Criticism still needs to be based on something real in order for it to be valid.
And yet, in the end, yours only amounts to what you consider "likely".
Let's hold up on the self-congratulations a second.
There's a very long way between a multinational corporation's published policy and the practice at street-level, even if yesterday is the only report (so far). Is this a franchise? What authority does the store have contractually, or in practice? Is the policy enforced? Is there a history of enforcement? Was this a rogue employee, maybe a recent hire, with a political motivation?
Did you check the original thread https://x.com/AmmahStarr/status/1804608613916328334 for the context of the discussion? Did you check the account for a history of "rage-bait" before dismissing this woman's experience?
Skepticism is important, but caping for corps is seldom necessary. They pay people for that.
I hear you, too many are SUVs or "crossovers" (still "light trucks" for the purposes of scamming gov't regulations) as well.
But I'm pretty happy with my Leaf. 🤷
Somebody is really pushing an anti-EV narrative.
SNW is so good I'd sooner toss TOS if forced to choose (which I'm not). The musical episode is vastly better than Turnabout: Intruder.
When I want smaller than my ⚡🚗🍃 Leaf, I ride my ⚡🏍️ Metacycle or my ⚡🛵 niu N-GT.
The Leaf is a reasonable size, the Ioniq 6 as well I think.
My point was more about the fact that voting in our FPTP system, mathematically, is an act not subject to the same "black & white" fallacy label as a discussion about who is the best candidate, because it actually is a choice between the top two candidates, which is why splitting the vote has been an enduring strategy.
But your illustration about the Fallacy fallacy—that is to say that even if something were a fallacy, that doesn't in itself mean it is untrue—is also a fair point.
How did you read that into what I wrote?
You know what I meant.
Feels like a pretense to discourage protests.
I'm pretty sure they only care about their performative solipsism.
Windows 10 keeps turning that stupid news feed back on on my taskbar, too.
I work in finance, and the only time I use office is when my coworkers infrequently send me something locked in an Office document. Plenty of non-technical coworkers are addicted to it, but there's no need, because it's awful.
The Office programs are an ancient, bloated mess with an impossibly convoluted UI that to one uses more than a small share of.
The styles in Word and PowerPoint are never consistent: the bullets in lists never really match, fonts change randomly without reason, &c. These are intelligent people who have used this garbage for actual decades, and the WYSIWYG lie just results in a sloppy mess.
Even Microsoft wants everyone to stop using the desktop versions, and rent it from the cloud, which can be done from any OS.
For years, there was progress in moving governments away from implicitly endorsing Microsoft, and toward the simpler (but often still overcomplicated) OpenOffice/LibreOffice formats, and Microsoft engaged in some pretty shady behavior to stop it.
Markdown is better for documents, or maybe HTML, or LaTeX via LyX or something. Databases and legitimate file formats are better for data, with scripts for formulas. There are many simple alternatives around, but the addiction is so automatic and insidious, I can't tell you how often over twenty years I've gotten screenshots pasted into an empty Word document rather than just sending the image.
It's obviously all performative nonsense at this point.
If moral acts were determined by intent rather than by impact, the road to hell wouldn't be so thoroughly paved.
As I said earlier, good luck, I wish you well.
