Yeah, if I were a doctor in the US, I'd choose a slight, even moderate, pay cut over getting thrown in prison (if lucky, and not just disappeared) for treating patients who need treatment.

Tesla does not have dealerships in the sense of dealerships being middleman franchises that have their own owners. Tesla is direct to consumer, meaning Tesla owns its stores.

I'm not saying this to negate what you said, rather to emphasize that the "suspicious" sales were not the act of some rogue local dealership owners, they are the actions of Tesla itself.

You might possibly be interested in checking out the YouTube channel MyDeepGuide. Guy does in-depth reviews ofbmostly e-ink writing tablets, which perhaps is more functionality than you're looking for, but some of those manufacturers also do standalone "just" readers. Or maybe you'll be convinced to get a writing tablet :p

For a serious response to your probably hypothetical question, I would give enough leeway to consider mental illness if the attack was truly random and the victim happened to be a hijabi. Of course, that would have to be substantiated with a medical history and what the ("alleged") perpetrator said at the time of the attack, as the article is not specific about that.

I'm saying everyone should have equal freedom to wear the headwear they want to wear or not wear, regardless of whether it's for fashion, cultural, or religious reasons.

As bad as American prisons are, they are not on the scale as being deported (is that even the right word in this case?) to what amounts to a concentration camp in a foreign country without any process.

A little over a year ago, a guy tried to ask me out and I'm the process said a few dumb things in an attempt to impress me. The dumbest of them all was that he was planning to buy a Cybertruck as his next vehicle. By the time he'd said this, I'd already long made up my mind about this guy. Mind, this was the period of time when Elon was just an asshole and hadn't gone full Nazi yet, but even then, this dude's choice of vehicle told me I'd made the right choice.

Theseadays I wonder if that guy ever got his idiot truck, and, whether he did or not, if he's changed his mind about it.

The lesson here isn't "they shouldn't be able to wear headwear, either", but "I should be able to wear headwear, too".

I don't believe nothing will change. I do believe Musk will capture communications and use it to monitor people he believes are his biggest enemies, then use it to best-case blackmail them, worst-case have them arrested in trumped-up (no pun intended) charges.

Random unknown people are being kidnapped, tortured, and sold internationally as slaves by the government. These are the cases we know about because they are getting to the media. How many are not getting through the Right-supporting media? Do we really think actual opponents aren't just waiting targets?

Librarians go to school to learn how to manage information, whether it is in book format or otherwise. (We tend to think of libraries as places with books because, for so much of human history, that's how information was stored.)

They are not supposed to have more information in their heads, they are supposed to know how to find (source) information, catalogue and categorize it, identify good information from bad information, good information sources from bad ones, and teach others how to do so as well.

I had to tell a bunch of librarians that LLMs are literally language models made to mimic language patterns, and are not made to be factually correct. They understood it when I put it that way, but librarians are supposed to be "information professionals". If they, as a slightly better trained subset of the general public, don't know that, the general public has no hope of knowing that.

I never really got into tea because I always found the flavour disappointing compared to its aroma. But I recently tried yerba maté, which isn't a tea but definition, but is similar. It's made from the leaves and stems of Holly and has a strong, bitter flavour that definitely does not disappoint. It's enjoyed in places like Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil. Now I start my day with a mug of coffee, then sip on maté the rest of the day.
