I’ve been an Automotive Technician for a couple decades now and I can safely say combustion engines have way more parts that fail and if you can use a youtube video to diagnose your ICE (very rarely is this possible) then you’re smart enough to do the same with an EV.

There is way less parts on an EV and they are way easier to fix.

The article is an opinion piece that is intentionally leaving out what topics they claim are not being debated.

At a time when science has been politicized, it is safe to say these topics are not up for debate. Reality isn’t up for debate. Especially when it is evidence vs opinion.

What does this race bait have to do with Elon Musk?

We are calling him a traitor for having Starlink turned off in Ukraine to protect Russia from a counter attack.

Because it takes 15 years to get a nuclear plant up and running. Which is plenty of time to sabotage the project so we end up stuck having to use fossil fuels.

Not to mention we would have to burn fossil fuels the whole 15 years we wait for that one nuclear plant.

Ya these responses are making some really weird assumptions. Don’t let them gaslight you.

Seems like my opinion is an unpopular one here but here goes:

If the tables were turned and it was an adult revealing too much of their body to a child and making the child uncomfortable it would be inappropriate.

If someone goes out in public naked under a trench coat and exposes themselves to people who don’t want to see their genitals it’s sexual assault.

I realize different countries have different social norms but just because a scandanavian country is ok with nudity doesn’t mean that the rest of the world is or has to be. You have your own social norms based on where you live and at least in the US, certain body parts make the majority uncomfortable when visible. I don’t see this as right or wrong, just local customs.

If social norms were to change to accept nudity then that would change the situation. Some of these comments downplay the fact that it makes you uncomfortable just because nudity is accepted in a scandanavian country. Which is like saying: “In middle eastern countries woman must be fully covered at all times so you should live by that custom”, which is the opposite side of the same spectrum of acceptable nudity.

It’s my opinion that we all have to coexist and that means taking other peoples feeling into consideration to some degree. Even if those feelings are formed from social norms that change depending on where you are.

To answer your question, I don’t think it is good to talk directly to the daughter and tell her to change the way she dresses but I would let her mother know it makes me uncomfortable and try to find a compromise.

It’s takes 10-15 years to make a new nuclear plant. If you choose nuclear without renewables you would have to burn so much fossil fuels while waiting for your nuclear power to become ready that the human race would be extinct before you have a decarbonized energy grid.

Don’t get your climate science from politicians. Listen to climate scientists instead.
