Trump and his whole dumb fuck cabinet are guilty of “malicious communications” pretty much every time they speak…

There could be if people had / acted in accordance with any kind of principles of self respect. They’re ants in some rich mega douche’s ant farm, donating their time and energy to their captor, but refuse to make the fucking 6-inch journey to a free ant hill beside them.
Almost all of us are here because of the API bullshit. Those who stayed did us a favour, I reckon.

It still passed emission tests. The 1.8T engine (also common in Audis) was super tunable.
- Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription 4 weeks ago:
This has been true for decades with VW and other cars… I had my 2000 Jetta chipped and got all kinds of HP and torque. Some dude just plugged in a laptop, beep boop, vroom vroom. $600 please.
This just seems like VW cutting out those middlemen.

Sounds like you can save 85% by putting some googly eyes on the chip and calling it a finished product. It’s Chippy, the pointy pet that fits in your pocket.

Imagine you’re in Photoshop “retouching” your own portrait. First, you remove the little bit of makeup that smudged near your eye. Fair enough. It was distracting. But now that it’s gone, your eye sees a wrinkle and decides that’s probably distracting too.
Now the wrinkle’s gone and you’re studying the image again. Aha! A mole near your temple! That can go, too.
So now the makeup smudge, the wrinkle, and the mole are gone. You study the image again for flaws…
And that’s how it happens. Every time you “fix” something you re-evaluate and will always find something to change because your goal has slowly shifted from making you beautiful by reducing “distractions”, it’s to find and fix “flaws” which, turns out, are infinite when you take this approach.

- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 3 months ago:
He convinced the government to subsidize the sale of his products to consumers. It makes sense on paper because we want more people driving electric cars. However, Tesla of all companies doesn’t deserve the “handout”, even though it’s to consumers. They don’t deserve the boost in sales, recognition, etc.
It’s not technically a scam (the best kind!) but it’s helping out the richest man and biggest asshole in the world, so it might as well be.

Your fatigue with it all is kind of their end game, I think? They’re doing stuff that probably should be talked about everywhere because it affects everyone. When people with authority grow tired of people complaining about it and trying to moderate it out, you’ve got problems.
