    At first I was like, “lol, what kind of dumpster fire is this going to be?”, and then I started listening to it and holy shit that’s awesome. I’m going to have to go back and read the captions so I can see what the fuck the song is about (my luck it’s some pro-nazi bullshit) but music wise it is fucking fire, hell even the video is decent.

    Actually, it looks like it’s anti-political corruption. That’s fucking awesome. And the lyrics are fucking amazing. There’s some serious poetry, humor, and rage rolled up this thing.

    Range anxiety is not just about a single trip. You are assuming that not only will we all be able to just charge whenever and wherever we park our cars, but that we’ll never fail to do so. You also assume that only one person will be driving the car. If I forget to plug in my phone it’s not a big deal. I can just plug it in on the way to work or bring a battery pack. And it is not uncommon for my kid to bring our car home on empty. And then of course there are broken charges and unreliable utilities. I can’t even count on a reliable internet connection wherever I go and that can be supplied wirelessly. I have lived far enough out in the country before that I’ve had to deal with range anxiety in ICE vehicles. The threat of running out of gas before you can make it to a gas station is a very real and stressful issue. I can only imagine how much worse it is going to be when it takes more than just a gas can and a few minutes to get you going when you screw up.


  • Yes, these stories are either outright lies, or are about rich people not being willing to wait their turn. Meanwhile, here I am drowning in medical debt, putting off getting procedures done, and trying to decide if I would rather just live with my dental problems, or risk getting kidnapped and murdered in Mexico, because they have so many Americans crossing the border to get dental work that they have not one, but multiple top tier dental towns.



  • That’s not the advertisement that you think it is. If you think about it for even a moment you’ll realize that it’s because we prioritize the wealthy in the US. Sure a rich person from Canada can come down and get a procedure in a moment’s notice but how many Americans have to leave the US to get the procedure themselves or even worse are never able to get it at all?
