This is either photoshopped or it's an ironic conservative meme meant to suggest that interracial + interfaith marriage are equivalent to pedophilia.

Although I do believe Elon has been acting like a fucking maniac for the past few years, I would still buy a Tesla if I had the money for it. There’s absolutely no other electric vehicle on the market with so much tech and so much power for so little money.

Quality? For sure others are better in this regard. But just pure fun and power? No other even comes close, and the ones that do (Porsche Taycan, etc) are much more expensive to buy AND maintain.

There’s a reason Tesla model 3 is the best selling electric vehicle in the WORLD. Shit’s good yo.

We have to know how to separate Elon, the character from the products and services his company provides. (except Twitter, it’s gonna burn to the ground.)

I bought a Tesla because I wanted an electric car with certain features and all the other brands, sold thru dealerships, insisted in charging a ‘low stock’ fee of $6-$10k that I wasn’t willing to pay, even though I prefer some of the other options.

If that makes me a tool… well, ok I guess. I’ll be in the shed if you need me

Wow, spoken like an absolute tool.

Don't really understand the energy spent on this matter. Just vote with your wallet. Don't like Tesla? Awesome. Don't buy one. Like them? Go ahead.

People are allowed to like and dislike things and not everything is run on a manichean paradigm of extreme hyperbole where things are absolute shit or the best thing that's ever happened.

A Tesla seems, objectively, like an okay car that's fun but usually comes with drawbacks and QA issues. Some will be more enthused by the latest gadget. Some wont.

Then after that, Musk as a public figure, the bro hype, stupid dodgecoin memes, etc... All of that is just noise.

other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don’t matter.

You know you can post an unpopular opinion without being a completely unlikable cunt, right?

I own a Model Y, don't give a fuck what Elon does or says. I own a Ford too and couldn't tell you who the hell the CEO of Ford is. Their personal opinions have fuck-all to do with the product, in my opinion. I test drove one, loved everything about the car, the charging network is objectively better, and I'm a big fan of self driving so that's a bonus. I'm a little over a year into ownership and there's absolutely no complaints I have about the car, it's been a great experience.

Now the question is, why do you have such strong opinions about what cars other people buy? I've had a great experience with my Tesla and don't know of any better way I could've spent my money on a vehicle.

You must live your whole life buying from only neighboring farms and individual creators, right?

I am curious which farm produced the smartphone and/or computer you’re using to browse this site?

What about Bink?

It's both cute and an anagram of KBin.

It does seem like it. To quote GabeN, piracy is a service issue. Between Bandcamp and Spotify, it's pretty easy and affordable to buy/stream whatever music you want, whenever you want. That really cuts down on the incentive to pirate.

I personally listen to a bunch of fringe foreign music that's not available for easy purchase, so I pirate that still. But whenever new Jeff Rosenstock or whatever drops, it's easy in a way now that it wasn't 10 years ago to just legally buy it and support the artist.

I’ve loved Technology Connections ever since I saw his riveting hour long video on dishwashing detergent. I don’t even have a dishwasher.
