You should be immediately suspicious of anyone who tries to convince you to hate other trans people.

been seeing some really crazy hate this year, so i wanna spell something out:

ALL trans folks are loved and welcomed in my version of pride: man, woman, enby, or any other variety. pre-transitioned, post-transitioned, never will transition. guys who love their boobs, guys who want to breastfeed, girls who love their deep voice, girls who like their facial hair, folks who just want a smorgasbord of what feels right to them and don't give a shit what you think about them.

whoever you are, however you identify with gender, you are valid and deserve the same respect as the rest of the trans community. this has always been true, but right now, especially in this environment, this needs to be said.

we are all in this together

Opinion on electric cars. All I know about them is that when I was growing up I saw everyone worshipping them as a step further into making solarpunk reaI but I have 0 idea if they're currently on their way to becoming actually affordable or if they're actually good. Just asking the nearest marxist car connoisseur

so i cant really tell you much about specific models or what their specs are because to be honest EVs just dont really interest me very much but i can get into some issues they have as a whole

i do think eventually we are going to switch to EVs like as a society. there might be the odd enthusiast car here and there that will stay IC but i think most commuter cars are gonna be EVs pretty soon.

however as it stands, they aren't really a viable solution for people in a lot of places. i cannot vouch for how it is everywhere, but in the US our infrastructure simply is not set up for it. at-home charging, for example, is not an option for a lot of people here and I'm sure the same is true in a lot of countries.

there's also the fact that a lot of EVs have some pretty serious problems. the elephant in the room being that lithium-ion battery fires are extremely difficult to put out and like to spontaneously reignite hours later.

chinese EVs are miles ahead of pretty much anyone else and several of them do not use lithium-ion batteries. this means they are less likely to run into the ol "fire that is immune to firemen" problem. this is very promising! but unfortunately we don't get chinese evs here in the US (thanks trump!) and you better believe that musk will fight tooth and nail to keep it that way for as long as possible. there's also the toyota mirai which is hydrogen powered but charging stations for these are incredibly difficult to find and they are expensive as hell to fill up.

so to answer your question, are they good? some of them are. are they on their way to being more affordable? maybe! but they've still got a long way to go. i suspect it'll be at least another decade before they are truly affordable and an actual feasible option. and even then it would vary from place to place.

Something that was neglected to be mentioned in this response was that electric cars are only an improvement in terms of how they're powered and their emissions.

Electric cars, for the most part, inherit pretty much all of the actual problems with cars: needing massive space to be dedicated to their infrastructure that's only partially multipurpose (trucks and motorcycles can use it, but that's all transportation), primarily having a usecase for individuals such as families which leads to events like congestion, and the expectation that people will have cars still produces bad city design that is at best uncomfortable to walk or at worst actively hostile to pedestrians.

Any actual improvements on the front of EVs is modernization of preexisting technologies that can make smaller vehicles more viable so large swathes of lands aren't needed for roads, or to upgrade services such as trains so they can more easily cope with passenger counts. I don't have numbers but I feel like a shift to all EVs under the current way of cars being used in the mainstream would be worse environmentally than a restructuring around public transit with only fossil fuels, just because of how wasteful private transport is and how harmful it is to urban planning and living.

your hottest mutual is always yapping about some obscure dogshit show that nobody cares about or obsessing over formula 1 or some bullshit

im literally always saying this

its the year 2013 and you can 3dprint a dildo that is also a bong and Dennys has a tumblr and most phones have TWO cameras now, one on the front and one on the back and there is a nonzero chance that we will have a reality show set in space within 5 years.

it appears that gentle death still stands sentinel at the end of our lives and casts a shadow back over us as if he were interposed between us and a fantastic radiance but OTOH crowdsourcing has made it incredibly easy to buy a “minimalist wallet” made of aircraft-grade aluminium weave and hey

dennys has a tumblr, so you can keep up with dennys, and new dennys developments, in realtime

the most occidentalist cnovel I ever binged via MTL was about a chinese guy reincarnating into europe right before the black plague & teaching the savage europeans how to cook food and do agriculture and industry properly and inventing an innoculation for the plague and he wound up gay marrying the sexy young pope & collecting a really unreasonable number of magical animal companions along the way, including a tiger. the tiger's introduction led to my favorite author's note in the following chapter, which was basically "I've been informed Europe doesn't have tigers but I don't really give a fuck" ... that was kind of charming.

Feminist criticism of men's behavior comes from the idea that gender is a social construct, that men are not inherently evil and their behavior can change. If men couldn't change, the criticism would be pointless.

It is not necessary for every feminist statement to include a 'not all men do this' disclaimer. The criticism itself already expresses the possibility that men could choose not to behave in this way.

Unless someone states that men's behavior can't change or that there is inherent evil in being a man, accusing a feminist of 'manhating' because she criticizes men is usually nothing but an attempt to distract from the content of the criticism itself.

We should recognize such an obvious attempt at derailment for what it is and move on.

they just discovered the second gender

one of the funnier incidents of me assuming someone knew a meme irl was when a new coworker was talking about some woman who got arrested for tax fraud and I went "God forbid women do anything" and he got scared and thought I was accusing him of being sexist, so he started apologizing and saying how tax fraud isn't even bad, actually.
