No good reason to support a monopoly. Sure, I know we can't help some monopolies (grocery stores, internet service, etc.), but this is an entertainment thing.

There are unlimited ways to be entertained nowadays and YouTube is not a necessity. Let's see how well YouTube gets by if we all stop watching for fun, and instead only watch when we have to, such as when we're trying to learn how to fix a car the one time a year we need it.

Has someone pulled this joke on other cars? I feel like I should have seen someone bring this up by now--how can this be the first time it's happening, unless the Cybertruck lacks some design or feature that other cars have?

I will continue to never give Nintendo any of my money on account of their litigiousness.

I'm going to vote even harder

Yeah, 100% the cop's fault. If a person feels it's better to shoot an innocent bystander in the head than risk being stabbed, then they're in the wrong line of work. Get out and let someone with better judgement have a go.

How else will the cops plant drugs in your car if you don't roll your windows down? Duh

Okay ladies, can we please focus on the luggage for five minutes before we get distracted? Haha

Grow up

I think anybody who is sex trafficked for a year should legally get a freebie. Anybody who is willing to abuse or sex traffic another human being should just be at peace with the possibility of being ended by their victims. Good thing I don't make the laws, I guess?

"Help me build my echo chamber."

Its a step in the right direction. They've gone from having hundreds or thousands of AI reviews to having one or two real reviews for the same price. In theory, anyways.

Agreed. Not everybody can or wants to own a home even with a 25k bonus. Some people want the freedom to move around and explore without being bound for any more than a monthly or yearly term.

The solution is to pump up availability and let the prices correct themselves. Bind pay CEO as a multiple of their employee wages, and address economic shenanigans like stock buybacks and tax loopholes so that people end up with a larger piece of the pie--that way people can do what they want instead of being forced into one option or another.

Yeah, I thought Google was so cool around 2004. Now I can't wait for them to become irrelevant. I need to stop using "googling" as a verb...

One of the fundamental principals of the RCRA is that dilution is not an allowable solution to pollution. Otherwise, you could just say that any amount of pollution is below applicable concentrations after it mixed into the oceans, atmosphere, whatever. And any company could emit as much as they wanted as long as they diluted it. Oil spills could simply be left alone because they'd eventually distribute throughout the earth.

Concentrations must be considered as they occur in their process streams. The process stream must meet certain requirements first and foremost, and it must be further checked to see if that could significantly affect the air or water in which it is emitted, just to make sure its good to go since water flow, temperature, and wildlife migration change throughout the year. The same is true for air emissions as well.

Forgotten benefits of gasoline: you can fix it yourself and you're not locked into a shiny new consumerist downward spiral that demands you buy a new vehicle every ten years when the car can't go 200 miles in a single charge anymore? And the next guy who gets the battery powered vehicle is just worse off than you were, as the poorer along us suffer even worse condition vehicles and the risk of massive expenses in the way of new battery failure. Why is nobody concerned with the fact that batteries are going to lock us into excess and unavoidable consumerism as they degrade? Engines -might- fail, but batteries -will- fail.

List one battery powered device that isn't basically disposable.

The other guy is being dumb. He's trying to tell people what they do and don't need, and that's not going to work; especially when you are considering people who are stuck on ICE cars for the exact reasons you're saying.

I love my ICE vehicle, but I've said many times that I'd consider a battery powered vehicle when I can get 500+ mile range. The last thing I'm going to do is allow myself be inconvenienced by something I don't care about, and this is the story here. I'm passionate about my WRX, but I could never be passionate about a battery and electric motors. When I switch, it'll only be because the benefit is incredible and undeniable. People will simply not convince me that a 300 mile range in optimal conditions is going to suit me, because things never play out like the paper specs say.

Yeah, why were you in the left lane? Slower vehicles keep to the right, jackass

I dunno if it's an optical illusion, but I feel like you can see the tracks buckling under the wheels on account of the incredible weight.

If YouTube were an independent company, I would be much happier to pay like I do for Spotify and even (borderline) Paramount Plus. I have no problem paying artists for their time, and I have spent thousands and thousands on commissions and merchandise from independent people and art businesses. Google already has enough money. I would rather save my money for small(er) companies who actually need it.

If people stopped supporting these ultra-consolidated megacorporations, we might have a healthier economy and better worker's rights overall. But what do I know lol

It was just the Republicans who had a problem with it. Seemed like Biden was doing fine, so why complain? Haven't you heard of this concept of giving someone a "taste of their own medicine?"

200% justified lol
