Let's just say that you're sounding very American.

American culture, and I'm generalising, there are a million sub cultures obviously... Emphasises the individual. The American dream of you working hard to get some payoff, is an example. As such there is a lot of cultural pressure to not correct people when you are in conversation, it's more polite and acceptable to play along. Their stupid ideas, their problem.

And that's where Americans (again I'm generalising) are weakest here. Because stupid ideas are everybody's problem. Because once people go off-the-deep-end there is no easy way of getting them back. And a large amount of people involved in conspiracy fantasy is legitimising it.

So no Americans are not more prone to conspiracy fantasy, but American culture does permit fast growth of ideas. MLMs are another example of this. You can use cultural taboos and cultural elements to sell bullshit.

Look at what the justice Democrats have done. They put highly progressive people in power. It's not a simple task.

You have to find the right candidates to put the money behind. Cover the expenses and make sure they can put all their time in their campaign.

It's a reference to an attitude that is prevalent in conspiracy fantasy circles. It's a deflection of ownership of ideas to lend them more credibility, it's not actually about researching anything. There is no discussion about research conclusions or facts. there is discussion, but it's the exact opposite of research, it looks like, what questions give the right answers and how to connect the conclusions to the data. What they mean by saying 'research' isn't what it actually means. Conspiracy fantasy wants you to stumble upon coincidences to lure you into their worldview.

It's the only way I can listen to music in my car. I could upgrade, but I don't need to because I have the jack.

Sounds like a lot of work

It's going to open a tab in the browser while closing the app. That's more trouble than I wanted.

In order to make the break light visibly stand out from the light bar that goes across the back of the car, they turn off two sections of the bar on the left and right of the centre, leaving a portion of the light bar lighted in the centre.

Normally car manufacturers treat the light bar as a running light, and they add a seperate 'third' brakelight. Clearly at Tesla they didn't want to alter the design, and this weird solution fits the wording of the government mandate. It doesn't fit the spirit, but they got away with it.

And it's ironic because in every other bit of safety, like crash protection, rollover protection. Tesla is a leader in the market, their cars are incredibly safe. Tesla really cares about you when you bought a car, they don't really care about safety in general. Sums up Musks attitude.

There is less light during braking instead of more, or brighter.

True, my dad calls food "spicy" and breaks out in a sweat when I put black pepper on.

While sure, there is leverage, but it's not like Spotify is being arbitrary about their content. I can listen to obscure stuff, and I do. Also don't forget that big artists are often big for a reason and it's usually not for a lack of talent, taste just varies but certainly there always is a market for 'pop music'.

And we're the pawns
