Hyundai is listening to what consumers want much more readily than other manufacturers, and their body designs strike an incredible balance between modern familiarity and retrofuturism. It’s almost exactly what I want from a new vehicle, other than the fact that they use all the same forced telemetry that other brands are using.

They’re also offering a great spread of electric AND hybrid vehicles to satisfy consumers worried about charger availability as well as consumers worried about the impact of gasoline-powered vehicles.

I won’t be surprised if they continue to increase their market share for a long time to come. If only privacy concerns were as common among the broader population as they seem to be here in the Fediverse, then maybe they might address those issues as well and be a no-brainer purchase.

However, the economy being good is not often actually good for the customer. It’s just a slowing down of things getting worse.

The most basic?

The most degenerate of white men, more like

Spacetime is curved. Inertial paths through spacetime are straight.

Euclidean space is not the only space where straight lines are possible.

In actual reality there would be wind and water currents diverting any ship sailing that route from the depicted “line” anyway so the whole argument is pointless

The only straight line paths in the universe are followed by electrostatically uncharged non-accelerating objects in free fall in a vacuum. Or massless particles.

It’s a straight line through non-euclidean space

Why do I care what ICANN says I can do on my own network? It’s my network, I do what I want.

IMO, whether or not Gwen is canonically transgender is irrelevant, because thematically the two are equivalent. Being spider-woman is allegorical for being transgender.

• She knew she was different before anyone else did
• The way that she’s different would affect how others see her once they find out, very possibly putting her in danger, depending on who finds out and how hateful/vengeful they are.
• She could theoretically quash that part of herself and live the way everyone expects her to, but to do so would be to kill a piece of who she is
• She had to “Come out” to her dad (and not by choice, really. She only did so because she was caught with her new clothes.)
• She wasn’t accepted for who she was in that coming out, but knew it would be easier to live without her closest family member’s support than to live without being herself.
• She found a community of others like her, who all have unique but similar experiences and who are eager to support one another.

The colors may be an indication that Gwen specifically is trans, or a hint to the audience that to be a Spider-person is an allegory for being trans. Her character was designed with the white, pink, and blue color scheme in 2014, so it’s not all that unlikely that the color scheme was an allusion to the trans pride flag on purpose. Maybe a writer or character designer clarified somewhere exactly how intentional or coincidental this Spider-Gwen/Transgender connection is, would be cool to see if so.

At the end of the day, the story serves to make people more empathetic to others who have to weigh their identity against their safety, especially in cases where the facet of their identity in question could be intentionally kept hidden.

Sounds like a great tool to have available for school districts looking at using Linux for student laptops.

Yeah, the nazi secret police is still the first thing that comes to mind when most Americans hear/see “SS” without context.

Bottom is bad. Top is worse. We deserve better than all pictured. If you disagree, I do not respect you.

Transphobia is the intersection of misandry and toxic masculinity and all of it is gross.

I could easily spend a billion dollars but most of it would be doing Mr Beast type shit like building houses and wells and hospitals or paying for people’s medical procedures.

You have to be pretty heartless to have that much money and keep it all to yourself

If your feelings weren’t mixed you either don’t value human life or you don’t value democracy.

Edit: a bystander was killed and so was the 20 year old gunman. This is the human life I’m referring to.
