    Ok, let’s grant that as true (by that I mean we will ignore arbitration as a whole thing). Suddenly Tesla stock drops, again, and they push an update that puts remote unlock and navigation and heated seats behind a subscription requirement to boost revenue. Your car will lose those functions immediately with no input from you. Then you file a lawsuit. You will not be granted an emergency summary judgment. Which means your car will immediately lack those capabilities. Absolute best case scenario in 5-7 years your car will get the features back after it has turned into a pile of rust. The expected outcome is you will get a class action settlement (which again, you actually signed away your rights to) that cuts you a check for a few hundred dollars. That will only happen well after the expected service life of the vehicle you “own”.

    If you read this and think I’m just a cynical jerk, please provide me just one example where the individual consumer won a lawsuit in the US against a large vendor when features were removed after a software update and was made whole in a timely manner. Just one is all I ask for.

    The I love drilling stuff, the I won’t nationalize healthcare stuff…I could go on for a while but I’m not going to bother. I never said she was worse than the other guy.

    You fundamentally misunderstand the people you speak authoritatively about. Please remember that voters and supportive posters on the internet are not the same thing. I agree that Green Party voters (actual human citizens, not bots and trolls online) are woefully misguided but they are not trumpets by any stretch. Have you talked to any of them in person?

    There's not a thing wrong with Harris as a candidate.

    You can’t actually, truly believe this right? You literally agree with her on every single issue in the world? Remember, you’re literally posting in a thread about how dumb it is to have blind party loyalty.

    She’s definitely a corporate stooge, but what makes her seem unlikable to you? I’ve found it so refreshing to finally have a presidential candidate that isn’t a totally creepy weirdo for once.

    These headlines always show up a month before every election. It’s the same shit as the “this time we’re definitely gonna legalize weed for sure bro just one more vote bruh.” It’s a non-specific promise that doesn’t have to be acted on, and should be treated as such.

    Wait this whole article just baselessly assumes that 1 new bluesky account = 1 person leaving twitter. That is so obviously unrealistic. Sure some people were probably curious and wanted to check out something new but that doesn't mean they will immediately switch platforms.

    You can’t just make fun of Those Guys for endlessly believing fake bullshit while unquestionably parroting this garbage.
