Probably just a troll farming for clown awards.

Mine is a Mercedes, but I have observed this on most cars around here that are younger than ~5 years. Just today when biking to work, almost any newer Mercedes, BMW, VW or Skoda didn’t have a model badge on the back. KIA and Hyundai were like 50/50.
The exception for BMW seems to be their electric vehicles, which were all badged with their model.

Also something I have noticed is that “performance badges” (AMG, STI, M, GTI etc.) don’t seem to be affected by this - they often remain on the car.

My car doesn’t have the model or engine size written on the back either, this is not exclusive to Tesla (although, depending on the make it might be an option to remove it when buying a car).

The manufacturer badge is usually enough, in my opinion. If you can’t identify the model on the spot, as long as you can identify the brand and want to learn about the specific model you saw, you’ll hit their website or dealership and identify it there. And with a brand like Tesla, that only has 5 fairly distinct models, it should be fairly easy to retroactively point out the model you saw - compared to a brand like BMW for example.

Game is on sale for $5, 75% off on steam right now.

“where are you from?”
“Tennessee”
“No, I meant what country you originaly come from”

The game was 75% off during the summer sale for like $5. hope you’ll find it this cheap again.

I believe I only saw the game being “announced” because I follow a currator on steam that highlights games being de-listed soon. And at some point, i got notified about Braid being delisted soon, because of the remaster.

There was also a fairly high introductory discount for people who owned the original on steam, and it dropped to a 75% discount only a month after release.

Many people own and played the original, myself included. When the remaster was announced, I looked at it, and it looked like exactly the same game to me. I didn’t see a reason to purchase the game again.

To be fair, OP asked to be abused.

As someone working as on-site IT support for over 15 years, I can’t tell you how often I have asked people to restart their computer over the phone and they swore they did (“multiple times even”), only for me to eventually come around to their desk and having them actually reboot the device in my presence and for the problem to actually fix itself.

One Lady I asked to restart their computer said “all right, hold on.” only to respond not even 10 seconds (!) later "I did, its still not working„ and after the third time I went to her desk and asked her to show me what she did. She leaned forward, turned off the monitor, then turned it back on. “I did this 10 times already, and its still not working”.

Some people just lie about rebooting, some simply don’t actually know how to reboot properly. After a few months, you get to know who’s lying, who’s doesn’t know better and who’s actually telling you the truth, you get to know your coworkers.

You can call them “communities” if you want, but it’s longer and can’t easily be shortened.

I propose “commies”

as a tire enthusiast, I can certainly see the intended joke, but it falls flat on it’s face as it should be quite obvious to anyone that this thread pattern is not from a Goodyear tire, but quite clearly Pirelli. 🤓

depends on who’s asking. Are you a cop?
