The reason these myths are so enduring is because they had a LONG time to gestate before the Internet showed up. If Readers Digest had a Snopes column in the 1970s (and why the hell didn’t it!) they would’ve been long dead.

In a larger sense, never treat anything on social media as a primary source for anything. The major news outlets have a hard enough time checking facts and validating sources, then you have to sift through their biases, too. If you read it on a social feed, treat it like a conversation you overheard between two drunk…

Neutral: crossovers - like cars - aren’t all created equal. My Macan is glorious, and Porsche’s sales of the things suggest that plenty of other people feel the same way. That said:

But even if the business case is clear, it’s a strange look for any company in 2020 not to even pretend to care about climate change when it comes to electric vehicles, but that also speaks to the power of government intervention, since you get the sense that if Chinese and European regulations didn’t require them to…

Yea, Erik pulled his jump-to-conclusion-mat out with this one. Still building ICE in 2050 simply means that BMW doesn’t expect full phase out of ICE by that time. There is no comment on volume splits or anything like that. BMW is obviously integrating electricity in their lineup.

Spoken like someone who can’t grow a beard.

“I got hooked by the cinematography here, which actually is quite impressive.”

I’ve never seen Pawn Stars, but that was a thrillingly vivid description, and as much as I enjoyed reading it, it fills me with a strong desire not to ever watch the show.

I really hope that The Mandalorian leads to an increase in streaming series that release episodes weekly and keep episode lengths reasonable. It was so fun having a new episode each Friday and never have it feel like a chore to watch. More of this, please.

Morgan Freeman or GTFO.

Ah, yes, From the Book of Vincent (Vega).

That Mercedes commercial with the kid blackmailing Santa offends me deeply.

They don't have any kids, that small person is actually their maid. 

That’s the Chinese character for resurrection. My guess - a reborn soul mowed down by an Audi in a previous life or a former BMW owner still carrying a grudge.

I’m sorry that you feel marginalized by pet owners.

MEOW!

I mean, everything you just listed convinced me that having a pet over a child was the right decision.
