after enough lived experience, autists have long seen thru that stuff 😏

[i'm old, there's more than enough lol]

but yes, good general advice for the masses

yes I am aware everyone loves the new Leaf and I'm sure Nissan will survive in SOME fashion, but they are technically a going concern

besides, more cheap EVs from brands for people to sample is good

hot take?

watching EV promoters [some are "reporters" but reality is their biases ruin some of that cred] shit on the updated Bolt EV is interesting

turning people off from a well-priced EV that fixed the charging/range equation, the former best excuse to say no, will certainly help adoption!

by the way disappointed at how little the Mets fans have come after us tonight. I was anticipating it and we deserve it lol

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 19h

reading the comments under the Phillies insta tonight and damnit the Dodgers have a class fanbase. majority of comments complimenting the series, the team, but most importantly offering sympathies for Kerkering. MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DISLIKE YOU! That's not fun!

jfc might have to root for them

I'm keeping the last, just changing the first, but one has to do so much administrative crap [and post it in the papers - because archaic rules]. It's not too expensive though.

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 20h

I'm actually starting the process of changing mine!

It's a little harder in the US, but can be done

I know what it's like to have my brain lock up and make a mistake in real time. I refuse to blame him and I'll leave it at that

I'm just sad

Orion is a kid, he's still new-ish, and was in a high stress situation he'd never encountered before. Anyone going after him abusively should chill the f out & get help

We lost, as you said, bc of the $ offense that has plenty of experience & didn't show

Also, the Dodgers are good!

Flyers lost

Not a good sports day for me!

He's gonna win by having a 27 point lead over Max and a 1 point lead over Lando going into the final race, turning off the team radio on lap 1, and taking Lando and himself out.

And I'm gonna enjoy it.
