Mental autocorrect gets us far too often. We feel silly.

We are too lazy to look up the value of used Teslas compared to this time last year, but we sure hope it's a major drop.

SOMEONE's been leaving this flyer on parked Teslas.

KEEP IT UP!

#tesla, #swasticar, #elonmusk, #loneskum

A flyer left on a Tesla, that reads:
SORRY ABOUT YOUR SWATICAR
We know-you didn't sign up for this.
Once upon a time, Teslas were cool.  They were futuristic, fast, and felt like a step toward a better world. No noe could have predicted that Elon Musk would go full Nazi-apologist. And now, here you are, driving around in a rolling PR disaster.
But don't worry - there's still time to get out before the resale value crashes harder than Twitter.
HOW TO ESCAPE YOUR TESLA FASTER THAN ELON CAN LOSE ADVERTISERS:
-Sell it ASAP: Prices are dropping. Get ahead of the wave by listing it on Carvana, CarMax, or local EV buyback programs. Check Tesla resale values daily.
-Lease? Transfer it! Sites like SwapALease and Lease Trader  help you hand off your lease to someone who hasn't read the news lately.
-Trade it in: Some dealerships will still take a Tesla, especially if you're getting into a different EV.
BETTER EV OPTIONS (THAT WON'T AGE LIKE A BAD TWEET):
-Hyundai Ioniq 5 & 6 
-Rivian R1S & R1T
-Polestar 2 & 3 
-Ford Mustang Mach-E 
-Anything NOT associated with a guy who tweets "great point" at white nationalists

You bought your Tesla in good faith, thinking it was the future. It's not your fault. But now, the best move is to leave it in the past - before the only buyers left are alt-right influences and guys who say "actually, free speech" every 10 minutes. 

Good luck! Act fast!

Yes, but hopefully we would find you on a hike and we could feed a bunny some snacks.

The irony of our timeline updating halfway through reading this because we had the audacity to stop and take in the importance of this.

Even the software is trying to silence women.

Why is cocksucker pejorative when that is one of the most generous acts one can perform on another?

Language is odd.

There should be a bot that scans for toots starting with "there should be a", and tells the tooter to do the thing

A decade later and people still don't realize that changing passwords regularly is less secure. People just change the last letter/number every time or they record their passwords in a document, likely not secured. Many just put them on sticky notes under the keyboard (yes, many. We saw this daily in IT).

A quality password of reasonable length is uncrackable. Just stick with one good unique password for each login.

Basically, you don't tell people they are trans. You let them figure it out on their own.

Like Trek's Prime Directive, there are times it is better to ignore it. I wish I had known many years ago. Everything I have learned about myself and the rest of this system in the last 5 years should have been learned 25 years ago. Not being told limited our life.

Our entire youth we felt wrong. Someone should have told us. It's good to recognize if a person is not ready to hear it, but that doesn't mean they can't be gently nudged towards their true selves.

But we do understand the concern. Had someone told us 25 years ago, Alyx would have driven us so deep into the closet with fear that we never would have come out.

It has its purpose, but like The Prime Directive, there are times to ignore it, and those times are more common than we expect.

The worst part people assume is that we don't want to do the thing. Sure, sometimes that is true, but just as often we desperately want to do the thing, but we just can't. It it awful!

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD:

• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t

Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.

I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.

Parents of Neurodivergent children, please help!

My ND son is starting to notice that other people have friendships and social activities that he is not a part of. He doesn't have those kinds of friendships. It is breaking his little heart, and I am in Dad Panic mode. He is excluded, and both myself and my partner (both also ND) have no experience or useful input to help.

We feel so powerless. Could someone with experience please offer some advice?

Please boost.

We've simply gone back to piracy. Once Sony announced they were getting rid of physical media, it became clear piracy was the only logical choice.

We stopped pirating things regularly 20 years ago. Now we have started again. It seems these companies don't like money. *shrug*
