This wouldn’t be a problem if showrooms for direct to consumer car buying was illegal too.

EDIT: In case you aren’t aware (not sure if this has changed in the last decade), in a handful of states, approximately 17 (maybe less) do not allow direct to consumer dealerships. This means in states that have laws against this, the manufacturers can not operate a dealership which they sell the vehicle. So effectively Tesla must conduct their sales entirely online. Since laws very from state to state, so much as discussing pricing can be illegal. If states are gonna ban the dealerships then why not just make the showrooms illegal too?

If they end up citing the famous Lancet paper, then you know they didn’t even try to make up new bullshit.

For anyone unaware, Lancet published a paper in 1998 that claimed there were links between the MMR vaccine and environmental triggers that lead to loss of acquired skills including language. The study being conducted turned out to be fraudulent, with parents of many of the children involved in lawsuits against the vaccine manufacturers, as well as unethical treatment of children. 12 years later in 2010, Lancet retracted the paper. This paper is a very well known source anti-vaccination proponents have frequently cited. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2831678/

EDIT: If you want to watch a video explaining the study, this here is a good one. https://youtu.be/i00SYBe63EQ

Blade Runner: The Final Cut. My favorite movie. If you watch the theatrical cut, shame on you. Seriously don’t do it. Sadly the sequel and related media are all connected to the theatrical cut. They fundamentally changed parts of the lore because of this. Secondly, The Final Cut is the canonical version.

The one thing in common: he filmed that last episode of Buffy and DS9 on the same week.

Didn’t you get killed by a giant snake?

You just reminded me of a joke from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. During the Ireland arc (“The Gangs Still in Ireland”, season 15 episode 6), Mac pursues an interest in becoming a Catholic priest. He ends up asking, in a vaguely worded question if it is okay to be gay. By the end, he basically nopes out when he realizes the priest was referring to relations with young boys.

Considering how closely associated this sect of Christendom is with FLDS, a cult, this isn’t a good image for them.

The guy calling for peace thinks it is okay for anyone to want to continue the violence. Fucking brilliant.

I’m sure many people who are science deniers will point to “the Bible” for facts. Try to quiz them on things in that book, I am sure they couldn’t answer a single question.

And some of them will tell you that pterodactyls are dinosaurs while denying that dinosaurs exist!

Obviously I don’t mean them.

The fact they don’t know (or pretend not to) why this is happening is the stupid part.
