The truth is that I don't want too many other EVs on the road because I bought it just to feel superior to others, and I can't do that if everyone else also drives an EV. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Eh, keep your superiority by being proud to be a super early adopter.

I'll have to supplement my vehicle with incredibly smug bumper stickers. (I don't mind being downvoted, but I think I should point out for the sake of not making someone's depressive mood worse that this and my previous comment in this thread were meant to be humorous and I'm not actually this insane. I don't expect my Bolt EUV to seriously impress anyone. I do like driving it though!) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Fwiw I haven't downvoted you, and I think both of these posts are completely fair, taken together. If someone wants to feel smug because they're making the planet better, fuck yeah feel smug, you smug bastard. The actions matter more than the words. permalink fedilink source parent
