Adding user accounts isn't really the metric that ANY web property reports on. It's all about daily active users, and you'll note that the DAU number isn't discussed. I do love that Al Jazeera used the picture of her wearing that shitty inside out jacket on stage like the clown she is, though. Nice touch.

Probably more in numbers than they lost, but they're all low dollar accounts selling nazi shit and low quality prepper meals to bury in your back yard.

or he's a dumbass with no self control and a head full of bad ideas that's pissing off Saudi investors that wanted in on the site so they could use it for global surveillance.

I suppose "unmatched" could also be at the bottom of the spectrum. It might make sense then.

Do send along the CR report where they put Rivian in 28/30. I look forward to that, because your graphic wasn't on the CR site, or The Hill's article about the CR article.

The problem is, you aren't. Because here's what they actually said in the article:

“Most electric cars today are being manufactured by either legacy automakers that are new to EV technology, or by companies like Rivian that are new to making cars,”

Simply stating the fact that most EVs are made by, existing companies or startups. Literally the only two choices that there are.

The Model Y comment:

Its Model Y, first introduced for model year 2020, is recommended by CR for the first time this year, with owners reporting fewer issues with its suspension, in-car electronics and general build quality than in previous years.

Again, pointing out that after four years of producing the vehicle, they finally have fewer owners reporting issues with major components of the car. and as they note in the article, they aren't weighting the problems that consumers report for the severity of the issue or the criticality of the component, but just counting any issues whatsoever that required repair.

This isn't even a controversial thing, CR has reported it multiple times. You simply didn't bother look at the source, don't understand the breakdown between Hybrid, PHEV, and BEV, and you're here pretending the article came to a conclusion that simply IS NOT stated anywhere within.

If you're interested in actually reading what CR has reported about most reliable EVs, you can find that here https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/best-electric-vehicles-from-consumer-reports-tests-a3759669425/

Do better next time. Bye.

Yeah, but he went to Israel to talk to a guy that was willing to trade money for looking the other way! Hasn't he done enough to sweep this under the rug??

Dude's outed himself as a POS so many times over the years, it's a shame it took this long to figure it out for most people.

Says the one that quoted a partial sentence to try to support their bullshit take. The article literally says this is the first year that CR recomments the MODEL Y, and only because they suspect the drivertrain issues have mostly been solved. After 7 years of production vehicles. Amazing stuff.

I'm guessing you're an investor but not an owner to be working this hard to bend what CR reported. What a shame.

Hilarious that you included the graphic proving you aren't talking about EVs, but hybrids, phev, and bev. You're confused about the topic being discussed, clearly.

Go ahead to their ratings page, select BEVs, and order by score. You'll kind the EV6 is at the top. If you had actually read their entire article, you would see that they said PHEVs are less reliable than BEVs as a class.

Tesla, bud. Sorry to tell you, it's Tesla that sucks.

Gonna make his lawsuit a lot harder on himself. I love it.

Yeah, the problem is it isn't Rivian. I own one, and I previously owned the actual shitty brand.

Recently, several non-union shops needed to increase pay and benefits. Unions even make non-union shops better. Better unions, better conditions.

One brand brings the average down. Can anybody guess which one? 🤔

When Biden ran in 2020, he faced bleak odds and needed to make concessions to voters to be more appealing. Nobody should ever apologize for holding his feet to the fire and making him offer more than just "I'm not a fascist clown". Anybody saying NOW isn't the time to make a candidate offer more than that is out of their minds, and does not care about democracy. Period.

Of course, the punchline to all of this is that Biden partially delivered on his corporate handout efforts, and has delivered nothing on his social programs or reforms that benefit actual people. Why? Because of people saying you should just vote for him without requiring anything of him. If he loses in 2024, it would be devastating to the US. But it will have been his fault, and his fault alone.

Structural change at this point is changes to the governance and Constitution of the US.

There's absolutely no possibility of the president changing any of the constitution that matters for Citizens United, and the best the president could do is propose to congress that the number of seats on the court be changed. Which isn't going to happen. Again, he promised on the campaign trail to enshrine abortion as a right, and he's done absolutely nothing to make that happen. That would be structural change, and he's not interested in that.

Also, the federal government has zero authority over state elections, so suggesting that a president could make structural change there entirely misunderstands how the US government actually works.

And until you get a functional democracy yes, advocating for not voting for the sole liberal democrat on the ballot is advocating for the rule of his fascist alternative

No it isn't. You've been lied to and duped with almost 50 years of bullshit parroted as truth. If Biden wants voters, he needs to offer them something that will get them to come to the polls. That's his job, not theirs. Actually appeal to voters better than a con artist.

that is a dangeroud delusion at this point

Uh huh. Says the person feigning concern for democracy while telling me that there's no choice but to vote for ONE candidate.

I do believe in representative democracy

You very clearly don't, nor the right for people to choose "none of the above" which is a fundamental form of expression.

but you no longer have one of those,

We demonstrably do. It needs several protections enshrined in law, but if you actually looked at state and local elections, which ACTUALLY matter much more than the figurehead in the whitehouse, then you'd see that we very much do have a functioning democracy. You might not like the outcome, and I absolutely hate it, but the politicians that promise what the electorate wants gets elected. And once they do, they change their district to guarantee future wins, but that's another point entirely. One that has actually started to be addressed by electing people that aren't just the democratic establishment. In fact, many of those districts were also gerrymandered by the democratic establishment.

It really seems like you're confused about how the US government(s) work, which is likely one of your first major problems. I'd suggest you look up how our state governments work, and what their relationship to the federal government is. You've made several mistakes in your comments that sort of demonstrate you don't quite get it, and yet you feel you're entitled to lecture people in the US about it.

Go set cars on fire until you get a funcioning system

We did that for a while, and guess what happened. OH! And Biden squashed the rail workers strike, and now we've had over a dozen major disasters from the railroads as a result. What a champion of the people over corporate greed.

Where are the massive protests demanding reform of structural issues on year two of the term? I missed those

You certainly did. Biden has been criticized by the actual left nearly as much as he has from the right. Do you not remember the protests about student loans?

The actual problem is, people get the government they deserve. So, everybody wants to bang their drum about protecting abortion now, but nobody did a damn thing about enshrining it in law for over 40 years before now. Why? Because nobody forced elected officials to do what the will of the people was. I've got dozens of friends that will tell you to your face that they will vote the democrat party candidate because they'll protect abortion. Some fucking job they did.

I promise there are better tools to improve a decaying worldwide superpower than advocating for it to be run by a fascist nutcase

That's not what voting your conscience is, and anybody saying that's what it is doesn't actually believe in democracy. Period. People should vote for who they want to vote for. Maybe not voting for pieces of shit in the first place for a change.

can learn from Argentina and the Netherlands’ mistakes

The US has a dramatically different form of government, especially compared to NL. Frankly, the president of the US matters a hell of a lot less than congress. But thanks to the idiotic math of congress, and decades of gerrymandering, and voters that are just tired of the bullshit not turning up, you get what the US does. A perpetual slide to the right. Our most "liberal" members of congress and certainly presidential cabinets of the last 45 years have been more right wing than any republican that was elected before then.

DNC says now's not the time to criticize like RNC does every time there's a mass shooting, needless war, epidemic, or financial crash. Now's the exact right time. Be better politicians and you won't have to worry about tiny third party margins.

The no replacement argument simply doesn't work for me. The actual argument being made isn't that there's no replacement, but that the person is addicted to doom scrolling and outrage, and there's no better source for that.

Let's review. They said there was nothing xenophobic. But the original weirdo had some BS to say about american universities. Textbook definition. They said that there was no ageism until I said something, completely ignoring the fact that the original person initially claimed I was younger then them so I had no experience. I responded noting that I've been in the industry quite some time, not as an argument from experience but as a retort to the claim I was new to all of this.

The fact is, the person you're now defending clearly didn't read the thread, and you're just here concern trolling. I provided links to retort the frankly idiotic claims about ASICs not being a far more popular choice than FPGAs, and it's hysterical to see you people coming through worried about the discourse rather than the facts of the matter.

Bye now.

Not really. Not worth responding to the rest.
