  • You stopped being a bad person when you grew sufficient empathy to feel bad about what you did.

    But your debt is not paid.

    Consider the bad person you no longer are as though they were a dependent in your charge. Everything they did is, rightly, an embarrassment of who you presently are.

    You will continue to be a good person as long as you work to make up for the things that your past self did.

    Not out of guilt, though:
    Out of gratitude that you’re no longer that person.










  • EVs have no gears

    GOOD THING THESE AREN’T GEARS THEN, FUCKO
    THEY’RE MODE SELECTIONS

    EVs do, in fact, Park.
    EVs can, in fact, Reverse.
    EVs must, in fact, need to be capable of rolling free (Neutral) and it would be BETTER if you could do that by disconnecting the drive train to eliminate the risk of the “regenerative braking” system overloading its electrical system and making the battery explode.
    EVs furthermore OBVIOUSLY Drive.

    “Low” in the traditional sense is clearly not necessary, obviously, but it could be nice to have a mode selection for what people have sometimes described as “single pedal driving” where regeneration is configured so aggressively that letting up on the accelerator pedal will cause the car to decelerate rapidly without the need to touch the brake pedal.




  • Go east.

    The fascists will have a harder time operating in New England. There are more of us here. We can build our bastions and prepare to defend ourselves and our kin.

    A critical mass of population will be necessary to get anything done, no matter what shape any such endeavors may take. Deprive neglectful municipalities, regions, and states of your productivity. Let them drown in their own incompetent excrement.

    Weigh these options:

    If you stay, everyone who loves you will lose you PERMANENTLY when the fascists isolate you and drag you away.

    If you come to New England, everyone who loves you may AT LEAST still see you again someday, and you might actually stand a fighting chance shoulder to shoulder with us.
