Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

I blame social media for this. Everything gets an instant reaction, rebuttal, reaction video, breakdown, deep dive, whatever. There's always a winner and a loser whether its politics, sports, technology, cars, stocks, TV shows. And your team Winning is the only thing that matters.

Someone I know says "There's a reason Baskin-Robbins has 31 flavors."

It's okay to like something different than someone else.

Nuance is a dying art.

Sometimes both parties involved in an incident are idiots, but people for whatever reason, still try to pick a side.

I think it's been an issue long before the proliferation of social media.

People used to love their cigarettes so much that they would buy expensive Marlboro jackets to wear at social event and mocked people who smoked Camels. Both people probably ended up with Emphysema so there wasn't really a winner there.

Peoples' identities were enmeshed with consumerism and identity politics long before Xanga, Live Journal, Vine, AIM, MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, Weibo, Reddit, or whatever people will jump on next.

Social media just gave them visibility and an echo chamber of self congratulatory platforms to share those views with the entire world.

There is a very widespread misconception that the R2 and Traveler are direct competitors.

That could only be surface deep. Not even close. To the contrary, I wish Scout had a R2 competitor.

It's a progression, and looks like Scout is following the playbook. Crawl, Walk, Run!
Gotta get through the initial run, build credibility, trust and brand "re-awareness", then go for it.
We should see an R2 competitor, but it will clearly take time.

Okay I take everything I said back about only wanting a key fob. I want a fob and THIS!!!!! I don’t need it on my phone, but I always have my Apple Watch on. Always.

SM can we just take this from Rivian and do the same thing please.

And and android to please, I don’t want or need a reason to buy an Apple Watch, I prefer my galaxy watch

I would not be surprised to find this on a Rivian someday.

Oh my, I'm so sorry to do this, but it immediately popped in my head and I can't resist. Yes, I know I'm a child, my spouse reminds me daily...

It will never happen. I saw an article in Deustche van Autostrassen this morning that said Rivian is acquiring Scout motors. I can’t get it to translate or I would post the article. They are apparently also in talks with honda to use the Rivian software in Honda’s new small jet. Big things are happening!

I have no desire for either. I wear my new Scout watch and that makes me happy. Maybe they imbedded a signal in it for the future vehicles.

I saw the commercial for this today! I wear my Apple Watch 24/7. I have it on me more than my phone I would like to see Scout do something similar to this.

Maybe they are sneaking that feature into the watches without telling anyone. Then when you pick up your Scout, they casually mention that the Scout branded watches can be used as a fob for the vehicle.

Apple Watch on the left, Scout on the right. You have two wrists you know! That’s what I am doing.

You have got to be kidding!

He usually is.

 

[oldgeeksguide]

Yep, agreed. I believe humans are intrinsically lazier and more brainwashed than ever before.

I also blame all the complete suckers for clicking into stuff like this all day long... Just Don't do it!

Hopefully, there's still a chance we can return to an age of critical thinking (or at least "critical thinking on top of A/I"). LOL

Turns out you can solve all the problems with social media with this one weird trick that they don’t want you to know, but they can’t stop you…

Ah! A fine publication!

Would love that!
