Here's my perspective, but it might be pretty wrong:

I think the reason for the low demand is due in large part to the pre-existing gas industry, at least in the US. Not just because of marketing advertising gas-powered more, but also because people don't like to change, and buying a new car is not cheap. Not to mention that the US infrastructure is so heavily solidified in gas. It's just easier to continue buying gas-powered because it's already so supported across the country. Then the industry benefits from this because they can say, "oh, huh, looks like people still want gas-powered! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" and so the cycle repeats.

I think a lot of people don't really understand how much power corporations really have over what the people do or don't do, like or don't like, etc.. 99% of the time people will take the easy option, and corps take advantage of that by making the easy option the cheapest and best for themselves instead of what's best for the people. Corporations only do what's right for them, and are masters of making it out to be that that's what the people want.

I still remember, back when Diablo 3 was doing a public technical test or something, a friend of mine and I were very excited to get in and give it a try. We took a look at the heroes, and I decided on male Monk while he selected female Barb. I named mine something random, I don't remember what, but my friend thought for only a moment before naming her "Snoo-snoo".

Later that day, we went to the D3 subreddit to see what people thought, and there was a post titled "The 10 commandments of Diablo 3" and one of them was "Thou shalt not name thy female barbarian " Snoo-snoo". We had a good laugh.

All good! "Fell" is the past tense of "fall". Aternatively in some cases you could say "did fall", though in modern English that's usually used as an affirmative to a question about the fallen status of the chocolate (e.g. [which is short for the Latin "exemplia gratia" , meaning "for example"], Question: "Did the chocolate fall?" Answer: "Yes, the chocolate did fall" or "Yes, it did fall").

There are actually other (irrelevant) meanings of the word "fell"; as an adjective in "a fell beast" for example, "fell" means "fierce, cruel, terrible, or dreadful"; or as a verb meaning "to knock, strike, shoot, or cut down; cause to fall" for example " to fell a moose" or "to fell a tree."

Let me see if I understand:

 

Blue and red vase don't like each other and are about to fight

Red vase smashes blue vase, killing him. Man in the background sees.

Man is sad about red vase smashing blue vase, red vase doesn't care.

Man tells red vase ~~he is trash~~ if he keeps smashing other vases and being hateful, he's going in the trash, red vase doesn't care.

Man tells red vase he loves him, red vase doesn't care.

Red vase tells man he hates him and the blue vase.

Man smashes red vase.

Man puts red vase in the trash. In the background there's a picture of red, blue, and yellow vase, and a big picture of red vase (going by shape).

 

Did I miss anything?

Do you feel like you're a worse person for learning about porn at such a young age? I also learned about porn around that age (2nd~4th grade) and I feel like it had no impact on my life whatsoever as an adult.

The funny part of the post is referring to "teaching crabs how to read" as "forbidden knowledge"
