Just an anecdotal observation. A very small amount of trucks I see have women driving them. Could be lots of reasons for that but the simplest seems to be that women don't buy them near as often. I don't feel like an offhand remark needs a citation, though you're welcome to look it up if you find the subject interesting enough to warrant further research.

There's not many women who own trucks in general, cyber or otherwise.

You say that but it's a pretty recent development that there was any significant alternatives to Tesla in the American EV space. Even now that is one of the only options for buying used at a reasonable price. That is finally starting to change but for a lot of people between 2018 and now the choice was between buying another ICE vehicle or a Tesla. I don't blame people for overlooking some of Elon's faults in order to help address climate change, especially since the really crazy side of him wasn't widely publicized until two-ish years ago.

There has never been anything on Twitter that couldn't be found elsewhere. It was pointless and outdated from its inception. I hope it dies but it never should have lived.

Are you not picking up on the words we and us when I talk about Americans?

[–] krashmo 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No it's not like that at all. Americans chose this. You're an American. Stop making excuses and accept that this is how the world sees us and we deserve it.

You can be upset with the results of the election but it doesn't change them. In a very real sense what you wanted to happen is irrelevant. A second Trump administration is the collective will of the American people and the rest of the world has every right to be annoyed with us for it.

Perhaps that is why many choose not to participate

It sounds like you're saying we need to bribe our politicians to get them to represent us. Is that what you're getting at? Because I fundamentally disagree with that concept.

If that fact was recently publicized to the point that you could reasonably say it applied to 150 million people then you might have a point

Why? He's not wrong. The description may not fit you or I but it fits enough people that it applies to the general direction of our country. Seems accurate enough to me.

Not for me. Trump is right there most of the time

 

Can we add the option to exclude communities and/or posts that are in a different language than our chosen default? I'm guessing filtering communities would be easier than individual posts but I'm not sure how language would be flagged. I understand some people may want to see some of these posts but even multilingual people must be bombarded with posts in languages they don't speak. I'm getting pretty annoyed that half of my feed is stuff I can't read.

I've looked through the settings multiple times but I suppose it's still possible this already exists and I just missed it.
