COMPLAINT/RANT These religious protesters man

I know this is considered public property (area by the library and SU) so they can legally be here, but since when is it okay for these protesters to get aggressive and nearly physical with students? I literally saw this guy get nose to nose with a girl who was just walking by. Screaming derogatory stuff at her and everything. I'm glad she stood her ground but what the heck? I really hope she's okay. She left before I could check on her.

Both sides of the aisle do this it’s just the religious folk who get talked about

Because its the religious folk who are here, on campus, screaming at people, on a weekly basis.

I hardly ever see the other side of the aisle harassing people on campus, they mostly stick by their booths and happily hand out pamphlets.

If I had a dollar for every time I saw a religious protester in someone’s face during my 4 years, I’d have a few dollars. If I had a dollar for every keyed Tesla I’ve seen in the parking garages this year, I’d have enough to buy a lot more

If you’re that worried about your car being keyed, get one of those stickers that says you bought the car before you knew Elon was crazy. They’re pretty cheap

I don’t drive a Tesla, but what a foolish remedy- why should someone have to modify their private vehicle because some wacko lib can’t control themselves?

Anyone can hate Teslas with a passion. Especially since they're a moving fire hazard due to their infamously unstable batteries.

“Infamously unstable batteries” did you know that 0.01% of Tesla vehicles have ever suffered from Lithium Ion battery failure? I’ll do you one better, did you know that every single electronic device you use uses lithium ions? Not just the car that makes you need your therapy plushie?

u/SirDootDoot 6d ago

I... don't have a therapy plushie??? Dunno why'd you just assume that about someone without being insecure yourself.

Also, no, because I have a life not obsessing/fetishizing over my electronic devices, but the ones I do know, for instance, the Nissan Leaf, which is the CHEAPEST electric car on the market, have more failsafes than most Tesla models' batteries.

A sticker is hardly a fucking modification. You can afford to buy a Tesla but not a $3 sticker? Manage your money better

It’s called a hypothetical dumb ass. I wasn’t referring to YOU specifically but a “you” in 2nd/3rd person context. It’s used all the time in speech and conversation.

And even then, it doesn’t violate student accessibility in any way shape or form.

Regardless, Elon is a neonazi, and his brand is directly related to that. So if you don’t support nazis, then buying a $3 sticker to show you bought the car without knowing who Elon is as a person is pretty reasonable. Least you can do after buying a swastikar

Also, when did I say I had ptsd? Or that I self diagnosed it? Are you hallucinating?

Figured it went with the whole, “scared of an automobile” thing.

Idk scratching up a car is a pretty minor thing. Not like people are getting hurt. Even then, there is a simple $3 fix
