Yeah isn't the election on the 8th? Like in a day? What are they supposed to do until then?

Dude we're not talking about people who live in a trashcan ok? They couldn't give a rat's ass about cars or petrol prices. There's lots of people even with jobs that are pretty poor, and they need to have a car to get anywhere also, and their shit landlords didn't actually build any parking but they have to park wherever they can.

And even if they are complaining about parking, they still can't run a 200m cable across the street to their car to charge it. None of this is "solved", like people here like to comment, just because they just thought of it 5 minutes ago.

So that makes for 90% of vehicles though right?

No, just on every damn block. There's one literally around the corner from where I live, and another 1 minute in the other direction, and another 2 minutes in another direction etc. Plus it takes ages to charge a car. Yeah 30 minutes over a coffee won't kill you yadda yadda, except you get there and everyone is waiting to plug in their car. Have you ever been at a gas station? They're not always empty, sometimes you stand in line and even though pumping petrol is way fast people still take their stupid long time.

Are you aware that things aren't great for a vast number of people on the planet?

But really can you blame them? These are just ordinary people. Stuff like this doesn't target the oligarchs who can be individually sanctioned anyway. This whole thing would be the last straw that would push someone over the edge to finally leaving that hellhole of a country, and now they can't. Plus they're quite possibly people facing persecution in Russia as well, don't forget that.

They can also build them in the middle of fuck nowhere. I mean where are the coal power plants? Are they on top of people's faces or are they also god knows where?

It's baffling to me how that can be. Like the government gives no shit at all about what you and I think about the wars and the defense budgets and the money they give out to their friends. But the same government is utterly bullied by people who don't want nuclear power plants? For decades? No it doesn't check out at all. There has to be some strong industry reasons.

Shut up or I'll tell your mom you're on the computer past bedtime.

I thought that for some time, until it became clear that the bad faith actors out there are taking us all for a ride. Don't believe these conservatives that go on about freedom of speech, or any freedom really. They have been the ones to curtail people's freedoms and steal their money from day one. It's always a smokescreen. Just how the civil war in the US (that they are still butthurt about) was about "states rights" ... to have slaves. Hmm. Similarly now, serial con artists and disinformation peddling freaks and abusers cry about freedom of speech. Do any of these people give one fuck about actual whistleblowers and journalists out there? Of course not. These are not the issues that are being raised.

I genuinely feel like the whole internet and now media is in some Eternal September mode now. And it's because the human brain only tolerates a certain amount of negativity (of certain types, within context) per day, and is overwhelmed when it keeps happening. Now most people, and I mean like on the order of 90% or more, are decent and innocuous. Some are edgy and some are real pathetic scum who seemingly only live to make others angry. Now with the internet though, especially with how engagement works, it's not that hard to find 1000 people in a population of hundreds of millions who are complete drop dead fucking assholes whose every expression is an insult to the human experience. But if you had to personally deal with 1000 complete cunts in one day, or every other day, you would feel completely overwhelmed right? That's what I find modern living is so full of. Just too many people, and too many negative experiences just based on the fact that a small percentage of a huge number is still a pretty big number for an individual.

Anyway that's why I can relate to why fighting this type of dirt on social media platforms is such an exhausting, losing battle. It's really hard to do properly, and it doesn't actually make money. Not directly anyway. The best way to fight it is with good education that doesn't produce this many shitheads. That or make the internet hard to use again so that idiots aren't on there anymore.

I tell you right now, in the real world there's lines that people cross and people fucking drop these people when that happens. Just like on social media. "Real world" my ass, just don't be a bigot.

No the 2016 election was the god send, news and social media companies absolutely love Trump for the 24/7 insane news and discussion that comes from every time the guy opens his bitch mouth. And people really think the media has a bias against him. You wish. If they were against him you wouldn't hear about him. Look at the coverage Bernie Sanders got in both 2016 and 2020. Very comparable to that of Ron Paul. When the media really doesn't want a candidate (or even movement) they will straight up black list them. At best there's the occasional pity article that goes like "he's got a movement with some support from (insert most unrelatable people to blue collar Americans) and his policies are nice but here's why it won't work etc".

Reddit is designed more around classic forum websites, to me it feels more like the next iteration of that as opposed to going from one person's profile to the next. It's also more about the content itself and not about the user.

Orban would just turn over his country to Russia, that's the plan all along.

The Brak!
