Yes and no: you're right about Vault-Tec, but if we take the TV show as canon (which I vote we do), the guy whose likeness (or at the very least thumb likeness) vault boy is based on was a left wing guy who was horrified to find out how evil Vault-Tec was..

English is MY second language and I understood just fine. I think they're just being willfully obtuse 🤷

A rather agitated one, though

Better:

• Revolut (though a fintech company named after a revolution lacking the charge at the end is still moronic in several ways)
• airbnb (from awful to meh)
• Spotify (same)

Worse:

• Pinterest (original fit the platform and what it is/was pretty much perfectly. Current is meh)
• eBay (both are bad IMO, but at least the original was bad in a playful and eye-catching way. The new one is just more meh
• Burberry (the stag was notable and signalled a history of old-fashioned quality that's suitably rugged. The new one is meh AND insecure about people knowing which London they're from)
• Rimova (yet another fashion brand apparently afraid of being noticed
• DF (from one of the best and most fashion-appropriate logos to an absolute eyesore and kerning nightmare that invites vandalism)
• Jaguar (From absolutely iconic and great in every way to even uglier than the new DF one. I hope whomever came up with that got both fired and beaten and I'm a pacifist.)

The rest just go from meh to slightly different meh 🤷

One of the worst, most unreliable and badly made cars on the market

But enough about Tesla.

And the resulting fascism, of course. 😮‍💨

Ok, I see now that you have no interest in arguing in good faith, so I'm gonna leave you to it rather than wasting any more time on your absolutist credulity. Have the day you deserve.

See? I agree. Landmines should not be used indiscriminately

That's like saying that guns shouldn't be used violently 🙄

The nature of landmines is that of an indiscriminate and long lasting danger. Do you really think that, once the war is one and it's time for civilians to move back to the areas that war has displaced them from, Ukraine is going to dig them all up again?

Because if you do, I have an explosion-proof bridge to Crimea to sell you.

Glad to see we're all on the same page of not demanding that victims meekly submit to genocide in the name of some nebulous and ill-defined moral high ground.

Holy false dichotomy, Batman! Not meekly submitting ≠ doing the same things that you rightly deplore your enemy for doing.

This is some "Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were all great" type nonsense.

Ukraine has already pledged to not use them in civilian areas

Oh they promised, did they? What a relief!

It's not like politicians and diplomats who know that they'll retain the support of the richest countries in the world no matter what would ever break a promise that they made in order to get something that they want!

Just like how Israel has always told the truth to American politicians!

Yes. "Indiscriminately" being the operative word.

Russians butchering civilians doesn't make it ok for Ukraine to emulate them.

No. Got the order wrong. People are working to ban them because they're atrocious. They're not atrocious because people are working to ban them. Don't pretend to be even more obtuse than you already are.

They're atrocious because they can make areas dangerous for anyone to traverse for years if not decades, blowing the limbs off of innocent civilians or making large swaths of land uninhabitable and unavailable to farm without risking death and dismemberment.

Yes they are. That's why 164 countries have signed onto a treaty to ban their use.

With the Hindu-nationalist Modi government in charge? Fat chance!
