There is an entire trans community Lemmy instance in case you were unaware. Not saying it makes transphobia here okay or anything, just might be helpful to know.

Cancer is by definition not stable, if it’s stable it’s just tissue.

I don’t love the difficulty of extremely fast individual identification but there is something to be said for the ease of extremely fast collective identification, it makes it very easy to see which group of apps each app belongs to, which is also valuable.

This is pretty fundamental trolley problem stuff. If one choice kills 10 million and the other choice kills 5 million but protects the other 5 million, you refusing to participate entirely isn’t a noble stand, it’s saying you don’t give a shit about the other 5 million.

I care too much about these vulnerable people to help these other vulnerable people while not actually helping the other vulnerable people is just being an idiot.

It must be so freeing to live a life so simple and ignorant that you think your little world can be zero harm and morally perfect while living a lifestyle that would be remotely sustainable for the world. The world is a big and scary place and a democracy is made up of a myriad of perspectives on the world. We all do the best we can with the choices we have. To pretend that we can accomplish anything by refusing to participate in an imperfect system is absurd fantasy.

By all means protest, organize etc toward noble goals. But don’t act like “both candidates bad, myeh” is a real stance.

Dude fuck off, I’m sorry but there is no viable “tell Israel to get fucked” candidate. Biden isn’t bombing Gaza personally, the US military isn’t bombing Gaza. The GOP has showed they staunchly want to see it escalate and wipe Gaza off the map completely, this is a holy proxy war for them. Israel and its genocide has overwhelming support in US politics. None of this makes it right, but it does make it not a relevant issue in this presidential race.

You don’t pick a candidate that shares every belief and opinion as you. You vote for the candidate which will do the least harm and the most good and only the frontrunners count as candidates and you know it.

That’s where you’re wrong though, it’s a statement a lot of really weird people give a massive shit about.

I mean, a few of them are probably fine if you’re into hookup culture, but the people who are tend to ruin it for the people who aren’t

Mildred is iffy but Millie is an adorable name.

There’s a bit of me that I can put in certain other people, and it will cause a smaller version of us to form.

The business strategy wasn’t remotely proven though, it was still just an idea, no part of the car was designed yet. It was two people who had no idea how to design a car doing the groundwork to start a company working with Lotus and AC Propulsion and then a few months later it was three with Ian Wright lending some business work with the relationship between Lotus and AC Propulsion, then a few months later it was four with Elon who lent money and knew about as much about designing a car as the previous three, then a few months later it was five and they finally had a CTO at least.

This meme hurts me physically every time it gets reposted. It is not a complete picture of anything, it’s just easy to make people thoughtlessly accept stories if they shit on Elon, who to be clear deserves it. Those two guys were the main guys who made Tesla and decided to bring the work of AC Propulsions to market. They are first and foremost tech millionaires (now quite likely billionaires) and do not deserve idolization either. The engineers of AC Propulsion ie Wally Rippel who also helped design the EV1 are the ones who actually made the technology happen.

The Tesla guys had the idea to put the tzero concept and tech into production shoved into a Lotus Elise and to market it to silicon valley investors as essentially a tech company. Elon was the main investor who went for it, also after speaking to AC Propulsion about putting the tzero into production, the rest is pretty well documented history of Elon being a huge asshole who accomplished very little if anything off his own merit while pushing out everyone around him.

Engineering a practical prototype for an electric sports car in the year 2003 makes you pretty cool, if nothing else.

Yeah that was AC Propulsion though, and in 1996, and a completely different group of people.

The Tesla guys had the idea of shoving it into a Lotus Elise and marketing it as a tech company.

He’s Jewish I’m pretty sure, a lot of ours hair just does that when it gets a little longer and the conditions are right.
