Are the downvotes because we don’t like the prospect of WWIII? Don’t like Iran? Think this was disinformation rather than just a joke (critiquing the precariousness of the world right now)? Or do we support state-sponsored assignations?

Franz Ferdinand vibes.

Other manufacturers should have stuck with CCS.

They’ll fix it with a software update it’s not a real recall Teslas are different it’s not a real recall.

You can give a child ice cream for good behavior.

Reconciliation cannot work if a people is humiliated (even as the result of authoritarian leaders).

I’m not at all suggesting compromise with regard to occupied territories, I’m saying that Russians have been lead to believe they have been humiliated and betrayed by the West on countless occasions, and in the case that the illegal occupation of Ukrainian territories comes to and end, and the Putin regime falls, these assets could be returned to the Russian people to help rebuild a state hollowed out by its dictatorship. The West can support Ukraine with or without these funds.

We will have to embrace a fragile Russian people post-Putin. That, or create space for his authoritarian successors.

I appreciate why I have been downvoted above, but I’m simply asking what role these assets could play if returned with conditions to a post-Putin regime. I don’t consider that acquiescence, or compromising Ukrainian sovereignty.

This sounds great at first, but I do wonder how this could affect Europe’s standing with a post-Putin Russia. Frozen assets are a bargaining chip only so long as they are frozen and not permanently confiscated.

In the best case scenario Putin is gone and the EU can unfreeze these assets with conditions to be met by a new Russian administration. Worst case scenario, permanent confiscation shows Putin is the Russian elite’s only hope.

I’m not usually this pragmatic, so I’d be happy to be wrong about this.

Or just pay humans a living wage to do it today, no trial required.

Tesla’s on-wheel turn signal buttons are criminally bad.

What an extremely powerful argument. South Africa deserves a great deal of respect for its recent actions. Shame on the American and European powers whose complicity is absolute.

Choosing Musk and SpaceX for Artemis is likely NASAs biggest mistake.

ETO: European Treaty Organization. Cut the US out and problem solved.

No longer following imperialistic US foreign policy in the name of collective defense.

They are unsafe in every situation, not just on roundabouts.

Fuck monarchy, fuck royals, and fuck the politicians that use the crown as a part of their nationalist ideology.

I can’t wait for the NHTSB’s verdict on the Cybertruck.

I’m of the belief that there should be no religious symbols, paraphernalia, or practices in parliaments, but this act is abhorrent. The MP should be expelled.

Ultrasound AKA 5G mind waves.

Oh yes it will.

The moon belongs to China now.

Just stop permanently.
