Remember that non electric cars are still dangerous too. Just think about how often you see a wreck that has cops, firetrucks, and cops all around it. That isn’t going to make the same level of national attention as an electric car burning would get.

There are a lot of reasons WHY news agencies disproportunatly show the downsides of green energy, and I’m hardly scratching the surface, but here’s my personal reasoning:
News sites like to over dramatize green energy dangers as they are funded by fossil fuel companies (ads). Theres a large amount of disinformation that they misleadingly tell people, take for example birds running Into windmills is something a LARGE amount of people know and think is an issue. However, statistically fossil fuels cause ~50x (iirc) more bird deaths per unit of energy than windmills due to birds being an apex preditor. Another example is that nuclear waste is a big issue that will prevent nuclear energy from becoming superior when that issue was solved several decades ago.

Yes, elon sucks and some of his practices should be banned, but it’s still green energy and you can’t let it distract you from the benefits of all electric vehicles.

ooo I see. Thank you.

I’m sure this is really funny but… what?

EDIT: TLDR circa Decoy321 ‘Cureing’ is preserving food often by using smoke. ‘Cureing’ is also healing medical conditions.
Smoking CAUSES medical conditions, and it is the joke that curing heals when smoking hurts.

also everyone thinks this is a good idea imagining it at their penises height, ignoring the fact that human heights vary a TON and having a piss spot where short people can access and tall people can wash hands is impossible

also, knowing you are listening to the same exact tick tock that has been heard for centuries

except that awful default UI

where do you work?

Honk honk am goose, no braincells. Honk.

yo honk honk am here to help. Right click the back button to bring up a menu of several previous pages select when it was the search engine or whatever you used before. For Firefox. If you’re on chrome, you can cry. Honk honk, goose out.

hmm, seems like that has to have a name where you try to simplify something but you slowly realize why each piece was needed. Best I could find is “Chesterton’s Fence”.

There’s an unwritten rule in the remote Australian Outback. When traversing vast cattle farms on endless gravel roads, every once in a while, you might come across a seemingly random gate. The rule is to leave the gate as you found it. If it’s open, keep it that way. If it’s closed, shut it behind you. The reason is simple: You shouldn’t make assumptions about the gate’s purpose. That’s essentially the idea behind Chesterton’s Fence, a principle everyone in the business of enacting change should know.

I’d say the same thing about plumbers, who wants to sniff poop all day?

I think using 1 language is better than a bunch of different modern languages

installing minecraft mods are what got me to where I am today, I approach tech stuff with a “I’ll learn how to do this” (fiddling) rather than a “oh i’ll just call the PC guy” that my mom would do.

a stone tablet would be better tbh

I disagree for the term “tablet-fed” as it classifies anyone who used a tablet growing up and not specifically people who stayed within the cushy UX bounds. A lot of the future programmers & tech savvy people are going to have grown up from using tablets. Example, installing mods for minecraft PE when i was ~7 was my first experience actually doing something with tech.

I’m not far enough down the tech rabbithole to use Arch like a lot of people here, but compared to the rest of the population who can’t find powerpoint that’s right infront of their faces I’d be considered tech-savvy to them.

use a blacklist then

They do.

That’s a number you just made up.

you’re purposefully ignoring my point

my highschool has 1,500 kids and 2 IT guys. We have over 100 broken laptops rn. They’re overworked minimum wage workers like everyone else working at public schools. They don’t even look at what kids do. I’ve seen only 1 story in the 4 years I’ve been in HS where someone actually got in trouble for messing with stuff on the computer and it was because they were trying to brute force a network password they didn’t have access to.

kids looking at porn on their school laptops is why the tools exist, not for pedos. ‘Joe’ is 0.001% of people, not the majority!

I don’t think you understand just how locked down modern school laptops are. They don’t have access to Google snake, much less something like discord to chat with their friends. I semi-volenteer with my highschools library and I have to make tickets because some kids date/time was wrong and they didn’t have the ability to fix it. We don’t even have the ability to share PowerPoints anymore. The people that look on them are also the overworked IT guys that have to deal with these BS date/time tickets all day.
Teenagers are crafty and don’t have respect for the technology provided to them. I’ve seen (on multiple occasions) my peers beat the screen of the free laptop repeatedly if it’s too ‘slow’.
