Don’t you know the world is Europe and America and “secluded tribes in Africa” only. This guy is running on pure vibes lol

Okay you’re still projecting American sensibility on the rest of the world … what you’re saying is a vibe and not objective reality.

If you want to launch into a completely different and separate conversation about safety and street legality of the cybertruck here we can but the short of it is - I agree that swastikar shouldn’t be road legal.

HOWEVER, your initial claim was about how the design should not be recognizable under a tarp and that it’s a bad design if it is. That’s just objectively false.

Again we’re just over generalizing for no reason. A large part of what? America? I don’t think the trends here are the same exact thing as mainland china or Africa my dude. You can’t find that moment in history at all because you’re just projecting an America/western Europe centric view of the world onto the entire world’s population.

Usually I’d let this go but by all principles of design and all historic reality you’re just wrong. You want “optimum shape” wtf are you even talking about? Optimum for what? You talking aerodynamics? Because newsflash, check last 30 years of F1 with as optimized aero as it gets and it’s a spec car … yet they still have brilliant unique and recognizable designs. Idk what a designer did to you to be so salty about this but you’re just wrong and it’s a very weird hill to dig yourself onto

Okay if it’s due to porn than why has this trend been cyclical and dates back to ancient Egypt at least? There’s evidence of people shaving their pubes in the Roman times as well. It’s maybe come back in style because people saw it in porn but that’s just a trigger not really an explanation given the historic context

Oh for sure! I got banned for “inciting violence” when I called desantis “a wanna be fascist in fake cowboy boots” and it got spam reported by conservative snowflakes. There is literally no staying unbanned on Reddit if you have any form of moral compass or social awareness

They ban for literally anything probably because their Reddit moderation is handled by AI. The simple fact that many reports = certain ban regardless of behavior is reason enough not to be in that cesspool

Okay counter example, all social media with its black box rightwing feeding rage bait algorithms instead of message boards. It’s all tech, what companies that drive these changes do affects us all in what we can and cannot use. Yes there has been technological progress that’s overall good, but there are many things that are a negative on society. Nobody is blaming the concept of technology… that’s just naive. Obviously the qualm is with the implementation and access to said tech which is necessarily gated and groomed by big corps.

Some more examples:

• unsafe touch screens instead of buttons in cars
• smart appliances you can’t avoid unless you buy used
• forced use of QR codes (stupid levels of unsafe) for payment in what used to be cash businesses

I’m still a big fan of great tech advancement and yes the problem is with companies. Or more precisely, with how much influence these companies have on our choice and access to technologies

Yes and no. It’s objectively true that things like streaming services, food delivery, and online communications got worse not better over time. It’s not true for all things but there are definitely things that simply got worse for profit

A dude with the power to punish all the pedophiles but choosing not to is not crying over “the weight of his role”. The amount of immoral shit you probably have to justify to even be considered for the position is just gross

My buddy would have one in his wallet and all the doggies in the airport were mighty friendly with him. For me that’s just extra anxiety while traveling when I can use pretty much anything to grind weed in a pinch (all pun intended)

Ahh classic, the bigots don’t realize that they’re the fuel for the horrific machine and will be disposed as soon as they’re no longer useful
