Well. I bought mine 2 years ago, and am currently trying to get something else in its place. But I need to take my kids to daycare and myself to work every day so I cannot just like dump it. So you might be vandalizing somebody who thought it was a good idea to replace a petrol car with an EV and Tesla was simply the best quality/cost solution at the time and the amount of politics involved were pretty minimal.

You might turn somebody who was mildly sympathetic to your ideas farther away from you. Definitely not going to make new allies in that way.

Cybertrucks however, fuck those things and everybody who bought them. Molotov cocktail them for all I care.

Bad title, because

The research draws on every tweet posted between 2017 and 2022 by every member of parliament with a Twitter (now X) account in 26 countries: 17 EU members including Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, but also the UK, US and Australia.

Their dataset is 100% from Twitter.

So the actual result of this study could be that there are more far-right populists in Twitter. A highly improbable conclusion, I know.

Personally I’m hoping it misses

In midst of all this funnymaking, I'd like to point out for the record that anybody who genuinely wants it to hit Earth is fucking insane. Some combination of sociopath and psychopath.

I think this is something else -- I mean, he's gonna need slaves to implement all this.

My Lenovo Thinkpad just broke… again.

Daym, I though those things are tanks. Which model?

I used it for a while with an m2 macbook perhaps half a year ago, but ended up getting a PC so I wouldn't have to deal with so much jank.
