He wanted to earn the Russians respect by joining the army and said that many Americans that move to Russia don't do it, then he's shocked to find out that he will actually be in a combat role instead of earning the respect by being a military welder that wouldn't see combat

'My parents fed me breakfast at home...' that's gold, the amount of brain cells that person has can be counted on one hand.

Yeah but the website URL has the name of the one product but the website seems to be called something different, why wouldn't you choose a different URL if you have plans to sell more stuff in the future?

I have so many questions The back comes off with Velcro? What's behind it? This website only sells one product, why can you sort by category? Why is the site called 'whisky project' but the website URL is fronttowardsfriend, the about page talks about products (multiple) there's clearly just intent to have the one product. Why is there a 5% discount for new customers? They only sell one product and 5% is $1 Is this a scam? I'm guessing the legs are solid to keep it upright, so if you leave it on your bed it has the potential to impale you and break? Why have legs? Why not a weighted bottom with sand? It just has a price, but no indication what currency it's in, why?

Yeah fair enough, it's been a long day, I didn't see that part

The article just says it was a "White Shavuot Party" which just seems to be a Jewish tradition, does anyone have any evidence that it was a pro Israeli event?

Apparently

More pointing out your excitement about the discussion.

I don't think Elon is a good person and he obviously has a lot of flaws, I'm just pointing out that tying Elon and his views to a race isn't fair to that race, you're also tying an American company to South Africa.

The line 'I very much get the idea that they would understand and appreciate the usage of the term' isn't great, you're speaking on behalf of a race and saying that they're all happy being associated with a neo natzi.

You don't need to have a meltdown, I just can't imagine you enjoy being called a dumb American and you're coming from a place of privilege, you need to have a rule that works for all races, many races take great offence to racists views against them, white South Africans may also be quite privileged, my point is that you shouldn't do it to any race.

Good golly goodness you got excited about this. So I don't see how 'we got this car to help the environment, now we're destroying it because to fight fascism' would take away from the video in any way.

Ellen moved out of Africa when he was 17 and he's 53 now, I would say he's more culturally American now than he is South African. Tesla is very much a proud American company. But mainly bringing race into it for no reason just feels racist, it feels like racism for the point of racism and that's never good, even if it's against white South Africans, you don't get to choose where you're born and not all people from one race are the same.

I'm not down voting your comments either

I had the same thought, but you would say that's the case if it was. Also 'AfrikanerKar' isn't great, I wouldn't use it

I could be wrong but I can't see anything to suggest they didn't buy that car to make this video

[–] Wmrus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Why? What didn't you like about the way they handled the situation? I don't care for the police but I think the way they handled it was honestly fine.
