Right? And I could even get it, prior to it being clear that nearly every promise was a lie. Actual self driving? Your car turning into a taxi when you don’t need it? An off-road vehicle with 500 mile range? Would’ve been incredible. Instea

I’ll never stop finding it weird how utterly disconnected TSLA and BYD are from actual corporate performance and how long the culture/meme war can sustain a remarkably shitty company’s market cap, in spite of almost schedulable fuck up

I get it on 2, but I’m not sure how good a take you’d get on that from a rehearsed, scripted video. I also sort of feel like, people already hate cover letters. Now we’re trying to normalize audition videos? Maybe it’s me who’s out of touch

Right? Photos and video? Why would I ever want to post video on my resume? Why would I ever want to watch someone’s video if I was hiring? Are we trying to land tech roles or screen time on reality TV?

God forbid we listen to experts when we have the choice to listen to celebrities and social media, instead. Glad to see scientific literacy falling off a cliff. On the plus side, middle America can stop worrying about the price of eggs, soo
