On Discord I always get more DMs around certain times of year, I think it's from college kids getting on there for the first time and not knowing the general etiquette. Or thinking you need to send a friend request to someone before talking to them. Interesting how some patterns return.
Of new gas cars though. But by changing how you charge a battery you change its effective efficiency. A gas engine can't run on anything but gasoline. (E.g., gas and diesel engines aren't compatible with the opposite liquid.)
Many cities had public transport that was demolished for cars. Atlanta had a lot of streetcars. Now the only streetcar it has is sort of a joke. (It'd be less of one if there was better coverage though, but I fear it's unlikely to get buy in.)
Also, EVs have the potential to basically be "100% efficient" if they happen to be charged by solar. With combustion engines you're never going to get any sort of improvement, it's just always what it is.
I think that's because Meta acquiring Oculus was the enshitfication.
B- but the DOW 🥺
It's a major pet peeve of mind when places get overly zealous about moderating what is on or off topic when the volume of posts doesn't warrant it. Especially when there has already been some discussion on the posts.

To give the government a 50% stake. I know the government is the public in some sense, but still.
Even if it's real, it could just be a typo and editorial oversight.
What about that time you posted a meme to your friends discord server making fun of Donald Trump?
This is a good example because they can and have started going after this type of stuff. I think it's still going to be failing for some time, but that they even try, that people even get arrested is terrifying.
The best way I can explain it to people is that you think you have nothing to hide now but you think that because you agree with the government. Maybe a good way to explain it to conservative folks would be to say something like "what if they imprisoned you for sharing your religious beliefs?"
I mean to an extent, yeah, but most companies implementing this stuff are doing so because of laws in various jurisdictions, not because they're worried about their image. But of course it's all connected, if your image gets bad enough then law makers force your hand.
God forbid they actually try to moderate things properly, why make them do that when we can get all this facial data??
