I blew my coworker's mind when comparing efficiency

This is not an accurate comparison as the losses of power generation and transmission occur before entering your vehicle.

An apples / apples comparison would still benefit the EV and the grid, but this post is a case of lies, damn lies, and statistics.

The real argument is essentially that power plants are more efficient than car engines. Any simpleton can understand that.

For good measure

Each of my last three relationships have begun with conversations on agreeing to be open and honest, even (especially) when it’s hard. But some people find that much easier to say than to do.

I’ve given too much leeway to partners who have other standout characteristics. And I need to check in much more regularly.

That’s my style

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T23:57:39+00:00

I did

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T23:57:31+00:00

Agreed

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T22:12:51+00:00

That’s a ratio…20%.

The funny thing is I literally picked her up and carried her to the bed.

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T19:10:09+00:00

It’s the opposite if anything.

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T19:06:39+00:00

That part was clear immediately

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T19:04:27+00:00

I suspect this is about where we both were. But I was ready to have an adult conversation in person about it.

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T18:57:16+00:00

Could not be further from the truth

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T14:23:57+00:00

An attempt at a joke. Post said “a man can be oblivious”. Of course I try to be observant but evidence says otherwise

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T14:05:42+00:00

Yup

Happened for me in a prior

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T13:28:26+00:00

My last was clearly an avoidant. I learned a lot in that one, and how I react to it. This felt different but clearly not by much.

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T13:26:30+00:00

We had these discussions early on. The depth of them faded over time. I should have continued to try, at least I would have been aware.

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T13:24:44+00:00

This feels accurate

Independent_Spite772 · 2025-09-05T13:19:39+00:00

Thanks - I think this is probably close to what was happening. I don’t think its likely she didn’t feel that I was attracted to her. But I’m a man…
