I would be very surprised if that is why Amazon chose those cities. Having worked there, they would have pulled demographic data to see how many new cars are sold each year and released in the highest volume cities with dealers willing to work with them.

Hard to say without going in, but the list price is still $1000 less.

lol, I looked at the cheapest Ioniq 5 in my area on Amazon and at the dealer’s website. $8500 cheaper directly from the dealer since they offer $7500 off for using their preferred lender. $1000 cheaper if you don’t use their lender

Nah, everything is filtered through a slight red filter

Oh, awesome! I’m glad you like it. It is one of my favorite quick games

GotY usually has pretty mass appeal. Metaphor is a pretty niche game, so I would be surprised if it got GotY most places

I am pretty staunchly antireligious in my personal life, but I try to meet folks where they are. If you are not a wild evangelical just being hateful all over, then you’re probably good by me. What you believe doesn’t really matter to me until it starts to try to interfere with my life.

While that is true for some cars, not all cars, EV or ICE, are built equally. One of my previous cars got all the preventative maintainance, but it still started to break down constantly at 120k miles (Saab 9-5 if you’re curious). The issue is that while we have a lot of reliability data for ICE cars, there isn’t much for EVs. Ideally they would have higher reliability since they are relatively more simple, but at this point we do not have long term data.

Also, and this is an article problem, not a you problem, years owned is not as helpful as miles driven. Even in EVs, the slight degradation you see YoY could be amplified by driving 50k miles in a year.

Calico is great! Not sure if there is a digital version, but you would probably like Cascadia if you like Calico.

I don’t blog, so no, but a content or trigger warning at the top would have gone a long way.

I don’t think that is what was going on here, though. They were saying TikTok and Facebook are both equally bad. You may not agree, but at no point did they say it was a good thing that China gets your data. They said it is bad that both China and the US get your data.

Oh, the channel and length in brackets is a great idea

Yeah, semantically the argument makes some some sense (though in cultural practice it doesn’t quite fit), but putting transphobic comments and homophobic jokes without any kind of warning is shitty. I get the joke at the end is meant to turn it on it’s head, but again, because the idea doesn’t quite fit culturally it just falls flat.

Ah, got ya. In my experience “Oh poor them” is most often used sarcastically

lol, you’re right, though I expect that happens less often on Beehaw

I’m not really sure what talking down to people that clearly aren’t part of this platform accomplishes. Even if they were here this kind of comment might make them less likely to post something.

And I don’t think a requirement or you take it down is what is needed. Maybe if it is not there, just a nudge from a mod to give a little more info

Yeah, and that is kinda my point too. Like, I want to engage, but unless I know the source I am not inclined. There are too many shitasses on YouTube for me to click and discuss anything on title alone.

Ope, you were slightly faster than me. Removing my post

I realized I shoulda made that joke right after I hit post. I debating editing it, but decided to leave the setup. So thanks you!
