Got a pair like that from Costco. Still like new 2 years later and a lot of biking.

Boos don’t have feet. Ipso facto Kirby is just round, not a ghost.

I generally agree that science reporting treats everyone like children, but I really don’t have a problem with this analogy. Stars are the only naturally occurring fusion we have to observe and compare it to. To me that makes sense.

Another vote for probably still worth it. My spouse and I go there for paper goods, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, noodle bowls and dog treats, along with some nuts and office supplies, still more than covers the cost of the membership. Also, I always get the $1.50 hot dog and drink, you just can’t beat that.

What did they do to you?

" probably when its flying away from the missile launcher and is thus showing its big hot ass… "

Stupid, sexy joint strike fighter.

Because they’re not magically taking away his stock shares. If Tesla succeeds so does Musk, no matter what position he holds. Nothing changes when oligarchs who will happily take food out of children’s mouths to enrich themselves and send US citizen children with Cancer away never suffer any consequences.

And that’s BEFORE we talk about the fact that Tesla cars suck ass now compared to similar segments from competitors. They’re a net negative in the industry and in their influence on humanity. EVs are going to continue to take up more market share worldwide without them.

If this functions to poll users broadly, then count another one for NOT federating. I came to Lemmy to not have my feed dominated by a tsunami of corporate junk curated by one of the worst influences in modern society. And if the counter argument is that I can block their content, then you can go join threads. I have no desire to be on a service where the majority of other users are constanly being fed crap from Meta and then interacting here, even if I can’t see the initial influence. I can go elsewhere, sure, and will if they federate, but I like it so far and would rather not. But consider, at least, the kind of thing .world will become if the only people here are people who think, “Hey, maybe Zuck’s new project won’t be so bad!”

Yes! I wonder how a company working with Cambridge analytica to start a war, and influence elections worldwide, who sold children’s personal information illegaly in EU, and gleefully partcipates in the Prism surveillance program, would be? 🤔 I mean it’s not like they just gutted their staff trying to deal with misinformation for the 24 election. We simply can’t predict how they might behave!
