another head scratcher/gut churner/soul sighing show. it's way over time to get some patrols on the 'information highway'. the web of lies/undue social influence/bias reporting/echo chambers and general nastiness needs some lines of (lack of a better word) decency that nary be crossed.
it's been done before.
'fire in a crowed theater' put some measurement on of the definition of 'free speech'. there is a line where 'free speech' fails to be freedom & becomes the dungeons of despair.
it's a tough subject to gauge, but do trust caring* people can draw a 'line-in-the-sand' so young people don't kill themselves over cyber bulling. or hyper-partisan yodels don't attack random INNOCENT people. or where honesty and a love of variable facts becomes a touchstone.
it needs to happen.
this would be the (past) time to get all types together and hammer out some guidelines. Maybe, use existing laws. change the 230(#?) shield limits. AI monitoring. or have civil suits to sue, sue, and sue until the posting of anything that comes into a person's head, meets a reality check.
not against the exchange of ideas, challenges of the norms, or any free speech of merit (or even some of dubious value) -but just getting us out of the muck of the 'muddy minimum-maintenance roadway of disinformation'.
peace.


*extend that to all of the 'sick-of-this-s*it' folk)

From the F-150 warranty:

"misuse of the vehicle, such a driving over curbs, overloading, racing or using the vehicle as a permanent stationary power source"

And right above that part it says it won't cover you driving through a car wash.

For the same wind and water environment exclusion take a look at page 18.

Performative outrage against non-issues is amazingly common these days, but maybe it's always been that way. I can just hear an old lady on Little House on the Prairie exclaiming "Oh my, well I never!"

The Pinto thing is total BS sensationalist stat mining. They include the guy that tried to blow himself up in the Cybertruck in Vegas as someone who was killed by the truck. Really?

The parts thing only happens when vehicles and replacement parts are under warranty. @newtboy If you can find the source showing the warranty is voided driving a Cybertruck in the grass then I'll find the same language in the warranty docs for Fords.

This stuff is funny and Tesla doesn't deserve any leeway since their CEO has apparently gone"fact free" lately, but pushing easy to discredit "facts" seems like it distracts from the real issues with these vehicles and the company as a whole.

The biggest problem with Tesla in my mind is their over-promising and shitty service. I'm not sure how companies get away with promising stuff that isn't available yet but it seems like it is getting more common.

To me it looks like their service problems are a mix of 3 factors.
1. Not enough replacement parts at the ready
2. Service centers are understaffed because of the principal of running at below expected need until shit breaks. Only then can you apply more resources.
3. Service centers were designed to work efficiently but are run by a bunch of idiots that came from other manufacturer service centers so they want to do it "their way" instead of following the efficient hands off model that was originally planned.

Reports say we, the taxpayers, paid between $18 and $20 million dollars for this fiasco, just so little Donny could get in on the big show and not be ignored all day (which obviously turned out terribly)….but there’s not a dime left for children’s cancer trials already underway…sorry kids, you’re going to die.

Where’s doge? Why hasn’t Donny been put on permanent leave, or offered a buyout to go home? That’s definitely serious “waste and fraud”, especially since he’s also spent $10 million tax dollars golfing already….on track for over $170 million this year on golf alone and going up.

Yes, the umbilical brothers are really good. I'd never heard of them.

The 'reaction' part adds nothing, though, and only takes away by saying wow (and taking views off the original poster). It's like someone finally made a way of making laugh tracks much much worse while costing the show far far more.

Rant over. Checking out more Umbilical Brothers to relax.

Holy crap! Just to drive home the unbelievable incompetence of this administration, our eggs are up to $15 a dozen and rising (3 times their pre-felon cost), in Mexico, a dozen eggs is well under $2!
Expect all food to be similarly overpriced. Just because the tariffs were dropped (except from China) doesn’t mean the trade war is over…Mexico, Canada, and China have all curtailed their orders from the US severely without tariffs. Canada pulled all US alcohol off the shelves, and aren’t keen on putting it back.
Also, thousands were murdered because he suspended funding for experimental medical trials, meaning thousands are in the middle of treatments for deadly diseases which drives medical advancements, many with devices implanted, all of which were just abandoned to die.
And, eggs are so expensive that they are now being hijacked by the truckload, and RFK jr 1) skipped the transition meeting so has no clue what’s happening and 2) doesn’t believe in pandemics so has no plan to address bird flu or any other emerging disease or food shortage.
And we now know why Elon shut down USAID…not because they were wasteful or leftists, Ivanka used millions in USAID herself, they were investigating his Starlink contracts in Ukraine (like overcharging and how he shut them down at critical times to help Russia in the war), so had to close.
Also, he and his subordinate the felon rehired the active proud racist Nazi that quit when he was outed, because they both are Nazis themselves. Time for instigating that Indian hate he advocates against race traitor Vance and his brown family.

yeah, something seems... "off".
My guess is it was staged.
like why didn't the person filming it just stay with her on that corner?
or the chances of 3 babies all being asleep and not crying while being hauled around in the Nevada afternoon or being put into minivan?
Also (@2:44) that car seat didn't have the seat belt going *over* the seat (obviously she didn't have a seat-base with her, and the "samaritan" wouldn't have had a matching base) so the only way to belt an infant car seat is to go up over the baby's legs (the seat has notches for that purpose)

So maybe a better video title would be "Aspiring Actress with 3 Car Seats Helps YouTuber Harvest Likes and Views"

Inflation already exploding maybe double digits already. Suddenly maga says “inflation is patriotic”

Gas prices are spiking. Grocery prices spiking double digits, eggs $12! Stock market crashing. China’s international trade pact has gained a dozen (40) nations with all central and South America in talks while they consider trade war with America while switching from using the dollar to using the yuan.

Unemployment exploding unbelievably. Crops rotting in fields because there’s no one to harvest them. Hiring frozen.

Ukraine war still in full effect, with 6 more on the horizon thanks to threats.

We quit the WHO and closed our pandemic response team (again) and forced all public health agencies to stop communicating with the public right as bird flu is emerging as a pandemic.

Child pornographers, the biggest/most prolific drug dealer ever in America who assassinated his rivals, and over 1500 more violent cop killing thugs released from prison to reek havoc across America, many already rearrested for violent armed crimes, one got in a shootout with police and died.

Just 8 days in, and the nation is completely crumbling, the rule of law gone, the economy in freefall, a pandemic starting. The president is on vacation.

If you voted for this and you love America, you should eat your gun.

Still going….



New fires today

….And the Trump shit coin has dropped another 35% in one day, taking tens of billions more out of his supporters pockets and transferring it to himself (he owns 90% with no cash investment, and is the only winner).
$melania (yes, her shit coin is Smelania) also dropped over 60% since it’s inception days ago.

The crypto market as a whole is tanking largely because of this. The idiots believed Trump planned to regulate and solidify the cryptocurrency market but now see it was another grift only meant to trick them into investing in his garbage, and are suddenly realizing it’s all a huge scam controlled by billionaires to make themselves more money. Thousands of Trumptards have lost everything already just days in, right after voting to get rid of social safety nets and medical cost savings. Whodathunkit?!

Walt Disney must be rolling over in his grave.

The Palisades Fire has exploded to more than 19,000 acres with 6% containment as of early Friday morning. The fast-moving Eaton Fire is at 13,000 acres and 0% contained. The Hurst Fire is at least 771 acres and 37% contained, while the newer Kenneth Fire is at 1,000 acres and is 35% contained.
Estimates are $50-$60 billion in losses with over $10 billion in homes lost so far and rising. Winds are forecast to drop slightly tomorrow but rise again significantly on Sunday.

Drone footage of some aftermath.

Last night there were 6 major fires in LA burning well over 20000 acres of the most valuable real estate in America, including ocean front Malibu where minimum home prices are in the tens of millions.

Already estimated as over $10 billion in INSURED losses, with 75mph winds forecast for Thursday.

Still more still unreported gifts and trips have been uncovered by a Democrat led senate investigation … which said “the value, extravagance, and number of gifts Thomas accepted (and didn’t report or pay taxes on) has no parallel in modern history.” Now we’ll over $5 million in bribes from billionaires with cases before his court have been uncovered, all of which he made every possible attempt to hide instead of following the law and reporting them…and there is more.
