    Alternate second frame:

    Car salesman in ambulance headed to the hospital because a giant piece of steel that’s GLUED to the car came loose and sliced him.

    The schadenfreude on this one is the only good thing for a while. I have an idiot friend who was preaching leftist philosophy to me a few years ago, but who also bought a Tesla right before Christmas. He’s a shitbag.

      Are they a shit bag for preaching philosophy? Or for buying a Tesla? Or are they just a shit bag and do those things.

      Not sure I would think anyone a shit bag for political leanings if mis informed unless those leanings are dangerous to others.

      Not sure I would think anyone a shit bag for buying a car

      Not sure I would be friends with an idiot shit bag - If irregardless of car or leanings they are just shitty.

        Obviously they are a shitbag for betraying their insincere beliefs and propping up Elon. Not as obvious, it’s because they want a status symbol. I kinda stopped talking to the idiot after he wouldn’t stop bragging about that Swasticar.

          Okay so because the beliefs were contradictory. Yeah a lot of the Bernie bros went to X and sort of melted their brains.

          But I will say it’s tough to have good choices anymore.

          I value people over everything and want a future that has more freedoms not less.

          But like I purchased a pair of pants the other day that can be traced to Chinese camps. And my phone was built by kids. So fuck me I guess.

          I am outspoken of my beliefs to do right by people. So have to contend with every instance of hypocrisy I also exist within. No good choices when the world is built on blood and genocide lol.

          Am not disagreeing with you - and think Tesla avoidance is a proper thing right now. The totals of grievances have hit a threshold for sure.

          Especially if socially conscious. Or preaching those beliefs. And buying anything for status is already an interesting stance. Hope you find some better friends. I’m on the hunt for them myself hahaha. Tough these days.

            Thanks. I appreciate your perspective. So other context on this friend – they kept wanting to talk about “dei hires” a couple years ago. I tried to be patient and help them with that toxic thinking but I made no progress. They were convinced they lost their job to a “dei hire”
