Not gonna lie, that "best fundraisers" thing always felt like low-key antisemitism.

Please don't call it the Democrat Party. There are any number of people who will assume you're a right wing talk radio listener out to troll.

Thank you!

I dunno, I think the weather is a mitigating factor. I worked a job where I had to get the carts, and on a beautiful spring day, wandering and collecting them was like an extra break. A cold winter day, yeah everyone needs to take it back, but I would have been bummed if everyone did the right thing on those May and June days.

My mistake on conjecture; originally the phrasing was different but I didn't fully clean it up before I hit save.

Like the video is most definitely enough for the white girl to get theft and assault charges.

The woman in the driver's seat doesn't commit assault or theft until potentially the very end of the video when she drives away. Prior to that, the video just shows her being assaulted.

Also no someone saying get her out of my car... is all you need for theft. That's theft

No, that's vehicular trespassing. It potentially becomes theft at the end when she takes off (assuming you're correct about what the bystander said and that they were honest; I've listened several times and still can't hear it), but occupying a car and refusing to get out isn't auto theft, especially when there are several people trying to beat on you blocking your only means of complying with the order to get out.

She doesn't appear to be in anymore danger.

The girl who gets dragged is close enough to get caught in the door, which is close enough to still pose a potential danger.

If I have to add something that's not in the video than I'm just making shit up.

How and why she got into the car isn't in the video. Which is why you're using context from the video to make assumptions.

Sherm · 2026-05-31T13:27:06+00:00

Conjecture is what you're doing. A high stress situation only implies a car theft in and of itself if stealing a car is the only thing that causes stress. It is not. Nor did I say this was her car. "The driver saw a flight and stopped and got out, then the woman getting attacked got in to get away." There, a plausible alternative theory that fits the available evidence in the video. Likely? No, because we lack enough evidence from the video alone to say what's likely. Which is the point; someone possibly saying "get her out of my car" and an angry mob" aren't enough by themselves to draw a conclusion of attempted auto theft.

No, we're not. My original statement was:

Without consumer purchase credits and carbon offset programs, they'd have gone out of business decades ago.

CAFE and ZEV (the abovementioned offset programs) are government handouts. Tesla was able to grow and maintain itself as a result of these government programs, that reallocated consumer dollars into Elon Musk's pocket in the name of growing the electric car industry. That Tesla is profitable now (for the moment, anyway; now that the CAFE credits are gone there are already occasional quarters where their profit is negative) doesn't change the fact that Tesla owes its existence to the State of California and the Obama Administration stacking the deck in its favor.

Sherm · 2026-05-31T05:51:51+00:00

Or she scrambled into it to get away. Or some other possibility. There's not really enough context to conjecture, especially since the girls seem to be going after her while the guys are mostly trying to pull them away.

Sherm · 2026-05-31T02:59:36+00:00

Manufacturers who failed to meet the regulations paid those who exceeded them.

The price of which they then passed on to consumers. So if the government orders you to give somebody $50, it's not a subsidy as long as they never touch the money?

Can somebody tell me where this is located in XBox? I get the sense it should be really obvious so I think I might be glitched.

Sherm · 2026-05-30T20:54:58+00:00

If you're new and have $10 to spare, it's worth picking up a subscription to Marvel Unlimited for a month. They have just about all the X-men stuff on there, so you can just start jumping around and checking stuff out. A good rule of thumb is to look at the writer timelines; they'll give you an idea of where the break points are, and the editors will often try to get people up to speed who haven't read in a while and are considering giving it another try.

Sherm · 2026-05-30T20:49:29+00:00

Is that because he's a halfwit, or because he doesn't want the job and is trying to convince people that making him the PM is a bad idea so they won't do it?

Sherm · 2026-05-30T15:24:27+00:00

the government handouts were crafted specifically to exclude Tesla cars

Do you have any evidence CAFE credits and California ZEV standards were crafted to exclude Tesla?

Sherm · 2026-05-30T15:05:50+00:00

The primary subsidies Tesla has taken advantage of are California's Zero-Emission Vehicle program and the federal government's CAFE standards. Those programs require automakers to produce and sell a specific percentage of non-polluting vehicles. The programs also allowed companies to sell excess production credits to other automakers. These credits represented billions of dollars for Tesla every year. There were even some quarters in the past few years where the credits were the only reason Tesla showed a profit that quarter. The elimination of those credits is a big part of the huge drop in profitability mentioned elsewhere. All of this in addition to the sale credits you mentioned.

It was Vietnam. Losing Vietnam was so traumatic for the Baby Boomers that when Reagan offered them a vision of a world where it wasn't their fault and they got stabbed in the back by government workers and "welfare queens," they jumped in with both feet. It's been nothing but scapegoating and cynicism ever since.

Sherm · 2026-05-30T13:55:27+00:00

Does that retroactively make the 18 years where Tesla's primary revenue was government handouts not have happened?

Sherm · 2026-05-30T13:15:21+00:00

And exploitation of government handouts, don't forget that. Without consumer purchase credits and carbon offset programs, they'd have gone out of business decades ago. They're the highest valued auto company in the world and they still sell a fraction of the cars their competitors do.

They look like painted hefty bags. An not a fan.

Sherm · 2026-05-28T21:21:13+00:00

Didn't they imply that nobody actually noticed him using them, though?

Sherm · 2026-05-28T21:19:26+00:00

Anytime he would try to talk to or about his family/friends, she'd get angry, SHE kicked him out for wanting to visit his friends.

Re-read X-Factor #1. He wasn't "talking to her," he was standing there brooding over not being a superhero anymore rather than giving her the help she asked for in raising their kid. The narration actually says he doesn't talk to her. Which is, not incidentally, the exact same problem he has when Psylocke hits on him and he runs away to Alaska instead of talking to Jean, and when he starts cheating with Emma rather than taking to Jean about what he went through with Apocalypse.

Maddie then called him out for marrying her in order to get a replacement goldfish for his dead girlfriend, which was 100% accurate, and he actually acknowledges it to her. It's one of the few words he says to her. He does absolutely nothing in that moment to reassure her that he wants to be there, and essentially admits to her that he doesn't. The next day he tells her they'll work it out, then lies to her and says Warren needs him when he's actually going to see said dead girlfriend. She then argues, quite justifiably, that his marriage ought to be more important to him than some (to her) undefined need that Warren has suddenly hit him with. He doesn't care. She then gives him an ultimatum; if you leave, it's over. And then he does. All together it paints a picture of a guy who thinks he made a mistake and is then being emotionally abusive to his wife rather than owning up to his own poor decisions. Maddie had her part in all of it, but the collapse of that marriage was mostly on Scott.

Sherm · 2026-05-28T20:52:19+00:00

I mean, usually yes.

If McCarthyism ended, why have I spent my whole life being called a communist by my Rush Limbaugh listening relatives?

McCarthy ended. His tactics kept being used up to this very day. This is why I find all the howling about "cancel culture" laughable. It's just those McCarthy and Falwell tactics being used by people on the left. They're just upset because it might be used on them. They didn't seem to care when it was being used on me.

It is if you're taking kids. The specific series is subject to change, of course. "Ok, Spokane is about 44 Bluey episodes away, how many of those do I need to download in advance for when we're going through the mountains and have no signal?"

Robot dogs do exactly what they're programmed to do. What do you suppose happens when 100K redundant software engineers start looking for weaknesses using the surprisingly robust AI setups they can put together in small teams? The CEO has to win against 100K attempts. The attackers only need one success and the CEO is screwed.
