*buying direct from Elon anyways

Worth noting that there is no such thing as a “Nazi sympathizer.”  If you have 9 Nazis sitting at a table and one “Nazi sympathizer,” you have 10 Nazis.

that’s why finding a reviewer with similar taste is important. 

Still has weapon durability? Still hard pass. 

I don’t even mind those kinds of games but this is just second-rate copying of Souls-styles combat. The first game has bad Dark Souls combat and bad Uncharted platforming and nobody seemed to care. It’s bizarre.

That looks like something that would be pretty easy to recreate with pieces from Bricklink, especially  if you’ve already got a Yoda minifig.   Not to mention a lot cheaper than any that might show up on eBay. 

It’s gotta be a loud minority. I’ve also had Pixel phones since the Nexus 6, currently have a Pixel 7 Pro. I’ve never had any of the issues people seem to complain about. I think the hype surrounding the Pixel line as a pure Android experience and premium google product sets people’s expectations really high. That…

Am I just lucky or are the few problems referenced a loud minority?

Are the issues at that much higher of a rate than Apple products?

It looks good from the front and the side ..... but that rear end is just an atrocity. 

I realize the XM generates clicks, but it is absolutely not a redesign.

I would definitely agree with this sentiment. It’s happened elsewhere.  To broaden the appeal, you basically dilute the very thing that made it interesting in the first place.

While I agree with everything you said, I have one thing to add.

We pay $85.00 extra in MN for our Leaf

Texas won’t be the first or last to do this. Without paying a per gallon gas tax there is no way to create funds for roadwork as more EV’s come online. I would have hoped they used some sort of decent formula here, but I kind of doubt they did, $200/year seems high. Should be about $100/year.

Sure, just what we need. Slash the budget for the already crippled infrastructure repairs. That'll fix things

Hard to come up with an idea for a fair fee. Just having gas tax continue to pave the way to EVs (literally) is kind of a great incentive to have people buy an EV in the first place, but then you’ll eventually get to the point where there isn’t enough tax coming in (maybe in a decade or so from now). At some point it…

What made Beast Wars great was the focus on the Transformers themselves, without the human context. I’m sure this movie will be entertaining, just like the other ones, but I’m disappointed that it’s going to follow the same formula.

“Yet, most of the large news organizations keep wanting Dominion to settle”

This is basically like the Mueller report again... we’d hoped something monumental would come out of it, so much so that we forgot who was conducting the investigation. Now we have our white knight who we hope will bring ruing to Fox News... Dominion, who will gladly take a billion dollars and keep Fox out of the…
