  • Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market

  • I guess I see what you’re saying about not trusting Elon Musk because he had promised something that thus far had not been delivered. And you’re right, we didn’t trust him and didn’t purchase the option. But we thought the car was still okay. I still like the car, for the most part. Does that make sense? The car and the full self driving option were two separate purchases, one of which we did not make.

  • We did not purchase full self driving. My husband rightfully thought that it was a bit of a pipe dream. I’m too much of a control freak to allow a car to drive for me. Also six years ago was 2019 so if you think I fell for “full self driving by 2016” then I think you can’t do math.

  • Any car is sold at a loss. As someone who recently paid one of these off, I can’t stomach a new car payment in the face of our melting economy because six years ago I didn’t foresee the head of a car company turning out to be a freaking nazi.

    Considering my Tesla replaced a VW TDI, I’m feeling particularly salty and completely disillusioned about ethical consumption under capitalism, etc. etc. I wish people on Lemmy could have some empathy and not just assume that everyone driving a Tesla is sanctioning anything that Elon Musk does.

  • I’m jealous of your seal points. Always wanted one, but I exclusively adopt so I take what I can get. I do try and get floofs though. Here’s Sansa’s dating profile pic:

  • The IT Crowd creator has stated he does not believe trans women are women and that transgender rights oppress women.

    I wanted to make some quip about it being typical but actually not all men think this way or assume they know what women think. And I’m sure some women think this way. But it also tells me all I need to know about this tool. Good riddance.

  • What old movie ending made you cry?

    Jump

  • An Affair to Remember (1957) Yes I did watch it because it is referenced in Sleepless in Seattle and yes I did blubber cry just like the SiS characters suggested.

  • 2003, I think; at least it’s the first I remember. I was 20 and in college. I had just missed out on voting in the Bush/Gore election and was a bit salty about it. Anyway I got to vote in the Gray Davis recall election in California and yes I voted for Schwarzenegger if I remember correctly, but you gotta understand how completely crazy the choices were. Also I was 20 and dumb, or at least I was still one of those people who “hated politics” and didn’t pay much attention.

  • Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?

    Jump

  • I am a lurker, mostly. I have never tried to change anyone’s opinion online that I can think of. But as a lurker, you can bet that my viewpoint might be changed by a good argument, even if it’s not directed at me. Just as it happens with religion, I’m sure there are conservatives (or leftists for that matter) on the internet that may have cracks beginning to form in their worldviews, and the right exposure on the internet can send them down a rabbit hole of questioning and considering alternatives. I suspect a major part of the reason I have gotten more and more leftist myself over time is because of exposure to good arguments on the left and much fewer on the right, plus the lack of desire from the right to partake in good faith arguments.

    So what I’m saying is, your argument may not get through to the target, but there is collateral … well, not damage, but you get what I mean.

  • Out of curiosity, why are you intent on a longer stitch? It will be quite a weak seam if the stitch length is much more than 3mm, depending on the fabric you are sewing.

  • What do your kids think about elon musk?

  • lol I don’t think I could make up what the 10 year old said. Their minds work differently than my millennial brain. But we have been talking about the Nazi stuff a bit which is a little tricky because they haven’t studied it in school yet.
