"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Fun fact: a replacement windshield for a tesla is on average 1,200 - 2,000 dollars because of their dumb as fuck design

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 23 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Cyberwindshield: $1200

Cyberwindshield wiper: 3 months backorder

Making a Nazi supporter cry: priceless

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I heard the horse cock of a windshield wiper is almost irreplaceable because it's 4 feet long and in limited supply.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's also made significantly more expensive by the fact that it IS an actual cock from a horse.

Purebred only, on Musk's insistence.

Hand picked by the man himself I hear

Inspired by the Bible.

You're not technically wrong since they were just early to the party with driver assistance & Lane departure warning/avoidance systems, but since the USA made those types of systems mandatory for all cars in 2023, most vehicles 2023+ will now have a similar cost.

for context the windshield of a big ass semi truck costs between $65-225 or just 18% at worst or 3% at best
and they're pretty large too

Oh so all that “first principles” design their CEO likes to talk about really just means “reinvent the wheel and sell the prototypes to customers at prototype prices?”

Huh, who would have thunk it?

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (6 children)

For the cybertruck? The design of the others are mostly reasonable, I would assume every replacement part for the cybertruck is much more expensive since it's so fucking ridiculous. I've never had to replace a windshield fortunately so I don't know how much they normally cost.

Gotta be one of the biggest/fastest drops in a company’s stock value since Cutthroat Island opened in theaters.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Which is really upsetting, because that was a good movie and the SNES game was great.

[–] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Movie was fun, it just didn’t do well as far as sales go and it was expensive - so it’s considered a “box office bomb”.

Oh noo, it caused mass terror throughout the country ... when people saw mildly vandalised pre-shitty cars, PTSD for life.

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Plutocracy: Destroy Capitol? Ok. Destroy Capital? Not on my watch!

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So what you're saying is: the only wqy to not be a terrorist is to threaten elected officials until I get my way?

I'm off to be an upstanding citizen.

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can't be any elected official, the waiver only applies toward a specific group.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And you have to belong to a specific group.

Pantone of racism

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

It’s always the opposite with these weirdos.

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

Remember, Trump doesn't say things that are true - or even things he thinks are true - he only says things that he thinks will benefit him to say. So yes, it benefits him to say Jan 6 wasn't domestic terrorism, and that vandalism of his boss' cars is domestic terrorism.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

How many police officers got killed when those cybertrucks got spraypainted?

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago

Such a massive number that you could add several zeros to it and not notice the difference.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 14 points 11 months ago

the difference being private property and public property. only one of those is considered sacred

yeah sums up the vibes on this post. of course fascists are gonna use rhetoric like this to make themselves look good.

what we need is more destroyed teslas and punched nazis.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just a lil' FYI: you can use a marker/pen to draw on slices of cheese before you need to toss them "somewhere" and start another piece.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Cheese? only use American and only in extremely hot areas.

The real joy is using slices of bologna.

Or, if you want to go hard, get some sponges and soak them in acetone. But that's not for Cybertrucks. They need lemon juice and salt. Just mix up a batch and fill a squirt gun.

[–] taxiiiii@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

They're clearly destabilizing the countries integrity by checks notes vandalizing cars! Property damage is obviously much worse than actual violence, so long as the property is expensive enough. /s

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Terrorism only applies to brown or poor people.

If you’re rich you get a free pass to do anything including genocide.

Well then, shouldn't be long before we're all terrorists, seeing as this won't be the end of it.
