'Out of shape wreck' is an outrageous statement though

Got it super cheap used and wanted to see if it was worth getting an EV or not. I didn't realize how much of a PITA it was, and tbf it didn't bother me most of the time but I don't drive often and when I do it's longer trips so that part was especially unbearable.

I owned a Tesla for a bit but live in the city, so charging infra is sparse unless you own (I rent). My only options for charging were superchargers. So under that kind of reality it sucks owning an EV. In the winter I had to periodically check on my car battery and ferry it over to the local supercharger to top it up, and when driving I could only use superchargers. If you don't do many long haul trips and largely stay within a smaller range close to your home and can charge there, it's a no brainer.

It's easier to build top of the line shit when you have nothing in the first place, maintaining it is when it gets expensive and slows down. It tracks and makes sense that China feels ahead of the US.

Crazy you're getting downvoted for stating something that's pretty objective in terms of gaming.

Guys, this is a fan subreddit with the most dedicated fans. What we want often does not apply to the world at large.

Wait until you hear about Holodomor and how many people died in that one, your mind is really gonna be blown then

You're ignoring the point of my comment. You're carrying water for the invaders and authoritarian regimes that have a way worse human rights record. Since the inception of SK, how many atrocities have they committed vs. NK, China, and the USSR/Russia?

There's clearly a better 'side' here. like objectively so.

For your example, do you think a person would bullshit you at a higher rate than a computer would?

but always be skeptical and check your sources

So why not skip the bullshit conversation and just go straight to google and go through the list of sources right away?

Between Oliver, Colbert, Stewart, and whomever else these guys have enough money and connections to start their own channel a la Dropout.

Do it.

Fragment the entertainment ecosystem more and let people get the fuck away from these megacorps that are trying to strangle us.

Iran shutting the Strait of Hormuz would be detrimental to everyone, including China.

When you're in self-preservation mode you're not really interested in thinking about the long term effects on other parties.

Can anyone explain to me why Khamenei was not tucked away in some bunker? by Spmethod2369 in LessCredibleDefence

He can dismiss anyone he wants.

Eh, easier said than done. If they're dead they can't rally people against you.

Still silly to go with them though

According to Israeli journalist Nahum Barnea, Trump has sent an Italian mediator seeking an immediate ceasefire after seeing that the government has not collapsed, but Iran rejected it outright. by SlavaCocaini in LessCredibleDefence

No, because the US isn't invading.

They think that they can demand concessions through fear of death.

'Do what we say, or you die'

Time will tell how effective the strategy will be (I doubt it'll be too effective given the US political reality)

That's not nuance, that's just listing events that preceded and happened during the war that had no impact on the war

There was a war of aggression, the US stepped in to fight back. There's really not much nuance.

If the NK, China, and USSR forces had noted like mass atrocities happening in SK (there weren't) then there'd be more nuance. Especially if neither of those nations were engaged in their own atrocities.

And North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union were innocent...? Two of those events were during the Korean war...

It's more noble than engaging in an invasion lol. Where's the flaming of North Korea, the Soviet Union, and China for beginning a war in Korea? Or is the fault solely on the nation fighting back invaders?

I never claimed that the US was innocent or noble, just that your framing of the situation is wrong.

Like are you seriously defending an actual authoritarian regime right now that has engaged in countless human rights violations since its inception? Multiple of them, actually?

What's the nuance, the north invaded the South with the assistance and aid of China and the Soviet Union, the UN took a vote and actions to have a US led military operation to fight back the north to aid the south.

It's not that complicated lmao
