If that means we can potentially hack it so create our custom fuel mapping, then I’m 100% down.

Don’t blame our gun problems on mental health. It’s much less complex than that. It’s just too easy to get a gun in America.

I’m just a product of a bad government.

I know this couple. They had a restaurant together. They employed people. They contributed to the community.

The pregnant mom was shot 4 times in their car by a random guy who just wanted to go to jail forever.

So yes, you’re right. We are not always catching stray shots. Sometimes it’s random murders in broad daylight.

I don’t need anything. Nobody needs anything except for water, food and shelter. But hear me out.

My last vehicle was purchased in 1999. It is a small 2 seater coupe with 2 tiny tiny seats in the back. I have replaced the engine 2 times and transmission once. Parts are now getting hard to come by and my family needs are growing. We like camping and each time we rent a vehicle. We are constantly trying to figure out how to move our things in my tiny car. It’s a chore to drive a small car with a family.

It’s 24 years and I feel like I have already done my part in reducing my carbon footprint.

So when looking for my next vehicle, I wanted a bigger vehicle to go camping and carry equipment to my kids practice.

I want reverse charging for my home, so my options are limited. Ford F150 and Cybertruck. Another selling point for the Cybertruck is that it’s bulletproof against handguns. That’s kinda nice knowing that if someone started shooting into my vehicle, we might survive.

I like the Rivan. The major gripe I have with it is the price. I can’t justify it over the Ford F150 lightning.

I had a down payment for a Cybertruck and I passed on it when my number was called even tho my son is in love with it and I need a new vehicle.

I put money where my mouth is. Fuck that guy

Today is our National Day, which is the day China(modern day Taiwan) defeated the last emperor (Qing dynasty).

Basically it’s our Independence Day.

Most of us are willing to give our lives for our Independence.

This sounds like a rhetorical question.

I’m in Taiwan and I’m just a single voice. Lai isn’t wrong. Our republic is longer, but early Taiwan was pretty shitty. They continued that shittiness the nationalist was doing back in the mainland up until the 90s when we had our first Democratic elections.

Today’s Taiwan was nothing like the nationalist that proceeds it. We are actively taking down our old monuments of our forefathers because it was truly a bad time in our history.

Today’s Taiwan is freaking amazing. An active government that cares about the people. Policing is done by people in the community. A school system that cares about each student and their well being. A high tax on big businesses and a low entry barrier for small businesses.

I had a school counselor come to my door because I was not picking up random phone calls. She brought cookies and school stationery and wanted to make sure my son was ready for grade school.

I invite anyone to come visit and experience Taiwan on their own.

It would be crazy. Syria, Iran and Venezuela depend heavily on Russia. Those regions would become more unstable, if that is even possible.

China would now border Ukraine and China would treat Ukraine as a threat since they have close ties to the west.

Russia has a UN seat. Would Ukraine just inherit it? If not then there would be some tensions.

This is just what’s on top of my head. Probably more complexities.

I’m sad for people in FL. So much misinformation and that swirl is nonstop. Ukraine should just take over Russia and then we only need to worry about China.

And a massive amount of electoral votes.

Seriously. I feel the same way about Florida

My brother in law who was ultra pro China moved to Houston and turned into an American fundie. The entire state should just leave.

Very true.

Tankies praise China and the Soviet. He’s from Texas. I think he’s just brainwashed.

This guy has a master in mechanical engineering and is self teaching himself Rust l. Dude isn’t dumb. Just misguided and brainwashed.

I’m going to give this guy the benefits of a doubt. He sounds more misguided and brainwashed wrapped into a heavy dose of tribalism.

I watched a bunch of YouTube videos of a psychiatrist talking about Trumpism and how to undue the brainwashing. I’m going to continue to hang out with him to see if I can wake him up.

他一句都不會講

I live in Taiwan and met a guy yesterday who is moving to Taiwan because Austin is a “liberal hell hole”.

When pressed on any issues about Trump, his answer was that Biden is worse than Trump. When I asked about Harris, he just mentioned she will just copy Biden.

The funny thing is that Taiwan is by far more liberal and more progressive than Austin Texas. He seemed to like the universal healthcare and the many social services. He didn’t mind the high corporate taxes companies have to pay.

My assessment is that he is only basing his vote on vibes and feels alone. Judging from the conversation, he is more of a Bernie supporter.
