As if I needed any more reasons to avoid their craptacular browser like the plague that it is.

Yes, it’s almost as if making a car with completely flat body panels is an idea so completely idiotic even John DeLorean wouldn’t do it…

Wait, I thought he was just bullshitting his fans with that. He’s actually serious? XD

Also, I don’t understand what this has to do with bare metal construction of the Cybertruck and why that should present exceptional difficulties. DeLorean figured out how to make bare metal cars more than forty years ago, so it can’t be that hard.

That’s what this meme about ‘sigmaposting’ is poking fun at. The sigma wolf is supposed to be the lone wolf who doesn’t need nor care about anybody else, and for some reason some people look up to that as an ideal to pursue. But wolves are social animals, so in reality the lone wolf is a failing loser.

Sudden? No, not really. People have sucked at reading comprehension as far back as I can remember (which is some decades).

Yes, but by other companies. Those problems are not created intentionally in order to create and exploit a market, they’re just consequences of those other companies doing business. Pretty much the only example of companies creating problems so that they can sell solutions I can think of is free-to-play games (e.g. make game excessively grindy on purpose to sell boosters). Some of that scummy monetization is now creeping into real-world products, with things such as subscription-based heated seats that are installed in your car regardless but disabled unless you pay up, but the vast majority of products and services on the market address problems that were not created by their manufacturers/providers.

Do you get more science or less if you use a baseball bat?

You can apply a matte finish yourself with a piece of fine sandpaper.
