All I was trying to find out is: what alternative car do you think people SHOULD buy. I'm not trying to stop you. I'm trying to find a better alternative.

And that is true for both, ICE vehicles (internal combustion engine) and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). I do not think that boycotting Tesla is doing anything to stop either from hurting more people unfortunately.

And you don't fight fascism by taking out Tesla... You help the oil and gas industry. You help legacy car manufacturers to roll back EV efforts. Taking out Tesla would be one of the worst things you could do for the environment. And I don't think it would put a dent in fascist tendencies... :(

But it's so much more complicated. Teslas are one of the few cars that can actually make a positive difference. I do understand your point. I think it comes from a very good place in your heart. But a friend just bought a gasoline car because Elon is a racist and I don't think that's helpful either.

But what if all alternatives are even worse? Won't that make the world an even more horrible place? Isn't that something you need to consider in a boycott?
Boycotting all cars? Yes. But that's not what you are achieving or even trying to achieve. You are singling out one brand.

You still haven't answered my question tho. What product SHOULD people buy?

But what are you for then? The car isn't fascist. The employees aren't racist. The CEO is. But most of Elon's wealth is in SpaceX. Fighting against affordable electric cars isn't great if you can't point people towards an alternative product. So my question stands: what are you for?

Can't tell if that's supposed to be satire or not. 🙃 Anyways: don't yell people what to be against. Tell them what to be for. What car should they buy to help fight climate change? Rivian and Lucid aren't affordable yet. EVs from other brands support companies that mainly sell ICE vehicles. 🥴

Launch and landing. With whatever was left of that burning flap. ♥️

Amazing achievement. 🤯 The booster lost an engine. The ship's butt exploded. Yet both had a soft splashdown right on target. 🤩

@neuroverse-tni.bsky.social Hey :) great panel at ST:ORL! Do you think you would be able to share the NASA funding cut slides? That was a very impactful way to present this!

Support the LISA Mission – Save NASA Science Funding Contact your members of Congress and urge them to restore funding for NASA’s next flagship astrophysics mission: the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).

The proposed NASA budget cuts threaten the U.S. contribution to the most amazing space telescope of our generation: 3 satellites shooting lasers at each other to detect supermassive #BlackHoles at the edge of the observable universe to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos.

Amazing shot mate! ♥️ Such a good boy!!

Today, after hours of work, the @spacetomato.bsky.social Garden Interstellar Initiative was able to initiate the laser firing protocol!! 🤯 What a sight. No more need for Star Wars: we have a space lasers at home now!

That was awesome - thanks @spacetomato.bsky.social Garden Interstellar Initiative! 🍅

They did edit their FAQ wording, blades will be purchasable in game this summer. That's not good enough, but at least they are talking at headquarters. 🫠 My main worry is not necessary selling early access, but selling ship improvements for money at all. I thought that's what crafting was for.

🤣🤣🤣

But it wasn't Sinners. And it took away my opportunity to watch Sinners in 70mm. Disney pushed Sinners out of all IMAXs. 😭 ... yes, it's coming back on the 15th, but all twenty or so 70mm shows in my area are already fully sold out. And I blame this good-ish Marvel movie for it. ;)

Universal Studios Hollywood #FanFestNights had two #StarTrek #TNG chairs on display. The original screen-used recreation from "Picard", and the newly upholstered 27-year-old "Star Trek: The Experience" chair, from the Hilton in Las Vegas! @gaghyogi49.bsky.social

What's the obelisk on that shrine? 👀

Just saying your comment sounded 110% like a bot 🤓

I don't think you are playing with AI. But you are probably played with. 🤷‍♂️

I was playing a bit with OpenAI's new 4o IG to create some retro-futuristic tourism posters. Pretty impressive how far Star Citizen and GenAI have come in just a few years. 🫠

I'm getting out of this conversation. Not entirely convinced you are not a bot actually. 😵‍💫

Starlink - Wikipedia

The source you are unable to find is called "Wikipedia" 🤓
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlin....
Starlink IS profitable. Not in the future. Now. And it's providing service to 5 million people who would not have internet otherwise.

I know (well, I hope) you are coming from a good place. It seems like you wanna be on the right side of history. But sharing conspiracy theories and bad faith arguments is making you look exactly like the MAGA idiots. Be better. Engage with facts. See the world in its complexity.

Pivoting into a 3 year old video that explains to me how Starlink will fail is going to convince me. Now that 3 years later Starlink has 5 million customers and 8 billion dollars in revenue. 🤣

Please think before you share outdated propaganda ... :/

It's also insanely weird how you label an entire company that does good work and tries to change the world for the better after the political ambitions of the majority shareholder/CEO. It's a publicly traded company. It's not owned by Elon. Shareholders need to fire him. But Tesla needs to succeed.

There are no other affordable/available EV only brands. Rivian/Lucid high priced luxury. All others sell mainly gasoline cars and would love to stop EV production. That leaves China (Polestar, BYD etc). If US/Europe wants a sustainable future, they still need Tesla. A shame, but true nevertheless.

What support is not done? (I don't understand your last sentence)
What I'm trying to say: ethical consumption in end stage capitalism is impossible. For some products it's easier, like Bluesky vs X. For cars it's way more complicated: without Tesla, EVs (outside of China) are dead. And that's bad.
