  • I don’t really care what they look like. If any truck actually could meet the promises these made, I’d buy the shit out of them:

    -All electric

    -Sophisticated sensor suite to improve operational safety

    -Working performance comparable to F150

    -low maintenance

    -Can be used as home power backup

    -not a Deathtrap

    -not a Killing machine

    It hits the electric points, but that’s it. It’s a bad truck. It doesn’t fulfill any of the “smart” promises. Death trap killing machines in constant recall that can’t handle rain… Let alone do work.

    The aesthetic doesn’t even make my list of complaints. It’s like the whole industry has been trying to make trucks as shitty as possible for like 30 years. Give me a '94 ranger electric conversion kit and it’s game fucking over cyber truck.








  • I think a lot of Americans don’t understand that the USA hedgemony isn’t a divine right, it was a deliberate construction with tacit agreement of convenience from the western world.

    Much like an economy, belief makes it so.

    Much like the UK’s arrogance has driven them into geopolitical obscurity, so will the USA’s.

    In 15 years, Americans are going to wake up and realize that their voices are irrelevant in the world. I don’t know how y’all are going to handle it.










  • Ukraine is losing ground. Unless something changes, they will eventually lose the war.

    The things required to stop that will necessarily be escalatory.

    The West needs to fucking swallow that pill instead of endlessly fretting about escalation. Do you think Putin is worried about escalation? He just brought North Korea into the war.

    Ukraine will be a smouldering ruin and Russian troops will be amassed at the border of the NATO Baltics licking their chops and the big brain west will be saying “Thank goodness we were so responsible in the Former Ukraine”
