Q is for “Questionable executive decisions”

No, because Twitter was never profitable.

I find it funny that you think that replacing one blackbox with an even more opaque system is the answer. 

This is it, this is the game for every single privately funded upstart because their VC overlords made them agree to specific performance targets that requires them to gain marketshare at all costs so they can start monetizing against the user base they’ve amassed.

Outside of the OG 2GR with the dumb rubber hose issue that they updated in 2009 or so, the 3.5 is basically Toyota in a nutshell - make something dumb reliable, make minor iterative improvements and stuff it into anything and everything for 2 decades until they’re forced to move on from ICE.

Kup was one of my favorites. Pragmatic. Level headed. Dependable. Got shit done.

Zuck blows...” - you could have just ended it right there.

Ah yes, the state trooper “trick”: Act like complete asshats behind you and either goad you into speeding up too much to switch lanes. I had this happen to me in broad daylight by an unmarked cruiser in MA. I was in the left lane moving along with everyone else when a blacked out, unmarked car came blasting up behind

Like my brain won’t let me do it because I’m not a compulsively lying narcissist but now I’m trying to think up stupid lies Santos would tell that makes him look worse.

You’re so bad at this. So, so bad.

And perfectly placed hills that hide feet.

I mean... Rutgers. Honors English is probably learning how to spell beer brands so whoever is doing the quick mart run for the day won’t be confused.

Any time I see one now I gasp. Being in a major metro I see European exotic hyper cars and vintage Japanese imports on the regular and yes they’re cool, but spotting an early/mid 90s USDM Camry Wagon (in champagne???) is like getting a glimpse of Bigfoot before it ambles off into the urban jungle, never to be seen

hnnnnnnnnggggg

Design and sheetmetal were *chefs kiss* perfect, but boy the early ‘00s silver colored plastics and fabrics were cheap and creaky and fell apart quickly. Still loved these things and wanted a Mazdaspeed version so bad. The “smiley” era 3 was technically a better car but the design didn’t match up to the Protege 5.

LOL I read that in his voice in my head.

“THE ONE TOYOTA YOU SHOULD NEVER OVERLOOK”

LOL that same cruise control stalk must be specced  on every Toyota since then because I’ve seen it on everything from Yaris (Yari?) to Lexus (Lexi?). And it is indeed perfectly cromulent.

Maybe the latest gen Lexus (Lexi?) models have it but I don’t think Toyota products had this feature through the mid 2010s.

Also the Camry V6’s upscale sibling the Lexus ES350. The LS gets all the classic Lexus love but the ES is the invisible overachieving middle child. They added extra noise dampening, nicer and better fitted interiors, and“old man back” suspension tuning to a Camry/Avalon base and created one of the most reliable and
