IOwnCalculus posted:I started rolling back my follows on Freiburger just because I got tired of all of his whataboutism on EVs. I don't think I saw anything full on problematic, just... dense. He posted stuff on his Instagram a few years back about the Reagan years being the 'good years' or something, but apart from that I don't think he's publicly said anything else particularly heinous.

BuckyDoneGun posted:Whilst I understand the horrible position marginalised groups are in, herein lies the problem if we start going down the rabbithole of "corporations are evil and do evil things" - is there even such as thing as an ethical manufacturer of murder weapons? You don't need to dig that far. As 22 Eargesplitten already mentioned, there's a difference between 'someone makes something ethically dubious' and 'someone makes something ethically dubious while funding, platforming, and espousing generally hateful content towards the sheer existence of certain people'. Just because there's no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism or w/e doesn't mean that there aren't choices people can make as consumers to at least have their own pocket money not going towards people who are going to use it for things they find despicable. Like... if someone came out and said the owners of Rock Auto were all major donors to far right politicians who were actively campaigning to put trans folk in prison, or that Akira Nakai/RWB was deep into far right Japanese politics and has gone on record denying the existence of comfort women or whatever... Then you don't need to go 'but they're all involved in the automotive hobby, which is contributing to the obsession of private car ownership and rapidly accelerating us towards environmental collapse due to global warming', you can just. Call them lovely people, stop buying from or promoting them, and move on.

Ether Frenzy posted:Mentioned this friend's channel before, he's not automotive on this content, but it's still stuff that most AI people find interesting and he knows more about cars and how they work than I do. ...Wait really? I've watched Adrian's videos pretty much since his first forays into 'I bought an old computer' got recommended to me and I don't think I've ever heard him say anything about cars. I feel like he maybe had some videos about his car from before when his channel was just random uploads, but they all seemed like DIY type stuff.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Mike Rowe was just on sundae conversation and trotted out the old "THERE ARE SO MANY JOBS TODAY BUT NOBODY WANTS TO WORK" republican classic from the last couple years That's always been his line. The entire point of Dirty Jobs was 'hey look at all these jobs that nobody wants because they're ~real work~'.
