“We have both kinds of music here: country and Western.”

Sam, if you’re reading this, are you smelling burnt toast?

The AMPTP is eventually going to cave, and then movies and TV will be back, and then nobody’s going to think “the jerk who threw something at someone” is cool anymore.

ROFL you really think consumers’ opinion of a CEO affects their purchasing decisions?

Great fucking reference. Take my star.

“policy of towing safely and lawfully parked vehicles without a warrant based solely on the accrual of unpaid parking tickets”

I think that the nearly 40% of people who responded to this survey citing “Elon Musk” and “brand perception” as reasons they will not purchase another Tesla to be a pretty convincing indicator that he does in fact impact consumer purchase decisions. On the anecdotal side of things, I did’t even look at Tesla when I…

Weird take that reduces down to “whataboutism.”

I mean, that’s literally what this report says. People are superficial, and Elon is the most superficial of them all. He’s not smart enough to keep his mouth shut, and that tends to get people’s attention. How he actually compares to other industry leaders is largely irrelevant in the court of public opinion. You…

Exactly. Most are still smart enough to not do active damage to the brand they’re responsible for. They’re also usually smart enough to ask their lawyers to clear what they do say before it goes out.

My opinion of a CEO and/or company in general absolutely affects my purchasing decisions. I want my next vehicle to be an EV or at minimum a hybrid, and I will absolutely not buy a Tesla. 1/3 is that I just don’t vibe with the designs, 1/3 is inconsistent quality control, fit & finish, and 1/3 is Musk being a giant…

Oh you want me to believe a tough guy conservative is really just a full of shit, all talk, weak ass punk?

It’s amazing how quickly Tesla ownership went from being a point of pride and status symbol to source of embarrassment and scarlet letter.

You post the kind of tabloid shit TMZ is known for, use TMZ as a source, and include a dig at TMZ for posting tabloid shit. Jesus Fucking Christ.

They specifically say that it is not autonomous yet when you go to buy it.

Those videos are evidence of nothing but the pilots not being optical engineers and misunderstanding how their instrumentation works and cause things like a parallax effect and/or appearing to be not moving due to basic physics. Despite what people think, fighter pilots are not trained on every aspect of how their…

There are actual problems with this show. There are actual things that a skilled critic could address. There are actual plot issues, pace issues, dialogue issues, theme issues.
Which makes it all the more infuriating when Barsanti ignores them to make complaints that demonstrate his complete lack of media literacy:

“Rioting is so counter-productive” - said in reference to riots happening in the one country in which possibly the most “productive” riot in all of human history occurred around 300 years ago.

You’re going to sit there with a straight face and tell the French people that riots do’t do anything

The riots happened before the charge.  Clearly riots work.
