The rest of the world has left their obsolete ideologies behind and they hate the world for it.

Why do people still buy Teslas? Serious question

Edit - great responses everyone. It was a genuine question & I appreciate the candor

Piecemeal

Agree completely. Good comment

Unfortunately dude still has rights, regardless of how many times he breaks the law, or makes a mockery of it.

Can you get a PE license in software engineering? Serious question

Edit: PE = professional engineer.

In most parts of the United States the title “engineer” or “professional engineer” is a title with legal requirements & responsibilities in the same way calling yourself a medical doctor or lawyer would be. Folks with the credentials to be a professional engineer are tested & licensed by the state to practice engineering, similar to the way the bar or medical board would vet lawyers & doctors.

The dude certifying the structural plans for the bridge you drive over every day is in this category. Same with other categories of critical engineering from the fields of chemical, electrical, mechanical, civil, environmental, etc.

That said, TIL software “engineers” aren’t part of this group. Maybe they should be

As am I. Been a gun toting democrat since I shipped off to Iraq to look for yellowcake.

Taking out a loan for a vehicle does not mean you are rich lol.

Anyone can get financing for a shitty new car, not everyone can figure out how to retire by the age of 55

Nah, being fat is the embodiment of laziness. Your bias isn’t wrong, but good on you for trying to give people a chance.

I think updating the driving test to mandate proving you’re able to drive a stick would thin the herd quite a bit.

Especially in the USA

Pretty sure Meadows and Rudy are singing

Seriously. Had he not ran, or dropped out early, he could have probably started his own fringe news channel and lived a relatively unchanged, trouble free life and probably made some money doing it.

I personally think he expected to lose and wasn’t expecting the Russians to barely tip the scales to eek out an electoral college victory.

Having someone over a barrel doesn’t really work if the guy over the barrel doesn’t care.

I get the vibe McCarthy doesn’t want to be speaker of the house anymore, probably because of the Q crazies he has to treat like “equals” in order to secure their vote.

Yea that was my point re: Nissans aren’t hat they used to be.

A brain damaged chimp could get financing for a Nissan. They certainly aren’t designed for quality anymore, regardless of fuel system

Glad to see you’re happy with your purchase bud

Yea the point I was making is they’re not the same company the once we’re. Nissan of the late 90’s no longer exists.

A 4 year old car should have zero issues but I say that being a Toyota owner.

The Leaf’s air cooled batteries lacking any kind of thermal management is usually a deal breaker for most folks. But yes, I’m sure Nissan chose to do that for quality reasons.

Lol I think their incompetent QA/QC department would like to speak with you.

Nissan vehicles are hot garbage. Go drive a Leaf sometime and see for yourself

It’s really just as simple as tribalistic zero sum game politics. They want to damage the other side at whatever cost. It’s fueled by hate whipped into a frenzy by social media because it makes a lot money for social media companies to have people so engaged in hating others.

I used to be a republican, back before GW Bush & Cheney sent me off to Iraq to go look for yellowcake lol. I also have never used Facebook, Instagram or any other social media platforms outside of Lemmy (formerly Reddit). All of that said, the transformation of the R party into what it is today has been pretty disturbing for me. Frankly it reminds me of the fanatic suicide bomber Islamic extremism you see in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Not counting the suicides, cyber bullying and countless psychological disorders amplified by social media…sure, nobody has died because they didn’t get “likes” lol
