  • I’m sorry but CNN being center right is definitely an indication of your own bias in our Lemmy echo chamber. Relative to the masses, it’s about center left but still shows significant pro-left coverage.

    Say what you want about there being a former no-kidding US communist party or that other country’s police systems make the whole US system right wing, but relative to the US (which mediabiasfactcheck is designed for) it is left. I was so impressed by the site many years ago when all the things I thought were centrist turned out to be biased toward my political beliefs. That’s what truth feels like




  • Until the government successfully establishes a standard charge port (republicans go “reeeeeeeee!”) then I will want a out in hybrid that can still use gas in an emergency. I have never found a compatible charger for my Chevy Volt, but I can still road trip since my gas tank will take me hundreds of miles. Daily driving though? Never use a drop. I even keep my gas at 1/4 tank just to save a couple lbs of weight because I can charge it in the normal outlet in my garage.

    Price-wise, I got it used, 4 years old for 20k. I think you can get a 2017 now for about 10-15k so they’re not crazy pricey


  • The more accurate allegory I like is tricking yourself into believing that will have to live the life of everyone who as ever lived (like reincarnated once at a time). It still means that you have to kill hitler because you would want to protect all of your other reincarnation experiences, but you’re not necessarily going to torture them alive for fun… maybe for deterrence though.

    It’s the most true to the fact that everyone has the same experiences we do, we’re just numb to them. We would act as if the first paragraph were true if we could somehow tap into the consciousness experiences of everyone else. Selfishness is just ignorance

    There’s nothing wrong with the lesson here but this sounds fake. Those are the two most superficial stereotypes of class life with no explanation how you bridged that gap. There is a big jump in happiness when you no longer have to worry about making ends meet. From there, you just have to not get caught up in consumer envy.

    But hey this is the internet so who knows
