I am 100% in that category. I have some aspirations to be in a lifestyle where I catch a lot of my own fish but zero desire to move off animal protein to a vegetarian lifestyle.

I don’t disagree with your general sentiment, but what I see as responses here are often empty responses… Just the obvious “we should stop being terrible arbiters of our planet”. Like no shit, but it’s hard and MOST humans are not gonna ever be vegan/vegetarian unless forced.

My point is, you try to… I try to also, but in the dead of winter there’s no a local fruit and veggies. I’m also not vegan/vegetarian, I eat meat. Fish, and chicken primarily but I don’t raise either, so I have to rely on someone else to do that for me.

We do actually get probably half our eggs from someone at my wife’s work, and some. fruits and vegetables at the farmers market down the street in the summer. But they’re closed now and have been most of winter.

It’s harder than just saying “just stop” was my point. I’d love to be part of the solution where I can but there’s zero chance of me not eating meat if it’s available.

Curious about your diet, and where you get your food? Also curious how that scales to 350 million people (to feed the US)?

I’m not remotely implying what we’re doing, as a society, is right or sustainable but it’s super easy to just say “Just stop doing bad things”.

Solutions, at scale are quite complicated and nuanced. Private companies that grow our food at scale now will only participate if it’s profitable.

Also, if you’re not sustainably growing your own food, are you not just like the rest of us (Part of the problem)? I know I don’t have the land, or time to grow my own food.

Sticking our head in the sand (current administration) is definitely not gonna turn out well, so I’m guessing there’s some fun times ahead! <sigh>

Make elon (Tesla) accountable for accidents/deaths, and I bet they’ll either disable it or make it work (which I think is a long way off).

Straight up heartbreaking…

An incredible run… My best half is exactly an hour slower. And I’m pretty confident I cannot run one 4:20min mile.

Reread what I originally wrote…

I was, in fact, expressing how silly it is for someone to assume the Cybertruck owner was a Nazi or wanting to suck off Elon. That it couldn’t possibly be owned by someone that loves EVs or the Cybertruck for their own reasons not within the narrow narrative associated with someone that would purchase such a vehicle assumed in this thread.

That’s all the more effort I’m putting into this.

Seems a question you’d have to ask the person that bought it, not me.

I think everything about them is stupid. EVs in general do not fit my use case.

I do track days / time trials in my fun car I tow a boat and haul stuff with my truck (sometimes hundreds of miles). I guess if I could have a third commuting car a EV might work, but I use my motorcycle for that whenever possible.

You can have my upvote, but commenting here risks the echo chamber that is Lemmy to attack this comment too.

This place is perfectly OK stooping as low as the “other side”. Our violence is justified, theirs is not. Under no circumstance is the owner of that Cybertruck owned by someone that LOVES EV’s and just loves its looks/capabilities. They absolutely must have bought it because they support Nazi’s, no other reason. Everyone else here is virtuously perfect.

So each ‘side’ of America keeps stepping lower, justifying it by the previous act bringing us deeper into this hell we’re building in real time.

For the record, Elon can go f%$k himself, but under no circumstances am I going to inflict violence/anger on a random AMERICAN going about their day in their stupid Cybertruck.

I’m banking on my 2008 Toyota Tundra will just keep on being a Toyota and not need to be replaced for a LONG LONG time.

Yep, all connected /same garbage IMHO I was a big DSM (Diamond Star Motors) fan back in the mid/late 90’s had a couple AWD Talons.

There’s exactly zero chance I’d buy a car that showed me ads.

There was already zero chance I’d buy a Stellantis vehicle anyway after buying a brand new 1999 Dodge Durango that started rusting out sitting on our garage.

And while they did the bare minimum to remove the rust, but they didnt stand behind it. There was no way we were keeping it or buying anything else from them.

And why the old “ice boxes” are top load only. And why most boat fridges/freezers are top-load, because energy is scares/finite when disconnected from power.

I’m the same but clearly got lazy and either ok’d it or It still snuck past since it was installed on my phone.

Ya, so elon doesn’t care… He’s literally dismantling the united states right now and enjoying every minute of it. Also, anecdotally it still feels like those things (teslas) are everywhere around here. There’s even a few cybertrucks driving around. Saw one on my way home, and another person with one works at a company just down the road.

Our very own Lex Luthor.

And here I am with windows 11 compatible hardware refusing that upgrade. I’m primarily in Linux on my desktop these days, but it dual boots into windows 10.

But, Its got electrolytes
