Yeah, except in this case it's the megacorp sticking the stick in the spokes and the workers at the studio getting thrown off.

Gotta tell you, coming to the Midwest and being exposed to the gas stations here like Quiktrip and Casey's was a revelation. All we had on the west coast was AM/PM, and those guys are hot garbage.

I think most people are fine with it as long as you're genuinely trying to make the effort to be better.

It's when your age becomes an excuse to not bother that it becomes a problem.

OK, but what the hell was it actually?

They spent six figures on a truck that looks like ass, drives like ass, can't actually do truck things, falls apart in the rain and is the brainchild of the world's biggest douchebag.

It's the latter that really seals it, IMHO. The Cybertruck is the most purely Elon vehicle to come out of Tesla, and the first since Elon went full mask-off. Buying it, at great personal expense, and driving it around is basically saying you approve of everything he's doing.

Yeah, Mythbusters is fun and interesting, but don't mistake it for a scientific study. IIRC, Adam Savage himself has said they couldn't really apply the level of scientific rigor it would take to actually prove things due to the format of the show.

Still, it is food for thought.

Who's trying to take that right away?

So all of the groups in the comic have actual legislators passing laws against their ability to express themselves and control their own bodies and relationships, and you're mad some moderator of some online community somewhere told you to go be an asshole somewhere else.

Touch grass.

No, you're not against bigots and fascist assholes. You're just trying to coopt that language and try to draw a parallel between community moderators moderating their community and bigoted, fascist assholes literally oppressing people. I wasn't born yesterday.

That. Your vote is a powerful weapon, and you can tell it is by how hard they work to take it away. And we need to bring all our weapons to bear if we're going to make it through this. That means vote, but it also means don't stop at voting.

I remember renting that game back in the day and not getting very far, so I have no idea if that's an actual screenshot or not. But it should be.

Also that game was most non-triumphant, but this is a most excellent message.
