How about Cybercab and its robotaxi service? They are starting in Austin this June. That seems very immediate on the horizon

You may feel that they go unapposed and therefore you should be a countering force, but really your efforts are moot. People have their beliefs that won’t be changed online, at least not from some internet stranger. You can make the best arguments in the world and the opposition will simply ignore your point, move the goalposts, and implement the next logical fallacy to keep proving you “wrong” or “an idiot”.

Some could be low investment (~2%) if it is an S&P 500 index fund, but others that rely more on tech/growth stocks could be 5-10% or more. Retirees in drawdown phase (withdrawing 4% annually, or $9,000-$10,000) are extra vulnerable to sequence-of-returns risk—early losses lock in lower balances. A boycott-driven Tesla slump in 2025 could force sales of depressed assets, amplifying losses.

Funny how the people who want to tank Tesla are causing self injury. 401(k) accounts and nearly every major retirement fund are invested into $TSLA. These dumb shits think they are doing something for the world because “Orange man bad, and now Elon bad” and they get to reap the rewards of reducing their own retirement accounts. Well-done.

Could have said the same thing about first iPhone and digital cameras and mp3 players. But this doesn’t necessarily mean they will charge a ton more for it. This is more about R&D.

This happened to me at the start. I contacted support and they said it would resolve after the next billing date. It did and it works great now!

What do you hope to gain from leaving one Facebook to join another Facebook? Break the addiction. Free yourself from needing this in your life.

Same. I’ve found my spark again in VR gaming and generally go to the arcade style more! Ain’t nobody got time for a 10 tier skill tree

Not sad about the iPad Pro situation, there’s hardly enough to utilize the M2 or above in them.

One answer could be for you to learn and practice philosophy alongside your learnings of world news. In particular, stoicism and stoic philosophy can allow you to watch these external events and consider them as they are, but with the understanding that these things reside outside of your control which preserves your feelings and self from being affected by them. It really brings more power to you through anything you go through or experience.

Philosophers Who Addressed This Question

1.) Albert Camus

• Work: The Myth of Sisyphus (1942)

• Argument: Camus argues that life is absurd, meaning it is full of suffering and chaos without inherent meaning. However, he suggests that one can resist despair by embracing life with defiance and by finding meaning through action and creativity.

• Example: Camus likens human existence to Sisyphus, who is condemned to roll a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down. Camus proposes that we must “imagine Sisyphus happy,” finding joy in the act of persistence itself rather than in outcomes.

2.) Martha Nussbaum

• Work: Upheavals of Thought: The Intelligence of Emotions (2001)

• Argument: Nussbaum defends the idea that emotions like compassion and anger can be powerful motivators for justice but need to be tempered with rationality and self-care to avoid burnout. She advocates for a philosophy of practical engagement, where one maintains emotional investment in the world while creating boundaries to protect one’s mental well-being.

• Example: Nussbaum might suggest that instead of being overwhelmed by global problems, you focus on one specific issue you can influence—channeling compassion into tangible actions.

3.) Viktor Frankl

• Work: Man’s Search for Meaning (1946)

• Argument: As a Holocaust survivor, Frankl emphasizes the importance of finding purpose even in the face of suffering. He argues that meaning can be found in how we respond to suffering, whether through action, creativity, or how we endure hardships.

• Example: Even when facing immense global crises, Frankl might suggest asking, “What specific actions can I take to create meaning and contribute positively, no matter how small?

No it does not. They have an ordered thyroid panel and that’s it. They will not sneak in a drug screen against your consent. Besides, thyroid is a blood draw and drug screens are urine based. Blood drug screens are more expensive.

Well other than that though nothing else has changed except colors! So we get to sit another year or more with an aged out product
