I just had another woman lie to me about wanting to meet up for a date but kept making excuses at the last second to bail. This went on for a few weeks.

But she kept texting me to chat. And we texted a lot. It was clean chat too and not sexting.

I was patient at first but finally after three weeks I said “I need to know if we are going to meet up or not” (politely). She said she definitely wanted to meet up and then when I said “okay can you let me know a good time” and she went silent. She only said “happy 4th” and I said happy 4th back but then I deleted her number. Haven’t heard from her sense.

Anyway she just wanted virtual/text attention for validation despite telling me in the beginning she would be interested in friends with benefits. Yes I met her on dating app but we were both verified and she was local. I am a bit older so I was patient at first. But it turned out to be a huge waste of time and she had to lie about wanting to meet up just because she didn’t want me to stop texting her.

But this crap happens a lot to guys nowadays. Just curious if women have any lingering guilt/regrets about doing this to them later. I doubt they do tbh.

Not sure what other countries are doing about this, but Canada's aiming to have electric cars in all/most people's driveways in the somewhat distant future. Do you think this a reality for most countries or is is shooting for the stars. I've heard/read the following:

- The batteries only last so long and at 13 to 20 K for Tesla's outside the warranty period.

- If you are charging on the go, you can wait hours for a charger due to line-ups, I've seen this at a few stations along the 401 in Ontario;

- More often than not, charger stations are out of order creating longer charging line-ups at popular station stops;

- The rare earth materials used in the manufacture of the magnets in EVs is a limited resource and mostly in countries where there are no limitations on the cost of these materials, similarly the Lithium in the batteries is not a renewable resource and the amount of dirty air industry to mine these materials will simply worsen air quality in these other countries. Does this just equate to an out of sight, out of mind feel good scenario;

- That just adding an at-home charging station in your garage may not possibly due to poor electrical infrastructure in most cities. The lines can easily be upgraded on your property, but the cities don't have the electrical power to support EV charging stations in everyone's homes.

Are these true? What's your opinion, do you think electric is the way to go or will the changeover have more environmental concerns in the long-run with waste battery materials etc.. Are we trading one necessary evil (carbon emission vehicles) for another that may potentially pollute the groundwater and surface water once the batteries start piling-up...
