  • The fare enforcement was of course a huge overreach and waste of resources, spending something absurd like 1000x what it recovered. The cops didn’t shoot people over a fare, they shot because someone pulled a knife on them, after trying to use a Taser which failed. Not really sure what else people expect will result if someone pulls a knife on someone with a gun, cop or not.





  • Linux users who haven’t had a driver issue have simply gotten lucky but they confuse this result with technical skill. Sometimes your hardware works fine, sometimes it isn’t supported. Unless you’re writing the drivers yourself you didn’t fix the problem you merely avoided it by happenstance.

    Instead of mocking people like this, us on the left really need to understand them and how to appeal to them better than Trump.

  • Best way I’ve seen to explain solar power and EVs to a right winger is tell them I don’t have to fill my car with expensive Saudi oil, I make good clean American electricity when the sun hits my roof and I use it to drive around. If oil was worthless because we have better forms of power, we could stop caring what some Arab princes think we should be paying to drive to work.

    Piss off your local conservatives by telling them you support an organization that takes unskilled workers and gives them free housing, free healthcare, job training, cheap mortgages, and tax-advantaged income. When they start going on about how that sounds like some “commie bullshit” reveal that you’ve just described the US military. Your mileage (kilometerage?) may vary in countries with a functional healthcare system
