    Since when is it liberal to be opposed to Russia? It’s been a conservative Western policy since the Cold War.

    You said “directly responsible,” which means all or most of the blame in a given situation. No one uses American English to claim something is directly responsible but not also majority responsible.

    Also, I never even actually said that you claimed the US was solely responsible. I just said Russia was solely responsible, because they chose to invade. If you’re conceding you meant the US is solely responsible though and are walking back that inane argument, understood, but maybe just stop licking Putin’s boot and go read a history book for fucks sake.

    Yeah I wonder why, maybe it’s because they are directly responsible for the current war.

    Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is responsible for the current war. Stop drinking the commie kool-aid.

    You can whine about NATO and geopolitics all you want, at the end of the day Russia could simply have chosen not to invade Ukraine and NATO would not be dumping the entire alliance’s 40 year stockpile into the conflict.


  • Honestly it doesn’t feel too far to me, and I generally detest doxxing as a tactic.

    We trust and depend on journalists to expose and spread the truth and tell the stories people should see, but it’s never supposed to be at the expense or exploitation of vulnerable people. It’s one thing to expose the personal details of say, a hypocritical politician, but putting an individual’s life at risk just to spice up a story seems to violate most journalistic ethics I’m familiar with.





  • Sealing the vehicle appears to have been another challenge, which is an important element for keeping both weather and noise out of the cabin. “There are a number of areas that we do not have a clear path to sealing,” the documents reportedly says.

    Holy shit. I actually know a thing or two about this, and I’m very curious how they ended up in that kind of situation. It’s got to either be they manufacture the vehicle in such a way it’s difficult for robots to reach the welds, or… I wonder if they didn’t think they’d need to seal at all???


  • Eh, to be fair, in 2019 Rivian was as much of a force as Tesla was. That year Tesla only had a Cybertruck prototype, but so did Rivian - in fact, they unveiled theirs two years prior in 2017. It then took them three years to stand up their factory and begin mass production, which they’ve done.

    The Cybertruck isn’t really too comparatively behind schedule relative to Rivian. It’s not like Tesla had spare capacity at their existing factories, so they also needed to build a new one.

    Elon probably thought he could save a lot of time by building a truck that didn’t need a full paintshop, and easy to stamp and weld in body shop. Of course, despite the added cost of complex steel/aluminum body panels and paint shops, these are well understood processes, with literally hundreds of thousands of people familiar with them in North America. Comparatively few know how to make a stainless steel vehicle.
