Many people are incapable of nuance.

I think it has some use cases, but it’s like religion: Don’t cram it down my throat, keep it to yourself, and I don’t mind it if it’s on my terms.

I was wondering how that jived with the 8th amendment… but it’s just “we appealed the ruling that it was unconstitutional so fuck you” and no further details

I’d settle for a cherry bomb in putins colon

Gotcha, that makes sense

It’s like that anecdote about the $50 shoes breaking down within a year vs the $150 shoes that last forever

Where is it defined as 200-400k a year?

I thought it was based off of savings and ability to vacation

I just take issue with the word “rich”

Like all those people are poor, primarily as a result of the politicians and corporate greed. I ain’t rich but I’m luckily far from that 40% grouping. I’d probably be grouped as the elusive middle class

You don’t have to be rich, that’s what loans are for Solar is also way cheaper in other non-us countries

Also balcony solar is coming to the US so it’ll be more accessible

I don’t think it’s a problem to be selfish, if you can provide for the kid (both emotionally and materially).

Also the foster/adopt system is exceedingly slow (months to years for placement) and the older children are likely to have serious issues. Personally I’d be fine with fostering to adopt but I don’t want to risk bringing a behavioral nightmare of a teen into my house.

For new life, assuming the emotional + material needs are met, existence is definitely worth it over nothingness. Global warming and all these authoritarian politicians are definitely making for a shitty looking future for new life though.

Yall got some dismal life experiences; what a dour outlook on life.

That 200mi estimate is based on driving around 30-40 mph

You can expect like 140 miles of range at highway speeds

You should pull footage now to ensure it’s working the way you want. I realized my date/timestamps were broken cuz the camera was only powered when the car was. Misc stuff like that is good to know ahead of time
