What do you think about the problems some are having with panels coming off?

Yea the stock is insane, it'll be interesting to see where it goes.

Yea, I don't know where the idea that Tesla is the "Best EV" comes from. Hype? Tesla has no where near the quality or standards of other car manufacturers. That makes sense because they are so new.

It's not splitting hairs, you are the only one splitting hairs here.

The vox article clearly shows that they were trying to recruit, even though they say they aren't. It's not a grand conspiracy but it's the same as the military using Hollywood for recruiting.

OK, "raising awareness" of what, and for what reason?

It's clearly for recruiting purposes.

For sure, no worries. It's really hard to decipher what is and isn't a reliable source sometimes. I spend a lot of time on this topic so I know a lot of the usual ones to watch out for.

Well they are using the Fraser Institute, it's a right wing think tank that aims to take away things like universal care in favour of private care. So, I wouldn't trust it.

The Fraser Institute is not a reliable source, it's a right wing think tank.

Right in the article:

"Trudeau said the new border controls will not apply to trade and commerce in order to keep Canada's supply chain open."

The US seems to have a lot of community cases, so if they don't close that border as well it won't make much of a difference.

"Then there will be very very few pedestals"

And? Why does that matter to you?

"I'm just trying to point out that using today's "acceptable" to judge the past will devalue everything that's ever been accomplished"

I disagree, even in the time of the Founding Fathers it was common knowledge that slavery was bad, they just didn't care. Is that not wrong?

And in this case, clearly Asimov knew that what he was doing was wrong. We can call out what these figures did as being wrong, while also acknowledging the work that they have done.

You're writing this as if courts and justice systems are perfect, when they often fail women, and victims of sexual assault.

Many things in the past have been legal that shouldn't have been. And many people have gotten away with wrong things, like Asimov.

So you think we should ignore the historical truth, the people he harmed? I absolutely disagree.

We can't even talk about the harms people caused without "mobs" getting mad about the conversation.

Historical works to a point. There were people who obviously knew that slavery was bad back then. It's more controversial to think that everyone thought it was OK.

Some of us actually do care, and we should actually care about this. Don't put people up on pedestals that don't deserve it.

People on this site really don't know anything about history. And if you try to show them, they just ignore you. There are lots of libertarian tech bros on this site.

> or through NGOs merely shipping Africans into Europe without much of a plan and then shrugging their shoulders when problems arise

What, exactly, are you trying to say here?

> The gist of the so called environmentalists is (factually, these really are their proposals when you look at their numbers): ok USA and EU, you have to urgently stop your emissions, even if that means total economic breakdown. China and specially India, it's ok you can continue your emissions, and increase then by even more than the all 1st world will cut theirs (even if they cut it to 0), that's just fine since your are entitled to it because you didn't do it in the past.

No, those are not factual. It's a strawman.

Neither of you have legitimate arguments, and are both in fact strawmanning your "opposition". I'd suggest actually reading the IPCC report if you haven't yet, as it's all of our future.

Who could have possibly predicted that the climate affects a lot of the planet.

They, really are not "a curious bunch of people". I'm calling it a weird implication because it's reductionist and kind of fascistic to try to write off huge groups of people as being inherently different.

There was a legitimate reason for that. And calling any group "a curious bunch of people" has weird implications.

If you haven't checked out mountain biking youtube before I highly recommend it!

Mining, and oil are still two very massive industries. The developing world suffers due to the greed of the "West".

Unfortunately the people who will and are suffering from this, are the ones who did not cause these problems in the first place.

Found this out not long ago on my own. Wish I would have known link was so bad before I tried it.

Hitler was a capitalist, as was nazi germany.

Elon Musk is not a great person, and he has made terrible choices, there is nothing to defend about either of them.

Looks like it happens every December, going to have to make it to one of these!

Some people know more about what is going on, like SA war in Yemen.

Yep, and it has happened in the past, and as long as we have it, it will in the future.

It's also why the death penalty is wrong.
