Hate to shatter that ideal more, but the US has never been a bastion of democracy. The electoral college has existed since the founding, women have only been able to vote since 1920, and black folks have only fully been enfranchised since 1965. Even so, the right has been working to disenfranchise black and poor folks ever since.

I think that it is a complex situation that people are trying to distill down into internet takes. It is frustrating, but understandable.

That really isn’t the point. It could be 50/50 for this incident, but EVs (and as much as I hate saying something good about Tesla), even Teslas, don’t have a track record of blowing up. Plus the gas and fireworks in the back say intention. Maybe earlier than intended, but carrying that much flammable cargo is a fire waiting to happen

Sure, I get that, but it still plays into the EV hate. I know they aren’t the single solution, they are a part of a bigger strategy. Just hate to see bad information spread, even through jokes.

It was a bit of a rhetorical question. EV fires are way less common than gas car fires.

Also, CATL makes most of Tesla’s batteries, so they are subject to more QA than Tesla, though some are assembled in Nevada.

Bottom line, make fun of Tesla for the actual shitty things they do, don’t perpetuate unfounded rumors

Do they? Or is that just an extension of the right wing rumor that EVs explode more often than gas cars?

Cybertrucks are super fucking shitty, but for a lot of other reasons. Shitty to no QA, panels that are not properly attached, incredibly low visibility (even for a truck), undersized drive train components, and low actual utility to name a few. Oh, and everything that Elon is

I have not quite finished the game, but I did go through and do as many companion quests as possible, and they felt kinda drip fed. Probably just less developed than the main quest, which is a shame.

I hated the combat in Witcher 3. The combat in Veilguard does not feel the same to me, so if it is biting the Witcher, it also improved it. I get they were probably chasing trends, but Veilguard is a solid action game. The author clearly has a bias to CRPGs, and a soft spot for Origins (as do I), but that does not make Veilguard a bad game. Just different

The Witcher games have all had terrible combat, just getting slightly better each game. The folklore and universe are really what sells the Witcher games. Though the first one was still real bad.

I can’t say this for the author since they seemed to have finished the game, but Veilguard starts real rough, but got really fun to play. The story isn’t anything to write home about, but it suits the more action oriented combat well. I get it is not the DA CRPG everyone seemed to want, but it is a damn fun 3rd person action game. Besides, we still have Baldurs Gate 3.

I would say get trained first. Buying a gun is ridiculously easy, being safe and confident takes training

Do you expect a fridge to work in six years?

Yes, I expect household appliances to last at least a decade. My current fridge is from 2004, and whilst it will probably need replacing soon, 20 years is not an unreasonable run.

I was just curious why you think I don’t feel well

The weight limit is bad. I played recently and it seems like they did some adjustments, so not as bad as it used to be

They have a harder time with older games in general. DX11 (I think) is still new for Intel

Not much good could be said about him

Also, game is pretty good nowadays

What do you mean by that?

Not a dude.

I am trying to help you out here. One of Beehaw’s main rules is “be(e) nice”. If you want to not have comments constantly removed or be banned, just choose not to say something shitty.

Like I said before, I don’t think that is why they were pointing out that it was an affiliate. Fox is a notoriously bad news source. Besides, if you thought it silly to point out what you think is obvious, you could have asked for clarification instead of being a jerk about it
