I'm the same way. I don't block people I disagree with but my tolerance for assholes is quite low. I block multiple people each day and have been doing so for over a year. When I see a thread about Elon or Trump for example I just go in and find all the most toxic commentors there and block them. Again, not because I disagree but because I don't want to see incivil assholes in my feed. If I see someone write mean comments I assume that's what they do and I want nothing to do with them. Currently my blocklist is around 600 users long.

My 17 year old truck when it was new cost half of what electric vehicles cost. I will switch to electric eventually but this'll probably take around 25 years.

Tempered glass is much stronger than people imagine. It breaks easily with the proper tool but without one there's a good chance it wont no matter how hard one hits and kicks it.

10 year old is too young to walk alone to town but 16 year old can be trusted with a car.

It's not unique problem to Teslas. People burn to death in their cars every single day. Most of these cases simply aren't newsworthy enough to write articles about where as Tesla on the other hand is under constant scrutiny which skews the image of how safe or reliable they actually are.

Assuming we're talking about a car crash in which the vehicle doesn't catch on fire, Teslas are among the safest vehicles you can buy according to both IIHS and Euro NCAP

What does greed have to do with spreading misinformation? Even the term itself implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

We're talking about spreading misinformation, which by definition implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

I don't think tax cuts alone are going to make it possible to live off single person income.

All I have seen is that self driving cars will decide to kill people because they cannot make decisions about life in a way that preserves it.

Do you have any examples?

Male genital mutilation isn't really a thing where I'm from so I'd say probably not.

 

Is it simply: involuntarily celibate, or does it come with a package?

To me, "incel" has always meant someone who’s simply just celibate against their will, but it feels like the term now also implies a specific worldview or even a subculture. Does identifying as an incel automatically come with those negative beliefs around gender and society, or should those two have separate terms? Has the definition changed?"

 

There's no freedom in having to do something but you're also not free to choose your wants.

Maybe it's better to just live and let life happen instead of thinking about what could've been. What ever happened is the only thing that could've happened.

 

I can only imagine the difference it would make if instead of telling about your idea you could show it
