Not sure what heck that person's problem was over some comment I made, that seemed relevant to their topic. Anyhow, they let me know they "muted" me.
I did not even let them know and blocked them. I don't have time for people looking to get offended, less so when I am on their side.
Because #ThisIsAmerica where the priority is to indulge the uber macho fantasies of douchebags driving giant urban assault vehicles.

And if you are coming to defend how you need your urban assault vehicle, don't. I am not buying the b.s.

For new followers (and old ones). As I say in my bio, I am an avid reader. I read a lot, books, articles, so on, and I often share what I read for various reasons. Also snark and crack jokes
Not everything is for everyone, so if something I post is not for you, scroll on peacefully. Bothers you? Block me. We won't miss each other.
Feel free to comment politely. Explainers, pedants, trolls, fanatical partisans, etc. I just block. No response, no warning. #MyBlockIsQuick
This here.
(And if you are some apologist for the current two-party shit show owned by the #RealOwners coming to give me grief, eff right off.)
I should've known it would not be long before some #useless #RepublicanLite defender showed up to tell me how they are not so bad. You may not be "so bad," you just go along with it, maybe write a sternly worded letter.
I ain't got time for that. Cut the bs.
> Democrats Warned Not to Upset Multi-Million Dollar AI Lobbyists, Even Though It’d Be a Slam Dunk With Voters https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/democrats-ai-voters
For those Dems who wonder "gee, why did we lose last time and we can't get more votes."
(And if you're one of those hardcore D's who think the party can do no wrong and want to give me shit, reminder #MyBlockIsQuick )

May be a small thing here or there I may disagree, but worth a read as a whole, and number 13 for me reinforces why #MyBlockIsQuick.
Some smartass asked if I had citation for the seniors' remark. Dude, have you noticed who has voted and consistently votes for him? A lot of them ARE seniors. Yea, there are receipts.

But I am not about to get in a snit, so they found #MyBlockIsQuick
As much as I agree that yes, EVs are a good idea, the fucking infrastructure to support them is not there, ex. chargers. My town does not really have any, other than outside the one fancy hotel, or people have their own. So I loathe yet another privileged smug EV driver when they preen "I drive electric, haha (fuck you!)."
Until day chargers are as easy to find as a gas station, STFU.
(And if you are coming to defend your EV, am not begrudging you, be happy, but don't because #MyBlockIsQuick)
