> Let's shut down these employee networks based on immutable characteristics.

Each of these networks is open to everyone. You can be straight and a member of the LGBTQ+ network just fine. You can be white and join the Black network too.

The networks exist because people have (and are) the targets of persecution. It's nice to find other people who will understand what that feels like and make connections and advocate for less systematic persecution.

> Consider the type of people that would judge you over a cybertruck.

I think we call those "most people".

> Even Cybertruck struggles to

The cybertruck is built pretty poorly. I think we can use truck stats from reputable automakers.

> There's a reason electric trucks haven't taken off for real work use cases.

When were electric trucks realistically available on the market for a reasonable price?

I use a truck regularly (forestry industry), there's huge desire for them, they just haven't been around until very recently. You can't buy a secondhand ol beatup electric truck yet, so I don't expect them to be taking off yet.

I don't think I've ever understood the motivation behind working for so much money. If I got paid $250M a year, I'd work a year and then live comfortably for the rest of my life pursuing my passions. Even if the thing I was doing for work was my passion, I'm sure I'd prefer to do it without ownership of that work going to someone else.

6,600lb tow capacity. You can dislike a thing, but like, you should probably at least get the facts straight.

Why did you put airquotes around truck? It's got a 60 inch bed and seats 4. What truck quality is it missing?

Welcome to 2025.

It also looks like shit and carries huge social baggage. ;)

A John Deere is absolutely a fashion statement, lol. You gotta meet more farmers, because the fights I see break out over Case IH, John Deere, New Holland, and Cat are unreal.

I think it looks great? It evokes a Kei truck to me, but with more modern styling.

This rules. I hope it succeeds. More smaller vehicles designed for urban spaces please!

I have an outdoor fireplace filled with shattered tempered glass. It's like, rough, chunky glass pebbles.

It's much much more complex that a solid sheet of tempered glass, and it catches the light and reflects it in sparkling ways.

Maybe these so called "complex" diamonds create more interesting light interfaces?

If that was true, you'd expect the younger professionals of today would have comparative amounts of wealth to the boomers when they were young professionals. It's absolutely not the case. Each generation is getting poorer and poorer as they hit the same benchmarks.

This tracks with broad trends of wealth inequality increasing as well.

So no, it's not just "they haven't accumulated yet", because it's not clear they will have the opportunity to do so.

> With age, you get betrayed in your ideals.

Some of us old-heads got pushed much farther left as a result of this. I used to be a Democrat, blue and blue. These days I'm much more like, "The Dems will sell me out to make a buck, I gotta go out and actually be the change I want to see in the world."

Young folks who are experiencing disillusion -- don't give in to despair. You can make a meaningful difference in lives. Build communities, engage in mutual aid, whatever.
