I’d still caveat that there are people not-online-enough to not know any better. Some folks genuinely just see a cheap EV with a good charging network. This site documented quite a few instances of “ I bought a Cybetruck because it’s all crazy and sci-fi looking, why does everyone hate me?”

who wouldn’t think twice about ‘bricking’ your car on a whim...

I think my favorite thing is Tesla’s becoming the “cheap used vehicle that is easy to get”. Quite a fall from their initial prestige. It’s really perfect timing with the Altima going away.

It’s not just this page, it’s all articles on Jalopnik. Same crap over at Kotaku. It’s really annoying.

It’s when your scroll bar hits the bottom of the page, you get bounced to The Root. Hopefully they are aware of it.

Something seriously wrong with this page. It keep automatically sending me to The Root. It’s done it over half a dozen times already.

More than half the country doesn’t have a passport - IIRC it’s at 42% do currently. Up from 15% pre-9/11.

Good thing he wasn’t born in New Mexico, those idiots would have deported him on the spot. <facepalm>

Ted is your problem and you get to keep him; we don’t want him back.

He’s really going to be mad when he gets deported and has to live out his days in Winnipeg.

long-awaited follow-up

Are we sure she didn’t refuse because she could see the inevitable — an army of Trek fans accusing the franchise of going “woke”* by giving the Enterprise to a woman and spewing endless misogynistic hate in her direction?

In Starfleet ‘flagship’ is really just a gold sticker that says ‘our most favoritest of ships’. Its fleets are just ‘here’s a bunch of ships’. Which is fine! Starfleet’s not supposed to be a military navy. They fill that role but that’s not what they’re designed to be.
