This was always kind of the Achilles heel. If EV is more expensive to buy and maintain, tons of people will just buy an ICE car instead. Some are civic-minded and will buy EV because of the environment, or because they like the concept, but the vast majority of people will just go for the cheaper option.

I don't know why you're being down voted just for providing context.

It's ok, this is an ancient Photoshop job. The real car only had the "OP" and the licence plate.

Depending on where you are in the world, same thing.

Read a bit further down. The prosecution recommended the probation and that he not have to register as a sex offender, as part of the plea deal. IANAL though, I didn't know if this was a bench trial or if judges can override plea deals.

I know how this is supposed to work, but my brain just refuses to cooperate.

So you just make a thousand different corporations to get around that.

"should" doesn't mean a damned thing any more.

"some reason"

Pretty sure we know what that reason is

Right, because the first thing I do when having a personal emergency is run outside, take my flag down, flip it upside down, then hang it back up.

He didn't circumnavigate the need, he circumvented the need.

It's even more simplistically dismissed when you consider that nothing is 100% effective. You could just as easily say condoms don't work because you used one and got the girl pregnant anyway, or your seatbelt malfunctioned so seatbelts don't work.

Right, like the common photophobia, which doesn't mean fear of light, it means a strong intolerance to light.

I keep trying to tell my friends this. Nothing changes if you can't physically stop it from happening. The community outage in San Diego recently was a start, at least.

It's a solid pull of an old meme and the post deserves to be dragged up from the negatives.

My heart hopes you're right, my head says probably not.

Impeachment is pointless without the votes to convict.

I want him gone too, but it's just a waste of time with the current composition of Congress.

In a way, they can. If you graduate with honors (cum laude or higher) this will be on your diploma and generally signifies a GPA of 3.5 and up.

That's because only the conviction carries weight, and conviction will never happen.

They aren't responding to you, an intern or automated system is.

Still is, in Sanskrit and some Native American tribes.

Agreed. These are great, positive, affirmational statements (and if my man is actually from Baltimore like me, his kids are gonna need that in the public school system there) but in a vacuum this just leads to narcissism and needlessly challenging authority for every minor thing. Context is important.

Act how? What exactly do you want us to do?

It's definitely horse shit, because as someone who graduated college 30 years ago, there definitely were students who fucked off and didn't want to learn. Instead of being glued to tiktok they were playing Frisbee on the quad and smoking pot.

Yeah I guarantee this person's English is better than my whatever their native tongue is.
