Couldn’t organise a root in a brothel

Fair point about AI-generated comments. What’s your take on how this affects online discussions? Are we losing genuine interactions or gaining new insights?

Like what?

Korea has a few (Hyundai, Kia / same,same) but the only Japanese options are [P]HEV or the Toyota BZ4X which is… ugly… if it didn’t have a Toyota badge I don’t think they’d sell any of them. Few old Leafs still hanging in there, but if you want to go more than 100k at a time that’s them ruled out.

Can’t speak for other countries, but in Australia BYD is smashing it.

They represent incredible value for money and it’s not like we’ve got a local industry to protect - our conservative government made sure of that.

We’re already the world’s dumping ground for shit vehicles that don’t meet emissions standards, so having a non-Elon Musk EV alternative is something people are grabbing with both hands. We bought a BYD Seal Performance for $70k AUD a little over a year ago. For that money you get an incredibly comfortable sedan that does 500k on a charge, costs about $1 per 100km to run, and does 0-100 in 3.8 seconds.

EU vehicles are crazy overpriced by comparison, and because they try and position Mercedes / BMW / VW as luxury brands here the servicing and repair costs are through the roof. Part availability also sucks, with everything being a 6+ week lead time. We’ve owned European vehicles on several occasions and never again.

Yo momma so ugly, when she bought a Tesla the stock price went up

… This is a hilarious reference to the fact TSLA is a meme stock that makes no goddamn sense.

Why the fuck does Aussie zone block so many instances? You guys okay out there?

I’m not entirely sure we’re missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.

Nothing, cause I’d rather choose what to ignore on the fly rather than creating the same bubble I get stuck in on every other social media platform.

I wish I worked a job where my biggest concern was the difference between starting at 12:30 or 12:35.

I prefer the separation.

Its interesting to read 3 or 4 topics on the same thing (sometimes it’s even the same person posting to multiple instances) but getting wildly different “public opinion” depending on where it was posted and who ended up as the top comment (which tends to influence the rest of the comments).

Who cares? If your upvote or downvote or any other activity you deliberately perform on a public platform is something you’re embarrassed about and wouldn’t be willing to do in a face to face engagement you probably shouldn’t be doing it.

Dunno man, but if you find out let me know cause every time I see this bad boy I’m giggling like a schoolgirl no matter the situation

Here’s what my feed currently looks like:

I don’t know about propoganda from a political point of view, but the amount of casual animal cruelty on the platform is enough for me to leave it with a worse opinion of the country than I originally had.

Do you know how to tell if someone isn’t on Facebook?

Totally agree.

I don’t even bother clicking on video links on random instances. Most are broken, and the rest are incredibly slow.

Why do Shorts even exist? They’re just videos that are worse (no time bar, cropped to portrait, description and comments etc are even harder to read)

If she only uses the browser and texting, whats to learn that’s different?

I actually push my family members to buy Apple products because then I dont have to provide tech support but tbh if their usage is just tapping on like 3 different icons, there’s really no difference between the two from a UI point of view. And a mid-range Android phone that allows you to tape those 3 icons is probably 1/5th the cost of an iPhone.

… to Android

God I loved that book series.

God I hated that TV series.

Spondulix

That’s an odd name. I’d have called them dollarydoos.
