I did. That is the one thing the article said without citing a source. It is a common anti-EV talking point and like the person you responded to said, it has been debunked. On top of that, most of the time the environmental impact of transporting and refining oil are not taken into account.

It’s kind of a shame, because overall I agree with the point of the article. Increasing the ability to use bikes and improving public transit are way more efficient, but EVs are a good option in areas where those are not currently viable.
Are EVs perfect? Hell no. Should we throw the baby out with the bathwater, though? Battery technology is getting better. Batteries that don’t use high impact resources like cobalt are becoming viable.
Sorry for a bit of a rant, but sentiments like this are hampering progress

They tend to be concentrated in my experience. Big tech hubs have a higher concentration. I see a lot of them around Seattle for example.

Not much as far as I can tell. Seems to be sov-cit ideas but wrapped in leftist buzzwords

It’s no biggie, just wasn’t sure if it was on purpose. Easy to navigate to the main site from there

Looks super neat! Will definitely be checking it out. FYI, for some reason your link goes to a screenshot, not the main page for the game

AFAIK, it was not sent to people signed up for the German language newsletter. Filtered via language, not location.

No worries at all. To me it felt more like fetishization but that is a totally fair take.

How many layers of people did this go through? Between their history of transphobia and now this, they are painting a pretty bad picture of themselves

Oh for sure. I get the infrastructure down, then go back and beautify it after. Makes it feel like finishing a project

making pretty railway pillars
That’s what blueprints are for!
- Comment on The Fandom Strain: On the IP Illness That's Killing Magic: The Gathering 2 months ago:
An overall good article marred by the gate keeping bullshit. There are a ton of ways to play magic, and just because they are not part of the competitive scene does not make them “not real magic.”
I honestly don’t even think universes beyond is the problem in and of itself. The problem is the high number of sets released per year and the fact that too many of them are universes beyond and in standard. If they did 1 or 2 UB items and kept them to commander decks, secret lairs, or one UB set per year it would leave room for the universes within to shine. Hasbro would never though.
FWIW, the current set is universes within (Secrets of Strixhaven) and is really fun. Of course, the TMNT set before it was also really fun, but they were way too close together.

This becoming true again because of waves hand at everything going on but trend wise this has not been true for the last few years. It is also not true outside the US.

I had like 2 friends back in my CS 1.6 days that insisted on Xfire, but I paid for a Mumble server shortly after that. Might self host one again…

Shit, I forgot avout Xfire. Mumble and Teamspeak are still going too
- Comment on Donald Trump just shared an AI video to Truth Social depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys 5 months ago:
I’m so tired of this refrain. 49% of 64% of US voters voted for him, but even that is an oversimplification. The reality is that in some regions it is hard to vote. Waiting in line for hours. It is not a national holiday, so no pay for taking time off to wait in line. Polls often have limited times, and people in the US work too much just to stay alive. And that does not even take into account electoral college bullshit. The right has done so much to make voting hard or even impossible for some.
The US is vast and diverse, which makes hand waving dismissals like this even more frustrating.

Yeah, there is that. There is also the fact that even going to the source I cannot find the actual study/data. No idea the sample size, method, or even list if questions. Mostly this feels like clickbait from PC Gamer.

By the time the Cybertruck came out we knew what Elon was. This is not about all Teslas on the road. The article is, but the comment was specifically about Cybertrucks

Fair. Did not know about the nuance, but in this case it was mostly just pointing out the BBC was not being callous.
