It always bothered me, this censoring bullshit. Especially movies and TV shows censoring cigarette smoking. Drinking alcohol? It's okay. Gambling? It's okay. But smoking is a no-no.

Advertisements are another stupidity. Not a single tobacco commercial. But alcohol and gambling? No problem. Go on, get yourself some liver damage and drink yourself to death—lose your driver's license, wreck your relationships, and watch the bottle dismantle your entire life. Every five minutes there's a gambling advert: gamble your life savings away, become a broke-ass, ruin your family, get divorced, get depressed, jump from a bridge, rob a bank cause you need money for food, end up in jail cause you have no money to pay for child support.

But god forbid you see a cigarette on the screen.

I don't want books written by AI, I want books written by Russian alcoholic novelists on the verge of a nervous breakdown due to depression, that's how God wanted it.

The 2027 Slate Truck is an ultra-affordable, all-electric utility vehicle built to strip away modern feature-bloat. Starting at $24,950 ($26,400 with destination), the minimalist EV features unpainted gray composite body panels designed to be customized with wraps.

Embracing extreme simplicity, it features manual crank windows, physical HVAC knobs, a small digital instrument cluster, and zero built-in infotainment or speakers. Instead, it relies on a «bring-your-own-device» smartphone mount for navigation and audio.

Powered by a single rear motor putting out 181 horsepower and a 65 kWh LFP battery, it delivers an estimated 205 miles of range and features a standard NACS port for Tesla Supercharger access. True to its blank-canvas nature, the compact truck can also be physically reconfigured into a multi-passenger SUV using bolt-on accessory kits.
