Which is exactly why Europe needs to ditch American companies. The fact they’re bound to obey such a corrupt president means Europeans, especially governments using Microsoft is a direct liability to all of Europe.

Your parents did right. Nobody wants the old Costanza wallet syndrome https://youtu.be/9sz2HDRJkUQ

I think it’s also the old hub and spoke model where American companies open shops in Canada to get market access and bypass certain regulatory requirements that apply to international firms. So the Canadian subsidiaries are spokes designed to extract wealth FROM Canadians rather than the “hub” in the US where all the investment money goes.

Same with Canadian companies that are bought by American conglomerates. They usually just become spokes rather than companies meriting innovation investment in their own.

Not really, it’s just that no one invests in Canada. I don’t have a full story as to why, but the data points directly to a low investment rate into technology in Canada. It’s super shitty and I’m sure someone is profiting from the money that would have been invested.

None of those. I don’t disagree that they USED TO BE the best electric cars.

But that’s in the past. There are very few markets where Tesla has the most market share anymore in 2025. It’s not just because of protests, they’re just not that great compared to the competition anymore. The trend has been worsening for years and Tesla hasn’t brought anything new to counter it.

Inferior car? Tesla has some of the weakest reliability metrics in the industry which is shocking considering electric drivetrains are far more reliable than ICE.

Modern electric car manufacturing has far surpassed what Tesla can provide at any price point (range, reliability, comfort, you name it) unless you still believe FSD is coming in “just 2 more years bro, and it’ll be free and backwards compatible”

As long as Elon owns any stake in Tesla buying a Tesla is spring Nazis.

Don’t compare the income of the rich and the poor. We use our take home pay to buy groceries. They use their take home profits to buy our country out from under us, to buy our land and our companies, to buy our politicians, to buy our time. We are not the same.

Wait… We’re still arresting people for hate crimes?

From recent news I thought committing hate crimes and war crimes should get me a political appointment! I must be doing this wrong.

Yeah, it’s like the other commenters all identified that Lemmy is based on communities not users, but stopped JUST SHORT of coming to the right conclusion. Community QR codes!

Yeah maybe I missed the /s but I just wanted to show that body shaming and genital mutilation is fucked up and society’s (patriarchy) acceptance of it against men is pretty shitty overall. It would be much better if nobody got body shamed or mutilated non-consentually.

This is exactly it. Hurting things, destroying things, these are pleasurable behaviours. Look at how young children play, how we have to teach them to be gentle with animals until they can develop enough empathy to be trusted.

Empathy is what counterbalances the pleasure of sadism. If you feel bad you hurt something, that’s a pain that is much greater than the pleasure a normal person gains from sadism.

Some people, on purpose or by accident, have shitty empathy.

Yeah, I love how everyone loves “big dick energy” and “small dick energy”, but if someone said “loose pussy energy” and “tight pussy energy” it’s practically a hate crime lol.

Russia is trying Israel’s moves. Hospitals and journalist families next!

More people were killed in the firebombing.

The theory that more people would have died of the nukes weren’t dropped is FAR from settled fact. The Japanese were already looking to surrender and it’s not likely the bomb played a big part in that decision.

Regardless it’s nothing to get banned over, that’s for sure.
