Feeling compelled to tell internet strangers that you would never lose consciousness or composure if you were ambushed by someone seated next to you while you were restrained at the waist means you’re definitely very tough, very cool, and very experienced in hand to hand combat.

Put differently (so as not to imply high melanin is fundamentally superior):

Someone mutated to have lower melanin levels in their skin, which was useful to absorb more sunlight for Vitamin D production further north, and that mutation spread.

You can’t hide your secret tests from us.

Damn you’re really tough and cool.

That’s why they get paid the big bucks. To determine when it’s time to go loud.

Depends on the exact wording, medium you said it through, and jurisdiction you said it in.

Biden’s move leftward has been glacial in pace, measurable not by observation but by geological record and only by massive external pressure.

Harris is much younger. We could see change from her.

You don’t know what Air Mashals do if you think they’re the type of cop that intervenes in passenger vs passenger fights. They’re there to stop the plane from being hijacked or crashed by a saboteur.

How long do you think it would take to fly down to pick up a cop? Minutes, perhaps? Intriguing.

You’ve never been in a real fight if you’re that confident you’d prevail in an ambush by a crazy person while restrained by a seat belt.

You must be really tough!

Also, cops can’t fly.

Enshittification strikes again!

Why sell customer one thing when you can make it shittier and they have to buy it again?

Idle idle eeee

You get paid a living to moderate Lemmy?

Nah, it was a Rick Roll.

I wonder what the internet would be like if it was around for 1920s-30s Germany.

I will say it’s often mentioned in news articles that the Senate or House is GOP/Democrat-held/run, but Wikipedia is obviously a different thing.

To me that’s an argument for why fascists like cars, but not why car manufacturers run fascist. They’re pretty similar phenomenon, but not 1:1.

I say that because a lot of high level executives don’t give a shit about the products themselves, hence CEOs jumping ship to run completely unrelated companies.

Until I did homework on the situation in Gaza, I didn’t know Hamas* was de facto in charge, and arguably de jure.

The Wikipedia “redundancy” is designed for people like I was: completely ignorant on the topic.

That’s why people go to Wikipedia, to educate themselves quickly.

If it was the Hamas National Hospital I’d agree with you.

That’s certainly the first (and only) one I could think of.

Funny how cars and fascism go so well together.

It’s definitely a different line for everyone, which is why I asked them to self-evaluate to challenge their own thoughts about it.

It could be they’re ready when a standard battery is 300+ miles with a half hour charge up. Could be 500+ with 10 minutes to charge, etc. until we get to a place where it’s probably far outside our lifetime and it’s suddenly a hard no to EVs and they may have had no idea.

I just chafe a bit at vague “not yet” with no clear goal. It’s the bread and butter of bad faith arguments against EVs and I don’t like to see it spread, intentionally or not.
