A specific Israeli political party and a terrorist organization, both of which are the spiritual as well as literal ancestry of the current fascist government of Israel.

Nope. The logic is that "I'm not a fan boy but" is usually as true as "I'm not a racist but".

In both cases, what follows will usually be proof that everything before "but" was a lie.

Or to put it in yet another way: people who feel the need to assure others that they're definitely not fan boys..are usually fan boys.

Me being right or wrong has nothing to do with it at all.

Tesla has exceeded safety test rankings beyond the vast majority of other manufacturers and has received numerous top accolades from very reputable safety sources.

Those were all in the beginning when they were new and trying to impress the world. To say standards have slipped since then is the understatement of the century.

Never trust a guy who says "I'm not a fan boy but" and then repeatedly brushes all criticism of what he's pretending not to fanboy over as "echo chamber nonsense". 😂

Especially not after him repeating PR talking points almost word for word for what would have been at least two paragraphs with better formatting 🙄

For example, below is the kind of welding that passes muster at Tesla. The Tesla quality assurance as instituted by Musk himself is "don't. It makes the wait lists shrink more slowly".

Would you feel safe accelerating 0-60 in under 4 seconds in two tons of badly assembled steel? I sure wouldn't!

People have died because of the price gouging?

No, because of the bad build quality, obviously.

For some reason, "fast, shoddily built and weighs two metric tons" isn't great for avoiding faults that sometimes lead to fatalities.

Maybe think for a second more before you start ranting about someone else being ridiculous 🙄

I disagree. It's tantamount to fraud and you better believe people have died because of it.

Even ignoring bizarre stuff like this, it's priced like a Jaguar and has the build quality of a Yugo. I say keep sharpening.

It looks ridiculous and it's moved there very carefully.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 0 points 10 months ago

Very carefully.

effectively barring you from travelling anywhere if there is a possibility you may be pregnant. Freedom!

Holy Handmaid's Tale, Batman! 🤬

Yeah, what does he think he is, some kind of big guvmint vaccine mandate coming to take our guns??

There's no way it would get that far, even in Texas.

Apart from the obvious fact of Texas law having no legal bearing on what people do outside of Texas, you can't rule in favor of Paxton without opening up Texas to a shitload of trouble from states who would like to for example close a couple gun law loopholes..
