I’m guessing the franchise concept made sense many decades ago when it was stood up, however with the advent of the internet, things changed. Direct sales to customers became a lot easier and commerce boomed. What didn’t change were dealership franchise laws, which is why dealerships still exist.

My car’s built in navigation would have warned me that the route involved going off the road, assuming that it would even recognize a rough trail like that as a viable path in the first place.

Please, for the love of God. Stop. Playing. Overwatch. OW fans are the most masochistic self-hating whiniest, whinging little dorks. Why do you play just to hate yourself and the game? STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. 

I’d get some popcorn and watch Musk and Ye duke it out on accusations of plagiarism. 

Wrong decision? For who? It takes a tremendous amount of arrogance to presume you know the right decision for someone. 

Got anything that’s entirely devoid of misogyny?

And if you’re not fun, ladies, nothing you say could possibly be important or even accurate. If you’re also not pretty enough for a middle-aged man to get a half-chub, your words aren’t even noteworthy. Why is there noise coming out of your face?!

“Sounds like you’re a real treat at parties”

South Park’s parody attempt at it was so shitty and dismissive, it basically ended up “pandering” to incel chuds. And from your post, it definitely did what it was meant to do.

Nah, fuck your fragile little male ego.

I still feel middle misled by Nintendo that Legend of Zelda isn't all about Zelda, TBH. 

the conservation efforts put forth by the off-roading community

That’s a bullshit false equivalency and you know that. 

Bro, you’re fighting to defend the honor of fucking... He-Man.

It’s the fact that it’s EVERY. SINGLE. Franchise and adaptation.

“Most “angry white guys who hate women, etc” aren’t upset that women can be heroes, or black people are replacing white characters, or that LGBT stories extist”

If only all these people online who have provocative opinions and the courage to write them gave a flying fart about how much fun they were at parties, you legions of dudebrahs who simply cannot come up with anything other than the same gaddam line - every single time - might actually have a purpose for once.

I’m glad these folks are calling it out for what it is - irresponsible. I used to be of the mind that people should be able to buy whatever automobile they please, however when it leads to increased traffic, increased wear-and-tear on infrastructure, increased pedestrian related deaths, and a more polluted…

And pickup trucks don't even fit on the roads in the UK, don't forget that...

I have no way to know whether she’s fun or not, but she’s absolutely right. These ads are glamourising [sic not sic] the exact behaviours [sic not sic] and attitudes that are destroying our climate and environment and will be killing us at an accelerating rate. So I guess I don’t give a fuck about her personality.
