As a Model 3 owner... so do I.  I think the stock crashing would be the best thing that could happen for those of us who want the company to continue and improve as an EV maker rather than a meme stock.  If there are actual losses, investors will finally have cause to sue Musk for destroying the company’s value and…

Companies can’t just say “Well some people want this name and some want that name so we’ll pick the one we want”. They look to a standards body (BGN in this case) to see what the official name is.

It’s the “fit of pique” nature of this bullshit I am speaking of. I know things get called by different names, but now we’re not just dealing with the Gulf of Mexico and Denali, we have asskissers in congress proposing things like renaming Greenland to “Red, White, and Blue Land.” which I’d like to laugh at and say is…

Except the U.S. can’t rename the whole body of water. Only the part it controls. So no, it shouldn’t rename the whole gulf. It should draw a little dotted line 12 miles from the shore and call THAT the Gulf of America and maybe add a little caption that reads “Happy now, you fucking pissbaby Nazis?”

This is what Google SHOULD have done. Draw a little dotted line 12 nautical miles from the shore and within THAT call it “Gulf of America” and everywhere else “Gulf of Mexico” as it is recognized by the rest of the world.

I am having a little fun here. I assume what’s actually being talked about it closer to an armored limousine than a military-style armored vehicle but I’d still avoid the CT for the same reason.

These are all good points, but I was also thinking mainly of the front windshield. It’s approximately the size of a football field, give or take. And it’s perfectly flat. Neither of which is what you really want when you’re looking to stop a bullet.

but this whole thing predated our current predicament

Sadly, this one doesn’t look like it has the potential to end our miserable civilization.

If they think they’re gonna be safe in a Cybertruck then I’d say no, they don’t know exactly what they are doing right now.

If they were Chinese keyloggers, he’d have to pay his own tariff on them!  Irony!

I think Trump clearly missed a golden opportunity for himself. He could have easily weeded out a lot of waste, if he was seriously concerned, by simply pushing for some kind of spyware on government computers...

There are countless stories of people getting into accidents with the so-called “full self drive” yet idiots are still letting their cars drive them around without paying attention. They believe what they want.

More and more the “times are bad” or “times are good” is being solely based on which party is in power rather the actual state of the economy and society.

If killing school children wasn’t enough for the USA to re-evaluate gun laws, killing grandma isn’t even going to move the needle.

Egg prices are going up because...

The responses here are so predictable, I probably should have just headed you all off in the original post. This happens every time.

Remember: With enough money, you can fully insulate yourself from any ill effects, no matter how many people your decisions kill.

I love how you can just easily translate any time he says “Nobody knows” and “like no one has ever seen” into “I didn’t know” and “like I’ve never seen” and then be factually correct.

I think it’s just exceptional cognitive dissonance. It would hurt some of these people emotionally if there’s evidence they made the wrong decision spending THAT much money on this piece of shit.
