    I use Jebora and am happy, is there something important I’m missing? I was a Reddit is Fun user before and I like both because of how simple and basic they are. I hated the official reddit app for the reasons above.

    Edit: the one thing I don’t like is you can’t, or I don’t know how, to collapse all child comments.

  • This is today’s version of "Eskimos (Inuit, I know, but that’s not how the memes went) have __40 __65 250( insert your number, it won’t be wrong) words for snow. This is for the same reason and is now largely known as wrong.

    The problem is even German people (I live in Germany) also believe that they have a larger more expressive language than (for example) English… When it isn’t true. German has either 5.3 million++ words or 135,000 depending on how you count them. In reality you can endlessly combine words in German together, but it very rarely makes it a “new word”.



  • Tipping is of course a major issue not just in the US, but in many other countries as well. There are a lot of good books written over the years on the subject. One was written by a career waitress that is worth reading and how it leads to the acceptance of sexual abuse of the waitresses.

    It’s fun to think about changing it and everyone just stopping it. If this is an important issue to you try and change it. If no one fights for what is right and progress things will only get worse.



  • Hey, thanks for the pictures! Cologne is certainly a more bike and walking friendly city than America. Although nearly everywhere is better than America (as a whole) for that. This issue is still there though. It’s a classic “the grass is greener on the other side of the fence” problem. That and using absolutes (and only a sith deals in absolutes). For example go to the load screen of the video. The picture on the left (America) - this apartment complex is what is shown in the majority of your photos in cologne. Boring building, economically built. The picture on the right “the rest of the world” is beautiful historical buildings and not representing “the rest of the world” but simply an older style of building.


  • Oh sorry, that’s implied. Row after row, whole neighborhoods of ugly apartment buildings. Many of which are worse than North American apartments, others simular in many ways. You can cherry pick examples on both sides to make an article like this on both sides. I could take you to many tourist areas where you find historical buildings like shown in this article, but it’s not the majority of where people actually live in Europe. The problem that is highlighted is why we don’t make buildings like we used to, which in itself, is flawed.




  • Yes and no. It is not in your face anti EV, that would be too obvious and it does not need to be. Answer a few questions for yourself (don’t worry answering them to me).

    Will this article make people want to buy a EV as their only car?

    Is this article mostly for or against EVs? Would you say it’s 80 or 90 percent about the problems of owning a EV?

    Does this article have fair criticism of gas cars and gas Infrastructure in wild fires? Do they even mention the issues with gas cars and fires?

    Will people question the safety of a EV after reading this?

    They address peoples personal safety while charging, specifically for woman (the most likely buyer of a EV). They talk about back areas, poorly lit places where you are alone and they could be dangerous. How will this make women feel when considering their next car purchase?

    The US like everywhere has a history of nearly 100% gas cars and gas car infrastructure. To have a article pointing out that gas car infrastructure is better than electric vehicles infrastructure is shortly said as no shit, how is that not obvious? So then what’s the point of pointing out the obvious? More importantly what’s the cause of pointing this out? More people will consider not buying a EV. When less people buy a EV there will be less infrastructure for them. See where this is going?

    I get it, you feel like we need to talk about the problem to fix them. But do we? Is this not obvious already? Do we all not know that taking a EV into remote areas and wildfires may not the the best of ideas?


  • EVs are great in 999 ways out of 1000, but let’s find one extreme example of how they may not work perfectly in extreme conditions that won’t happen to the majority of people. There are obvious bias things in the article, as with many anti-EV articles as gas companies pour millions every year into anti-EV articles. Do they mention gas stations are turned off around fires for obvious reasons so gas vehicles also have issues - nope. There are simple obvious solutions around this that are simply not presented.

    It just reminds me of an article that I read everywhere about how a tesla blew up. Nearly every article talked about it like it just spontaneously blew up. Nearly no article mentioned that it blew up after it collided into a huge boulder on the road. Nor did they mention that the driver was totally fine as it caught fire half an hour after the accident. Or the obvious, that gas cars can also blow up but they slam into a boulder at high speeds.
