In the same way some galaxies showing no signs of dark matter, makes the evidence of dark matter's existence even stronger.

The love I have for my trans brothers and sisters is made even stronger, knowing that I can hate this vile woman for reasons completely unrelated to gender.

Assuming you arrived with a full charge, you could definitely provide rudimentary power for a couple homes for a day or two.

Seeing how these things like to catch fire after they are submerged, I would be very worried about taking them into a flooded disaster area.

Residents of Asheville with an electric car can hook their stuff up to it, they should be sharing it with their neighbors, but I'm not sure driving from California is going to be much help.

Cybertruck battery is around 123 kilowatt hours. Your average fridge takes 4 kilowatt hours over the course of a day.

Theoretically one cybertruck with enough extension cords and splitters, could power a handful of fridges for a couple days. Power fans or small AC units. And still have enough to get back to it charging station.

It's better than nothing, but you're also adding to the burden of rescue workers in the area. They already have to feed and take care of the residents, they don't want to have to take care of people providing mobile batteries.

If you live within a couple dozen miles of the affected areas it might be useful. Any farther than that and you're just going to be a burden.

Not unless you strap a generator to the back.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone to be as brave as the young woman running at Taylor Swift fan Twitter account.

I don't know about you, but if a fascist government demanded I partake in ethnic cleansing, I would simply refuse.

People who say "two state solution" can be broken down into three camps:

The ignorant. Been told "two state solution" for so long they believe it is the best outcome, but know nothing about the material conditions. - your well meaning but brainworm riddled Aunt.

The realist. Knows "two state" is bullshit. Doesn't want to reveal their power level and scare normies. Might parrot the phrase for rhetorical reasons, but understands the reality of the West Bank. - every Palestinian activist who says "two state" on a public forum, at least when cornered.

The dog of Empire. Knows "two state" is bullshit, might not consciously acknowledge it, but if pressed will admit it. Uses it to justify occupation (Palestine isn't a state yet) and as a carrot to trick people into thinking they are reasonable. "I think, two states is the best solution, but . . . ." - the US State Department, and every white man whose profile pic shows them driving a pickup truck while wearing sunglasses

In my anecdotal opinion, the ones I interact with most online are dogs of empire. Most "average" people are just ignorant. Although after funding and supporting a genocide for a year my sympathy for the ignorant has been exhausted.

One is less than two, and an important step on the way to 0.

I remember arguing with someone In 2003 that there must be WMDs because George Bush wouldn't risk his re-election if he couldn't produce them.

I will never forget how incredibly stupid I felt in '04.

This is one of those "sophomore" things.

Where a very basic answer, could be yes. The more complex and nuanced answer is no. But at the end of the day if you asked an expert they would say, in a nutshell, yeah.

See also, slavery in the civil War. Was the war fought to end slavery? yes.

If you want to be pedantic it didn't start off as a war of liberation and there's quite a bit to say about treatment of black people in the North, and the slave states that were still part of the Union during the war.

But the end of the day if you had to answer with yes or no, the answer is "yea"

Wasn't there a quote from an Ansarallah leader who said he feels bad every time he sees one of these drones because he knows that it was millions of dollars that could have gone to poor people in America, instead of a useless machine of death?

Imagine thinking, "I prefer women with a the body of a malnourished 12-year-old boy"

And still claiming to be a straight man.
