expected them to continue the level of craziness in SR4/GOH

That’s disingenuous. I consider myself pretty damn leftist and I thought the humor of the game (mostly) sucked. Not because of wokeness, because that word is stupid, but it just felt very “how do you do fellow millennials, rent is crazy amirite? TOPICAL.” I’m probably misrembering SR1-3, but in my head it was a bit…

Is it as obnoxious as Dunkey’s video made it seem? I’m fully aware that creators, especially comedy ones, will over-exaggerate things for laughs. I know Dunkey edits his videos for humor and not to take them at face value. But man, watching his character collect items and constantly scream WAAH GOT A RARE DOODAH…

Which almost feels like the opposite of what I’d expect. People NEED cars, so they get desperate and settle for something. Bikes, at least in the US, are more of a toy or secondary vehicle. You’d think that would make it harder for them to be shitty, but I definitely agree with you that it isn’t the case.

Enemy of my enemy and all that.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Gasly rumors. Would be super interesting to see how he and Ocon get along, as Alpine have definitely stood by Ocon as their ‘main’ driver.

Great breakdown. Yeah they still have that tech company mindset, as if that’s their limiting factor on manufacturing cars. But this is just more Elon bluster so I won’t read into it too much.

I don’t know if I’d put Haas at Alfa’s level. Maybe for the first few races of the year, since they had a head start by focusing on 2022 at the detriment of 2021's results. But they won’t be bringing any major upgrades, so they’ve fallen back as others have caught and surpassed them.

I know it’s normal for businesses to project overly ambitious plans, but damn that’s aggressive. They had an annual sales jump of 141,482 units from 2017 to 2018, the biggest increase according to carsalesbase.com (2019 only increased sales by ~600 units). I also find different sales numbers at different sites, so…

I don’t think he’s done anything to warrant a ride in something better than a Haas right now. Him and K-Mag both have 3 DNFs and Schumi is 4 places lower in the championship. So actually Williams would probably be a good call.

Aye no problem, happens over text all the time!

Fully agreed. I was jsut referring to your question on if the editor is anti-Biden.

Maybe not full anti-Biden, but does anyone really LIKE Biden? He’s barely a Democrat and he sure as hell isn’t actually a progressive. American politics have been so tainted by insane right-wing ideology that he seems okay by comparison.

You’ve been around Jalopnik long enough to know that most of the commenters will see that as a GOOD choice, right? ;)

Who wants to bet that the person who did this calls people ‘snowflake’ unironically? The lack of any self-awarness or irony is a cornerstone of the type of person to get triggered by the existence of trans people.

Hard to say, since we don’t have all the details on the original agreement. It keeps getting repeated that he waived due diligence.

Puig learns nothing I fucking swear. Getting him back on the bike too early helped set off this whole chain of events in the first place.

Musk is clearly above the rules so idk why it matters if he violated them, stop expecting him to face any consequences (except this Twitter lawsuit, still hopeful he gets reamed on that one).

Can’t speak to the broader trend, but I thought we agreed that the biggest problem with McDonald’s offering was the name. McPlant is maybe the worst option they could’ve gone with.

Nice motive, still eugenics.
