> It is amazing that this has to be confirmed on a website...
I think it has a lot of memetic power because it’s plausible given the other things she’s said, like trying to deflect to economic “success” by pointing out the DOW ~is~ was over 50,000.
It also doesn’t need to be an attributed quote in order to reflect the countering sentiment: “Yes, prosecute those in the Epstein files no matter the geopolitical and economic cost.”
It also has a certain whiney, servile tone to it that makes it just annoying enough to trigger the leftist “ick” instinct.
Idk, I hope the 50,000 dol- meme picks up and people stop spreading this fabricated quote.
> It's deceptively styled to look a big boy car, but it's a matchbox. That's why no reviewers will show themselves or anyone else towering over it. It's for those who want a big car, but without all that space.
I miss the days when men looking to compensate would buy sports cars. It wasn't any less ridiculous, but at least they (edit: the cars) were better looking and more fun to drive.
If only those ridiculous guys who wanted something fun to drive had realized how much more fun they could have by making fun of people and feeling superior.
I guess it depends on what they were compensating for. Up until the 80's and 90's at least there was more association of racing cars with road cars that you could buy.
So that would associate you with the (A man's manly-man maybe?) driver of that car.
But now race cars are not really much like a production road car. And those older men with money don't necessarily want to be like the ever younger drivers being employed to win races.
As you say, ridiculous, but at least the sports cars were cool.
I thought Anthropic's commercials were pretty good at skewering advertising in AI, but from an effectiveness standpoint I don't know how much Joe Sixpack cares about (or is even aware of) different AI companies.
If only the NFL had chosen a pop star who sings in English for the halftime show, then we'd all live in harmony and all the people "concerned" about the country being overrun by Latinos would relax and embrace multiculturalism. /s
