yo but a poptart with real strawberry bits? come on

I get wanting to separate naming schemes between EV and ICE vehicles, but throwing away almost 50 years of name/brand recognition that the Golf has (outside of the US, we had some hiccups here) seems really dumb to me.

THANK YOU! I’ve been saying it for years, the current Blazer is fine. Get over the name, it was diluted a long time ago and it doesn’t really matter what vehicle they put the nameplate on. It’s a fine vehicle

I love all the people who say the last real Blazer was made in 2004. Like, this is what they choose to immortalize?

yeah the blazer was just a “normal” car for 99 percent of its owners post 1988.  they then turned it into the Trailblazer to make the sausage extra chungus to take all of the “sport” out of “sport utility vehicle” 

Goddamn right Raiders go on raids 

Dodge and Jeep leaned heavily into “manly” naming in the early aughts. Witness vehicles with names like Magnum, Caliber, Patriot, etc.

The concept vehicles were worse. There was one called the Firepower! That exclamation point was part of the name.

There was another Chrysler Tubrine car built, in 1977.

I’m guessing she did this right after walking into the door then falling down the stairs? 

Ah, you’re a lot like my best friend in that regard. Same idea, he’d prefer no lights too.

Gaming PCs just keep getting uglier and uglier for no practical reason.  Who the hell cares what your PC looks like, the only thing that matters is how it runs software. I remember decades ago making fun of the cases with the windows on the side, so you can watch some fans spin.  20 years later the only difference is…

I work in a designer clothing store and we take an average of $70k a day and we’re only open 8 hours.

Oh, fuck off with this bullshit.

…earned only an estimated $44,500…

I love that the NFTs only pay 2.25% of their total value to Gamestop, just like it’s trade in credit

What does it mean to say having the ‘worst cars’? If we’re talking about something like the Aztek in ‘Breaking Bad’, that car is perfect - it fits the role, and the requirements of the character. A quasi-SUV / Adventure vehicle for the forlorn, unhappy, middle class teacher. You can’t replace it with an ‘awesome car’.…

I wonder if some props person just really wanted to get their hands on one and managed to push the show runners to think it was a good choice.

Oh, I absolutely agree. The beige Aztek is perfect for Walter White because it’s distinctive and memorable, yet crappy and offputting in ways that are hard for the average person to articulate. “Oh. He drives one of...those.”

I’m just going to say, this was also most attendees attitude towards NFTs during GDC this year. Those NFT people were everywhere and super annoying, and they were the only ones that wanted themselves there.

Remember when Richard Spencer was becoming a thing and then a single punch that got memed into oblivion completely ended any momentum he was building? These dudes should always be mocked, constantly and aggressively.
