After someone mentioned me without tagging me on the Return2Ozma thread drama, I decided to Lemmy search my name to see what else I was missing out on. I didn’t realize I was so popular with the “People who defend tankies” demographic of Lemmy! Apparently, I’m a brainrotted liberal debate lord (simultanously, without any...
With the all-wheel drive Cybertruck’s current $79,990 price, it stands to reason the combined taxpayer cost for a vehicle and new UP.FIT features could easily top $90,000. <
I’d be pretty upset if my municipality was set to dump 100k on this trash.
Yes but we only have this poor state of EV infrastructure because they have dragged their feet. I also live in a rural area that is completely unprepared. Walmart is the only real store in town aside from a small, overpriced grocer. Everything I need is 50 minutes away. It’s not going to be completely possible for people in our situation in the near future but if hybrids are on the front burner for the big car corps, ICE will be still be a major source of profit. With EVs in the focus, there will be plenty of hybrids for the foreseeable future.
Fuck they don’t. Stop paying people to destroy your health! I stopped just like that. I take care of my father in laws who smoked until he was 75. Lost his leg due to poor circulation. Lost toes on second leg. Doctor was able to squeeze out circulation in one last hardening artery in his remaining leg. Told him if he didn’t quit he would lose that too. He stopped smoking the next day. Still has that leg. We use nitro patches to keep circulation going on his foot. If he gets a sore or cut it takes months to heal.
Fuck smoking! Don’t trade your later days for today.
I do have empathy. It is a very steep hill. For some, seemingly vertical. I also care very much about people’s health (and my own). Your health is more important than the urge or habit. My point is mostly that if we had the ability to be in our future bodies to feel the effects we all know are coming, that hill would be horizontal.

Droves of police officers descended on UC Santa Cruz early Friday morning, initiating a standoff with pro-Palestinian supporters, who have blocked off the campus' main entrance since Tuesday.
Imagine the feeling of putting on soldiers armor and gathering weapons to assault “violent” protesters. Then show up to see the unarmed kids and women you were there to assault.
I couldn’t imagine living through the shame without quitting that second.
The hate is proportional to the level of betrayal people feel. These people are scum(Amazon execs). Dave and the band rewarded them with a special people only concert for being extra parasitic on society. Shame is not unwarranted here.
