I was gonna say I was still waiting for a seaman 2, but apparently it existed in Japan. Still, with AI bullshit being all the rage I could see it make a comeback.

Can Trump Really Slam the Brakes on Electric Vehicles? He has vowed to shred President Biden’s E.V. policies and has threatened that “You won’t be able to sell those cars.” ( www.nytimes.com )

While a Trump presidency couldn’t slam the brakes on the E.V. transition, it could throw enough sand in the gears to slow it down. And that might have significant consequences for the fight to stop global warming.

TowardsTheFuture ,

To be fair maybe he will also reverse the part where Biden removed eligibility from EV’s for the Tax credit that aren’t sourced from America.

Only bad thing he could do is remove the emissions regulations which weren’t even harsh.

TowardsTheFuture ,

No, not empty seats, just firing 20% of all school staff so we’re still understaffed.

TowardsTheFuture ,

Meanwhile, people who play Xcom refuse to press the button.

Funny part is even at double the cost these cars can probably compete because they’re then what, the price of a Tesla and 5x the quality of Tesla?

TowardsTheFuture ,

But a corporation is not entitled to that.
Neither is money.
People are.

Allowing money to count as a petition is limiting the freedom of those without money then.

Rudy Guliani Blows Past the $43,000 Budget He Committed to in Bankruptcy Proceedings ( www.nytimes.com )

That amount would cover, among other expenses, $5,000 in alimony payments to his ex-wife Judith Giuliani, $1,050 for food and housekeeping supplies and $425 for “personal care products and services.” He was also obliged to cover $13,500 in monthly nursing-home expenses for his former mother-in-law; she died in March....

TowardsTheFuture ,

Ah right. No money. Living on a paltry 3x the national minimum wage salary for a year…. As the budget for every month. Which he still blew past 3x as much.

TowardsTheFuture ,

Good thing glasses are permanently superglued to your face and thus it’s impossible to swap between having them on and off when swapping between going backwards and forwards…

TowardsTheFuture ,

I better have both hands on the wheel for all those times I’m mid turn and shift while still moving into reverse……

It’s… for when you’re backing up. You’ve come to a complete stop. You’re going to stop before you start moving forward again. It’s not hard to tilt glasses onto the top of your head while you stop or flip them back down when you stop.

A MUCH bigger issue would be the rear view mirrors which are just cameras and screens.

Are you mixing the two up?

[Request] If you don't live in a swing region/state, better to vote third party than waste your vote on an almost certain outcome. Yeah?

Is this logic flawed? Obviously in swing races, vote how it's needed, but if it's probably going to be a landslide, why not vote for a third party? Some regions even allow for multiple party representation if enough people show interest, so it could be doing future good (if you think more parties is better representation)

TowardsTheFuture ,

Didn’t know about the last two hadn’t heard of much progress since 2019. Still, need quite a bit more before it matters literally at all. Maybe the wave of people voting for abortion rights can help flip enough seats to people who will support passing this stuff over the next few years.

TowardsTheFuture ,

Seriously I’ve said it before if you’ve backed legislation found to be blatantly unconstitutional you should be removed from office.

TowardsTheFuture ,

I say blatantly which would be different in legalese but basically, if it is directly without need for interpretation such as saying gay people cannot be teachers which is directly discriminating against sexual orientation, then you’re out. Meanwhile if it’s later found to be unconstitutional due to interpretation or implementation such as stop and frisk then you’re not removed, though any laws copying said law that was already found unconstitutional WOULD then cause you to be removed because duh we’ve been here before.

Edit: also, only said outed from office and not banned as if it’s used to remove people they could still be voted back in with a special election or whatever, similar to what happened with jones/pearson being removed using bullshit.

TowardsTheFuture ,

Oh boy don’t look at Florida’s teacher salaries then. (Or whatever hell holes are the 2 states lower than us)

TowardsTheFuture ,

ouch. I'm sorry.

TowardsTheFuture ,

“How do we get people to stop thinking we’re starting a war and committing genocide?”
“Start another war with people they already had a war with.”
Sad it will fucking work because now everyone will use this as an excuse to support them while ignoring the genocide and the fact that they instigated this.

TowardsTheFuture ,

I mean, much worse than the title implies: Arizona Supreme Court removes a law passed 2 years ago in order to reinstate an abortion ban law from before Arizona was even a state, to which the only exception is when absolutely necessary to save the life of the mother. (Which we’ve seen from Texas mean basically won’t happen even if it is medically suggested by multiple doctors.)

TowardsTheFuture ,

Look up Jinn. While plenty of people get the general “genie” stereotype there’s a lot more to Jinn/Djinn Mythology to be explored that can give inspiration. Such as ones that… tickle you to death… cuz… why not.

Florida’s ‘Stop WOKE Act’ commits a ‘First Amendment sin,’ appeals court says in ruling that blocks part of the bill ( www.cnn.com )

“The ideas targeted in Florida’s Individual Freedom Act are embraced in some communities, and despised in others,” the ruling said. “By limiting its restrictions to a list of ideas designated as offensive, the Act targets speech based on its content. And by barring only speech that endorses any of those ideas, it...

TowardsTheFuture ,

Needs to be laws that cause repercussions for fucks who sign draft and pass laws found to be this ridiculously plainly and obviously unconstitutional.

TowardsTheFuture ,

Shit you’re telling me to get rid of those asshole grasshoppers I just need a straight path?

TowardsTheFuture ,

Florida already does this with the whole don’t say gay law, not that big a surprise other pieces of shit will follow.

TowardsTheFuture ,

Man only if they maybe had any sort of fucking foresight and didn’t remove the law allowing him to stay governor while running for president.

Can’t wait til this fucker is gone. Uhg.

“Must live in the middle of nowhere. Must have a vehicle you will not be paid to maintain. Must provide your own medical insurance so we don’t have to provide it legally. Must give us $450 to start. Must be cool with making minimum wage for a minimum of 3 months. Probably forever. Good luck paying for rent, increased gas and maintenance on your car, and your own medical on minimum wage. I hope you die. Welcome to the family.”

2023 saw record killings by US police. Who is most affected? ( www.theguardian.com )

In 2023, Black people were killed at a rate 2.6 times higher than white people, Mapping Police Violence found. Last year, 290 people killed by police were Black, making up 23.5% of victims, while Black Americans make up roughly 14% of the total population. Native Americans were killed at a rate 2.2 times greater than white...

TowardsTheFuture ,

Ooooh hey hold on now that’s PROGRESS. It used to be 3x as likely. Down a whole .4. That’s 13% less bad!!! (Please ignore to be more even police had to kill more people.)

But yeah uh, this shit getting titled “violence” as if it’s not talking about murder is wild.

TowardsTheFuture ,

Because our phone regulations are absolute shit now and thus it’s much easier to hide this shit with everything now.
