  • That’s a stretch. I don’t need to hate someone (including myself) to deem them less attractive or just not my type.

    And I honestly think that’s what’s at play here - straight guys are into women and will judge their appearance differently from how they judge the appearance of other men.

    Perhaps we don’t collectively look like we dress poorly and barely take care of ourselves to women, as they likely look at other aspects of our physical appearance than we do

    The thing I really hate is how this shorthand dismissal of people’s opinions based on their gender identity or sexuality has become normalized on social media. Yes, the joke is funny, but it’s saddening that this has become acceptable behavior as it encourages discrimination in the real world too. It also makes me wonder how we can continue to function as a society without deprogramming individuals that have gotten radicalized by online hate.


  • While you are not wrong, the enemy of “perfect” should not be “good”.

    In this case, presuming folks get into a new vehicle ever 4-5 years on average (I know the number is skewing more toward 6-7 in the US, but the point stands) having them switch to a car that has a slightly higher production impact but makes up for it after the first 1.5 years of ownership still means we achieve net lower emissions. There are numerous studies showing that EVs, even when used on less clean electricity sources, drastically reduce total lifetime emissions compared to combustion engine vehicles.

    And let’s not forget that we can power EVs using renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro) which is just an economically and environmentally more sustainable practice than the single-use burning of a bunch of hydrocarbons.

    Seriously, he’d look so much less like a clown if he dropped the bronzer habit and horrendous comb-over that I am certain he does this on purpose to deflect criticism for his actions by drawing all the attention to how he looks. It’s like a diversion tactic, and sadly it’s working.
