Since it’s a Russian ship, I’d like to point out that that is very typical.

Nope, only people with functioning brains.

Good luck with that ya fucking USAians.

Root cause analysis determined that the reason for the incident was that it was a ship built in Russia.

Unless I have personally desoldered the modem chip I will not trust any car newer than 2016.

And the USA into Iran.

I can’t wait for the 99.99% to continue to do absolutely nothing about it.

Woke is a brilliant and evil political manipulation tool. As a conservative politician, you never have to state a position on any topic anymore. You just say you’re against all the woke stuff and your captive idiots just assume you agree with them. They hear exactly what they want to hear.

The unemployed auto sector worker believes “woke” means Chinese EVs.

The bigots believe “woke” means allowing gay people to exist.

The wealthy believe “woke” means making rich people like them actually pay taxes.

It’s a shortcut around actually saying anything of substance. You can get two people whose agendas are completely opposed to both believe that you are on their side because they both accept that “woke” means the thing they hate. And since you just said that you hate “woke”, then you hate the same thing they do so they will support you through anything now.

There’s nothing special about EVs in this regard. Internal combustion vehicles do the same thing.

Keep this in mind every time you hear someone say that something is “to protect the children.”

You know what is incredibly easy to do to protect the children? Don’t fucking pepper spray and tear gas them. It’s so easy to do that I’ve been doing it my entire life without even trying.

Yep, not in the lifetime of any person currently living.

Sowing trust in a violent, repressive, fascist regime is a far worse idea.

Ah, no worries then. We all know that police departments in the USA are absolutely above reproach and are impossible to influence politically.

A corrupt Duterte? I’m shocked!

Exactly - no USA stats are trustworthy in any context.

No statistics provided by any part of any government in the USA are reliable, and should not be believed in any context.

Endo on its own, agreed, is not indicative of speed. Crossing most of a 4-lane intersection in 3 frames (1/10th of a second) indicates insane speed.

The endo indicates “oh shit, I screwed up and am panic braking, and also I am bad enough at riding a motorcycle that I can’t manage my braking.”

I’ve seen the video of the event posted elsewhere. He was going insanely fast, as should not surprise anyone. He crossed half the intersection in three frames, and was so hard on the brakes already he was in a deep endo before slamming into the car. He was probably approaching that intersection well in excess of 100km/h. 150 would not surprise me. As far as the car turning was concerned, the intersection was clear and it was safe to make the turn. An invisible idiot-rocket coming your way at more than twice the expected speed is not something the driver could, or should, anticipate.

This should serve as a powerful reminder that nobody in the world, under any circumstances, should ever assist USA troops.
