They see it as pragmatism, I think.

It's banning porn.

That is circular reasoning, it's not the actual definition of "liberal", even if it is the functional definition of "Democrat".

Do you consider Kamala Harris a liberal?

That's a good punch-up. I'm in!

Even with that, the scariest part of the Borg originally was that they were just this undifferentiated swarm.

Criticism still needs to be based on something real in order for it to be valid.

And yet, in the end, yours only amounts to what you consider "likely".

Let's hold up on the self-congratulations a second.

There's a very long way between a multinational corporation's published policy and the practice at street-level, even if yesterday is the only report (so far). Is this a franchise? What authority does the store have contractually, or in practice? Is the policy enforced? Is there a history of enforcement? Was this a rogue employee, maybe a recent hire, with a political motivation?

Did you check the original thread https://x.com/AmmahStarr/status/1804608613916328334 for the context of the discussion? Did you check the account for a history of "rage-bait" before dismissing this woman's experience?

Skepticism is important, but caping for corps is seldom necessary. They pay people for that.

I hear you, too many are SUVs or "crossovers" (still "light trucks" for the purposes of scamming gov't regulations) as well.

But I'm pretty happy with my Leaf. 🤷

Somebody is really pushing an anti-EV narrative.

SNW is so good I'd sooner toss TOS if forced to choose (which I'm not). The musical episode is vastly better than Turnabout: Intruder.
