Capitalism

I leased a Kona EV for the last couple years and I really liked it. Great city car, albeit a little cramped on the interior. The range was great but the charge time was pretty ass, making long road trips quite tedious.

I have the Ioniq 5 now and I like it almost as much. The range is a little better but the charge time is leagues ahead; more than twice as fast. It’s bigger and feels like a boat in comparison with the Kona but I just tend to prefer smaller vehicles. If you go with the Ioniq I’d recommend the AWD, it makes acceleration so much smoother.

If people are not held accountable for breaking laws, then laws mean nothing.

Isn’t fury one of the seven deadly sins?

Doesn’t even have to be radioactive. Too much salt will kill you, as will any rock with sufficient mass and velocity.

Feels like a Facebook boomer meme

You mean the one currently spiraling into “murdering citizens in the street”-level fascism?

Too late, for me at least

I just installed Linux Mint last weekend. Working great so far!

My Linux journey over the last ~18 hours:

I followed a YouTube video on how to install Linux Mint on a flash drive last night around 11pm and got it to post before going to bed. This morning I woke up at 9am, made coffee, then spun up my new OS, configured my system settings, played around with some extensions, then downloaded Steam and a few games and had at it with no fuss.

IIRC it may be about avoiding oversight/keeping it tightly classified behind executive privilege.

Here’s the video if you’re curious.

I saw a compelling theory that it’s a data center

Lol I was also confused, we can be dumb in solidarity today.

I respect my community, not the authority that governs us.

It’s not even a stretch of the imagination to come to the idea that they’d say, “she disobeyed, therefore she deserved to die”.

They eagerly dehumanize anybody who diverges from their strict ideals. Remember how Kristi Noem admitted to shooting her dog dead because it behaved like the big untrained puppy that it was? She told that story because they believe that is a reasonable response to an untrained, young and full of energy dog being disobedient.

In their mind, Renee Good was no better and deserved no better than that dog.

It’s so dumb because they could so easily score some points by throwing him under the bus and saying, “no he crossed a line and should face justice” but no, they’ve got to be as evil as fucking possible like it’s compulsory.

I guess what Trump actually meant by, “Drill, Baby, drill”

Oh that actually makes a lot of sense!

The idea that you’re “supposed” to spend $X on a ring is absurd. Are you getting engaged to show off your wealth or to commit to a relationship? What does spending excessive amounts of money on a trinket have anything to do with the latter?
