Setting aside the general disdain these communities have for people who drive large vehicles...

I don't think vandalization of personal property is going to win anyone over to support your cause. Protests need to be disruptive to be effective, yes, but I would wager this either alienates people trying to do better, or further radicalizes people actively working against green energy measures.

I'm not totally sure to be honest. I don't have a good solution. People need to be pissed for protests to work. But let's say you convince someone to sell their SUV and get a smaller car That SUV already exists. Probably will sell it to afford the next thing, right? Someone is still driving the thing. There's a carbon cost to The replacement car. My understanding is it's usually best to drive your vehicle for as long as possible (buying an electric car when your current car is fine is worse than just waiting until your current car breaks down, then eventually replacing it). Targeting your protests or energy toward policy change for future vehicle production might be more effective? Again, I don't know.

The golf course one is interrupting a leisure activity, rather than stopping someone's ability to go to work and provide for their family.

But if people came out to go to work and their car has the air let out of the tires, it's going to feel more personally malicious I think, which seems like it could alienate people. Being stuck in traffic because of a protest, well, at least you're stuck as a group?

It is a fine line, to be sure, I'm just not sure where to draw it.

The attitudes on beehaw seem better but it needs more communities. Hoping that as it grows more niche areas will be carved out

Awesomely is my guess lol

Everyone craps on Fortnite but I play it with my son and it's a lot of fun in zero build for me. The battle pass I bought once and just use the vbucks to buy the next one when it comes out.

Well the other choice was Martha McSally. At the time, Sinema seemed like a progressive candidate. She's been incredibly disappointing, but I still think she was better than the other choice.

It's tiring and very frustrating that we are repeatedly faced with that kind of choice in this system, but we had an anti-LGBT, pro Trump, pro military spending option, or Sinema. I still think she was the better choice in the general election.

I wanted to love FF14 and tried it after shadowlands in WoW. But I felt like the entire game was terribly dull. The story felt pretty generic to me, and the cutscenes were sooooo slow (long pauses and generic emotes between lines drives me nuts). But the thing I disliked the most was how samey all the dungeons felt.

I played a WHM for the campaign up until SGE came out and actually enjoyed the way that class played, but the world just felt kinda flat to me.
