The article offers no clue about the source of the information; the Dogequest site seems like an attack against Tesla across the board, from charging & sales locations to individual owners.
I'm strongly against paying a subscription to get what should be sold as a complete product. The hack is more or less incidental to me.
(Rivian, but Tesla has subscription services baked in, too.)
Interesting.
I agree that voting in contrarian ways 'safely' is Kayfabe behavior at best.
I also wonder where his wife dying falls on the timeline relative to these? (July 2024 was her passing, do you have dates/sources for the others?)
I ask because there's a possibility that her safety was their leash on him, and he's a loose cannon/liability to the deep-state at this point; people willing to be a monkey-wrench/spoiler should be offered at least token support if they're willing to go against the grain to kill spending/raise AIPAC awareness/etc.
The only thing Putin has to lose is more of his men in the course of the war, but I'd guess the majority of Russian soldiers and civilians believe the fight is worth it at this point. Russia will whoop on Ukraine some more and eventually there won't be anything to negotiate with.
Why wouldn't whatever peace the West eventually signs be treated like the Minsk Accords-- as time to prepare arms against Russia? Putin has every reason to believe that a ceasefire (like the Trump is demanding as a precondition to negotiations) would be used to solidify the crumbling UA military position. He loses even more lives if he lets up and resistance stiffens, so why would he ever let up?
I mentioned Trump, but Zelenskyy (the other party who can negotiate) is widely hated within UA for both his conscription and his confiscation of Ukrainian Orthodox churches. Remember that the UA secret police are out in force and elections are off the table. "Defender of the Free World" he ain't.
What can the NATO proxy UA offer at the table, beyond unconditional surrender? Even the USA has nothing constructive to add because our government cannot be trusted to stand by its word. Look at the 1990 ideas of NATO expansion the (then) USSR was fed: https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early and tell me why Russia should trust ANYTHING the west has to say?
Trump being a possible exception, the West has been agreement-incapable for decades and Russia turning East to join hands with China is a sign of things to come.
Lindsey will at least say, "The left has gone too far."
The problem is that when you try to point out where & how, he becomes deaf & mute. He is a 90s Liberal to the bone, which is to say he's a pinko academic. He names the beast well, but cannot prescribe remedies because he sees liberalism as an end-goal rather than the sliding point within the Overton window that it is.
Sinfest is very interesting, if only because the artist is so openly vocal on political issues. He's gone through a woke (gf?) arc, and come out the other side willing to be more based than is palatable to the mass market.
I haven't followed him in years, but this is a good reminder that his work exists.
Right-- so the 'past the rubicon' reality further stresses the individual after irreversible surgical 'affirmation' of their delusion after the placebo effect fades.
Triumphant euphoria! Then when the 'stunning & brave' seal clapping stops, the victims of Trans ideology are left alone looking at their body in the mirror. There can be no reconciliation with with what they have become. The divide between their lived reality and the delusion (and the lies about transition they were sold) has become larger and thus the outcomes track worse than dysphoric people not undergoing surgical intervention.
What a nightmare! History will look back at Trans surgery for dysphoria as the equivalent of lobotomy to treat schizophrenia.
Time to whip out Hitchen's Razor, then. lol
a bad release is better than no release at all.
Concord begs to differ, but that's the utmost 1% of woke retardery.
The cynic in me says that, even there-- the 'right' people drew paychecks from Sony, therefore Concord succeeded as a money laundering operation even while failing as a video game
