BEVs don’t have thermostats.

A big element of the New Republic’s failing was not “centrism;” it was ideological pacifism. The lesson it took from the Republic turn to the Empire was “militaries are bad,” and therefore unarmed itself.

Which is filed right next to the post about how evil the oil industry is and how we are facing a climate change catastrophe. 

We also can’t vastly improve public transit until we ban private car. We need the rights of way and we need the ridership. We need to phase out private car ownership as nearly universal while we phase in better public transit. 

Donnie Yen’s character never had a Jedi trainer; he was basically self-taught, so I think there was a ceiling. The mysteries of the force seem like a thing where you need generations of knowledge and experience and structure to truly utilize the way a Jedi does, and you can’t just learn it by yourself.

“Or dealers are colluding to maintain a high pricing floor on as many vehicles as possible.”

I suggest more healthy hobbies. Maybe ballroom dancing?

Intent matters. Throwing around “cis” (or white, for that matter), as an insult, implying that anything “cis” is lame and dumb and boring, is absolutely a thing people commonly do on twitter.

IDK, I’d be pretty pissed if I just bought a $60 game and a DLC came out before I had a chance to play more than 30 hours on. 

No Metroid Prime 4? (or remakes of 2 and 3)?

Ctrl-F “Tesla” or “Supercharger”

Didn’t an entirely new Zelda game just come out?

I mean, “Dread” came out only a few years ago and it was a triumph. And we just got the Remaster of Prime we’ve all been waiting for like, a few months ago.
