You have my sympathy, but it sounds like you had a super fucked up childhood and you're now externalizing that trauma onto an unrelated group of people.
Your uncle was a sexual predator, not a trans woman. Trans people are not usually gender fluid so they don't switch back and forth like your uncle and they certainly don't pretend to be a real relative to bully that person's children!?
Honestly it sounds like your uncle had serious issue with your mother, probably stemming from his own childhood abuse. Abusers are often abused. You don't mention them, but I'd bet your mothers parents were not great either.
Tesla is not worth 10 times more than Ford, but the stock market says they are.
In 2022 Tesla took in $81B in revenue, Ford took in more than twice that at $168B.
Rivian is also seeing between 100 and 200% growth year over year for the last 4 years, and is now pulling in over $5 billion in revenue per year.
BYD moved 530k units in Q1, and unless Tesla sets a personal best (not likely) they are now the Number 2 electric vehicle maker.
The 2024 numbers for Tesla are going to suck. Musk has alienated his target demos. They've already discounted their range, and have just now started increasing the price.
Tesla never paid for marketing because they had a celebrity CEO. What becomes of a word-of-mouth company when the word-of-mouth becomes negative and the cool factor evaporates?
24 hours later Edit: oof, almost 100k less than expected.
Reagan’s enshrining as a conservative saint was largely due to the efforts of Grover Norquist in the 90s.
Lieberman has no Norquist, as neither side cares for centrists. There will be some weird glowing op-eds from the usual corporate rags, but they lack the power they had in the 90s.
He will mostly be forgotten except in places like Lemmy, where he will pop up as one of those "hey did you know why we don't have proper healthcare?" TIL posts.
Facebook was extremely aggressive in getting their software preloaded on all hardware sold in developing areas over the last 20 years. So countries like India (with one and a half billion people by itself) have a large segment of users that think Facebook is the internet. It's Zucks ultimate walled garden.
3 billion of those people likely access Facebook for everything that we think of as online. Commerce, social networking, music, videos, it's all on Facebook.
I made it two paragraphs in, you need to talk to someone about your emotions.
You may think that you're not showing this negativity and sadness on the surface, but I can guarantee your potential partners are picking up on it immediately.
You can't build a successful relationship without starting from a good place. You're starting from a bad place with negative expectations each time.
Until you address the only constant (your emotions and negative self-image) in this cycle of rejection as you call it, you'll never succeed in a relationship.
Person 1 - "We want equal rights and protections for all people, fair wages, and the right to live healthy and happy without the threat of state sanctioned violence"
Capitalism - "Sorry, best I can do is performative gestures with no real world impact."
"No no, that's too obvious. BG Yossi Sariel it is!"
