i just don't want another gas only car, and so will deal with some inconvenience.


Where are you going to plug in, and how often? The Prius is $7,000 cheaper than the Prius Prime; I don't think many would pay the premium for the Prime unless they had a convenient place to plug in.


by south hills, guessing you mean the Mon Valley?


South Hills is the southern suburbs. Bethel Park, South Park, Dormont, Castle Shannon, Mt Lebanon, etc.


how is social democracy more authoritarian than capitalist democracy?


the message was : 1) you're less likely to get covid if you are injected 2) you're less likely to need to go to the hospital if you are injected 3) when the vaccine first came out, no one knew of or talked about long covid


actually when the vaccine first came out, no one knew of or talked about long covid (no idea why I cant just edit my reply)

It was absolutely a thing before the vaccines. It started on social media and took a lot of pushing before doctors and researchers started looking at it.


do the unvaccinated get "long covid"?


pgh in the hause!


I wanted this for a long time. Like you right click and get a choice of discussion, explanations, or clarifications, etc. I haven't studied Xanadu, but there just has to be something that does this out there already


> 'is like expecting women not to be afraid at night'

some women that I am afraid of would like a word :)


I'm very interested in the recent origins of this playbook. 'never apologize, never explain' is really old, but it seems to be a thing now


The president demonstrated it from 2016 to 2020. We are just seeing the copycats now.


Trump is to blame for the behavior of the company that banned Trump's subreddit? Is there anything this man can't be blamed for?


Well, he did things more brazenly and on a bigger stage than anyone before him, and got away with it. Big numbers of people noticed.


Did Spez ban trump's sub or did Reddit?

There are inevitable more than one Spez at Reddit, but I doubt all 2000+ employees are like that.


This is a public speech playbook to influence a crowd. You need to reach a large audience on your own terms without being challenged. It was not applicable through traditional media, and public speeches occasion with a large audience were very rare. Social media made it possible 24/7. Also the previous US president proving it works was a turning point.


I think it's always been a common playbook. It just doesn't come across as a playbook at all when it works; either you assume the issue must have been minor or you never hear about it at all. (How many people remember the Starbucks strikes in November and December 2022?)


are you saying that Ukrainians want more than to just not be invaded?


Yes, they want to not be invaded now, not invaded in 5 years, in 10 years, etc. No pieredyshka.


the gall, am I right? /s


android 11 asks me if i want to charge only or also allow data transfer. Is it that we can't trust android to be not be hacked just by checking if data pins exist?
