  • Your heart’s in the right place but this is bad advice.

    Teslas are still wickedly expensive to repair and there’s only the dealership who can do those repairs.

    And the parts break way too often, even parts that shouldn’t break ever, like the door handles that only Tesla can replace. The cost of that can apparently be over $1k. For a door handle.

    It’d be a money pit after the warranty period runs out. You’re still going to be better off with a run of the mill beater car

    Until Tesla allows other shops to do repairs, those swastikars will never be economical even if you ignore the Nazi part

    Your point about buying used being better for the environment also applies to older gas powered cars too, which will be easier and cheaper to repair




  • I pay for kagi because it’s genuinely less frustrating to use than searxng, duckduckgo, bing, and whatever shit Google is up to these days.

    They’re fine search engines but after years of using them I found they annoyed me sometimes; their limitations will surface if you use them long enough. In contrast, I haven’t ran into a kagi search results page yet that has annoyed me by not finding what I expected to see.

    The problem is that Google was good for a long time and then that became the bar everything is measured against. None of the free ones I tried came as close to that Google-like search from the before times as this paid service does.

















  • Alright! Dystopian nightmare timeline is a go!

    I especially like the part where cops are reported to heavily abuse these databases for personal agendas or to share with criminals. Truly ACAB

    This is a very good reason to maintain the appearance of neutrality while facing your local community

    This might even be an argument for putting those smoked opaque covers on your license plates even if it’s questionably legal. There’s more than a few people out there with definitely not legal smoked covers to the point you literally can’t read their plates unless you’re tailgating them, and cops don’t give a shit because nobody is ever pulled over for illegal mods. I’d wager that the cameras can’t read them either if you can’t at 10 yards
