Both of you are assholes.

Nothing warrants destroying things over a perceived misgendering.

At the same time, a bit of an asshole response from you, when you could have just politely said that you meant dude as gender neutral term

Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

It’s also pretty fun to drive.

Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

No, because I need too much information for work. This would render me unable to perform my work, so I would need at least the replacement salary.

Rampant alcoholism.

Degrowth is a dangerous ideology. For those living in rich countries, degrowth might just mean austerity, for those living in middle and lower income countries, degrowth is going to mean destitution and certain death for x percentage of the population.

You mean x football fields.

Coincidentally both “football fields” are pretty close in length.

It actually does get higher revenue for content creators for the majority of your creators. Average per view is something like 5-10x vs non premium views.

It’s based around your watch time and something like 50%? of your subscription split across the channels you watch.

Ad impressions pay very little on YouTube.

I don’t think this is actually as bad as people say.

It’s not that we won’t have drinking water. Municipal water use is tiny! And provided with enough incentives (higher costs) people will use less water. And this can be done in very reasonable ways by issuing water tiered rates.

Agricultural water use, is a whole different topic. However, until we can incentives better water management on our massive agricultural lands, it’s only going to get worse.

I can share the perspective of why I joined beehaw instead of the other services.

I used to be on the side of free-speech maximalists, but after seeing communities crumble because of toxicity driving out people, I also came to see the same problems with social media that the beehaw folks see.

On anon/pseudo anon places, the social structure to correct anti-social behavior does not exist like in real life. So to create an environment that’s tolerable to the majority of people, you have to isolate and punish the bad actors.

I’m past the age where i want to be spending time on things and places where people are hateful and mean all the time.
