BMW pinned so much of their visual identity on their kidney grilles. Literally decades of variations on the theme, mainly just getting bigger and bigger.

30% profit drop. No Biggie. I bet it won’t even be mentioned at the AGM.

The EU should very much take this seriously and I’m glad that they are.

The charges are clear. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_25_2934

The guy explained the rational he didn’t say it was his personal view that it should be done.

And even if was his view we shouldn’t be down voting things based on whether you agree or not. We should do it on whether it adds to the discussion.

The quality of discourse on lemmy is fucking dire.
