    Let’s get that full quoted sentence instead of the two worda out of context that let you post the link you wanted.

    And if we look at nature in general, non-monogamous breeding across all species is the most common.

    Didn’t even need the whole sentence, just the word before those… “Across all species”.

    There’s kind of my point. It is a societal construct, one largely tied to religion and thus easily mapped to religious expansion across the globe.

    “Normal” for things like this is meaningless, because it is entirely based in arbitrary beliefs, not anything inherent in being human. It is based entirely on fake limits we’ve imposed on ourselves as a culture, nothing more.

    This is really only “abnormal” in a traditional, Christianity-based modern societal culture, and that’s nowhere near the entire world.







  • Harbor Freight is awesome, but as with everything else, you should know what you’re buying, and know what you actually need.

    Most people don’t need to pay a premium for something they’ll use just once, or maybe a handful of times, and never touch again.

    For most people, they don’t really know what they need, so buy Harbor Freight the first time, if you use so much it breaks, then buy a quality replacement, because you proved you actually need it.



  • In any sort of political adjacent topic there’s always a comment from someone that seems to assume that they’re inherently better than everyone else for no actual reason and that everyone else cares about their opinion of others. From your response here to a random person on the internet you know absolutely nothing about, I think it’s safe to assume you have a single digit number of people that tolerate you on a daily basis.

    I hope you have the day you deserve, I know I will.


  • But if you don’t have an anti elon sticker I’m starting to side eye them

    I don’t have a sticker, only because I don’t like stickers or badging on my vehicles at all. My Model 3 was early enough that they didn’t even have the Dual Motor badging for them in stock. They brought the badging to me at some point about a year later when the Rangers came to a tire rotation in my yard, there wasn’t even have a full Service Center here yet. I didn’t have them actually install the badging, it’s still in my glovebox. It’s as low key as I can make the damned thing.

    But that’s a major contributing factor to my looking at alternative options now instead of when it’s fully paid off in September. The swastikar is becoming a target, and I don’t want to have to deal with shit just because Elon’s a Nazi. Got a test drive setup next week for a Polestar 3, and if I fits and I likes, going to be looking at that probably, especially with their added discounts and bonus for leasing and currently owning a Tesla. Most other manufacturer vehicles I’d consider are at least 1-2 years away still, so a 27 month lease is just about perfect for filling that gap, and making a decision then. Would still be less than I’m paying for my Model 3 with those discounts.



  • For many of us we’ve had our vehicles for a long time before Elon went dipshit crazy. For some it’s because EVs were essentially dogshit before the Model 3 was introduced. Either short range grocery getters or expensive luxury. Even now most “electrified” vehicles everyone advertises are hybrids, not EVs.

    I got my Model 3 near the end of 2018. Elon wasn’t posting far right and Nazi shit at that time. He was sort of controversial, but that was about it.



  • It’s not that they can’t stick to anything… The issue is that they come up with shit ideas that they implement immediately without any planning. Then when the idea turns out to be shit publicly they have to walk it back at least partially because it isn’t doing what they wanted. They don’t care about how it looks, but the ideas are so terrible that they aren’t even accomplishing what they intend.
