Defacing is something permanent

Legally, it isn’t. People get arrested for sidewalk chalk art all the time. They often get dismissed because it’s a bullshit law, but it’s still a law.

I mean, AFD is gaining a scary amount of traction there, so yeah kinda.

No, it doesn’t hurt Tesla. There’s no such thing as bad publicity; if there was, Tesla’s owner wouldn’t have been able to throw up two nazi salutes at the inauguration and then be given access to all of the American people’s personal data.

Who do you think gets paid when the owner repairs the car? Tesla makes money every time somebody scratches up a Cybertruck.

Y’all act like OP wrote the damn laws.

In many places, “writing” with the dust on a car is legally considered vandalism. It doesn’t matter how temporary it is, or if it washes off with a stiff breeze or a light rain. Here in Texas, it’d fall under criminal mischief for “intentionally or knowingly makes markings, including inscriptions, slogans, drawings, or paintings, on the tangible property of the owner”. Whether or not a court will spend the time hearing such a case is another story, but it’s technically illegal, as the laws are written.

No. It doesn’t hurt Tesla, it just hurts an individual, and you don’t know their reasoning for buying the car in the first place.

Many Tesla owners are Uber drivers who got their Tesla through Uber because they didn’t have any other car to use. And they usually don’t get a lot of choices on that car they get. Damaging their car is damaging their livelihood.

Obviously that’s not the case for every Tesla owner, but I’m not about to risk ruining the income of somebody who is likely already struggling, just because I’m mad at a billionaire nazi. And neither should you.

If you want to break things, break things that matter.

Does it matter when half the authentic results on any search engine these days always take you to pages with AI content, anyway?

The article says as much. But it’s also definitely both. While the dating app scene has been abysmal for the last 10 years or so, Gen Z is also a lot less sexually active than previous generations were at their age. There’ve been a few reports on how Gen Z is having less sex, and how they have less demand for sex in media because they grew up inundated with sexualized media their whole lives. It’s pretty interesting to see the attitude shift toward sex with the generations.

Their problems, despite their claims to the contrary, do not stem from other people not liking them. Instead, their problems stem from them not liking other people. If you put a femcel and an incel in a room together, they would just sit at opposite corners silently wishing death upon the other.

Not everybody is privileged enough that they can afford to put their morals before their rent, and that’s no fault of their own. You’re upset with the wrong people.

They’re customer support. They’re not making decisions at the company, they’re just trying to pay their bills.

Have we ever come close to running out of pennies? Given that almost every household in the US has an enormous jar full of them, I’d have to imagine that there isn’t even really a need to produce more pennies in the first place.

I remember seeing some neckbeard-ass post on Reddit when the live-action Little Mermaid trailer came out, saying how it wouldn’t make sense for somebody living in that region of the ocean to have dark skin because of the longitude and depth of the water, etc…

Like… You’re really trying to argue the scientific accuracy of… [checks notes] … a fucking MERMAID? Spare everybody the mental gymnastics and just say you don’t like black people.

A bubble bastard. It sounds like a double standard, but it most certainly is not.

I see two in the header image.

If you owe, just wait. Trump will likely dissolve the IRS soon enough, anyway.

What’s insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I’m sure someone at FOX will say “We had no idea he would put this on his site”, which we’ll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.

when will they tackle loot boxes?

Once loot boxes stop buying yachts.

The problem, I find, is that it’s very discouraging to do here. Much of the Fediverse is completely averse to mainstream media/pop culture. Even if you create your own community on your own instance, others will see it in their feed and will downvote it and tell you why they don’t like it. And whether or not those users outnumber the users who would actually want to engage with that type of content, they are definitely the louder group.

Well, after they wash the jizz out of their pants, they’ll probably try to gaslight us into thinking it was just a joke and he was doing a parody and we’re just too dumb and librul to understand.

Sometimes.
