I feel like this is directed towards ICE vs EV cars. If that’s the case, it’s sort of frustrating.

EVs have some very real drawbacks. Even if those drawbacks are solvable problems, they are still problems right now. Pushing this narrative that EVs are universally better or that the biggest hurdle to adoption is irrational consumer sentiment will just make people feel gaslit. It’ll also make people more hesitant to adopt later on, because they’ll be skeptical of positive reviews that are honest.

Honestly if he was just like “yeah I was a complete asshole 20 years ago. I apologize” I wouldn’t hold it against him. I believe in the capacity for people to change.

However when asked about the Man Show he claimed it was supposed to be intricate satire, the fact that the audience genuinely liked it disgusted him, and he hated every second of it.

Kimmel was the creator, producer, and head writer. He could have easily changed the format if he truly despised it. Or just got rid of the part where he had scantily clad women dance on trampolines.

You can tell the exec who greenlit this was a boomer because they went with IBM.

An AI drive through was always going to be difficult. IBM simply isn’t the company that can do stuff like that anymore, and they haven’t been for decades at this point.

I feel like there’s a decent chunk of comedians who base their platform off progressive politics because that helps distract people from the fact they aren’t really funny.

Jimmy Kimmel is like their patron saint. Not only has he elevated his career beyond his talent level, but he managed to completely avoid getting canceled for all that racist and sexist shit he did on The Man Show. Like even if you can excuse most of it as a product of the time, straight up blackface wasn’t considered politically correct in the 2000s either.

You know in 2021 I thought that the MSM was deliberately ignoring the issues with EVs and promoting overly rosy timelines as part of a political agenda.

After seeing the massive amount of FUD they published about EVs over the past year, I think they are just bad at their jobs.

It feels like the media covers EVs based on vibes versus doing actual research. As a result they’ve consistently publish articles that are either borderline nonsense hopium or complete doomerism.

IMO I still think hybrids will be instrumental tech over the next decade. Those 300 mile EVs often get much worse range in weather conditions that are common in many parts of the country. It’s also simply going to take considerable time for fast charging infrastructure to become ubiquitous enough to truly address range anxiety.

We went through this with the whole “Windows 10 in S Mode”. The end result was a lot of pissed off consumers, both because of OS limitations and the fact the the HW specs of those devices were crap.

Can you elaborate on what makes you think that’s an appropriate thing to say to someone?

I’m old enough to remember this being Ubuntu.

I’m convinced this was a foreign attempt to stir up and/or signal boost controversy.

Dude is the mayor of Baltimore. A DEI hire in that city would be a wealthy white man. It’s also had serious issues for decades regardless of who was in charge.

There isn’t an American alive who doesn’t know this. Trump commented that Baltimore was a rat infested shit hole. Obama commented that Baltimore had serious issues. There was a fucking Broadway musical where the opening song is how much the protagonist loves Baltimore where she giddily describes being surrounded by filth, sex offenders, and addicts.

There are different types of ignorance. Calling the mayor of Baltimore incompetent due to DEI falls under the “living under a rock for several decades” type of ignorance that I have a hard time believing is common among Twitter users.

If the turnout was 8 percent, I’m pretty sure most of the MAGA republicans stayed home too.

This post doesn’t exist in a vacuum. There are a million and one posts about how the boomers had it super easy, and have been over a decade now. This is yet another one of these posts.

Second, the fact that supporting a family on a single family income was possible had a ton to do with the fact that people were pressured into having families and women were largely unable to enter the workforce.

You have extremely limited empathy for boomers because they were the authority figures growing up. You still treat them like a teenager would treat their parents, as opposed to how an adult would approach the situation.

This tweet is alluding to some golden era of America that never really existed in the way that the Internet implies

Man this place is really worse than reddit.

You sound like a petulant teenager.

The irony of this being posted on Lemmy.

My point was in regards to general online discourse around Boomers having it easy. As such, I listed the struggles they had.

That being said the ability to support a family on one income probably had a lot to do with taboos about women in the workforce.

Okay before I go off on you how old are you?

All those situations overlapped in that they were all things boomers had to deal with.

Please ask your therapist to go on Lemmy. My guess is that their professional opinion would be to severely limit time on this website.
