And I say fuck that way of thinking.
It was largely the democratic side of people that pushed for green energy and to stop polluting with gas cars. People listened, found Teslas were a great EV option and now the same people are telling Tesla owners they are Nazis for owning one.
It’s getting stabbed in the back by the people you supported because some rich guy is a piece of shit.
And truthfully I don’t own a Tesla, its my trans sister that has to deal with harassment and people telling her “they can’t accept her as trans woman because she’s own a Tesla”. Fuck them and their exclusive “inclusivity” club.

People bought into the marketing hype pre-2020, and it was pretty much the only viable full EV in North America due to the charge network. A lot of people got them with good intentions for the environment.
Most people take out loans to buy new cars. When you sell or scrap a car the loan doesn’t go away. If you have 30k left on a loan, scrap the car for 10k - you’ll be left with a 20k loan and no car.
Regardless of a car’s financial worth, having a functional car is worth a lot more.
What your asking people to do is about as financially crazy as if someone told you to sell your car for $500, spend a thousand into maintance, and then go to buy a new one the leftover cash. In other words - blow your a sizable chunk of your own money because the owner of the car is a shit person. Who does that help? Musk already got his money, reselling the car does jack shit to him and completely fucks over the seller.

No excuses now, and no bumper stickers will dissuade me. It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.
Hard to sell them when the only potential buyer market is people you want to avoid at all cost or a used car place that will buy it for an insulting fraction of it’s value.
And buying a replacement in this economy? We can judge new buyers all day long, we can judge people with 200k salaries that keep them, but the folks that can’t sell it are stuck with a car that no one will buy; maybe they got laid off, had to take a big salary cut to keep living, can’t afford a new car, and because they can charge the car for free at work they have extra moey for food.

The contributes on this site do an excellent job explaining the comics. Not really ELI5, but more ELI15.
It’s okay to not understand every comic, someone else out there figured it and explained it to us.

What version of lawnchair are you using? I have app folders (although its a bit clunky to manage in the UI, they do exist)
- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 4 weeks ago:
The main thing for me, it gets google out of the picture. No AI, no google search bar, etc.
It also allows me to manage apps in the app drawer. I can hide any stock apps, and put less commonly uses apps in to folders (I miss tabs on Nova). Instead of scrolling through pages of home screen, I swipe up and can see all my common apps at once, no scrolling. The home screen now has free space for widgets.

“Let’s take this very successful character/IP, strip away everything people liked, insert depth less, one sided, middle school chatgpt quality characters and plot and then blame the viewers when if flops” seems to be the current procedure.
- Comment on He was the best 4 weeks ago:
some of the writers were not or actively disliked the books and games (even actively mocking the source material.)
Imagine loving a series, getting the chance to do a high-budget TV show, and these are the people behind the script. I’d leave too.

The kid on the right looks fine. The one in the middle just needs to do something with the hair. The left one went a bit far with the long pants, and again hair. I’m not saying its got to be neatly flat or something, but but some effort into it, throw in some actually spikes, or a mowhak or anything really. Bed head ain’t it. The kid on the right, he takes care of his hair.

Huh, thinking about it, I’ve never seen a computer in the 2009 icon form factor. Sure there’s the simple rectangle case, but that skinny silver curved case?
Also, its kind of funny the 2026 version is an all-in-one-computer, which is more of Apple’s thing. Sure there’s probably a dozen options for a Windows all in one, but when I see that icon I think of an iMac.
