Let's hold up on the self-congratulations a second.

There's a very long way between a multinational corporation's published policy and the practice at street-level, even if yesterday is the only report (so far). Is this a franchise? What authority does the store have contractually, or in practice? Is the policy enforced? Is there a history of enforcement? Was this a rogue employee, maybe a recent hire, with a political motivation?

Did you check the original thread https://x.com/AmmahStarr/status/1804608613916328334 for the context of the discussion? Did you check the account for a history of "rage-bait" before dismissing this woman's experience?

Skepticism is important, but caping for corps is seldom necessary. They pay people for that.

I hear you, too many are SUVs or "crossovers" (still "light trucks" for the purposes of scamming gov't regulations) as well.

But I'm pretty happy with my Leaf. 🤷

Somebody is really pushing an anti-EV narrative.

SNW is so good I'd sooner toss TOS if forced to choose (which I'm not). The musical episode is vastly better than Turnabout: Intruder.

When I want smaller than my ⚡🚗🍃 Leaf, I ride my ⚡🏍️ Metacycle or my ⚡🛵 niu N-GT.

The Leaf is a reasonable size, the Ioniq 6 as well I think.

My point was more about the fact that voting in our FPTP system, mathematically, is an act not subject to the same "black & white" fallacy label as a discussion about who is the best candidate, because it actually is a choice between the top two candidates, which is why splitting the vote has been an enduring strategy.

But your illustration about the Fallacy fallacy—that is to say that even if something were a fallacy, that doesn't in itself mean it is untrue—is also a fair point.

"Reasoning about" isn't the same as "performing" an action.

Fallacies apply to debate, not to actions like voting.

How did you read that into what I wrote?

You know what I meant.

Their myopic crusade will doom the whole planet.
