I think more and more fandoms are also finally starting to have reckonings with the right-wing shitbags that have infiltrated their spaces since 2014/2016 like the furries did earlier this decade. Star Wars, for example, is currently undergoing a widespread internal movement to maybe finally flush all the loving misogynists and incels out to sea after the biggest Star Wars YouTuber had some chud psychologist on his show and she went "Women don't like Star Wars, it's not a space for girls, there should be fewer women in Star Wars, not more" and he nodded along and went "Yep, keeping women out of my sacred space wizard cartoon is Priority 1", and so now female and non-incel male Star Wars fans are rising up and going "gently caress you, you gatekeeping weirdo(s), Star Wars if for everyone" in a way that hasn't really been seen before.

I am a turbo Warhammer nerd and have seen this from the inside. Hardliner chud dickheads are trying to keep newcomers out in order to prevemt the "tainting of their fandom". To this I said what would have happened if the old guard 20 years ago had kicked you out? What would have happened to all of your good sci fi fascism times if those greybeards didn't let you in? Without new blood any community will die, which means it becomes the duty of veterans to introduce newbs and make sure they have a good time.

Wait, EV's don't require gas or oil changes? :confused:

No gas to fill up on, just a plug in my garage. No oil to change. Brake pads generally get less wear too since most of the braking is regen. No point in having a clutch or a gearbox. Although tire tread wears out faster

The EV Federal Tax Credit can now be given directly to your dealer, which means that you get $7500 taken off the sticker price. There's only like 19 models that qualify now because they made some changes to the battery composition requirements, but it might make them just affordable enough for people now.

I'm someone with a severe anxiety disorder and a lot of the doomer stuff and just news in general lately has been really getting to me. It's hard not to spiral a lot.

I'm looking for some reasurrance that it really is doomer poo poo and Trump isn't just going to sweep back into the White Hourse and put all my trans friends in camps.

Biden is still more likely to get re-elected right? That hasn't suddenly changed?

We're in a weird spot where everyone expects the Democrats to win the house while simultaneously Biden has about a 50 percent to win. Only thing to say is that his support will harden as we approach November and people start to actually pay attention.

I truly don't think he wins if his support for Israel stays this strong however. That war needs to end on it's own or he needs to get vocal about a cease fire. I also don't think focusing on Trump as a "threat to democracy" motivates a single vote he doesn't already have. He needs to talk about real things.

I'm also a pretty anxious person but I would suspect the only reason we're seeing Trump doing as """well""" as he's doing is because most of the country still assumes he won't be the candidate. His brains are turning to jelly, his primary demographic is aging out or dead from the 'VID, and the Dems haven't even started reminding women about Roe or the rest of the country about the myriad ways that Trump loving sucks. There's always the possibility that something insane happens and he gets another groundswell of national support but I think most people nationwide are sick of his poo poo and seeing him constantly on mainstream TV again will remind people how nice it was to not have to hear about his dumb rear end every day for four years.

But not us, we all float in here... :getin:

Honestly. I dont think I/P stuff means poo poo to most people at this moment but I do think biden needs to be louder about trying to drag israel back a ton. apperently him and bibi had a big blow out in like november and december and havent talked directly since. everything i have read is the white house is basicaly giving israel til begining of febuary to either declare victory or draw down or else something.

Even if he's elected he only gets four years, and the other two branches of government did their job to keep him in check last time. He can do a lot of horrible damage but it's finite and changeable.

A lot of wear on your oil is heat, friction, and pollution from the internal combustion. chemically breaks down its ability to lubricate. an electric needs bearing grease at load points, and functionally not much more. fuel cell is mechanically inert, cabling to the 2 to 4 electric motors controlling the wheels. motors need like axle grease and thats about it. the wheel motors need cooling, but not much else. << half remembered blueprints to basic electric vehicles in a class from 2017

maybe,. I am pretty sure biden is trying to keep israel from invading lebanon. personally i thinka bunch of this is solved by quietly pushing the IDF or etc to coup bibi and co. i can see it happening because Bibi position is loving dire and the military/ic are loving pissed at him and his ultra religious dipshit friends. that being said, trump wouldnt solve that and will just run on "close borders and nuke the ME".

Any oil in an EV is in a closed system. No replacement. Look up the maintenance schedule for a bolt. The only liquid they say to replace is coolant at 150,000mi. It’s really just wiper blades, cabin air filters, and brake pads, but even the brake pads last forever because most of your slowing is due to regenerative braking instead of friction braking.

The rightwing fight against EV will go down in history as one of the weirdest things in modern history, there are legit criticism that there are infrastructure concerns with widespread adoption but the entire thread seems to be "I hate rich liberals and they they seem to like these cars and therefor the must be loving morons."

There is absolutely no coherent rightwing political reason to hate EVs and yet they have an absolute burning hate for them because rich people in California or something?

You are projecting memory onto people who refuse to use it. This is the same crowd that came out as pro-smoking once it started getting regulated, protested against drunk driving and seatbelt laws, and got vocal about incandescent lights and now gas stoves. Being wrong about every last thing at every step of the way will not result in one moment of introspection.

Even if Trump wins he's too much of a lazy poo poo to get around to passing any legislation to put anyone in a camp. There's a fairly good chance he dies on a toilet regardless of the election outcome. I hope this in some way helps with your anxiety.
