Hyundai is listening to what consumers want much more readily than other manufacturers, and their body designs strike an incredible balance between modern familiarity and retrofuturism. It's almost exactly what I want from a new vehicle, other than the fact that they use all the same forced telemetry that other brands are using.

They're also offering a great spread of electric AND hybrid vehicles to satisfy consumers worried about charger availability as well as consumers worried about the impact of gasoline-powered vehicles.

I won't be surprised if they continue to increase their market share for a long time to come. If only privacy concerns were as common among the broader population as they seem to be here in the Fediverse, then maybe they might address those issues as well and be a no-brainer purchase.

The birth year range for different generations is fuzzy, but I can't find a single source saying that 2006 or 2007 would be considered gen Alpha. The youngest population that voted in this election is gen. Z, and not all members of Gen. Z are eligible to vote yet.

Bonus points if you buy your Bloc no more than 2 items at a time, from multiple stores, including thrifting, and using cash for at least half of it.

However, the economy being good is not often actually good for the customer. It's just a slowing down of things getting worse.

Another reason why domain registrars should be restricting these kinds of sites to their own category of tld

I'm not worried about downvotes when I engage in politics. If it's more than I'm expecting to see, I might reassess whether my take is reasonable or comes from misunderstanding and poor judgement. But if it's a handful of downvotes on a take I stand by, I'm not going to pay them much mind.

A great parable to explain the broad consequences of this election, despite the story not itself being very believable.

And the slim but heavily armed majority of this country will definitely see that as legally justified self defense and have no choice but to accept it peacefully! Right?

The decising factor in most elections is how expensive things feel. Now, the president can't do a whole lot to make things cost less. But they have a hell of a lot of power to make things cost more. So the BEST we can hope for is a president who slows down how fast things are getting more expensive. But when we're spending, we don't feel the current inflation rate, we feel the cumulative effect of inflation for the past few years.

If your ballot is submitted, there's nothing more to do.

If not, I'll see you in line at 7:00 tomorrow!

Don't take this as advice to ignore the picketers, this is a genuine question because I don't understand.

Wouldn't it be more effective to have MORE people do the games today, and for them to disable ads and trackers when they do? Put strain on the services while the workers are on strike, highlighting the need for them.

By moderating our online discussion boards to better weed out posts, comments, replies, etc. from foreign interference and domestic Astroturfing that present themselves as far-left in order to convince people that perfect should be the enemy of better. I swear, nobody comes to the conclusion "Esteemed prosecutor Kamala Harris isn't as bad as convicted felon Donald Trump, but she still has flaws and isn't worthy of my vote in a competition for the most influential job in the world that will certainly come down to one of the two of them" on their own. That idea has to be planted by someone arguing in bad faith, and repeated in many forms for someone to begin to believe it.
