  • I can’t believe it?! The people behind Trump mobile have an impeccable reputation, they are honest people that always put the need of other people first.

    I am shocked that anyone could even imagine they wouldn’t deliver exactly as promised. AFAIK their dad is even president of the United states of America. They couldn’t possible do anything wrong, because it would reflect badly on their father, and even United states as a whole.

    So please stop these insane completely baseless accusations, as if the whole family is corrupt.
    In what country would a majority of people vote for a President from a family where this would be possible?

    /s
    I’m putting it there as a formality, not because i expect it’s actually needed.





  • I’m not sure what you mean? It has been the trajectory led mostly by the Republicans for decades.
    Gerrymandering, illegal surveillance by agencies and even the police, secret laws upheld in secret courts overseen by a tight group of political leaders that are used to silence the press. Sounds like a conspiracy, except Obama admitted it, and even called it a good balance! The Republican rigging of the supreme court.

    But maybe you mean it has dropped more?
    Because I think it has because of Trump, and I also think the score of 8.22 that places it as a full democracy is moronic, considering it’s a 2 party system with fpp voting. And USA has the highest number of prisoners, and they are not allowed to vote.
    Nixon actively made cannabis illegal to silence the peace movement. And it has been used since to also oppress minorities.

    The score has been consistently way to high.






  • But it’s OK because Israel is a democracy. /s

    It’s funny how rare this argument has become, a few years ago politicians used it all the time, as if it was some kind of free pass to genocide, war crimes and discrimination.

    Just remember that “But it’s a democracy”, is not an argument for anything. USA is also a democracy, but that does not in any way justify their attacks on Iran either, or their blockade of Cuba, or all the dozens of other things they are doing that are against international law.


  • LOL 😋 I live in Denmark a country that is mostly flat, our highest “mountain” is a hill you can “climb” in half an hour.
    And I live in the flattest part of the country. I just recently figured out that to brake without the regenerative braking, I have to put the car in Neutral. Regenerative breaking does not have a setting to disable it.

    I think the blinker stalk may have become law here in EU, the directive for the door handles are AFAIK passed, but has a grace period, so China came first with making the door handles illegal, passing the law later, but enforcing it sooner. Kudos to China on that one.

    I think in USA the department to make these regulations was closed by Elon Musk, in a very legal and very beautiful cooperation between government and private efficiency, as Trump would probably put it. 🤡







  • 😋

    True, but here (Denmark) it is literally illegal to sell anything but pure fruit juice as juice, if it is made from concentrate it has to be labelled clearly, and it is only allowed to ad the amount of water that was removed.

    If it has added sugar it is called Nektar.

    If it has artificial flavors it is called Saft. Saft can also have added sugar. Saft also means Juice, English does not AFAIK have the words to distinguish between pure juice and flavored and sweetened juice.

    IDK the rules in other EU countries, but my guess is that they are similar, but localized depending on language.


  • The breaks is the same for all EV’s though. So there is no reason for Tesla brakes to rust more than other brands.
    Here Tesla recommend service at 4 years, IDK how it is after that first service. But that coincide with the first mandatory safety check. Most brands have biannual intervals, which coincide with the safety checks being biannual after the first one.

    I bet most Tesla users have their car serviced before the mandatory safety check, because the car warranty also end after 4 years. So it would be pretty stupid not to.
    So my guess is that the Tesla service checks are shit too.

    It is also remarkable that Tesla has 2 design features that are about to become illegal, the blinkers on the steering wheel, and the flux door handles because they don’t work for emergencies.

    Tesla is simply not designing and building with safety in mind as much as other car makers.

    So yes a shitshow indeed.
