No, meaning the online world is MUCH different than reality.

Reddit is a great example, it's like a different dimension of reality.

Because actual weapons are much worse, don't you try to exhaust all options until you stop dropping bombs on people?

I replied to a comment mentioning deaths from sanctions.

Other than our monkey brains prioritizing physical violence as worse, I don’t see a functional different between deaths from sanctions and deaths from bombs.

After 9/11, America had a brief moment of world support that we royalty screwed up. But that was only because we were attacked. Besides that its all nations for themselves.

And even today, if the UK or Germany [just examples] were attacked in the same way, America would send troops under the same circumstances.

Hopefully the Democrats don't double down on it.

I was thinking the same. It's just a hunch, but very few people vote on what the rest of the world thinks of the candidate that they vote for.

They think, how this president will serve me and my family.

>you wouldn't expect if voters are acting rationally

Here we go again. The "You aren't rational" or "You should vote for my cause if you know what is good for you"

This does not work, it never will. I don't get why people think this is a good way to get people to see your viewpoint.

I’m not trying to convince anyone. I am happy to engage in a discussion if you are interested in anything beyond platitudes about what will and will not “work”.

I'm rejecting your claim that voters didn't act rationally relative to any other human.

No human is 100% rational, doesn't matter if you are Progressive or Conservative, you don't get to claim to be rational and others not (relatively speaking).

> I'm rejecting your claim that voters didn't act rationally relative to any other human.

Okay

> you don't get to claim to be rational and others not (relatively speaking).

Agreed. However, if someone presents a rubric to explain her actions, any person can assess that rubric and the actions for congruence. This is what I am doing.

>You are delusional if you think January 6th was not an insurrection. Anyone who willingly denies the reality of what happened that day is nothing more than a traitor to this country.

Was it a "insurrection", yes, sure.

Was it lead by Trump to try and take the presidency through a coup, no.

Does he have responsibility in the actions of the people that came their by what he said? Maybe, that is for a court to decide that we'll probably never see.

He most clearly is a criminal, racist pedo.

People should shun anyone that voted for him

Trump used to wander into the dressing room of Miss Teen USA, walking in on undressed minors intentionally.

Calling him a pedo is not a wild-reaching claim. Claiming he did the above for anything but sexual gratification from minors is.

Please tell me what trying to convince states to send false electors who would vote for Trump even though he lost their states and trying to prevent the certification of the election to either allow the false electors to be used or to throw the election to the state delegations should be called if not a coup.

I remember when /r/technology was more about technology, now it is /r/politics with a microchip hat. I ignored that sub long ago.

It is 100% compatible when your basis is just finding a local gas station to fill up. 600 days later, you may know where a charging station is, but not any more convenient... yet.

You don't need a charging station for 99 per cent of your rides. You can charge daily at home and forget about recharging except when making a long trip.

If you usually make trips that are over the battery life, that's a different thing though. But most people don't have that problem.

That makes it even more realistic. I have the charger in my garage, I happened to need a charger to get home on my last trip (120 mile round trip, the car claimed 220 miles of charge but that didn't account for the cold winter), but I had to open an app and such just to use it. (at least I had the app and an account - but my credit card was expired so I had to type numbers to get it activated). I had to search for that charger - there was exactly one charger within 30 miles (only 7kw, but it gave me enough range to get home while I ate lunch).

Meanwhile I passed half a dozen gas stations. No app/account needed at any of them, just tap/swipe my credit card and fill.

Most people don't have the charging problem often, but when you make a mistake you sometimes will need it. The system doesn't work. There needs to be chargers all over, and they need to be quick/easy. I don't want to download an app for a charger I will likely never visit again in my life.
