I know it is en vogue to trash on trans youth in organized sports. But how many actual, concrete examples of "men dominating their daughters sports" can you actually produce? I know it is not zero, but is it even as many as 10 trans girls below Division I NCAA level that are affecting outcomes in competition? And even if it was more than 10, I don't see how that qualifies as "suffering under the tyranny

Even 1 is too many

Comment Re:15.5 million cars (Score 1) 78

We're already there. The average city commuter can easily just do a single fast charge once a week, and unlike a gas car, you can just find a charger that's near something else you'd be doing anyway, like at a grocery store, mall, or down town, and your total 'charging time,' defined as 'the amount of time you, personally, have to devote to the process once you roll up to the dispenser' is 'thirty seconds to plug the car in and tap your payment card' and 'thirty seconds to unplug the car and close the charging port.'

I'm curious, where do you live where all these public places like grocery stores, malls and "down town" have chargers out for public use?

Certainly no where I've lived or travel regularly.....

All is that is needed for mass adoption of electric cars in the USA, is to open the market to China, with no tariffs. If America is so great, let them in. I was born in Minnesota, and am an American, but I do not agree with these Tariffs, and Musk, and Trump. So... Open up the markets. Let the free markets decide what is best for consumers.

Sorry, but FUCK CHINA.

They are our enemy and giving them yet another foothold in our economy and infrastructure is just a BAD idea all around.

For me....the SOUND of the M is half the fun, it lets you know when you're typing, etc.

Silent is a deal killer for me on this one.

It's basically like how an electric motorcycle has exactly NO lure for me and most people that ride bikes....the sounds, smells, rumble and vibrations are half the fun of the experience.....I WANT to change gears manually, etc...makes you feel more connected.

To me, same with the keyboard....sounds and feel give me a large part of the experience.

Comment EU got fucked and fucked hard (Score -1) 187

Trump took the EU to the woodshed. They had to drop all of their protectionist tariffs they have against AmeriKKKan goods(I thought protectionism was ad?) and in return America puts a 15% tariff on all of theirs. Moreover they had to write a check to us for hundreds of billions. The tariffs will bring in a shit-ton of money. We can use this to replace the income tax and repeal it entirely.

The usual TDS sufferers are screaming it's a tax on AmeriKKKans but it's not. When's the last time an American bought anything made in Europe? I mean one of us, not the CA/NY American passport holders who write the media articles describing what happened.

Hey, I've got an idea - make things in America and there are no tariffs. It's weird but worth a shot, it could work.

On the contrary, it will have a ton of good effects. All DoS attacks will stop. Fraud will crash and stay there. Email spammers will go away. When alt-right trolls get banned, they will STAY banned. Forever. Imagine an internet without them. A boot stomping on 4chan's face, forever.

To me, the future is kind of 'scary' in this way: we will all become consumers. There won't be any outstanding people, who have a trait that many people adore. There will be no Humphrey Bogart, nor a Michael Jackson. There will just be AI's cranking out material, and the top 0.1% of randomly generated "art" will be appreciated. Somehow, it "feels" de-humanizing

I dunno...I mean, AI can't perform a live concert....unless everyone gives up on going to see live performances ,...music from people won't die...

His reply is a wonderful example of the way in which conservatives have become irredeemably stupid in the past few years.

Not really, it's that I've grown up my full life so far, accustomed to a certain level of lifestyle, convenience and preferences....and most of that without the government telling me how to live my life or force my purchasing choices....

I just want to keep it the way I grew up....and see no benefit to changing that, nor voting for that type change.

Your one ICE car will not make a noticeable difference but the collective emissions of the approx 1.5 billion cars is making a significant contribution to: the climate crisis; air pollution that causes asthma; etc - which will kill millions. So regulations on every one of us is to benefit everyone on the planet.

"I" don't care....I meant, Im getting older, and I've grown up with ICE vehicles all my life and my length and quality of life certainly haven't suffered in any perceptible way.

All this climate crap is WAY overblown IMHO. If you want sacrifice for the sake of the all mighty climate, please feel free...you be you.

but I don't need and do not vote for govt to force me to live a certain way or buy certain things, etc.....
