Could have been a test bed to see how audiences actually react so the execs know how to push it on future movies. 

I think that’s where it is important that household names like RDJ, or similar, just stay out of the headlines about this as best they can. Let lesser known people do a lot of the PR so they can better maintain a working class imagine and avoid getting caught up some liberal elites culture war because a few far right…

Because a movie starring CGI John Smith is not the same as advertising a movie starring (AI) Tom Cruise. They also have to pay the CGI techs and would love to remove that aspect.

For a lot of people in general, meeting the opposite sex is a numbers game. Just because there are a lot of opportunities available on a campus, why would you ignore a giant group that is readily available in your immediate geographic area via a handheld device that everyone has? Even on campus, people still operate…

The 1967 Mustang GT500. There’s nothing more boomer than thinking American life peaked several decades ago and the fact that it is a pretty awesome car lends just enough truth to make it feel real. 

The listing says it has 129k miles and is still on the original clutch. 

I figured most old people would recognize the name from the semi-popular prohibition era gangster with the same nickname. 

He’s a weirdo who mostly does really weird things. You just seem irrationally angry by his existence, unless he’s gone full Kanye or something that is actually a bad thing. Does he even have enough fans for them to be annoying? 

- I’m living for the day a bank safe falls from a tall building and crushes him, Wiley Coyote style.

Chargers have been exposed as having generators, not being powered by them. I’ve installed a bunch of gas/diesel backup generators at primarily electric sites so they can do just that, act as a backup if the power goes down. It would take a rather large & loud generator to charge multiple cars all the time, so it…

Having recently experienced my first HUD, that could be a decent replacement on BEVs. There’s no need for the RPMs, so there goes 1 gauge. Would need to show current speed, cruise speed & on/off, battery level, & maybe battery temp? I would prefer to have other info available there, but it would at least be sufficient…

One of my sister’s friends left the sunroof open in one. The worst part is that probably wasn't even the worst thing she did to her cars in high school. Pretty amazing she never ended up in a ditch or hospital. 

Sex work is a perfectly acceptable profession (so long as a person gets to willingly choose it and have control of their clientele). The authors of that paper are just greedy assholes who find it easier to lie to the public than adjust how they make money.

When I worked at a casino, everyone took the cash over the mega prize at every drawing (car, vacation, etc). As you noted, the taxes are a huge chunk of cash and the casino I was at required those taxes get paid before you even get the asset. Not many people are ready to drop that much cash on a surprise whim, even if…

Yup. With how functional this comment section has been over the years, it’s hard to tell if it’s an omen or just the next “quirk” we all seem to ignore & accept.

It’s important that the still legal slave labor in America isn’t able to pay for a PR campaign about it.

For the upper middle class holiday parties so that someone can brag about it or sounds like the target audience to me. I also have a few friends that have done drunken online shopping and ended up with a replica WWE belt or similar weird stuff, I could see people like that buying this too.

For brands like Ferrari, is there actually anything other than themselves stopping them from selling more of anything? While there is technically a limit of rich people out there, it’s not like they are trying to figure what incentives are needed to move cars off dealer lots.

It was probably done on purpose to cut costs vs re-shoots or trying to clean up the CGI. It screams of “just make it cheap and we’ll say it was an artistic choice.”

It’s fairly common for engineers to be anti-union in my experience, so it would make sense that they would target young engineering grads, let them do these puff pieces, and then abandon them on the shop floor. We’re more often on the management side of work and there is plenty of the arrogance to think we’re smarter…
