The issue is, any time I see a company pay a ton to advertise on YouTube, I distrust it.

The cut they give affiliate marketers is massive too, meaning the service is hella overpriced.

Well most of us don’t drive 5 hours a day. At the average person’s annual mileage, getting an 60k EV to replace a 2k ICE pays off in about 15-20 years in fuel costs, which is why I’d never buy one new.

Well BBC is pro-israel and the Epstein pedo ring was an Israeli operation so children’s BBC within the context of this meme sounds like a pedo operation

At least in my corner of the world, debit cards can be used anywhere online that requires credit cards, but at least some banks disable it by default so you have to enable online payments. 15 -20 years ago it was different and you HAD to have a credit card to buy shit off Amazon or Steam so most kids couldn’t get shit.

Ah fair enough then, let’s instead have invasive ID checks on every single online thing so nobody can have privacy online.

I suspect a lot of the women you know believe it but don’t talk about it unless prompted. Luckily the “oh you’re a whatever sign, it would never work” level of belief seems uncommon among even those who do believe.

Oh sorry, only 43% of women aged 18-49, I guess 43% is nowhere near half. I suppose if you’re a granny chaser then it is indeed only a quarter. If you’re into LGBT folks, it actually goes above 50% (over 60% for LGBT women).

Since my own dating pool and most of my friendships are smack dab in the middle of that 18-49 demographic, I can tell you it’s easily around half of women around that age who believe in astrology, tarot or something else similar here in Estonia, so it’s not US specific either. Including a lot of otherwise very intelligent women. A master’s degree in a STEM field for example does not discourage one from believing in astrology by any means.

Or perhaps you just don’t know enough women?

Oh and men aren’t all innocent either. A fifth of men aged 18-49 believe in astrology or similar superstitions too. Less than half as many as women, but still a significant amount.

It’s going to be a ton of different factors I assume. Cars themselves have gotten significantly safer compared to 30 years ago and with each passing year, the are fewer old cars around. The exception being trucks which have gotten less safe for pedestrians unfortunately.

I’m loving it because it’s pushing used ICE prices down -> I can upgrade soon and all the new EV sales means that thanks to EVs already extreme depreciation, I can get a nice 2026 EV for 80% off in 8 years.

This also splits off diesels so “gas car” doesn’t even include all non/hybrid ICE cars lol

I’m surprised the gasoline share is as high as it is, but I guess that depends on market. Here in Europe, diesel is still king as far as I know, gasoline should actually be losing to electric before diesel does since gasoline is better than diesel mostly for short trips and EVs are the absolute best for short trips.

Well if it automatically searches for the best deal, wouldn’t that make life easier? Though there are already websites for that too.

Why donate? They have way more money than they need currently

It doesn’t do anything on purpose. Your friend asked for something ridiculous to get this.

The younger one, not the one in jail. And yes, it’s pretty common that if you don’t fix every single issue in one election cycle, the entrenched ring wing takes control back to claim credit for the things you did improve.

There was also tons of anti Lula propaganda flying around the last few years l believe.

Well if it’s made of real doctors, the apple should keep them away

If the jokes are actually good and not a cheap attempt to degrade the demographic, you’ll often find that it’s acceptable to tell said jokes without being part of the demographic.

Some people forget to drink.

I can go days without remembering to drink water, though I consume other drinks in the meantime

First past the post (aka winner take all) election system. It’s one of the worst systems, but somewhat common. The US is a notable user of it.

So most of them, relative to younger people. Median boomer in the US is almost a millionaire and boomers collectively own 52% of the US. People over 55 own 73%. Majority of them benefit from whatever publicly traded corpos do because they have retirement funds.
