Or even playing it via Steam using Proton.

We had a Tesla (Model S we bought used for cheap) before Elon went off the rails, and can confirm every bit of that info. Service was a nightmare. My partner had to tell the technician about an active seatbelt recall at one point. We once got an overdue parking ticket in the mail because the shop would just park on the street and not pay. Honestly other than that, the car was fantastic, but little did we know we just won the Tesla lottery and did not get a car with massive problems. After Elon started Elonning, my partner got sideswiped and that totaled the car. Miss the car, but do not miss explaining that we did not agree with anything Elon was doing or saying.

I think the model Y did as well.

Just remember the chair theft

Yeah, WA turned out mostly great across the state. I am sad about 2066, bit was all good other than that. Those initiatives were such a shitty little insidious way to go about it too. Brian Heywood is just Tim Eyeman 2, so get ready for this shot every election

Ah, got it. Could also be my migraine making me not fully get things.

I'm all for mass transit, but there are some jobs that require cars. My partner does home health, for example. She often has to take a lot of bulky durable medical equipment (DME) to a person's home. Even if mass transit existed in all of her territory, transporting DME on it would be prohibative, especially when there are often multiple people that need different pieces of equipment.

Yeah, that is someone that does not know how to make guac if it browns that fast

It can't anymore. Project 2025 will happen, and the guardrails have been removed. Welcome to totalitarianism

Ballotopedia has past years, but I haven't seen any info for this year yet.

I've heard rumors of low turnout, but I suspect it is around 60% based on previous years.

Edit: WaPo says 65% this year. Can't find anyone else reporting on it.

I don’t understand how 51% of Americans can think the “grab-her-by-the-pussy” con artist is the best choice for president.

They don't, but due to a combination of voter disenfranchisement and apathy, voter turnout is usually around 50%-60% max. 2020 was a very large turnout at 66.8%. So 51% of 60% think he is. Still too many, but if we had a way to get every eligible voter a ballot, it would likely be different
