the vast majority of the cost of an electric car is in the battery, every phone I’ve had really degrades in battery after a couple years, and my dad still drives an ICE car about the same age as me

Source?

I think most people should buy used cars, if only because new cars are almost always a bad financial decision

… Again, not everyone parks their car next to sn outlet. Actually, I feel like probably most people don’t

And even if you only have 1 plug in your garage, it’s not hard or expensive to add more.

Yeah this is losing the plot. I believe they’re talking about the tens of millions of Americans who don’t have private garages.

sounds like they have different priorities and values than you, is that intolerable?

They said they’re an Uber driver…

For various reasons a car is often better for that kinda trip

in the US you can get a decent ICE car for under $2000, you cannot get a Chinese EV for under $2000 that holds a charge

I’ve lived in a city with really good transit, and even then, I’d prefer a car if it were affordable here.

an actor is pointing a real gun at a cameraperson who is holding the camera, which is precisely what happened here.

which proves it I not safe? yes that’s the point, something dangerous was done, maybe normalized in the industry but still dangerous. a boom or tripod can always be used to not have someone behind the camera on the other end of a gun

It can, it also sometimes can’t unless you ask it “could it be x answer”

Yeah, no. When you go to the grocery store to pick out the lettuce for dinner, did you specifically ask for the single use plastic it’s wrapped in, or was that the only option presented to you?

I chose to go to the grocery store rather than a farmers market.

you are not as free to think as much as you think you are

All of those things are things that are very easy to say no to? I swapped the battery on my phone, I don’t have a car but “my” car at my parents house is from '99. I eat food that I like. I’m not saying I’m impervious to bad decisions, or even that these are always bad decisions, but the people who buy a new phone or car every few years its because they like to.

Depending where you are there are a lot of opportunities for kids. I’m curious if there are many free opportunities for adults and if anyone would do it.

the source is that some random person said it

Interesting, but I often see it used not for people who oppose any form of change, but for people who oppose a specific change. And it’s intended to be more slanderous than conservative.

I agree he’s not funny, but that’s not really how most people use reactionary

Ok, but it was understood what they meant
