r/tuesday This lady's not for turning 18d ago

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 16, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

Got a new car; 2024 Kia EV9, in (matte) Ocean Blue. In spite of the fact that I’m single with no kids, I bought a three row SUV. At least it fits all the dogs!

As someone with a lot of thoughts about big SUVs taking over America, why did you choose a giant three-row SUV? A smaller hatchback has plenty of cargo room, would have been cheaper, and is more engaging to drive... Just curious, the EV9 is a nice-looking car, too!

The EV6 felt a little tight, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 was unobtanium near me, the Tesla Model Y hasn’t been refreshed yet (plus Elon), and virtually all of the other makes I had concerns about one way or another. In addition, when I take the dogs I can still fit two people in back with some cargo, or lots of cargo. Also, the Rivian was too expensive, and there were good discounts on the EV9.
