@TurnTaySJW @YIMBYLAND It needs to be comfortable. Previous Ferraris could be uncomfortable because it helped make them the fastest. That was the thing. There isn’t much of a market for a $650k car that is slower than a Model S, uncomfortable, and has the same CarPlay as a Prius.

@YIMBYLAND The interior is great. The proportions are awful outside. You knows its bad when you have to use tons of black to break up the absurdly tall body.

My hot take about the Ferrari Luce. People are going to end up loving this car over time and if they don’t, I’ll buy one in a few years at 20% of the original MSRP.

@YIMBYLAND My hot take is the reason they hired Jonny Ive. What is Ferrari in the EV market? A Tesla can beat it. A Rivian is more convenient. A Mach-E is cheaper. Tesla and Rivian will have better software. The only place left to stand out is design.

@dilanesper Kind of crazy a major Republican attack ad is “look what people they released did” … yet Trump released a lot of people who did bad things

POTUS did these pardons so quickly that nobody bothered to look at the cases individually and figure out if there were people too dangerous to pardon. They treated some guy with no criminal record who did something dumb, and very dangerous sociopaths, totally alike.

"President pardons his supporter who goes on to molest kids" would have been a MASSIVE scandal for any other administration

If a site or app forces me to answer some unnecessary question before I can continue, I always give a wrong answer. How did you hear about us? Radio. Does anyone else do that?

It’s just like yesterday when Tim Walz allowed Minneapolis to burn for days of rioting and chaos before bothering to call in the National Guard.

@char5191 @dilanesper Social norms change.

English

Cowboy Charlie@char5191·14h

@Caffeindated @dilanesper We have social norms. We have objectively defined lives that have worked just fine for 100 years.

Fun fact, if you take from the belief youth sports should be inclusive "You really just hate girls and women and view us as the lesser sex that exists to serve men's wants" you have very bad reasoning skills.

Don'tShoveTheLesbians🌞@akabeth10

You really just hate girls and women and view us as the lesser sex that exists to serve men's wants, inc as emotional support animals for cheating and abusive males. That's what we hear loud and clear. Jackasses like you and Tom are why I left the Dem party and will never vote for another one until you all pull your heads out of your misogynistic asses. If that's even possible given what patronizing narcissists you all are. Go tell these girls your brilliant solution.

There is a lot of lighting on nuclear icebreakers, because they simply have nowhere to put their energy. Itis necessary to maintain a certain level of load on the reactor ⚛️ As a result, nuclear icebreakers become real lighthouses in the world of endless night

Trains need population density in order to be cost-effective. If you don't allow dense housing, good luck getting a train system to be sustainable.

Mediterranean gyal🌊@HakataQueen

On another note I love how in Tokyo you can take 72 different trains and cross the entirety of the Kanto area and it costs like ¥172 meanwhile in Fukuoka you take the subway for 10 minutes and it’s like ¥560

@dhaaruni I think people should be open with their preferences. However, that should extend to men’s preference for thinner women.

English

Caffeine Powered@Caffeindated·1d

@dilanesper Of course the taboo part is that many men like thin women. I much prefer thin women. That shouldn’t be any more controversial than women stating they like tall men.

@MattZeitlin I dunno, I think we just need an abundance agenda for experiences. These things can scale — look how many concert residency seats Las Vegas has added in the last 20 years. With different policy, Colorado could have way more skiable acres and hotel rooms. Etc etc

@BriannaWu @robbystarbuck Certainly in your case it was not good. Perhaps for some people it could be good and for others a path like yours would be better?

Robby, first of all the Nazis tried that in their perversion of science. It does not work. Secondly, testosterone shatters our minds. When it hit me I went from shakey mental health to full on suicidal ideation. I failed the seventh grade because I couldn’t function. I stopped speaking. I still have scars on my wrist from trying to kill myself. So no, that’s not a good idea.

Brianna Wu@BriannaWu·1d

One reason I feel confident science will eventually find a biological basis for transsexuality is most of us have this same gawky, thin androgynous look before we transition. There’s gotta be a reason testosterone bounces off us. And it’s gotta be related to why testosterone breaks our brains.

@joquji5n324il I understand why it would be useful for vegans. As a non-vegan, I have come to associate something being labeled as vegan as being labeled as "less yummy".

English

ℂ∅ϼƔ⊆∀†@joquji5n324il·1d

@Caffeindated Disagree. Plenty of foods labeled vegan taste amazing. I'm sure if you think about it enough you can figure out why a vegan would appreciate vegan burgers being labeled as vegan but wouldn't need that label for a banana.

@dilanesper That was only the case in certain circles. What social media allowed is for you to have non-overlapping social circles. You can curate your Twitter feed different than you curate your backyard barbecue.

The basic problem with social media amplifying bigotry is before social media racists were sent the message that they were alone and freaks and their beliefs were stupid and nobody else held them. Social media gave all the racists a community that supported them.

@avidseries Immigration is a national security concern. Limiting the best talent from coming here puts us at a strategic disadvantage

English

i/o@avidseries·2d

The rightwing bubble is one of the most statistically illiterate districts in the discourse when it comes to immigration. Here are a few of the things they don't seem to know: (1) Indian H-1Bs are only a tiny percentage of the total legal immigrant population in the US (about 1 to 2%). (2) Just because a group might suck in Europe (e.g., Pakistanis, Lebanese, Turks), doesn't mean they suck here in the US. (All of those groups I named outperform whites on income and education here in the US). (3) Legal immigrants (including from many nations in the developing world) drive innovation and tech company creation here in the US at a higher rate than do native-born Americans. (4) While Indian immigrants display more in-group hiring bias than native-born whites, the amount of this bias is only average among immigrant groups.
