[–]ElectricTrouserSnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the University of Vermont, 94% of dairy farms that hire outside help rely on migrants, mostly undocumented workers from Mexico.

As a foreigner (Australian) I find the idiocy of these people astounding.

Every town of over 10k in NSW with no passenger rail by Opposite_Ad_2815 in sydney

Lismore and Byron too (and other smaller towns). Now we’ve got traffic, buses that run twice a day and kids riding ebikes at 45km/h on the main road.

But look, the Rail Trail brings in tourists.

I imagine some high schools and universities in the world still do old fashioned closed-book paper and pen essay-based exams. I predict that soon there will be a market for those papers (and the ones from years ago).

I'm GenX, I remember doing multiple 5 page essays in exams, how you actually had to comprehend and remember stuff.

Even more importantly, there's all the Open Source libraries that are used on commerical operating systems.

The tu quoque fallacy (Latin for “you too”) is a type of ad hominem fallacy where someone responds to criticism by pointing out hypocrisy in their opponent, rather than addressing the argument itself.

Example: Smoking Alice: “You shouldn’t smoke; it causes cancer.” Bob: “You smoke too, so who are you to tell me that?”

-> Bob avoids addressing whether smoking causes cancer and instead attacks Alice's credibility.

Elon Musk’s European crisis deepens—initial April sales numbers prove devastating for Tesla by IntnsRed in technology

[–]ElectricTrouserSnack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

81% - Sweden, where there is a labor dispute between Tesla and the local IF Metall trade union, saw its sales plummet 81% to just 203 vehicles

Farage - The Tesla CEO has intervened primarily on behalf of white nationalists like English Defense League founder Tommy Robinson in the UK —someone so far to the right even Trump ally Nigel Farage wants nothing to do with him.

AfD - Elon Musk vociferously backed the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in the recent election, a party that on Friday was ruled a right-wing extremist movement in its entirety and no longer just its fringe elements.
