There are trains available that will run on overhead lines where available, and diesel when they're not. There's also passenger trains that have batteries as well.

It's doable, especially considering how efficient trains are.

You can do that on the Connect app.

Although I quite enjoy laughing at the Internet communists.

I've always felt the serenity prayer was good life advice.

I think the number of people who are serious about that is very low.

You mean friendly jordies? I did hear about that, yes.

I do know most rubber is synthetic, but even making it from fossil fuels we will have enough that we will never run out.

I don't know who either of those people are, sorry.

I probably should change it, I just haven't bothered yet.

Are you on a downvote farming mission or something? This is the second comment of yours I've seen getting massively downvoted.

You do realise that stuff grows on trees, right?

Most apps, including Lemmy apps, open links in an internal browser which does not have those features.

I've got no idea what you're on about, to be honest.

The point is that she implied everyone who disagrees with her is racist and stupid. That's what we're debating.

Even looking at the original post, it sounds a lot like she's calling voters racist and stupid. If you say the arguments being made are racist and stupid, there is a clear implication the people are also racist and stupid.

You're not just accusing them though, are you? You're accusing everyone who disagrees with you a racist.

fake outrage.

See, you're doing it yourself. You don't get to decide if their outrage is genuine or not.

made for city dwellers and ignores the plight of the few who grew up in remote areas and don't have the finances to move.

Basically this whole community really, if you add in the trades and rural workers.

It's something you see online a lot online, and that is people dismissing opinions or viewpoints as racist offhand without considering them, and I'm glad people are pushing back.

Debate the point, not the person.

Calling someone a racist is a pretty serious accusation, and a direct attack on that person. Are we really surprised someone will bristle at the accusation? Or dislike the fact someone is dismissing their views outright based on such a generalisation?

Comparing a piece of tech to something your children will inherit isn't really a fair comparison though, is it?
