35-45, such a weird fucking age.

I think they meant in the future when the form factor is the same as wearing glasses.

My glasses are on my face every minute of every day, except when showering and sleeping. I’m uncomfortable when they’re not there - and not just because I can’t see, but because I’m so used to it.

That’s probably the future - people being uncomfortable if a screen isn’t in their vision every waking moment, because it’s as physically comfortable and as “normal” as wearing glasses, and more comfortable than looking down at a phone.

It’d be an amazing feat for technology, but similarly as dystopian as having a social media-feeding PC in your pocket, or just any PC if you’re another generation older. Future people will eat it up though, just like we eat up the phones.

Now I’m imagining marketing where the old millennials are staring at their phones, and the young people are complaining about how grandpa never engages with other human beings or makes eye contact - but they’re still scrolling TikTok while talking to him.

I think you’re supposed to stay home for the primary, then loudly complain about the nominees.

Imagine you’re working on a small engine, and then out of nowhere a black woman exists, asleep in her bed, and you didn’t have a gun to shoot her with. Bam, you’re dead.

Thats exactly what they mean when they complain about wait times in other countries. In their mind, it’s better for other people to suffer and die than to be in front of them in line. Especially poor people.

He knows GOP voters don’t follow up on anything and their memories don’t extend beyond the last Fox News show they watched. That’s why he can say shit like this knowing full well he won’t come up with anything.

In the US, public transportation is so bad that a lot of used cars come from rental companies. People fly somewhere and then literally need to rent a car to get anywhere from the airport. The rental companies tend to buy new cars and sell them around 40k miles.

Another big source of used cars is from people leasing their vehicles, then upgrading instead of buying out. It’s very common to find 3-year-old cars that just came off lease.

Both of those should be easy to incentivize - require rental agencies to maintain a high percentage of electric in their fleet, and make leasing electric cars significantly cheaper than leasing ridiculous SUVs - either by subsidizing them or by taxing the leases on high-mpg ICE vehicles.
