A PSA for Rivian Complainers

[s4wrxttcs]

5th graders?
How about licensed stock market traders who think a stock is "cheap" after it splits 2 for 1 so they start buying it?
Don't even try to convince drunk college kids that one large 18 inch pizza is larger than two medium 12 inch pizzas … : )

Thankfully drunk college kids these days have ChatGPT to let them know that one 18inch pizza is larger than two medium 12 inch pizzas.

I did just test this out to make sure the conclusion was correct.

I could imagine a time in the near future when aliens visit this planet for the third time. They declare "We first visited when you had Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and we found you to be a good species of culture and potential.
We visited a second time when you had The Smiths, The Beatles, The Doors and The Rolling Stones, Billie Holiday and Elvis Presley. We found you to have advanced beyond our expectations with great potential.
We visit you today and wonder what went wrong."

Hopefully the aliens give us another go round and erase tiktok to help us along the way.

Y'all are amateurs. I spent 15 years in the 80's because, as an Army brat in Germany, they lasted until 1995. We spent years listening to a tape in the car that my father recorded when he went on temporary duty to "the land of the big PX" in the mid-80's.

You know who's really suffering? My wife, who hates Hall & Oates!

Ima just gonna leave this here.....

Sooo….are you predicting the failure of Rivian despite a superior product?

Or are you saying Rivian will be successful despite charging more while giving you less?

... the list of 80's talent is endless.

Back in the late 80's as a kid, worked at Radio Shack (it's two words damn it!!) in Bayshore NY. The rapper Biz Markie used to come in my store usually buying speakers, boomboxes, mic, etc. he was a nice guy- larger than life personality. Even as an unknown he always had an entourage tagging along behind him. It was sad to seem him pass in 2020 due to complications from diabetes.

Can't believe Michael slipped through the cracks like that, like a smooth criminal.

The cracks were still less than 8 years old ?

Then again, Michael McDonald would slip in like a smooth Doobie.

This list wouldn't be complete with this oily, greasy dude from The Lost Boys. A cult classic that I recorded on my grandma's VHS because we didn't have cable. My gym teacher let me play it for our class on the last day of school. Everyone loved it. Side note: I had a major crush on Jami Gertz from this movie and, well... Anyway, she's since married a billionaire and owns the Atlanta Hawks.

 

[jakef801]

The 80s covered ages 5-15 for me so it was definitely a different experience. If I were an adult then I’m pretty sure I would be dead.
