Same here (well, I can manage a few basic phrases in Japanese, but that's about it). Navigating Japan's rail system was very easy. Well, unless you enter turnstiles at the station and then try to exit right from the same station,

I will need to look up the bookmark at home; it was posted here maybe a month ago? Basically, rated reporting outfits like Reuters high on credibility and low on partisanship, while Breitbart or Daily Kos rate low on credibility and high on

They tend to be far more religious than I would care for, but they often do make a lot of sense, and tend to be quite highly rated for accuracy; more so than pretty much any "progressive" media.

It is generally a Soviet trait to conflate followers of Mussolini with nazis. Arguably, communists are a greater problem than fringe nazi groups exactly because while being a nazi is not acceptable in a decent company, being a communist unf

Do you have any substantive argument for that?

Great -- as in slaughtering more of his own people than even Hitler did to them? While the Russians might even, to some degree, like the idea, it does not make it right.

And again, are we to assume that it is you who will decide who is a fascist and who is not? And why such a discrimination of communists, who are far more deadly and dangerous than any "fascist" (your Soviet terminology is showing;

Aren't there just more PHEV than BEV models, so each individual model faces more competition? If you start adding up PHEVs, they overtake Tesla pretty quickly (and the rest of the BEVs look more like rounding errors anyway). Then, of c

True... electric, especially Tesla threads bring out a lot of... strange opinions. Could not it be that the lack of sufficiently quickly charging solutions and charging infrastructure is not a major problem when the market is that fraction

But that's not the question. The question is who decides, and how, what speech should have (negative) consequences. If I am reading you correctly, you are saying that you will provide consequences to those who you deem to be callin

That goes both ways. Electric cars work for many people. They do not for a non-trivial number. Hell, I want an electric car (not a Tesla, most likely, I am too used to good ergonomics and nice interiors), but first buying a rather expensi

There's quite a bit of rehabilitation of Stalin going on, and a lot of "and if somebody was executed, well they were the enemy and deserved it". Reading Russian forums can be quite "entertaining" in a way lately.

So you do agree then, that if I find your intolerance of possibly perfectly fine (after all, why should your judgement of what is acceptable and what is not be any more valid than mine, his, hers, or that guy-over-there's) and at the v

Not sure if that's how I would read it. They are seeing falling sales of something that is often considered a "fake" Porsche (gasp, it has 4 doors!). The article makes a much stronger case than the CEO that it is due to Tesla

Well, the difference is that being a (neo)Nazi is, rightly, illegal in Germany. Being a Communist (or even a Stalinist) is perfectly acceptable, and even encouraged from the top, in Russia.

by Fins 8y ago
So while you are intolerant to Nazis (who you will define yourself) will you be making an exception for yourself, or will you not tolerate your own intolerance to wrongthink?

by Fins 8y ago
And who will decide what is not to be tolerated?

The difference being that the Russian guard will quite possibly like it.

With cashback on Executive membership, it always ends up being free (and then some) for me. On the other hand, Amazon was just not worth the aggravation of having to deal with their customer "service".

But are they feeling threatened? On a luxury and quality scale there is absolutely no comparison between even a fully loaded Model S and an entry-level German car from a luxury brand. Tesla can do very well with people who think they are &q

How would it be worse than if they filmed a snuff movie there? Or a commercial for a cause the host vehemently disagrees with? I could see a point if they were banning accounts that use rented paces for commercial activity, assuming it were

They are a typical SF company -- lots of posturing and virtue signaling while screwing people and entire communities over.
