What electric vehicle gets 5 miles/1.2kWh? That's only 240 Wh/mi.

A small 30 amp level 2 charger can put another 10 miles of range in a 450 Wh/mi car in 40 minutes.

A 15 amp level 1 charger can put another 10 miles of range in a 450 Wh/mi car in 2.5 hours on paper, but practically it takes longer, over 3 hours if it downrates itself to 12 amps, and almost 5 hours if it chickens out to 8 amps.

Another 4.5 kWh of battery gets another 10 miles of range without charging.

Having a level 2 charger at home means any time you go home for just about any reason you can always take just about any trip again right away, without an expensive vehicle with an oversized battery.

That url is terrifying

Have you listened to yourself speak? The time, effort, and cost of listening to an album are nowhere near the time, effort, and cost of choosing and purchasing a shirt. Unless the album came out 3 days ago and isn't easily available online yet that question sounds ... unpleasant.

A conversation and challenging someone are two different things. They didn't open up a conversation, they challenged the person with the T-shirts interest. They deserve to be challenged back, especially in a way that calls attention to the fact that they are abbrasive, intolerable, or worse.

Doesn't even need a caption anymore.

You can't control your own

In the 80s McDonald's both didn't pay minimum wage and required employees to purchase uniforms from the company.

Companies can still require employees to purchase uniforms in the US as long as the deduction for the uniform doesn't reduce their wages below the pittance that federal minimum wage is.

"Torture"

Sorry, "moral hazard" is a term-of-art (something that doesn't mean what it says on its face but is used in some particular way in some fields or professions). In this case by "moral hazard" I meant the idea that if you reduce the harm of some course of action there's a chance that people will engage in it more because it's less harmful now. It usually is applied to risky-yet-beneficial behaviours like injury from sports or from outdoor pursuits. It's ridiculous in that context (I don't think we should make things worse just so they don't get better) and doubly or triply ridiculous when the risky behaviour isn't beneficial or also isn't effectively voluntary.

analyzed in depth under the lens of how that would actually effect reality

You are implying you imagine some moral hazard where their provider minimizes the risk of the conditions the patient has, and as a result the patient stops seeking treatment. What you're talking about in reality is shame. "Should a patient feel shame talking to their provider"?, and the answer to that is resoundingly "no". Shame is a powerful demotivator, it's function is to stop a person from doing something that threatens their relationships with others or the society they depend on. Trying to motivate someone with shame is counter-productive. All shame in a patient care setting can do is demotivate the patient from seeking care.

Mental illnesses are absolutely medical conditions. Many of them have physical origins; your brain is a physical organ in your body. Mental illnesses with social or experiential origins are also medical conditions that can demand both physical and mental care. The brain can have a physical impact on the body that also need care. Your brain is the main organ in your body that predicts what will happen in the future, and other parts of your body respond to it to regulate biological functions, as famously demonstrated by Pavlov's experiments with conditioning dogs by experience to get a response from their digestive (salivary) glands.
