Damn, you sure showed them! Got any other galaxy brain zingers in there, Megamind?

I feel like even Grok would have made better decisions than these morons.

It’s just the semi-regular Lemmy drama - people get their knickers in a twist and echo chamber themselves into a frenzy over the most absolutely inconsequential shite. Oh no, someone uses a character not everyone understands! If we allow this, men will dress as women and marry their dogs! Won’t someone think of the children?!

I could not care less what they do. Their thorn use is benign and they will explain exactly what the character means if asked. Everything I’ve seen stated about the “real reason” they’re using it and their implications seem to be little more than assumptions and fabrications made to pretend putting them down is somehow justified.

The only thing that surprises me is that no one has called to defederate from their instance.

Some people put others down because it makes them feel superior. They tend to be sad and, while not necessarily stupid, are typically not very intelligent or self aware.

While I agree with your sentiment, the glaring difference is none of the items you listed are used in situations which result in high speed, high mass, and resultantly high energy collisions.

EV fires wouldn’t be as newsworthy if Tesla didn’t have idiotic door latch mechanisms that trap occupants in their cars. EV fires would be less impactful if they didn’t use lithium batteries and if those batteries didn’t typically span the bottom of the passenger compartment.

Make it impossible how? I’ve been hearing similar claims for about three decades but have yet to see anything definitive happen.

As a non-American, it’s simple to see how the Democratic party at the national level puts on a show of resistance against the Republicans but is largely and intentionally ineffective against any legislation that benefits their shared corporate masters. Of course, people will point out individual politicians who actually do their jobs, but that’s the entire point: to do enough to look like they’re trying without doing enough to actually make a difference.

Controlled opposition. The US political system is a farce.

Absolutely. I prefer the German customer service I’ve experienced whilst riding the DB - take your bretzel and fuck off.

That’s actually the ideal scenario because the alternative is they’re just that bad.
