That’s option 2 or 3, right?

It’s an interesting problem.

Does the EU let Chinese vehicles in, allow the reduction of EU manufacturing, reducing jobs available, possibly imposing further poverty on the poor, and possibly to the point where they can’t afford the Chinese vehicles anyway?

Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, making them less available to the poor, but possibly protecting jobs within the EU? Perhaps whilst trying to engage EU automakers to make more EVs?

Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, without pushing the change to EVs, and just not really manage this situation well?

My money is on aspirations for option 2, but in reality option 3.

Literally everyone acts like im some sort of evil disgusting monster and stays as far away from me as possible

The bit anon left out is that this is how everyone treats him everyday, sick or not.

I like it as a starting point to a subject I’m going to research. It seems to have mostly the right terminology and a rough idea of what those mean. This helps me to then make more accurate searches on the subject matter.

Jesus Christ to all the hypotheticals listed here.

Not a judgement on you, friend. You’ve put forward some really good scenarios here and if I’m reading you right you’re kinda getting at how crazy all of this sounds XD

Hasn’t musk been losing traction in this game for a while now anyway? My understanding is that Tesla’s whole initial selling point was that they disrupted the market and made electric vehicles something that people would want to buy, whilst the other automakers were ‘technically’ making EVs but making them look awful to keep the fuel industry alive.

Other automakers have woken up to the demand now and are making nice EVs. Unless Tesla can do something innovative that actually works consistently they’re probably going to phase out.

I’m not sure where my head was when I commented this.

Just getting at the idea that they’re basically worshipping the thing.

We as people just really like worshipping stuff.

Maybe worship is the wrong word due to its religious connotations, but it’s effectively the same thing to hold these kind of celebrations for items that we revere.

Anyway, I’m not sure why the above was relevant:)

It’s called worship.

Not a bad thing, just shit when it’s used to control people.

Good on them for expressing their appreciationane love (worship) for something that is expanding our knowledge.

If that belief held, based on Ukraine’s statistics, it would be permanent rain now and for the next century or so.

Meaning the last 6 years of his career there were on starfield, which he wasn’t a manager of, if he quit 3 years ago.

This feels like a standard toxic gaming community thread where dismissing someone’s achievements is for some reason fair game.

Dude held a job at a huge publisher for 14 years, then quit and developed his own thing.

Good on him!

Makes sense that there would be some nerves involved then. Even if you’re not feeling them consciously. I’m sure there’s a risk to dating someone you’ve built such a good friendship with.

Good on you for going for it!

Nice. I imagine you have been looking forward to dating a lot?

You’ve known each other for 3 years? Wow that’s cool! How long did you know you liked her?

It’s like the US and Russia’s new competition is who can be more authoritarian.

Does nobody have usb to usbc cables?

This is then hard on the hetero couples who want a child but can’t make one. But then again I suppose they have the adoption route open to them also.

Thank you for taking the time to write this out so eloquently.

Can you counter point it rather than just saying ‘not thinking’? From these comments you’re coming off as the not thinking one.

It makes sense that Ukraine would cosy up to USA if USA has something Ukraine needs, no?

It’s not like someone can just pop out 100 children to skew votes

On an individual basis sure, but this still poses two problems:

1. Is there a group of people that typically vote a certain who are prone to having more children than other groups. Due to different cultures, this is likely true.
2. Why should parents of children get an extra vote over those who can’t have children? Personally I feel that having had children should bear no influence on the power of your voice.

Hmm, I’d be wary to parents taking advantage of this.
