So masks are fine for fascists commiting mass arrests, but not for citizens protesting those same fascists.

I may be buying the foolishness of the masses, but your anecdotes are only as good as mine.

That's shrimply not true. The numbers Tesla releases are heavily cooked.

Had a quick look around but I didn't manage to find any numbers that weren't either using Tesla'd numbers, or guessing.

But it's pretty well known that FSD sucks (have been in a car using it .. terrifying af) and that it'll turn itself off before an accident to pass accountability to the driver.

That's the intent

I know but the stretch is important

Lmao. You know that's flimsy af at best.

They're talking about gunning down protestors en mass. I think they've already got enough ammo.

Y'all should rethink it. How does changing your outer layers incriminate anyone else? If they "look the same" they probably would've gotten shit anyways..

Can't be art with no artist, just 'generated illustration'

Idk, sounds like they should develop as people then

It's impossible to be perfect so you won't even try?

Sure, a lot of other things indirectly harm queers, but it's pretty fucking clear that support for HP, which includes maintaining it's cultural relevance, is directly increasing the influence, wealth, and power of a single person who's utilizing a lot of their time and energy on specifically trans hate.

Not hard to drop a shitty YA series, accept that it was in the past and there was no harm in enjoying it, but that continued support is pretty directly harmful.

I don't get everyone and their eternal "but it was my childhood" crap. I look back on the content I enjoyed in the worst parts of my life fondly, but I've moved on to enjoying other things? I don't need to keep a series from 20 years ago as a current force in the cultural zeitgeist.

(In relation to the current media landscape as a whole) Why people just consume the same content, the same characters, or the same IP repeatedly, as they continue existing in a more and more profit-driven way is beyond me.

That and if you're not already avoiding big box stores as much as probable, that's kinda on you. People have to eat, and often, work has to be done, and those monopolies often give you literally no other practical choice. HP is just a single series among hundreds and thousands of YA magical boy series.

They're basically swifties ffs.
