Saying we "cannot wait" just means we have to move faster with better alternatives. We cannot just settle on a impractical and ultimately doomed idea. The oil industry is the ultimate winner if we are stuck with BEVs. It just means millions of people will have zero options for transportation, eventually leading to a political situation where governments around the world will have allow the continued existence of fossil fuel cars.

The fundamental problem is that battery powered EVs, or BEVs, need vast amounts of raw material when manufactured. That basically guarantees that BEVs are never going to be cost effective once you get past small and short-ranged cars. That ensures that BEVs are simply not going to be the main type of cars. They are really ideal for things like e-bikes or golf carts, not larger vehicles like SUVs or commercial vehicles.

In reality, society needs to focus on non-BEV forms of zero emissions transportation. Ideally, that means more mass transit or walkable neighborhoods. But for situations where the car is unavoidable, it is almost certain that we have to find a true replacement for conventional ICE cars. If not e-fuels, then something like hydrogen cars.

Without delving into the question over how good the game is, this sounds like a company that simply has the wrong processes in place. A case of "working hard" instead of "working smart." As a result, they waste a lot of time and resources on things that ultimately don't matter. I'm sure the person in question worked really really hard on the game, but it's mostly pointless and ineffectively effort.

I don't know about you, but it doesn't really make sense as a product to me. If all it is is some extra raytracing features + slight resolution bump, then it's not really worth it. Especially if it is a significant price increase over the regular PS5. And if you need significant development work to achieve those results, then I can see many devs just giving it a pass and not bothering to add any features.

Sounds like a classic push poll or a click-bait study with the goal of making headlines.

Scientific polling, outside of a handful of well-funded firms that are legitimately trying to find out voter intent before an election, is basically dead. Without landlines it is extremely expensive. So very few things are even worth polling. Most forms of polling have pretty much stop existing altogether. What's left are more or less the scam artists and unethical marketing firms. As a result, you can no longer trust polling of this nature anymore.

The claimed figures are arguably too clean. Wouldn't be surprising if it was a bad/fake poll. If 1/5 of young people were really Holocaust deniers, we'd absolutely hear about those types of people all the time.

It's also known as Appeasement. Liberals that always compromise on everything, especial their core beliefs, are basically part of the problem.

We are not obligated to believe in Marx either. In fact, last I check nearly everyone agreed he was wrong on a lot of things. It's all outdated extremist rhetoric, regardless of where it came from.

Same-old closet fascist shit you always hear. It's pretty obvious you don't care how many people die. So none of your rhetoric holds up to scrutiny.

[–] Hypx@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Pretty obvious that's you.

Yeah, same pro-fascist shit as always. Seen your type a thousands times now.
