Shut the fuck up, Donnie. You piece of shit

Watch them start making chargers that hook up to your infotainment system and run ads all the way through your charging session.

Edit: period.

Terrorist!

Can someone explain this reference?

Lol no. That’s not at all where the current state of things is. Yes, you do have localized echo chambers where people repeat their insane little opinions about whatever bullshit alex Jones or musk or Jordan Peterson or whomever says. But that represents a minimal number compared to the amount of people out there who are vastly knowledgeable and studied and experienced in the things they do. Your hyperbolic hot take is not only wrong, but is also reductive and neglects to acknowledge that there are a lot of intelligent people out there doing good things for society.

Good ol’ damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

The inbred is strong on these

I hate that my attention span and adhd make it so hard to read interesting studies.

It took me a while, but it really grew on me. I’m a big fan of their vanilla cola, and grape flavours. But yes, it is a bit of an acquired taste maybe.

Zevia crew represent!

Thanks!

Someone care to elaborate on what are web rings?

Octal for hackernews. Lots of peer reviewed papers, reports, and good articles. And lots of smart people in the comments. No memes, no bs.

A reply I got from him on a thread below just read like trump wrote it, and then goes on to say that he “literally just said” what I then replied. I’m like mf where??

lol ok. Im sure a bunch of white people got offended on behalf of us.

Someone’s gotta balance the scales

Without getting too deep into it, I think the simplest explanation is that speedy Gonzalez was just funny and entertaining. I don’t think many people at the time stopped to think too much about it being representative of our culture or even a stereotype. Looking back, sure, it is a stereotype, but one that even by then was so outdated that no one thought twice about it perhaps being offensive.

I think a very interesting part of Mexican culture is to learn how to not take ourselves too seriously. I had to learn to deal with being made fun of for the stupidest things. It was always “el que se enoja, pierde (he who gets mad, loses).” So you had to learn how to take it and dish it back. And the idea was to keep it as a battle of wits, without becoming irate and physical. I have to admit, I lost more times than I’d like to own up…
