The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current.

It's inferior in every way. PayPal has been known to freeze accounts and drag their feet on unfreezing them. With Venmo and CashApp and all the various cryptos sending money to people has never been easier.
I know this may seem trivial to many, but I have not found any remarks by Elon Musk that are definitively sexist (including transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, etc.)....
It's probably just nostalgia but the 90s were formative. It was pretty much peak network TV. Peak music label music, the internet was a thing everyone had heard about but only schools and nerdy parents had. It really does feel like a different era.
I agree that was the like the moment the coup succeeded but they'd been planning it since FDR.
They hated the New Deal and everything it represented, they want a return to the gilded age when they were the aristocracy and everyone else was a lesser.
It's a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way "how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all)"
They've been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.
I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities.
The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.
Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

You sound just like one. I can picture you sitting in a Ford F-150, way too red in the face, wearing wrap around sunglasses and a goatee saying stupid shit like "not my president!"
I would think that studying history and basing beliefs on evidence would lead one to arrive at a more nuanced understanding than going, “idk seems bad.”
You'd think so but here we are, "beliefs" are based on "faith" and "evidence" is up for "interpretation." A room full of people can read a story and all take something different from it, if we could all just study history and decide what the best course of action is, that'd be cool.
Old people's vote is vastly more difficult to suppress. Old people go vote, the youth though? Just tell them shits fucked and their vote doesnt matter and they eagerly give up and sit home.
I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished.

Chinese police hunting international corruption targets were allowed into Australia by the federal police and subsequently escorted a woman back to China for trial, in a major breach of Chinese-Australian police protocols....
Depends, are we talking about Chinese nationals or immigrants? They a naturalized citizen? I remember some reports about Chinese people being harassed by Chinese police here in the U.S. just last year.
I have no issue with Asian people. It's the prison system that's the issue, but you know that and just want to cry racist because claiming the Chinese prison system is preferable is laughable at best, nice try tankie.
I'm the only one that's posted any links to any data or "observational evidence" (tips fedora lol neckbeard). All you've done is vaguely hint at Chinese prisons being preferable to Aussie ones.
I've never really gotten to see one of you in the wild.

Does everyone already have their guns, boots, and beans?
Nows the time, get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your community. The police will not protect us, they'll happily club a senior citizen to the ground and shoot you in the face with a rubber bullet.
If a MAGAt caravan comes rolling through your (or your friends) neighborhood with bad intentions you don't want to be caught lacking.
Each person should assess their needs and prepare appropriately. Maybe a person wants one general purpose gun. Someone else might want a very long range rifle with a small sidearm as backup.
Frankly getting bogged down in the minutiae immediately (and talking gun control of all things) is being unable to see the forest for the trees and really emblematic of why "the left" can't get anything done. You don't want two guns that's great don't get two it's not a difficult concept. In case you missed the point your protection is on you so prepare accordingly.
It's like you've never actually fired a gun. Do you think shooting something 100 yards away is the same as shooting something 4 foot away?
I can see you don't like guns and that's fine, that means my comment was clearly not meant for you but for people who are willing to defend themselves when the worst case scenario becomes reality. Maybe you'd feel differently if you had a family to protect, but maybe you'd just equivocate and "ackshually" while they carted your trans kid off. I don't know and don't really care tbh, the post was for those paying attention. Have a nice day.
Turkey has halted all trade with Israel, citing the “worsening humanitarian tragedy” in the Palestinian territories, which prompted strong criticism from the Israeli foreign minister....
Interesting, other than it being linked to .ml, and the article being paywalled:
Trade between the countries was worth $6.8 billion in 2023, of which 76% was Turkish exports, according to the Turkish statistical institute.
Total trade between the two countries is worth $6.8, 76% of that $6.8 billion is made up Turkist exports. That doesn't mean that Israel buys 76% of Turkeys exported products.

As many people die from covid as do from influenza or RSV at this point. I'm not saying it's not a serious illness but I am saying it's very far from "an uncontrolled pandemic" and saying it is is hyperbolic to the point of disregarding any other point you made.
