I remember there was an article somewhere about the creator being surprised and pleased by this because he had no idea

Iirc it's been somewhat reclaimed for awhile, I believe the process started once the creator spoke out about how it was all kinds of hosed.

Are Tesla owners just developing a persecution complex or do people really hate Musk now? Tough to say.
I let every Tesla owner I know (yup all 2 of them) that anytime I see a Tesla on the road I have to worry about it running over my dog without so much as slowing down. Point being it doesn't matter how responsibly you drive when I can't know whether or not a Tesla is using self-driving murdermode. I have to treat every Tesla like it's self-driving and ready to kill. That poo poo should not be on the road.

And as the article is keen to point out, Tesla as a brand is hated on both sides of the aisle. It's hated by right-wing gas-guzzling coal rollers for being an EV and it's hated by left-wing progressives for being associated with Musk and being a regulatory violating safety hazard.

That's certainly the vibe I got from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1eWIshUzr8 about trying to transition using the public healthcare. Not so much out right gently caress you trans people you're going to die in hell but more "eh the systems broken oh well what can we do to fix it? *doesn't fix it*. Oh do you really really want to transition? Come back in (I forget how long, it wasn't a requirement it was want the general practitioner made up). Okay okay I'll send the required paperwork *doesn't*.

Well a lot of that is the horrible right wingers in power are deliberately doing everything they can to destroy the healthcare system in general over there because they want to privatise it and make it american-style so the whole system is deliberately hosed.

Using an actual web browser is something that is becoming increasingly old-fashioned, using a browser on mobile is pretty much terrible on purpose for big sites.

I do use progressive web apps for some stuff on my phone. At least on Android it works well and you get an icon on your launcher like it's a regular app and the browser opens in full screen mode like an app would.

Well I mean USA is the best. What's that? You want me to spend 1000+ on a genetic test that I should probably do but my insurance won't cover? Oh you told me it was declined by my insurance but are incapable of just billing me even though I loving said that was fine? gently caress off. Just gently caress off. I still should find out what happened but I hate talking to people and I hate doing poo poo that I shouldn't need to. Even if you are lucky enough to be able to afford this poo poo it's still a loving lovely system. I also enjoyed when it took like 5 months to get my bill for a copay, something that should have just happened at the doctors office (well it shouldn't exist at all but it does so it could at least not be poo poo) but even if it didn't it took too loving long. Anyway good luck on the Americanization of your healthcare, that'll be fun for you.

You know what some low hanging fruit would be for cutting lines of code to meet your weekly quota? Cutting code comments and in-code documentation.

I'm sure that will have no implications a few months down the line when people need to revisit it.

Yeah, the NHS has seriously been gutted for like 10+ years and if covid hadn't of happened it would of probably been sold off in pieces by now. UK also declared we hate everyone with brexit so of course there's also a massive lack of staff AND it seems like we're going towards more funding cuts cause of tories little whoopsie on the economy.

It’s obviously not real. I could totally see boomers sharing this on Facebook though as if it was “Elon Musk SLAMS Gen Z” without realizing it’s making fun of dumb musk.
