10 year old is too young to walk alone to town but 16 year old can be trusted with a car.

It's not unique problem to Teslas. People burn to death in their cars every single day. Most of these cases simply aren't newsworthy enough to write articles about where as Tesla on the other hand is under constant scrutiny which skews the image of how safe or reliable they actually are.

Assuming we're talking about a car crash in which the vehicle doesn't catch on fire, Teslas are among the safest vehicles you can buy according to both IIHS and Euro NCAP

What does greed have to do with spreading misinformation? Even the term itself implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

We're talking about spreading misinformation, which by definition implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

I don't think tax cuts alone are going to make it possible to live off single person income.

Male genital mutilation isn't really a thing where I'm from so I'd say probably not.

Got too close for comfort nevertheless.

I'm no phycisist but I'd bet that the claim "it consumes no energy" is almost certainly false. I get what they mean but this isn't exactly a honest way to describe it.

 

There’s nothing wrong with criticism or calling out bad behavior. However, shouting "ACAB" in a thread about police violence, making jokes about beheading rich people, or throwing "muskrat" comments in discussions about Elon Musk, just to name a few examples, makes you an asshole and part of the reason why social media is so incredibly toxic.

If you're doing that while also explaining why you feel that way, then it’s still not the best approach, but at least you're contributing to the conversation instead of just making noise. Throwing out insults without adding substance doesn't challenge anyone or encourage meaningful discussion; it just perpetuates the toxic environment that so many of us complain about.

 

Do you have a criteria for what qualifies as block-worthy offence or are you just doing it when you feel like it?

Bonus question: how long is your block list?

 

Is it simply: involuntarily celibate, or does it come with a package?

To me, "incel" has always meant someone who’s simply just celibate against their will, but it feels like the term now also implies a specific worldview or even a subculture. Does identifying as an incel automatically come with those negative beliefs around gender and society, or should those two have separate terms? Has the definition changed?"

 

There's no freedom in having to do something but you're also not free to choose your wants.

Maybe it's better to just live and let life happen instead of thinking about what could've been. What ever happened is the only thing that could've happened.

 

I can only imagine the difference it would make if instead of telling about your idea you could show it
