Oh wow I didn't even know about that. That even deepens the comparison with Apple. Now I wonder what Tesla's policy is on the Right to Repair...

Lol why is there a tennis racket in the girl's speech bubble? Are only girls allowed to play tennis?
(Yes, yes, I realize it's a mirror. But it only emphasizes the fact that gender roles are utter bullshit, doesn't it?)

Shouldn't it be oral? Y'know, since their mouths are open and... I'll see myself out.

Tesla isn't even that eco-friendly. The mining of heavy metals for batteries is terrible for the environment, and of course it is mostly done in China so it once again increases the West's dependency on a totalitarian country without human rights. And the batteries themselves don't usually last more than 10 years, unlike oil engines that, if taken care of properly, can go for decades. Not to mention the eco-friendliness of a Tesla heavily depends on where the country you're charging it in gets its power. If it's from renewable, eco-friendly sources, great. If it's from coal plants, not great.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no oil shill, I just think mining heavy metals to make batteries that won't last you more than 10 years isn't really the way to go, environmentally speaking. And for a long time I had a weird feeling about Tesla and Musk. It's like, more of a fashion company than a car company, in the same way Apple is more of a fashion company than a tech company. Y'know what I mean?

Right, yeah. I'm just saying if that's your go-to, something that can easily turn 180° and make you look even worse, you might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, y'know

Well said. My dream is to build a tiny house and fuck off into the wilderness. I don't need to be rich, especially when getting really rich usually requires exploiting other people and their labor.

Nah I'd still say it's pretty dumb to call someone ugly right after attempting to pursue them. I get they just want to hurt the person and maybe the insult is just akin to throwing a tantrum but this is such an easy insult to make a retort to given the circumstances, the only thing it'll do is make the person making the insult look like a total tool. I mean, there's a reason why "whatever you're ugly anyway" is pretty much a meme these days. Or the "nice guys" trope.

And also communist can mean whatever you want as long as you convince the public that something/someone is communist. Ah, the illusion of choice.

I admire her giving him another chance. If a guy just brought another date to our date, I'd just stop bothering with him. Why would I waste my time on such a dickbag?

So true! The "chromosome crowd" drives me mad. They learnt this simplified version in middle school and now they can't accept that actual biology is a lot more complicated. There are so many different chromosomal combinations, a lot of which aren't distinguishable by the naked eye from what we consider "normal", ie. XX and XY. For example XYY symptoms are above average height, acne prone skin and learning difficulties. Just off the top of my head I can name multiple individuals I know who might have it, or each of those symptoms can just be caused by something else.
The "gender = XX or XY" people use chromosomes as the end all be all because they don't want to admit they're just judging people by what they look like, which would make then have to admit gender is at least in part performative and not set in stone.

If it was popular to be a Nazi, all these big corporations would be posting swastika emojis. They just go for what their analysts tell them will give them more $$$. No moral standards, but this is especially ironic considering their human rights violations in Asia.

I was told that girls are naturally bad at math, lol. "Nothing you can do about it, you just suck!" Told by a female teacher too. I was born in 96, so this happened in the early 2000s, not that long ago. I'd expect that mindset in the 50s, not the 2000s.

Tbh I found TLOU2 ending to be pretty good and fitting the plot and characters. Not gonna spoil it here but this is just about the only case where I didn't get the "oh THIS annoying trope" moment because it just, idk, fit with the context? Plus the scene at the very end, oh man, I actually cried.
