Also, if you want a cis-het flag, and don't like the one they've got, you can make your own. There is no rule against it. They can't stop you.

This is technically true but people would (correctly, IMO) look askance at someone waving cis pride or straight pride flag. I say this as a cis (but not het) person.

Flags for liberation movements: cool and good.
Flags for powerful, majority groups/systems: ehhh, why exactly do you want a flag?

Next someone will be asking for flags for capitalism or patriarchy.

I mean... Blade Runner is a job title, so maybe he just made a grammatical mistakes and simply meant "What Bladerunners would have driven"? :lmao: regardless mind you, get dunked on.

Whenever someone mentions Blade Runner, it's one of my favorite movies ever but ever since I was informed of it I instead first thing of the shortlived wrestling tag team the Blade Runners (Both of whom became much more famous when they were no longer a sort of vaguely Roy Batty-esque tag team lol)

Look, when we light it real good at night, and then speed up the footage it will look real great just fantastic, trust me okay!

We don't have the budget for lights? poo poo, no actually, that's even better, so hear me out, we still film it at night...

Hey guys, I can’t wait for the new movie/video game crossover to come out. It will star John B. Laderunner teaming up with the space marine Metroid to find Zeldas sword.

Please make sure to talk about it on X, the everything app.

I am very smart.

The cybertruck is clearly more like something robocop would drive than bladerunner.

The Jeep just effortlessly flying up that hill in the background of the third video while the Cybertruck Austin Powers itself is absolute perfection.

So, are they just being really soft on these things or do the drivers just feel unsafe I wonder. There should be tons of low-end torque on a vehicle like that but they drive them like they have no power.

The old beater truck trivially navigating a huge incline in the same road in the video's background while the Cybertruck struggles over a small bump in the foreground is just :kiss:

The most charitable interpretation I could make is that they are worried about bottoming out the truck since thats where the battery packs are and bad things happen if they get punctured.

Why didn't they make the bottom from the same themanuclear explosion-proof panels?

The bar is so incredibly low for these people.

It's SO low. It boggles my brain that the most "valuable" car company is putting this poo poo out and it still holds value.

It's always been a huge game emperor's new clothes and it drives me absolutely nuts.
