The explanation was helpful to me cuz I actually had no idea what it meant (this isn't a joke but my life is)

Do EVs have connecting rods? The article does go into right to repair, sounds like the company is pro DIY repair so that's promising at least.

Chicago has a pretty big police force unfortunately. Looks like around 12- 13k little piggies (source)

So about 25 cops here leaves... roughly 12- 13k cops in the rest of the city :P

ETA: fun facts, the Chicago Police Dept budget is just below $2 billion. That puts it right below Slovakia's entire military budget. Slovakia's population is ~5.5 million vs. Chicago's 2.7 million people.

Chicago alone has almost as many cops as the entirety of Ireland (which has 14.6k cops for 5.3 million Irish citizens)

The craziest part of that article is

Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company's (...) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).

So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn't see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.

I shouldn't be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.

I signed up and got an email with a link to the apk. I'd share, but it looks like it's personalized to my email maybe? and it doesn't work anymore

Zeezee already has a great reply. I'd also like to add that gender dysphoria isn't the same as being trans, it's possible to be trans and not have dysphoria

Your neighbor says women wearing dresses isn't transphobic, but not respecting pronouns is?

Why do we need competitiveness among minorities when they're already at a disadvantage? The competitiveness should be equal between minorities and majorities, otherwise it's not a meritocracy, it's just oppression.

Edit to add: the disadvantage I'm referring to is bigoted hiring practices that are well documented, and a history of oppression.
