  • Yeah he's only the single largest shareholder, he has absolutely no influence at all

  • the rest follow naturally.

    You must have a much higher tolerance for glacial paced change than I do.

    As someone who is aggressively pro-2a (although almost certainly for different reasons than you), I might have been able to legitimately see your point 10 years ago when the GOP was less actively hostile to the very existence of gay people. Unfortunately we don't live in 2013 anymore.

  • When that situation happens I guess we'll find out.

    It won't though, and is a fucking laughable attempt at a gotcha

  • Not OP but I think women are people, so yeah they should have basic bodily autonomy. Might not jive that well with the folk that view women as nothing more than property though.

  • Well yeah, that's because it is. Performing human sacrifices for the profit gods, which is what we are currently doing, is bad.

  • If there's an answer that isn't basically "well they're not on my priority list so they can get fucked", I'd love to hear it. We're not talking about some relatively benign issue like zoning laws or whether or not we should introduce a new sales tax to fund the park system. Sitting by complacently is actively tacitly supporting the policies trying to further these abuses, and it's not some trivial issue that doesn't matter.

  • And for plenty of policy points that's not an issue. When we're on the topic of basic human rights, I'm not entirely sure how you can handwave those abuses away because you want lower taxes.

    generic you

  • Their marketing is just incredibly childish and brash. Doesn't personally upset me, but it's certainly never made me want to check out their products.

  • I'm aware of that first part, but I'm not quite sure how it's possible to make a moral argument that basic human rights shouldn't be towards the very top of your list. The unfortunate reality of the matter is that even in the off chance your local R isn't completely awful, the policies that will be implemented on a national level if they manage to take control of the presidency again are. Voting for an R is a tacit endorsement of those policies.

  • Australia also had a peak gun ownership ratio of 6.52%. America's is closer to 125%. Literal order of magnitude of difference there

  • Honest question. How do you reconcile your claim about not being anti-lgbt when the GOP is very vocally and openly pushing anti-lgbt messaging and legislation.

  • Not sure where you pulled 8000lbs from, even a fully speced out expedition isn't going to be 6000lbs. Most non full sized ones, especially ones like the CRV or escape or something are under 4,000lbs. A model 3 weighs more than the majority of those smaller SUVs.

    Don't try to take this as any sort of pro-suv or anti-ev message, quite the opposite. Spouting incorrect bullshit makes people less likely to believe the actual facts, such as the increase of SUVs and trucks quite literally killing us.

  • For a certain portion, it's because some have become outright theocratic accelerationists. They actively want the situation to get worse, because that means Jesus comes back!

  • And had they reported it as "officials say it may have been" instead of "IT WAS 100% DEFINITELY A TERRORIST ATTACK FROM THE GAYCHINESECOMMUNOISLAMISTS" it wouldn't be a problem

  • I promise you the amount I save on my payment + gas is far more than the amount it costs me to rent a truck the very, very rare occasions I need one. The same goes for the vast majority of American suburbanites.
