If you average 10 mph on a bike, it’d be over 120 miles each way. If you have to spend like 5 or 6 hours each day just commuting, you probably should just move closer to your work.

I might be a little out of the loop. Is that like… a mother?

Only if you remember your PIN number.
No matter what you purchase under capitalism, you are supporting bigotry and oppression to some degree. There is no escaping it. So instead of arguing about the arbitrary line at which the degree of separation is far enough removed before you can enjoy something without guilt, maybe start talking about actually dismantling the system that allows them to oppress others to begin with?

I’m a little confused why you suddenly want to start drawing lines about what’s ethical.
Yeah, let JK Rowling do the entertaining, it was kind of her job.
In February 2023, Rowling participated in the podcast The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling, hosted by former Westboro Baptist Church member Megan Phelps-Roper and produced by Bari Weiss’s The Free Press. The show purported to add more nuance to the controversy surrounding Rowling, but in practice it mostly served as another pulpit for the author. Part of the draw was that Rowling gave a forthright interview on her beliefs about trans people for the first time. “I believe, absolutely, that there is something dangerous about this movement and that it must be challenged,” she said.
She then compared trans people to Death Eaters, the evil collective in the Harry Potter books that are often read as a Nazi analogue. “Some of you have not understood the books. The Death Eaters claimed, ‘We have been made to live in secret, and now is our time, and any who stand in our way must be destroyed. If you disagree with us, you must die,’” Rowling said. “They demonized and dehumanized those who were not like them.”
“I am fighting what I see as a powerful, insidious, misogynistic movement that has gained huge purchase in very influential areas of society,” Rowling continued. “I do not see this particular movement as either benign or powerless, so I’m afraid I stand with the women who are fighting to be heard against threats of loss of livelihood and threats to their safety.”

We can all laugh at the pure fiction she invents, and quietly ignore how the money we give her affects the world around us.
It’s rarely so cut and dry how the money you spend will be used to hurt people. And it’s also rare for such visible harm to be tied to something so unnecessary. You can move on from this 20 year old children’s book, I’m sure it’ll be okay.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that happened after Trump was reelected, meaning there were four whole years of Biden as president where it never happened.
Maybe you should just accept the fact that you have a very unusual driving pattern and understand that general advice doesn’t apply to you specifically.
Most people would be absolutely fine recharging an electric car overnight. If you know that doesn’t apply to you, maybe don’t be so offended when someone says that it’s fine or even better for the average person.
300 miles was almost a full tank of gas for me in my ICE car. If you’re driving that far for that long all at once, you should probably take a half hour to stretch your legs and walk around a little anyways. Or we could improve inter-city train networks so you wouldn’t have to drive at all.
More importantly, he should have been charged for all the crimes he did in his first term. Shouldn’t have even been able to run from his prison cell, or at least not between all the court cases he’d need to be worrying about.
If they made the batteries go from zero to full in the same time as it takes to fill a gas tank
You really don’t need this though. How long is your car sitting idle when you’re at work or at home? Most people can just charge overnight and would never have to go to a charging station. Assuming you have access to an electrical outlet near your car, of course.
Gas should be more expensive. Just look at all the new cars being sold that only get like 30 mpg, or our crumbling infrastucture because gas taxes are so low, or the impending climate catastrophe.
At least they’re (hopefully) all into it and consenting
As far as I know, that only applied to their talk shows, like tucker carlson’s old show before he got them sued by the dominion voting machine company.
As far as I can tell, car chargers are all over the place but often hidden away in the back of parking lots. And a lot of chargers require you to make an account or download an app.
Iran said it was retaliation for the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus on 1 April,[17] which killed two Iranian generals.
Iran claimed that the attack was an act of “self-defense”[19][20] in retaliation for Israel’s assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan.
Does it change anything if both of those attacks were after an Iranian embassy was bombed and an assassination in Iran’s capital took place?
Ticks can, too.
