Winning in Texas is a long shot with anyone. A white Christian man is exactly the kind of person you need to run there, especially one attempting to push back against MAGAs hold on Christian voters using socialist language from the Bible and calling out Republican hypocrisy. If you want to play identity politics games just so you can end up with another Hakeem Jefferies you’re only going to lose by a wider margin. That’s the kind of shit that got us here in the first place.
If you want others to fall in line then maybe that’s what you should do instead of complaining about the candidate that won the primary. Say something positive about the only dude with a shot at winning a Senate seat in Texas
I don’t work in car sales but I’m not sure how that’s relevant. What conclusion are you trying to reach here? This conversation is about EVs being better than ICE vehicles. Those big ICE vehicles not fitting in a standard garage sounds like another point for the EVs to me. Especially since there’s very little, if any, practical benefits to that additional space.
They are all SUVs with 3 rows of seats and a good sized trunk. If you want to be pedantic of course you can find differences. They aren’t literally the exact same vehicle. The things you noted are not good reasons to choose an ICE vehicle over an EV though. Saying they aren’t similar sizes at all is straight up ridiculous.
The same people who buy Suburbans and Escalades could buy Rivians or a Kia EV9 instead. They’re similar sizes and price ranges. People are just dumb

I don’t know much about the company. I just know they’re working on releasing an electric SUV/truck (it could be either depending on what you want) and it’s supposedly going to be priced around $25k. They might be full of shit for all I know but that’s the marketing buzz at least.
We really do need some kind of government administered digital ID for certain functions in the modern age. In the US we have tried to use social security numbers in various applications but that is not what they were intended for and it causes all sorts of problems. That ID could be used for official government functions like providing public feedback on legislation (currently overrun by industry bot accounts), voting online (currently not possible), and accessing or submitting personal information (tax forms, various licensing processes, court proceedings, etc).
The biggest problem is that I don’t trust our current government to implement a system like this in an effective or transparent manner. The second biggest problem is that I don’t trust them to limit it’s use to strictly necessary functions. This should not be required for anything outside of government administered processes. Meta and Discord don’t need to verify user identities but I know they would quickly make that argument for the same reasons you outlined.
It just sucks that we have all this technological potential but we are so limited by the shittiness of the people in charge that in many cases it feels like a worse idea to use it than to not.
People keep saying this but would you really do that? If we make it out of this mess and do some actual investigations to hold people accountable for it all a few years from now, would you be comfortable defending your choice to work for this administration with a statement like “no seriously guys, I was undercover the whole time?” I sure as shit wouldn’t want to. That doesn’t even touch on the host of ethical lines one would have to cross just to keep up appearances.
He’s just highlighting what was already true. Rich people can do what they like because they control the government and they have class solidarity.
Point the fan outwards and pull heat out instead of pushing cool air in. Problem solved.
I like chickens in a home setting but I’m not sure having more of them in our neighborhoods is a good idea right now considering the widespread bird flu going around
Go 1700s style and hire a kid to follow you around carrying a pride flag on a long pole and a drummer / saxophonist playing some George Michaels tunes
Honey teens sounds like a twister variant invented on Epstein island
People like the idea they just don’t think it’s realistic, which is paradoxically true only because they all think that way.
Yeah like how he went to jail the last two time Dems won elections. Wait…
The people who were drafted and watched people get drafted into the Vietnam War are Trump’s most reliable voting bloc. What are you basing your statement on?
Could be a hardware issue. I am running the same and haven’t seen any of that stuff. Sucks that you have though
Weird. Which model and OS is this happening on?
Interesting, I would have guessed that being left handed would make the placement better. I’ve heard people don’t like the button placement but it doesn’t bother me. I have an iPhone for work as well and as far as I can tell the buttons are in the same place so 🤷
The endorsement loses quite a bit of steam when you follow it up with a statement that makes it sound like you disagree with everything he stands for though, wouldn’t you agree?
