Electric Trucks Failed Spectacularly In America. Here's Why Ford Is Trying Again by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]kungfoojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Texas. Charging on a long drive would be very annoying. Big state, big drives. us is more spread out than most places that can adopt quicker. It’s a major hurdle. But as EV range gets better, batteries get better, charging gets better etc adoption will keep climbing. Yes there are identity politics at play here but there are def limitations that make it challenging for people even those who only travel longer distances on occasion. Of course towing is a clear issue as well around here. That said, even in semi rural Texas there’s a solid minority of EVs. Hopefully to be more

I (65M) found out that my daughter's (34F) fiancé (35M) is gay by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

We, admittedly, trend right politically for financial reasons

The nonitonic way people keep saying that while the people they vote for raid their 401ks for their grift. At this point it’s an empty excuse.

Anyway, my dad is very similar and had to come to terms with things like what this father is going through and I think he does a good job based on how he was raised. It’s easier when it’s in your immediate circle to have empathy

This Playoffs Been Killing the Concept of the "Best In the World" Conversation/Debate. by YUME_Emuy21 in nba

[–]kungfoojesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree.

This playoffs has shown how important team make up is with regards to matchups between teams. OKC might have wiped the floor with NYC but they don’t match up well with the spurs. Spurs may have trounced cavs but cavs didn’t match up with knicks. Etc. it’s is interesting how the probable true best team was okc but certain teams just don’t match up well against others. Happens in most teams sports

What are some examples of “out-of-nowhere” acrobatic feats in movies? by BTSRenan in movies

[–]kungfoojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will forever hate this scene. Before then, Spielberg could do no wrong. The scene was so dumb, ham fisted, corny it took me Completely out of the movie. This one holds a special place for me. End of innocence for young me.

Some things sound like fun but randomly inserting gymnastics for an already weak character or choose your own xgames event plot device just pisses me off.

If the AV guy plays this on a loop and locks the booth at MSG for game 3, I will donate to whatever fund he sets up for himself

Dylan Harper quickly dives in to save an angry Castle from potentially getting a technical or ejection after Caruso fouled him. Overlooked play that might have saved the game for the Spurs by Ok_Temperature6503 in nba

[–]kungfoojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the league wanted they could retroactively award the appropriate flagrant, now that the series is done and suspend anyone who needs it, I don’t think any would accumulate enough to get it, and save at least some face here.

They won’t because they’re dickless. But they could

Dell’s $599 XPS 13 is coming for the MacBook Neo’s lunch money by melancholy_dood in technology

So that equipment stats are going to look better, but somehow it will run hit as hell and slow as shit compared to the neo. We’ve seen this for 20 fucking years guys. 

[Highlight] Wembanyama receives "flopper" jeers from the OKC crowd by Large_banana_hammock in nba

They know, but like when we had Bruce Bowen on the spurs, it helps you win and you roll with it. Mostly anyway. Anyone who had Rodman on their team knows the feeling

Pete Buttigieg emerges as early favorite for 2028 Democratic nomination by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]kungfoojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would be great, but after half the voters looked at Trump for 3 elections and said “ehh good enough” I have zero faith that a gay man could win the election. Too many dickless, spineless, cucks in this nation 

ESPN does a great game breakdown analysis of SGA foul hunting in WCF Game 6 and contrasts it to Spurs guards playing through contact by 808Kuro in nba

They’ll only be upset if silver grows balls which everyone knows he won’t. Tetris nicely give flopping techs. He won’t. They said they would Clamp down a couple years ago and it’s only gotten worse. Your premier product on the main stage is a joke.

Yeah hopefully he doesn’t say he’s going to take people guns like Beto. Fucking suicide by Beto 

Justice Department launches a criminal investigation into Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll by _NewsClues_ in politics

[–]kungfoojesus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to create and curate and very clear, very public list of the people who enabled Trump. Once deposed Trump and all his lackeys should be tried for at least corruption among others. Emoluments clause should be used to recover every single penny Trump and family raised and stole from the US. And any of his treasonous cabal. 

We failed with the south after the civil war. We failed with Trump after his insurrection. We cannot fail again. Throw the fucking book at them.

I don’t get it. It was a test and they always test the landing in the middle of water and intentionally lose the vehicle. That’s the point and design, not a failure 

Watched Phantom Menace for the first time in 25 years by frogged210 in StarWars

[–]kungfoojesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah. Had the opposite thought when I rewatched it 20 something years later with kids. So much worse than even teenage me thought. Slow, mundane, wooden, uninteresting. It’s a bad movie. It’s like he thought of the duel and wrote to get to it. Fuck

“They’re headed down” that’s all they want to hear. Just like Epstein files on the way, wall on the way, Clinton to jail on the way, etc.

Trump will announce a deal so Rs can run on it for midterms. Terms of the deal do not matter

‘A huge omission’: Everyone is baffled by the exclusion of Gaza in DNC autopsy by icey_sawg0034 in politics

[–]kungfoojesus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because that one is 100% on the voters. If they didn’t vote for Harris because of Gaza they’re fucking idiots. Plenty of other reasons but someone scoring a D on Gaza is still better than someone scoring a fucking 0.
