Yes I have an issue with that too.

Not entirely true. There is a "close in age" exemption for 14 and 15 year old to consent to sex with somebody less than 5 year older who isn't in a position of power or authority.

I think there is a giant overstatement of how many politicians are truly corrupt. But is is disconcerting when the US Supreme Court has made it pretty much impossible to convict a politician of taking a bribe. https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/04/26/u-s-supreme-court-justices-take-lavish-gifts-then-raise-the-bar-for-bribery-prosecutions/ When you can no longer prosecute the guilty, everyone gets painted by the same brush.

Because if we are deeming people not old enough to have a drink or old enough to buy a cigarette, or old enough to elect who represents them, we shouldn't deem them old enough to decide who they want to spend the rest of their life with.

Nope. Just read enough articles about build quality concerns. tesla has a long history of blaming them on the drivers. Turns out they knew all along their parts were defective. Where I live I can't throw a rock without hitting a tesla, they are absolutely everywhere. Lots of people are happy with them it seems. But whenever I take a close look at them, I am not impressed with the quality of the actual product. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/ Tesla is in second last place in the JD Edward's reported problems per 100 vehicle category. With only Polestar performing worse. (and that is without the data from states where approval is required to approach buyers with the questionnaire, since Tesla refuses to provide such approval).

I slotted it under the new principle. Nobody had used that technology to put a lunar lander together. And however hard we want to fanboy Tesla, they aren't quite on that level. They execute somethings pretty well, like the technology and software part. They do some other things very, very poorly, like building an actual car that doesn't fall apart.
-
Yup, great software/technology company. Vehicle quality has been a longstanding problem for Tesla.
-
Well, other then putting men on the moon, which was never done before.
-
Gee, wonder where I got it from...oh look at the next sentence.
-
Yes, the space program that put the first people on the moon is the same as Tesla, who I guess were the first to get nerds out of their mom's basement.....same accomplishment I guess.
-
It wasn't pioneered by Tesla, it was pioneered by an Italian company, who designs and manufactures the presses. Yes it was Tesla who saw the benefit and worked with that company to improve their MANUFACTURING process. Has it improved the car, or has it improved the manufacturing of the car?

mud huts maybe not, plywood and plastic sheets and no running water, absolutely:
-
Aluminum die casting wasn't new, nor hardly cutting edge. Putting a battery in a car or using an electric engine was hardly cutting edge Autonomous driving features are much more software related than car related "endless" torque is a wonderful byproduct of using the electric engine. Noting cutting edge there Highest computing platform...yes exactly what I am talking about. The cars themselves are shit, the technology is cool.
-
I don't think Tesla has ever really been a car company under Musk. I believe it is much more a software company. There is nothing "cutting edge" about Tesla's on the automotive side.
-
This....unreal level of professional incompetence.
-
Next time I will try and couch it in 1,000 words.

Considering your kneejerk reaction to questioning odd Jewish ideology......

Sometimes the voices need to be answered. -
You seem to imply the people of Palestine are different from the people of Israel in this situation, which I don't think is the case at all.
-
The Western World mostly doesn't recognize Palestine as a country. Don't think that is the case either. No party can claim the moral high ground here. I honestly don't think there will ever be a solution to this issue.

You can fit a few:

I love how in this thread conservatives unironically are complaining about the feelings conjured up by words.

Like quote the entire long post? Great read Bill! -
10 years between SARS and MERS 8 years between MERS and COVID 4 years between COVID and new respiratory virus would somewhat fit

I don't think Trump is a Nazi. I do think he is using fairly similar tactics in getting control over a large group of people and using that to try and put himself into a position of power. That is the comparison being made.
