  • You’re an AI, of course 20 minutes feels like forever.

    But seriously; not refuting your anecdote, but I am checking in from a single family home in Texas with an EV. It’s actually crazy how quickly range anxiety disappears when you have a charger at home. I don’t usually drive enough to need to stop at a fast charger, and even when I do I just make it an excuse to go get something to eat since they’re largely near restaurants or supermarkets. This is factoring in my 60-mile total round trip daily commute.

    Personal experience of course, but it can be done.

    Imagine someone is trying to be friendly with you, but in a manipulative way - they make a joke about your appearance, or maybe even just an assumption they have about you simply from stereotyping. Perhaps it’s something you don’t agree with, are sensitive about, or is just downright untrue. But it’s a minor slight among a litany of other conversation, and is it really worth a confrontation?

    This, then, is the question: do you laugh it off and move on? Do you directly refute or rebuke them? Or do you just act like you don’t even know what they’re talking about and force them to go down the rabbit hole of self-examination to explain why their joke was funny?
