Your mistake was using “Hitler” and “allegedly”, an incredibly poor choice.

The rest of your argument is plausible.

That’s like saying gravity isn’t actually gravity and didn’t do gravity things unless a scientist tests it exhaustively and then says “gravity exists.”

Anyone can see gravity does indeed exist and does gravity things, it’s the extent of the properties of gravity that need to be left to the experts.

Hitler did genocide. No question.

How much did he genocide? Quite a lot, but we don’t have precise numbers.

So yes, Hitler did do genocidal things regardless of whether or not he had a court convict him of those things, and no, we don’t need “allegedly” as pedantry or exploiting an irrelevant technicality.

Sure.

Overrun by enshittification, rent extracting corporations that have decided that this is cheaper and more profitable than R&D into actual new tech, billionaires using the world economy and geopolitical stability as their personal playthings, the rise of aggressively willful ignorance, massive social media disinformation campaigns on the State level, growing nationalism and fascism, and all that under the warming atmosphere that is destroying our food, water supplies, and lives.

And the only thing that could potentially at least hopefully mitigate the life-threatening issues is Fusion Power, but only if it actually works in time to help us discard the majority of fossil fuel use and maybe directly power carbon extraction from the atmosphere. But I doubt we’ll make that goal.

But are you tubgirl old?

You skip past the part where lots of software doesn’t work on linux, or there are tons of hoops to jump through to get it to work, and once it’s working it can be broken by an update or upgrade. And no, not everything everyone uses has a 1:1 Linux equivalent.

What works on linux works great. No complaints there.

They’re working on it.

That‘s definitely a possibility. People don‘t want futuristic unless maybe it‘s a sports car, and even then it‘s iffy.

I would say it’s less hostile than the rest of the internet unless you disagree with people in a /c on the subject it’s named after or the instance hivemind. IOW saying Windows has lots of good points in /linux or saying Ukraine is right to take the war to Russia in a .ml /c is likely not going to go well for you.

I appreciate the seriousness here though, I was wholly sick and tired of Reddit’s handing karma to flippant comments even on serious subjects so that the actual discussion was buried or ignored under the same old retreaded humor.

As far as the rest, it’s no different here than other social media. People always trying to exploit technicalities or engage in pedantry to get the last say in a discussion, engage in other argument fallacies like hypocrisy, etc. I do find that’s a little worse here thanks to how much politics is discussed and all the shit that’s happening in the world right now.

2024 and 2026 Prius both show 57/56 city/highway economy on fueleconomy.gov for the most economic models. The 2022 shows 54/50, the 2019 58/53.

So it looks like average economy has improved.

As for cargo, that’s unfortunate to lose space, but if they can get more people to buy the car because it looks more “normal” then that’s better, no?

“A Ford”? A Model A you mean?

Thankfully places in the US are slowly switching to those wireless POS terminals that are brought to the table. So many cards get skimmed when handed to servers and they leave your sight.

You can…until they come for the kits and older cars. It’s also expensive and takes a while, too.

Eh, they make boring looking SUVs, and a good chunk of their lineup is just expensive sporty sedans coupes. Not really surprised they’re making an EV, but it’s pretty ugly.

Guess they wanted a “unwanted stepchild” that couldn’t be associated with the design style of the rest of the fleet. They certainly succeeded with that.

Edit: apparently I’ve woken the Ferrari fans.

The Purosangue is an SUV. A sedan can be either two or four door for the record. You’ll have to forgive my casual use of “sedan”, it should be coupe or similar.

The secretly don’t want to manufacture them so they make them look like shit?

Obviously they can be made to look normal, the Ford Lightning & Mach E, Lucid, Polestar, and even a Tesla all look pretty normal and arguably some look really nice. But ask a mainstream manufacturer to make an EV car and they look stupid half the time. The Prius finally doesn’t look like it’s trying to virtue signal with its ugliness, so designs can be improved too.

They were called foursquare balls, too. I don’t think anyone plays that game anymore.

Edit: quick look around online and some are indeed called “foursquare” balls.

When you tell the people to mash the easy button and then they do exactly what you wanted. They created the monster.

Ok dude.

Ah, good job. Now you’ve swung to insults. That’ll win ya. Guess you need everything explained to you. Your argument is attempting to force a point against what society has deemed what monetary worth is.

You’re not gonna win that argument, but feel free to bang your head on the keyboard uselessly while you attempt to bend the world to your will.

Not only that, but you have moved the goalposts from “billionaires are still worth money even if it isn’t all in cash” to “they can’t possibly cash it all out so it doesn‘t count.“ A real strawman that has no bearing on how wealth works. So your “truth” is irrelevant.

Wonder who is paying for that mansion.

edit: whole streetfull of these homes.

I’m not playing financial Schrodinger’s Box with you.
