Continuing the analogy, government agencies can absolutely eavesdrop on in-person conversations unless you expend significant resources to prevent it. This is exactly what I believe will happen - organized crime will develop alternate methods the government can't access while these backdoors are used to monitor less advanced criminals and normal people.

We've had one for awhile. Originally it was just to show solidarity with other progressive Tesla owners, now I hope it'll avoid confrontation and vandalism from people like the op commenter.

We're about to incur thousands of dollars of expenses uprooting our lives to flee persecution. I can't justify selling it, buying a another car, paying associated taxes and fees, then selling that vehicle in a few months when this move is wiping out our bank account already.

And what does that get me other than making a statement? It's only because of people like you that I have to worry about driving it anywhere.

As a Tesla owner, this is 100% untrue. I'm extremely progressive and LGBTQIA+. I now HATE Musk and I'm exactly the kind of person Musk hates. I bought a Tesla when Musk was in his "seems a bit crazy but wasn't a Trump supporter or a Nazi" phase. Many people bought them being even less aware of his antics until recently.

My financial situation, leaving the US in a few months, makes selling it and buying another vehicle a very stupid idea. Others are now underwater on their loans since their value has taken a shit. I have friends who own Teslas that like their cars and don't want to sell just because the CEO turned out to be a Nazi fuck.

It's easy to paint people with a broad brush, but it's the same lazy ideology the MAGAs use. Be better.

Edit: I'm glad the value is tanking, but I'd rather Musk be ousted or, better yet, be given a little impromptu extra ventilation in his braincase. I love/loved my car but now it's tainted and I hate that.

Or blasted.

I have Italian ancestry and I've always found these guys to be cringe, but I also get why they do it . Many people in the United States yearn for meaning and interpersonal connection in their lives. "Being an Italian" provides a prepackaged, very commercialized possibility of community with little effort required - you're just born to it, so instant acceptance, right?

The reality is often less Soprano's chic and more "nonno and nonnina were illiterate farmhands who moved to the US for a better life. Nonno died from mystery cancer and all of nonnina's bones dissolved after birthing her 15th child at 24. Now chew nonnina's birthday cake for her".

And wait for an answer. Don't just knock then immediately walk in. I'm nearly fifty and I'm still traumatized by this.

Same here. I've learned to chain my habits together (tooth brushing leads to pill taking which leads to shots, etc) but if I miss that initiating action, it's all gone.

Metroidvanie? Metroidvanii?

I think it's because they're raised from birth having only heard these absurd notions and many never consider if they are truly absurd or not. It's kinda sad.

Hey fellow ADHD friend! I also had a similar experience. It's really awful and scary, so I'm sorry you experienced it.

My solution was simple: break each tab into quarters. After I got used to 5mg, 10mg ended up being the dose for me. It takes the edge off of ADHD but without making me feel like my soul had been scooped out with a melon baller.

Of course, this assumes you aren't on an SR/XL/XR formulation, just straight medikinet.

Me toooooo!

To the rest it will be known as a superclowner

I too have so little going for me that I take comments out of context so I can make useless, vapid criticisms.

The Trump presidency never ceases to amaze me with how entirely lacking in class they are.

Oooh, I didn't know about that fallacy! Thanks for sharing, I'll add it to my fallacy gallery.

Snippity snap, that's quite the comment history. I tend to have a rotating stable of preferred vocabulary words, but not like that!

Whoa there, let's not make this into a sex thing.

/s...?

You bet!
