Hyundai is listening to what consumers want much more readily than other manufacturers, and their body designs strike an incredible balance between modern familiarity and retrofuturism. It's almost exactly what I want from a new vehicle, other than the fact that they use all the same forced telemetry that other brands are using.

They're also offering a great spread of electric AND hybrid vehicles to satisfy consumers worried about charger availability as well as consumers worried about the impact of gasoline-powered vehicles.

I won't be surprised if they continue to increase their market share for a long time to come. If only privacy concerns were as common among the broader population as they seem to be here in the Fediverse, then maybe they might address those issues as well and be a no-brainer purchase.

The birth year range for different generations is fuzzy, but I can't find a single source saying that 2006 or 2007 would be considered gen Alpha. The youngest population that voted in this election is gen. Z, and not all members of Gen. Z are eligible to vote yet.

Bonus points if you buy your Bloc no more than 2 items at a time, from multiple stores, including thrifting, and using cash for at least half of it.

However, the economy being good is not often actually good for the customer. It's just a slowing down of things getting worse.

You're right, I'm sorry. I would advise you not to eat nothing but Chicken McNuggets

Something tells me he was also getting fiber, vitamins, and minerals from somewhere during that time, so unless you have a dietician on call to help you balance that out, don't eat nothing but Chicken McNuggets.

Total asceticism isn't sustainable. Indulge in things that bring you joy, and recognize that over-indulgence cheapens the experience and has other drawbacks. Find the balance that works for you, otherwise you're just sacrificing mental health for physical.

I feel like they're not very comparable. Production really screwed over Halo in a way that never could have happened to Fallout because of how protective of the IP Todd Howard was. Only time will tell if the same issues plague Mass Effect as did Halo.

There was a political realignment after the civil war where the democrat and the republican parties switched roles as liberals and conservatives.

Now there's a factual realignment, where reality and satire switch which one is absurd and which one is correct when taken at face value

Too complicated for 90% of voters to comprehend.

They saw: Democrat president made my groceries more expensive

They heard: Democrat replacement will do things around the same as they used to be. Republican guy is going to do things VERY differently.

And the herd mentality took over past that point

And the slim but heavily armed majority of this country will definitely see that as legally justified self defense and have no choice but to accept it peacefully! Right?
