I will be perma-banning whoever said the Dodge Ram

Twister was a good sales pitch too.

I had a first gen Colorado and while it did have an awful electrical issue with the Security system the inline 5 was an absolute beast of a motor - if not for the Security issue I would still have that truck.

Of course not! He’s like a middle school science teacher I had who said, without a drip of sarcasm, if we did well it was because he was a good teacher, but if we did badly it was because we were bad students. He was a total asshole.

Same here! My brother in law has been in the market for an EV, and said he would also own a Tesla tomorrow if Muck got the boot and was forced to sell his shares.

This is great advice, if we go back in time to the 90's or earlier.

The irony is that if he truly was a crusader about building eco-friendly products and doing the stuff to truly fight climate change — electric cars, solar roofs, clean manufacturing, etc — Tesla’s sales would probably be 3X what they were last year, and all the other businesses would be going like gangbusters. But he…

Bullshit. Elon Musk is why I don’t own a Tesla. And I’m certain I’m not alone.

I would like to inform the board that I will gladly quit my job and accept Musk’s CEO position for a mere 1/1,000th of the pay. I will even give them AI!*

If Tesla wants to recognize Musk for all his achievements, are they also going to recognize him for cratering their sales and stock price valuations?

If the stock market’s valuation was truly tied to company performance, Tesla wouldn’t be close to “worth” half a trillion. But as Musk recognizes, the current market is largely detached from company fundamentals, and now cult of personality drives prices. As a showman and cult leader, he indeed is the reason for the…

I don’t want every episode of DW to be like this. But if they are going to aim for contemporary satire or allegory with a critical eye, I’d prefer it if they swing big and miss than not try at all. And this one landed for me.

You missed the mark on this one, period, James. Everything in the episode is preparing you for that ending if you’re really watching it. Lindy outright rejects the Doctor and only listens to Ruby because she looks similar to the Finetime people. Even when they are giving advice, she is showing disdain to these…

I only watched this episode once. I felt a sense of dread throughout much of it, but I was able to compartmentalize it and keep it moving. But, near the end, things got really uncomfortable because I was seeing myself in The Doctor’s shoes.

I’m curious, how many times did you watch this episode?

Yep. I’m really not a Ford guy, but that Lightning is downright handsome next to the rolling garden shed.

It’s amazing how stupid the Incel-camino looks next to a regular looking truck.

Jesus, taking the wheel:

Don’t let Jesus take the Wheel, the dude is famous for walking everywhere. He has no idea how to drive.

Wow, that RV is full on insanity with all the person worship. I’d hate to even sit at the next table over from those people.
