The design language was edgy in 1979. Now it’s just stupid.

Not that you really need any sort of expertise or even basic knowledge of car design, or what a car even is, to recognise what a piece of garbage this is.

a comment like this is on pretty much any post which uses the term.

What genius? Elon Musk is not even remotely a fucking genius. He’s never invented anything, he’s never created anything, he buys shit out that is far enough along just so he can act like he invented the shit. 

WTF

How can something be “sleek” and not hide its windshield wiper below the hood line like every other modern car?  And does it not even HAVE a right side wiper?  That one doesn’t look big enough to clear the whole windshield.

Cybertruck was always a stock pump and nothing more. Original specs and prices have been removed from Tesla’s website. This truck was supposed to be feasible based on the 4680 battery, which (not surprisingly) also turned out to be a stock pump. 4680 is nothing more than a “C” sized battery vs. an “AA” battery. No…

Man, the full resolution version of that picture just looks worse and worse the longer you examine it.

The problem is that the bit went too far — all the way to the assembly line.

I think someone put it best that the Cybertruck is a loyalty test. Something to determine how MUCH you like the Kool-aid. It’s bad at being a truck, reports that it’s dangerous to drive, i.e. suspension, brakes, etc. were nearly impossible to manage because they started with something that wasn’t meant to be a truck.…

Stop being a stupid gig “worker”

Jesus what the fuck is wrong with people and passing. I was driving to southern Utah last year and long lonely desert highway, caught up to a car doing 60 in a 70 zone, as soon as we got to a passing zone he speeds up to 80, then after that back to 60. So finally I get past him and then he tailgates me for miles. Dude…

Man, cops are the fucking worst humans. We need to up the standard for hiring to include a basic psych evaluation.

Except people increasingly don’t have stable jobs with protections which is why people say it! As the gig economy rapidly replaces these classic jobs with protections, long term staff jobs become freelance only positions with no benefits or protections, and full time jobs no longer cover the cost of living, the floor…

I do. Did you know when people refer to late capitalism in this context they’re referencing the recent developments of extreme extractive capitalism which are not tenable for the long term health of either the businesses strip mining human lives for cash or the people attempting to live under it, which is leading to…

This might the best example I’ve ever seen of a comment on the internet that is 100% technically correct but yet absolutely useless for the task at hand.

Yeah, crazy how language evolves over 120 years, innit?

and, of course, we use all words and terms exactly the same way as we did 100 years ago.

It was worth it to pause the end credits and read the whole piece about “T-Shirt Gate.” I would be interested in trying to read the other articles that Oliver paged through when he discovered the notebook.

I assume they monetized the podcast and had the random sponsorships (like wasn’t Teddy their sponsor at one point). I’m also willing to just shrug and be like “it’s TV and she’s doing doordash between episodes lol.”
