They're all masochists. I've never seen a group that wants to be oppressed more than conservatives. Their lives revolve around bullshit perceived aggrievement.

I see a Reichertruck sometimes on my commute and wonder if the driver gets shit for it. It just gets an angry glare from me.
Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.
This is exactly like the support groups for parents who got NCed after refusing to get off their MAGA bullshit. Don't buy a dumb car if you don't want people to say you have a dumb car.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but, hypothetically if someone were to vandalise a Tesla to the point of it being written off, could the owner request that the insurance company replace it with a non-tesla car?
I like this “throwing slices of American cheese” at Cybertrucks. It’s barely even food, so it’s not really that wasteful. I’m sure the synthetic oilly shit has a wonderful reaction with that unprotected stainless steel. It’s also fucking hilarious - “hey police, someone threw cheese at my car, I’m in fear for my life.”
Just wanted to say that the hate on American cheese is unjustified. American cheese is just cheddar that has been heated to 170f (iirc) for long enough to kill bacteria and make it shelf-stable. They add an emulsifier (again, iirc) to help it bind better and have a more pleasant texture.
All other criticisms of America are valid, but the cheese doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
Literally this is why it gets hate. It’s not remotely Cheddar. Real Cheddar is deliberately none of these things. I love a crunchy cheese crystal and a crumbly organic texture. To each their own, but it’s not Cheddar, barely cheese. I’d have it in a burger, but only because so few places will melt real cheese properly. Brie is pretty good in a burger. Is Somerset Brie really Brie? Time for a Frenchman to tell me to gtfo…
I didn't say it was cheddar. I said it was made from cheddar. It's decidedly not cheddar, which is why it's not called "cheddar".
"almost" Cheese product....
That's Velveeta or canned cheese, explicitly not what's being discussed
American cheese is an actual cheese product
Honestly if you ever tasted anything else than cheddar and mozzarella, you know that americans cheese is something else. I'm willing to bet you could leave some slices in a forest and no animal would touch it.

It's cheddar and Colby Jack with some emulsifiers to make them mix better, that's about it
Kraft singles have preservatives in them so they're großer for sure, but that's not the only kind of American cheese there is
No I DONT know why my keyboard autocorrected that to use the German letter but it's funny so I'm leaving it as is
pleasant texture
I'd go with "rubbery".
"Pleasant" in the context of what it would be otherwise. My understanding is that, without the emulsifier, it would be crumbly and kinda chalky, and not hold a form very well.
I'm sorry, but have you never had actual Cheddar?
They missed that American is a mix of cheddar and Colby Jack, so it's not easy to mix the 2 without an emulsifier
Cybertrucks are ugly, poorly-built, and poorly-designed vehicles. These protesters are doing any potential owners who get deterred from wasting their money on them a favor.
You forgot no safer than a ford pinto.
Oh, the Pinto, with it's missing gas tank design, and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death. Gotta love the Pinto...
Edit: to be clear, I'd rather drive it than the boxy Prius wannabe.
and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death
It'd be funny if true but the Pinto sold for longer than the Gen II mustang, they just looked similar
So, they acting at the same level as Nazi...
Nazis are well known for having thrown slices of cheese at things.
If only throwing cheese, they vandalizing cars and charges
