“And yet, Texas is still so gerrymandered, even voting harder probably won’t be enough to get him out of office.”

You know how society advances? By learning more and becoming more knowledgeable as a group. The problem the far-right have with that is that the better educated the masses are, the less malleable they become.

“will introduce potential security risks to our customers”

This is a good thing. Society needs to bring back shame. Americans are just exercising our first amendment rights.  

In the couple of trips I made to Massachusetts I didn’t really notice any level of hostility, even for my slow-poke driving style, except for one cab driver who wanted me to hurry along.

Bro has buyer’s remorse so he’s making it all up. This is not a new phenomenon, and between that and the entirety of a new England town conspiring against a dude because of his truck, I know what the likelier reality is.

They’ll just stop keeping track of crashes. They just shuttered the part of the Education Dept. which keeps track of test scores, so I think the idea is “if we stop telling people there’s a problem then they’ll think we’re doing a great job!”

Intoxicated people are a menace, whether they’re drunk or high.

I make an exception to Lotus, Donkervoort, Morgan and a few others. But the mega-bucks supercars are really tiresome and their owners even worse.

Tesla isn’t a car company, nor is it a tech company, nor is it an AI or Robotics company.

Even if they fired him tomorrow and took all of his stock away, I don’t know if I could consider one of their cars. To this day I still can’t bring myself to get Papa John’s pizza, and I used to love that shit.

words have no meaning anymore for these people and they have zero shame.

“Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents,”

Instead of complaining about clickbait, I just don’t click on it. As a result my feed is full of good creators (savagegeese) and I have no clue who any of these other people are (except TDIB, which I’m on subbed to b/c of his old Mustang content).

Could Musk be asked to shut the hell up in order to save Tesla’s reputation?

In any other major automobile manufacturer Elon would have been immediately fired for all the customer alienation stuff he’s pulled.

“[National Automobile Dealers Association] President Mike Stanton called the decision a “victory for the rule of law and a great outcome for consumers.”

1st gear: Of course Europe is getting angry. They’ve been here before, they’ve seen it before. The ‘that could never happen here’ is historical fact to them. We should take it as a warning.

Cringey clickbait titles and thumbnails are the worst all over, and I refuse to click on any of them on principle. That means my choice of videos is getting smaller by the day, but it’s better than feeding the stupid beast.

What the hell was we saving it for? I did not spend a lot of time digging into this, but it looks like a Viper ran you about $71K or $72K in 2002. (Yeah, this one is special, but I didn’t bother to spec this trim package.) That would be $123K in current day dollars. This was a stupid investment. Whoever bought it…
