Correct me if I'm wrong, is Slate not Amazon backed? No judgement either way, I just know that rubs some lemmings the wrong way

    Oh don't worry, it isn't! Its just backed by Jeff Bezos himself.......

    Yeah......

    This world sucks, and sometimes you gotta make some shitty pragmatic choices. I would judge someone harshly for a Tesla but less so for Slate given that 1. Jeff isn't so openly racist so much as being a greedy bastard of a human being, and 2. Slate is backed by him but not fully owned by him.

  • Ah the fun of the world we live in...

    Yeah 100%, I'm fully on board with your reasoning. I'm continuously arguing with myself over a Bronco or a Tacoma (only modern backcontry capable vehicles with manuals I'm aware of), so I do NOT have a moral high ground here haha
