Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Take a group of people who grew up without the need for any technical skills, put them in a car that is wildly complex and this is what you get.

I'm no fan of overcomplicated stuff, but if you own something like this, it is your problem to educate yourself on how it works and how to deal with issues and failures or get used to being bent over any time you have to pay an adult to rescue you.

Also, I don't own a Tesla, but I looked it up and there should be multiple warnings on the display about a failing 12v battery as well as messages via the app. I'm going to guess that they were ignored in this case.

Of course, the owner "still loves the car!" to further drive home the fact that he's a moron.

I'm going to guess you work in some form of tech. If not, perhaps you should seek a career change because techbros love your attitude.

Me? I'm the diametric opposite. My devices work for me, not the other way around. If they fail at this, they get trashed.

Automobiles have had their UX smoothed out and nigh-perfected. It takes an arrogant tech twat to think that they know more than every design engineer who lived over the past century.
