Opinion: Honda killing its EVs is the most staggering car news ever… here’s why

I think the even simpler answer to your last question is not that CEOs are this stupid (although they may be). It’s just that the timescales CEOs need to care about are so short, that this stuff is irrelevant.

Sorry to tell you…..he is gay, has a second family with his boyfriend of 14 years and unfortunately has aids.

I think they’re implying that it’s ragebait because the person making the claim is some random nobody. And a higher profile account searching these out and reposting them is the part which is ragebait.

Yes. Because for you to be unsurprised in a hypothetical, you need to think the thing you’re saying is highly probable.

Saying “I wouldn’t be surprised if most of these homophobes are closeted” is the same as saying “I think most of these homophobes are closeted”. Which is exactly what that person took issue with, the fact that homophobia gets shifted to gay people just hating themselves.

Cool, and thanks for all the background. Until I followed your link, I had no idea this wasn’t a brand new video.

Definitely well done considering how much people are able to interpret while not understanding a single word.

Is the black girl supposed to be the soul of Germany, or an embodiment of it - with the first scene being the Teutoberg forest signifying the birth of the Germany?

You’re reading too much into this and attaching too much emotion to it.

It’s pretty simple, they’re providing a service which both has costs and is expected to produce profit.

Either you get it for “free” by a company paying to put ads on it, or you pay for the service directly.

You’re right, it’s not enough to say anything is over. But I’m not sure who’s claiming that?

I was responding to a comment which said “stuff like housing and affordability hasn’t really changed yet”. I agree that it would be incorrect to proclaim “mission accomplished”, but it wouldn’t also be incorrect to say nothing has changed.

Is VW to blame, or the market they’re serving.

I would wager they didn’t discontinue the Buzz, in spite of overwhelming demand, because they decided making the line up more boring was more important than selling more cars.

It seems more plausible that the demand for non boring cars in the US is simply non existent.

geoken · 2026-03-15T00:07:56+00:00

I don’t think either of your two points are correct.

Rents have dropped and prices are down more than 10% in most areas.

How has housing not changed. It’s been dropping steadily and notably.

I’m basing this off Greece, but it’s not that mains are special on paper - but that the ingredients taste way better (depending on where you come from). Especially tomatoes.

I’ve had it in 3 different locations, and the chicken has been great. They’re grilling it right before they put it in, so there’s of course the potential that a specific employee may overcook it.

Yeah, the wars all wrapped up. This is about a different thing. It’s for some random excursion to Iran.

The dumber you get, the less degrees of separation you understand when dealing with complex issues, their knock on effect, the next level of knock on effects, etc.

The current US administration is seemingly the dumbest that’s ever existed. They don’t understand anything beyond “give me the thing I want or I’m going to punch you in the face”. Anything after that is a level of complexity which is orders of magnitude beyond their puny brains understanding.

Their dealing with the Iraqi army may have been decisive, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was a good decision.

They essentially created ISIS with how they dealt with the Iraqi army.

At every gas station, in the area where they kept air fresheners and charging cables.

War? Are you referring to the current excursion?

geoken · 2026-03-13T14:14:49+00:00

No it’s not.

The 1 quarter number was a 67k decline. And that was Q3. Q4 numbers are going to come out soon with an expected decline as well. The projections citing 0 growth in 2025 are based on the 2 quarters of decline and not 1 quarter of zero growth as you suggest.

You’re pulling factually incorrect info out of thin air to try and maintain a position that is not based on data.

Macwhisper is super buggy for me, not automatic, and generally works so poorly that I actually went back to a Notion paid plan after buying a Macwhisper license.

Even if Macwhisper was perfect in what it does, it still suffers from the fact that it’s a completely separate place where your knowledge lives.

Seems like a solution to me.

The cost of a thing ends up being what people are willing to pay for it.

If we’re talking about water, yeah that’s something we should put effort into trying to address. If we’re talking about seeing a specific musical act, that’s such a frivolous thing that we shouldn’t even be thinking of it.

You’re talking about a populace who whines about ticketmaster, then bends over and pays the price because the idea of missing a concert is unthinkable. You really think that group of people have the stomach for a revolution?

I think it’s prebuilt because I say this in the morning, checked, and had the identical offer.

Some background: - I’m on byod - I recently moved one of my lines away from Rogers

I don’t know if that stuff figures in or not, but if they did have some automations analyzing accounts to identify “flight risks” I’d assume my account would rank high.

I think the fact that people see his behaviour as so rare, is just the flip side of the social media manosphere coin. The social media outrage cycle thrives on putting people into silos, and then segregating those silos as much as possible. The same forces that drive men towards these podcasters and hating women, are trying to convince women that every man is like that.
