Here goes TokenBoomer, trying to get people to not vote again. Paid operative? Republican shill? Just deeply focused on pushing antidemocratic memes for the lulz?
You decide!

Must mean to be less nice. /s
When I bought my EV, the dealer helping me talked shit about EVs the whole time. The job attracts bros who like muscle cars. EVs are still small PP cars to them. I got a great deal, though, so I couldn't complain.
I hadn't really thought about it. I really enjoyed the MCU through Endgame. I don't see movies to be challenged or need it to touch my soul to enjoy them. I feel like I was much more clued into what was coming next with every movie I saw and that they built on each other. I didn't really understand why I lost so much interest in keeping up to date.
Your post makes so much sense, though. They really did break up story flow. It feels like someone let got of the reigns and let directors and writers have too much freedom and lost some of the magic in doing so.
Just because you're too narrowly focused on 1 issue in 1 place in the world, to see the difference doesn't mean there isn't one.
It's also pretty obvious that voting from your choices doesn't make you a 100% supporter of their beliefs or actions. We aren't electing our clones.
It's the trolly problem and always has been.
Still genocide for Palestine, but also Ukraine and Taiwan, maybe? Also, untold deaths in the US resulting from a further degradation of our rights. Maybe even a full flip to a dictatorship running the world's largest military.
Pretty bad.
Oh well. There is nothing I can do about being born and living here. Since I don't think my fellow Americans' reproductive rights should be taken from them, I'll happily wash my hands in Palestinian blood to do that.
I mean, I don't think that's the actual choice... but if crazy people online say it is, I'll make that choice. I guess the people actually involved in the conflict will just have to be disappointed.
The problem with this rhetoric is that it just reinforces an echo chamber.
If anything, I've got no reason not to vote for him since I already have blood on my hands. And if I voted for someone else and they also end up not stopping another country from doing disagreeable things, then I get blood on my hands there. There's blood on everything. I don't care anymore. I'll vote for Dem because they cause me the least problems and sometimes even do good.
If you say I've got blood on my hands for that, I guess that's too bad.
I would still rather just see the price ahead of time and not have a range of tipping % applied. It's similar to how I think taxes should be included in all prices.
The alternative definitely won't become the profit sharing it is now, though.
I actively deduct service fees applied to my cheque from the tip at restaurants when they say it's to pay for increasing labor costs. I also never go back and tell the lead why on my way out, though. It's too much. They say they do in in lue of raising prices, but they are just obscuring the raised prices again! And it hasn't stopped any place from raising the listed menu price as well.
Consequently, I rarely go out anymore.
They aren't exempted from minimum wage in California, one of the larger populations in the US. Are you sure you aren't attributing incorrect assumptions to one of us?
Look in the mirror.
Tesla almost always works. Electrify America is like 90% operable every time I've used one. Charge Point is a literal 50/50 (last station I visited 2/3 were broken) I've never even seen a Blink charger.
The charger at my house has been working great for 7 years, and it's installed outside and gets weather, but it's California weather, so it never long-term extremes. It also where I charge 99% of the time.
The one that came with the car was a 120 volt, and I think I've used it once, but it was too slow.
It was the most obviously "Fuck this guy." made up scandal.
I feel like it wasn't even perceived as political but just rude. If not for all the surrounding events and years since, I would have believed it was just someone trying to make conservatives look petty. Now I know they actually are.
