Why does the whole world think Flanderization is a guide to be followed?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

I've never heard that word before so I had to look it up. Because obviously my first thought was Ned Flanders from The Simpsons.

For anyone like me here you go...

Flanderization is the process through which a complex fictional character's essential traits are oversimplified to the point where they constitute their entire personality, or at least exaggerated while other traits remain, over the course of a serial work.

Tesla used git push --force?

-f is way more economical. So yes.

It's probably too "woke" for Musk's new fanbase and he doesn't wanna look like he got hit by the "Woke Mind Virus".

Btw, I love the guys over at Edison Motors, who got fed up waiting for an all electric hauling truck, so they're retrofitting their own, under the slogan "Stealing Tesla's Ideas".

So long as we're talking about Tesla knockoffs, gotta love Nikola's attempt to fake it til they made it with absolutely no tech, rolling the prototype down a hill n hoping no one noticed.

As some one who loves Nikola Tesla and despises everything Edison stood for, I can't help but respect what I've heard about Edison Motors

Here's a fun fact

Thomas Edison was one of the first people to speak out against putting radium in fucking everything. When everyone was going absolutely nuts for radiation, Edison refused to join the craze and wouldn't work with radium or polonium after watching an assistant develop a skin condition after working with X-rays.

I think it's funny and pretty clever that they're sort of turning the Edison name on its head

I struggle with my own mortality, but reminded by this asshat why life limits are a good thing.

Dude still thinks the truck-o-sexuals are going to buy his car if he panders to the MAGAt crowd.
