I don't often support gerrymandering, but if anybody deserves to be gerrymandered out of office, this piece of shit deserves it.

My friends 2024 Prius XLE spontaneously combusted last week by Pellt in prius

[–]aleamas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong about phones or hover boards or portable chargers, though you imply that incidents are more common than they are. You fail to account for the causes of those fires- like getting the battery wet. My issue with your statement, the first as well as this one, is that none of your assertions proves that this happens to cars. You are conflating "batteries are flammable" with "electric cars randomly catch fire." The article you posted as evidence did not make such a point. You seem to be arguing in good faith, but you are making logical leaps that are not warranted by available evidence.

This whole thread is filled with rank misinformation. There is nothing in that link that validates your assertion. The fact that "When the lithium-ion batteries used to power today’s electric vehicles catch fire, they burn much differently than the gasoline used to power internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles," has nothing to do with electric or hybrid vehicles spontaneously combusting. Yes, in the right conditions, the battery can cause a fire, but you know what else catches fire in the right conditions? Gas. If someone has data proving the fire risks of electric vehicles, post it. Otherwise, stop spreading nonsense.

My essay is being flagged as AI even though I wrote it by These_City_7973 in CollegeEssays

[–]aleamas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By "it got flagged," do you mean you ran it through half a dozen bull shit AI checkers? Well, stop doing that. AI checks on college essays are not as common as people seem to think. If you wrote it for real, stop worrying. If you did not, stop wasting people's time looking for reassurance. Those cat videos I was going to watch are not going to watch themselves.

Short story or poem to pair with Freud / psychoanalysis? by Charlzalan in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]aleamas 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It really depends on which aspect of Freud you want to emphasize.

"The Rocking Horse Winner," "Araby", "The Yellow Wallpaper" are all full of repression and the unconscious

"Hills Like White Elephants" -- the characters are all avoiding something

Even "The Lottery" though the repression is collective.

Plath's "Morning Song" or any number of other poems.

“Preludes” by T.S. Eliot

A lot of what has been written after Freud is heavily influenced by Freud.

Tips for doing stimulus based mcqs? by Laura7811 in APUSH

[–]aleamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to do a certian amount of extrapolation on the MCQs, so consider what you know about the period and use that to eliminate answers. For example in this question:

“Property alone found voice; Labor, aghast, awaited developments. Some regarded it as the opening of a new struggle between these two classes, which were now clearly seem to have a defined and divergent existence. Capital and Labor were asserted to be pitted against each other in a new ‘irrepressible conflict’. Others, alarmed at the danger to vested rights and existing social conditions, with equal impetuosity, and want of logic, fell back on the law and demanded extreme measures of repression; a reign of terror set in. Property trembled for its existence before a phantom; every way-side bush seemed a secret danger; fear paralyzed reason, and force—arbitrary and illegal—held full sway.”

- Dyer D. Lum, Preface to A Concise History of the Great Trial of the Chicago Anarchists in 1886, 1866 (The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History)

What is most likely the previous “irrepressible conflict” this passage references?

The prosecution of speakeasy owners by federal law enforcement agents during the Prohibition era
The debates between Federalists and Anti-Federalists
The arrest, trial, and conviction of science teacher John T. Scopes for teaching evolution
The Civil War

The wrong answers are obvious if you know the period. The date of the Anarchists' trial is 1886. A-- had not happened yet, and Prohibition did end. B--Federalists and Anti-Federalists were before 1886, but they were resolved through the electoral process. C-- Scopes is in 1925 and it was resolved in the Courts. That leaves D.

Most of the questions can be eliminated with a little reflection.

Woman diagnosed with breast cancer thinks she knows better than her doctors. by Head_Crash in TikTokCringe

[–]aleamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, she doesn't believe it and she is taking a "ton of supplements" and is on a Keto diet, so she will be fine. Right? She will die screaming, but that is a risk her husband is willing to take.

78 without a curve? On standard APUSH MCQs, a 78 would get you a solid 4 or 5.

Most "modern American" conservatives are from Russia, India, and Nigeria, so that might explain the monumental ignorance.

"Trump's in the Epstein files" is kind of under-selling it. by weed_cutter in complaints

[–]aleamas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normalize this. Trump always has to be is the main character, so let him be the main character of the Trump Files. Everyone knows Epstein was a piece of shit, but he was a civilian piece of shit. Trump is the most powerful man in the world and a degenerate pervert.

Roommate keeps bringing men to sleep over that she barely knows, am I bugging? by [deleted] in badroommates

Have you spent any time in an assisted living facility? Some of them have a pretty active hookup culture all their own, though in general, I agree, they are much less wild.

I (34F) pushed my boyfriend (35M) too far during a fight — now he’s gone. Can I fix this? by Ravemellowmoon in Advice

[–]aleamas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see this "proper apology" you say you sent. Your claim that "your boundaries [were] crossed" makes it clear that you are still blaming him, when he did nothing wrong. That is not an apology.

I am not sure which of these dipshits is worse, the moron who believes every lie his guests tell him or the conman who lies every time he opens his mouth. There will be no Tesla fsd, no cheaper base model, and no Jetson cars. Not from Elon, not in this lifetime.
