  • I think most people in the market for an EV know that all the manufacturers are changing the charging port to the Tesla NACS standard next year. Range anxiety is still the biggest issue for EV adoption and the supercharger network is the only practical option right now. Tesla hasn’t innovated in a while and current Tesla owners are put off by Musk’s antics. I’d personally wait a year to see what the options are.



  • The psychology term is “locus of control”. It’s used to describe how much control a person has over their life, with an internal locus of control more associated with taking personal responsibility. Like “I see a mountain, I’m going to climb it” versus an external locus such as “I can never get ahead at work because my boss is mean to me, it doesn’t matter what I do”.

    Since the article says smartphone addiction triggers a chemical response similar to drug addiction, it’s helpful to look at addiction resources for some answers to your question. As fyi, the reason you’re getting downvoted use because it could be perceived that you lack empathy for others who can’t control themselves but based on your question and other comments, it seems like you’re actually just curious about the topic.

    When you asked “who’s in charge”, it was insightful because a number of articles about addiction ask that same question. Eg:

  • I scrolled his IG and he hasn’t posted anything new in a while but he certainly doesn’t look like he was 360 in any of his photos. One could speculate it was a recent weight gain. He also hasn’t posted any new videos of his singing on YouTube in a couple years. I can personally empathize with how he might have felt being excluded but don’t have a lot of sympathy for his lawsuit. Servers at a party are expected to blend into the background but being both big and tall probably attracts too much attention.
