I bet if your house slides in the water anyone inside may well die. You gonna move? If not, why? If it's because it doesn't seem probable, then revisit your comment to me. Half of one percent of probability is not "basic things that save lives", that would be seat belts, air bags, windshield wipers, a horn, etc. etc.

Oh look, the hilarious consequences of our own actions. Hey pensioners, I hope this was what you had in mind if you voted R!

Probably every vehicle has some number of stupid deaths. I assume you don't fly because Boeing fucked up. That's way more than 83 people if just one plane crashes.

It's just way cooler to shit on Tesla though. Very trendy. Very cool.

0.052% (232 / 443,956) fire rate.

Comparison to Industry Average: For context, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports an average fire rate of 1.5 crashes per million miles for all vehicles. Tesla’s fire rate of 0.052% (based on the reported 232 fires) is significantly lower than this industry average.

But it's not very cool to do research that way shrug

They were the only reasonable EV option for several years. They still have the best available charging network if any EV.

I'm not selling a car that is paid off bc the owner of the company stopped hiding that he's obvious trash.

God damn! The total is now... 10?

All less than 10 caught in cars in like 12 years? I mean, the cars are made like shit and it's SO COOL to shit talk a TESLA, like oh my god how cool!

But...

By the units we got a way to go here my man.

Best EV before the fascist made it evident that's what he is. Still best supercharging network available.

As opposed to the high friction vacuums we are used to.

Can you just rewrite it for us here now because it doesn't make any fucking sense? I dont agree with the guy you're replying to, but I can't understand wtf you're trying to say. It reads like it was written by a stroke victim.

Yep. And if not now, when?

Yeah... I'm not convinced. After this election, I think the answer is less "it takes everyone" or "it takes all kinds" and more "here's evidence there are quite a lot of people we could do without".

Edit: and a lot of the people we can do without are ostensibly lefties. You want to call maga folks stupid for being single issue voters, then you can't be a single issue "conscious objector". I hope if you didn't vote for Harris you get the rough side of the next two years for being a magnum toolbag.

Edit 2: all you .ml shitbirds can also lick an outlet as far as I'm concerned

And how wild would that be? Biden shows up, shakes Trump's hand, then garrotes him. What happens next?

The lucky thing is people are going to get punished for being stupid. It won't teach anything, but here we are.

Oh no, it's the consequences of our actions! What a fucking joke of a country we are in.

How can you NOT appear to talk down to someone who is Trump vocabulary / concept or less about issues that are actually complex and nuanced? Trump can talk out of both sides of his mouth to different groups with radically conflicting messages tuned to the audience. If anyone did that while trying to cater to the left, you would be immediately strung up for being duplicitous while at the same time being excoriated for being vague and nonspecific with your plans. No "concepts of a plan" are going to fly for someone running outside the Republican party.

Trump is basically bowling with the gutter guards up and it's because the Republican electorate is angry and not exactly... uh... discerning when it comes to complex or academic issues.

For sure. A pinch or pinch and a half will do ya. 1/2 tsp and you've gone too far.

Probably a lot less safe (and harder to aim) if you don't use the truck. Also unlikely they get all the way down unless you mine it in wheel shapes (increasing labor and also, luckily, danger).

If you voted for trump and AOC you need to make sure you never leave home without your fucking helmet on. Fuck.

How invest in either mentors or dementors.

Wouldn't that be great, and I hope you get the chance to vote for it if such a candidate emerges. The extra gerrymandering and crippling of voter rights or just, you know, suspension of elections between now and then may have something to say about it though.

Trump is not doing anything but saying "I'll do this! And I'll do that! And I'm the best at this!" And as long as he says enough bullshit all the voters say "of course he lies and says what he needs to say to get elected, but not about my thing!" Even if every week he contradicts the last thing he says.

Short memories, unsophisticated voters, and single issue voting mean this strategy will basically always work. Remember, they have voters with single issue in, and you (or at least many in this thread or on Lemmy) are single issue out. Maybe well meaning, but functionally not a particularly smarter approach to getting the best available leader. It's all "Fuck you, me!" and take the rest of us with you.
