and crossovers. Guess I have just never given that much thought to appearances with my car. Interior and driving experience are what matters because it is what I see…
