Somewhere in Texas, a Cybertruck owner saw the words “Wade Mode” and thought, let’s put that to the test. So he drove his Cybertruck down to Grapevine Lake, apparently to test the feature. The truck quickly became disabled. Thankfully the power windows didn’t lock up, and the people inside got out safely. Then Grapevine Fire […]
Well, I would say the test results were conclusive, if nothing else.
I don’t know if those details (casual racism and acceptance of same, both by otherwise redeemable characters and by the victims of it; fairly graphic representation of bodily harm) match the reality of the time
1900 Texas, yeah, it matches the reality of the time. We’re talking about a state that 40 years before that had voted overwhelmingly to secede from the Union and ousted their governor when he refused to join the Confederacy. We’re talking full on Jim Crow, segregation as law, redlining, employment gating, etc etc - it was very bad.
But yeah I mean I probably wouldn’t say a 5yo should be engaging with that content, but I could see a 10 year old maybe? It feels 6th grade level is about right for that?

I think we’re on the same metaphorical page.
