The Simpsons wasn’t as tragic though because it was always dumb humor. Futurama went from having clever and witty jokes to being Family Guy in Space. The characters were Flanderized and they started recycling old jokes without the setup, like having Bender say “I’m 40% [blank]” constantly in ways that didn’t even have…

Isn’t the 5 Series already available with some powerful engines? Seems like diminishing returns, but I guess if you really gotta have a gazillion spokes on your wheels...

[insert smug comment about a car website that “hates cars”]

I like the orginal. It breaks up the vast expanses of unbroken body surface and defines the front plane.

Can we stop acting like this is in any way unique to entertainment? It exists in every industry, it just gets more often exposed and more publicly exposed because of the public nature of the industry. I think we have enough scapegoating of “hOlLyWoOd” by Qanon types as it is.

If only the same thing happened with the writing cast of Futurama... they lost half of the original writers for the Comedy Central reboot and that’s why it was an embarrassment that ruined the legacy of the original run.

I think it’s ultimately more of a matter of raising future generations to be self-critical. Not to sound like a conservative but it is kind of a cultural thing. Schooling can certainly be better, but we can’t expect schools to do everything (and their influence is limited).

Good point; in America at least, therapy is a privilege of the well-off.

The thing is, I frequently see people who do know that, not realizing how it applies to something they’re saying.

I heard two different people tell it to me, just today! All of the sudden the allegations are piling up. Coincidence? I think not. I know what I heard. He can throw all the fancy science he wants at me, but I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Ain’t nothin’ gonna change my mind. It’s just common sense.

Aww, widdle baby got twiggered!

It sickens me how these scumbags will weaponize every celebrity death into either their vaccine bullshit, or Qanon claiming that they were killed because they were about to expose the deep state pedophiles or whatever. Fucking degenerates. That shit really sets me off.

Occam’s Razor strikes again.

Here’s the thing, I also know people who were poor and broke their own stuff frequently. Assuming it’s a result of privilege is... well, just that: an assumption.

“Discourse”? None of the quotes in this article even come remotely close to discourse. More like “the thoughtless chatterings of children”.

Is it abnormal that I can smell it in the cabin though?

Interesting, I’d been wondering for a while why I smelled gas fumes only on startup, and more commonly in cold weather.

I got into it with a Tesla fanboy once and he hit me with this profit margin talking point. I feel like such an idiot for not realizing the flaw in that logic.

I think people are also forgetting that they sell luxury (priced) vehicles whereas all of the brand listed have a wide range of segments covered. Luxury cars are more profitable, shocking!

This may be the only place you won’t get crucified for saying that. May be.
