My Lemmy experience has been better than Reddit ever was, but that honestly sounds like cope. Vast swaths of people couldn’t even be bothered to figure out an instance to pick, now the few that bothered are having to migrate. I think this will be a big net loss for Lemmy.

“I don’t want the US to become authoritarian like China has historically been perceived as by Americans”

“Oh so you hate everyone from Asia”

How is that not a textbook strawman?

The Chinese government does not encompass all asians. When people talk about the oppression of the Chinese government they are not criticizing Asian people in general, but an extremely small subset of powerful people, regardless of their region of origin or culture. Do you think this person hates people from Japan now too?

You are being deliberately intellectually dishonest, I’m assuming.

They were talking about the Chinese government and you turned that into “asians”.

Nice strawman

I like that the title of this post points out the least interesting part of the article, well done.

I consider all junkfood a type of cake, so I only eat junkfood as often as I would eat cake, which is sadly too often.

The BATman of the family

I’ve owned a Tesla and I’d say your wrong about pretty much everything here.

The whole point of buying an EV is that it stops polluting after it’s been manufactured (ignoring tires) and specifically that you stop polluting your local environment, making it out like used gas powered cars are just as good as used EVs is disingenuous at best.

At least it still has the same low effort comments as Reddit.

That is an insane take to me. Elon Musk is Nazi scum and the Tesla has issues, but the infotainment system is the best you can get in any car and the main reason I haven’t been able to get rid of it, ignoring the fact that literally every other non Chinese EV in the same price range in my country is objectively worse specced.

Having an extremely responsive map with satellite imagery that boots up instantly is already better than every other car out there, but it also has built-in dashcam and livestream functionality for all 4 cameras, which is a bitch to install in other cars, and it’s already saved me a bunch of times.

Android Auto just plain sucks ass, disconnects constantly and a lot of newer models still require a wired connection.

Also worth noting you’re not paying for the infotainment, you’re paying for the cellular connection, with whatever local cellular company they are working with. In my case it’s cheaper than getting a data plan directly from the cellular company and my old Hyundai didn’t even have that option in my country.

That feels a bit disingenuous. The record labels were already thoroughly fucking over musicians.
