  1. In fairness, literal nazis were marching in the streets chanting "Jews will not replace us" and killing protesters in 2017. Just to remind you how fucking insane shit was
  2. Oh you know, it's the threads that many people are saying
  3. Hey real quick, just a temp check: was the 2020 election stolen?
  4. Guns in school : I sleep Book in school : real shit? https://whdh.com/news/massachusetts-police-apologize-after-officer-searched-a-middle-school-for-lgbtq-book/
  5. IMO, it's not that there are recalls happening. They're pretty much always going to happen for anything operating at scale because fuckups happen and amplify down the line when you're making high volume things. What I do find contemptible is Teslas response to their findings of multiple major manufacturing defects - not software defects - and attempting to conceal it and push the cost onto their customers. It built a lie of a facade that Tesla was just better™ and was a big part of elmos ability to pump his TSLA shares. It was arguably fraudulent, considering they were selling cars with known defects and advertising/presenting them as bulletproof.

  7. That fuck up in itself is an egregious outlier in how companies handle recalls. That doesn't happen with literally any other car manufacturers, much less the one that's larger than it's next 5 competitors combined.
  8. Did improper use result in multiple fucking suspension arms doing an RUD? There's more at issue here than your $8,000 early access beta pedestrian smearing software, but you seem incapable of discussing literally anything else
  9. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/twitter-violated-contract-pay-millions-bonuses-us-judge-rules-rcna131034 WASHINGTON — Twitter violated contracts by failing to pay millions of dollars in bonuses that the social media company, now called X Corp, had promised its employees, a federal judge ruled on Friday. Mark Schobinger, who was Twitter’s senior director of compensation before leaving Elon Musk’s company in May, sued Twitter in June, claiming breach of contract. Schobinger’s suit alleged that before and after billionaire Musk bought Twitter last year, it promised employees 50% of their 2022 target bonuses but never made those payments.
  10. A fuel pump going out results in an engine stall out and loss of power. It's not a good thing to have happen, but the car is still controllable and completely fixable without any lasting damage after a warranty pump replacement. That's what happened to a number of Honda drivers, and Honda issued a global recall to resolve the issues. A fucking suspension arm coming off a Tesla means uneven application of torque to the ground resulting in worse driver control. Plus a fucking wheel falls off and will almost certainly lead to significant body and potential frame damage. That happened to a brand fuckin new Tesla, and they stuck the owner with the repair bill AND COVERED IT UP! However they did issue a recall in China because they couldn't hide it from the Chinese government because they have worse regulatory capture there. Honda covered the repair costs, and the damage was fully repairable with low risk of permanent damage and low risk to third parties. Tesla stuck customers with repair costs for manufacturing defects, and the damage was catastrophic and made the car much more difficult to control in an emergency scenario. Sure the person in the Tesla may be fine, but the person/car they could spin into would be worse for wear. Like goddamn dude you are doing the laziest whatabout #bothsides
  11. Yeah I know quite a few business leaders who fit this description, and they ain't spring chickens. I think it's a core lack of curiosity that ends up expressing itself whenever they encounter something that takes more than a moment to learn about
  12. Upon further googling, I found a post in /r/aggies that would indicate that he never even actually enrolled there lol
  13. Well, Imma, honestly for all of its warts surly is what's kept me looking forward to the next year of football year over year. Because if nothing else we can meltdown with the best of em lol. Surly is just about the last community I have from the "old" internet, and goddamnit it's still thriving because of all of your efforts. And y'all put on a hell of a tailgate! It was a blast shotgunning a beer with ya on alumni band weekend and showing off the NIL efforts to alumni friends. But with regard to the "old internet" thing, I'd bet that's why there's less of a young crowd draw. Message boards don't got the rizz they used to, but the message board format is a big part of surly's identity
  14. Lol go to texags to fellate your fascist street fighter of choice. You really think a washout chud little murdering fuck that couldn't even stay in blinndergarden would be too dumb for the marines?
  15. And one step of further division, the top 1% owns 53% of stocks in the country. The gains and growth of the stock market aren't being realized uniformly. Wage earners have been getting fuckin spitroasted
  16. Or perhaps in Texas, that IS the predominant christian experience?
  17. The reporting from Reuters and the paper records from the internal Tesla comms are pretty incredible. Tesla stuck a customer with a $4000 repair bill to fix their corroded power steering system because the customer had the gall to run their car through a car wash. Absolutely ridiculous behavior for the MOST VALUABLE CAR MAKER IN THE WORLD (by market cap)
  18. Boss Hogg is GRU, and fatty gave a ♥️ to his repetition of the great replacement racist theory
  19. Shit in one hand and hope in the other and let me know which one fills up first. I have zero doubt the supreme court will find a way to continually delay trumps court dates.
  20. Tesla is unique in that they knew about the manufacturing defects and issued recalls in other countries, but did not in the US. In the US, they blamed driver error when they knew they were lying about it. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/ For """not defending musk and tesla""" you sure are defending them alot.
  21. Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning also had some great reflections on their growing up inside the fundagelical movement and purity culture. The last one they did, they invited their wives on to share their experiences and the female experience in purity culture as children and young women.
  22. But I have been assured repeatedly that the supreme court isn't trying to help trump.
  23. That ain't purity culture. There's nothing clear and responsible with telling children that all sex is wrong and evil and even thinking about it is a sin. Like stache shared, it can and inevitably does lead to a complex of shame and a complete lack of emotional skills to handle when they get to the big day. It leads to shit like people rushing to get married only so they can finally fuck, and then learning that neither of them have a healthy relationship with sex. I was the best man at one of those weddings, and boy howdy those Hardin-Simmons grads are some weirdly repressed motherfuckers. Ultimately, it's WRONG to teach children that the core of their value and worth is their sexual purity. And that's the essence of purity culture.
