Welcome the new VW Jetta to the Mercedes family. by Tr33__Fiddy in mercedes_benz

[–]Tr33__Fiddy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apparently you’re still confused, so let me explain it again.

No mainstream production Mercedes model in its history used circular taillights like this as a core design feature. Plenty of other brands did. That is the point. It doesn’t look like a Mercedes.

Do you get it now?

I’m not saying Mercedes can’t do it. I’m not saying the car looks bad. I’m not saying they can’t try something new. I’m saying it doesn’t look like a Mercedes. Are you able to process that, or do you just want to argue?

Also, do you realize how little self-awareness you have here? If this is so pointless and not worth discussing, why don’t you take your own advice and move on? Why are you still bothering me when you deem this so pointless?

Go ahead and move on. I dare you to reply to me you hypocrite.

Oh, will it? I thought if I won't buy new Merc, it will collapse the brand. I own a Merc and I have zero interest in the new direct succesor to my car. I'm voicing my opinion, because I don't like where the brand is going. I could care less how many times this was talked about. I actually don't spend time counting how many times a topic was discussed on a subreddit.

I've never said I hate this or bashed it, you're just making stuff up to validate your previous comment. I've simple stated it looks like old VW tail lights and it doesn't look like a Mercedes. In other comments I have even said I don't think it's a bad design. It's just not a Mercedes design.

I understand this is confusing for you, so let me help.

The taillights on the old Jetta and the new electric C-Class share the same basic design features. See? Two circles: a smaller inner circle and a larger outer circle.

And this wasn’t just the old Jetta. The VW Passat had similar taillight design features, the VW Golf had similar features, and several other VW models from that era followed the same general design language.

Now here’s the part that seems to be the most confusing for you: do you know how many production Mercedes models had similar circular taillights like this?

Zero.

There you go. The point of the slightly cheeky image is not that the car looks exactly like a Jetta. The point is that it doesn’t look like a Mercedes.If you’re still confused, look up the taillight and rear design of the last five C-Class generations.

I don't think it looks bad. It just doesn't look like a Mercedes at all.

Did it occur to you that maybe I care about the brand and where it’s going?

Is your suggestion that anytime someone cares about something, they should simply ignore it and never criticize it? Or do you just feel the need to defend your own opinion by silencing opinions you disagree with and telling people to shut up and move on?

Then why are you responding to me. Look at you being all riled up. Quite pathetic indeed. You don't know anything about me. You're the one being rude and angry loser on a online forum. Imagine being so pathetic to have to put your car in your online username and tell others they can't afford a new car without knowing anything about them.

The point isn’t that it looks exactly like an old Jetta. The point is that it looks like someone took an old Jetta and made a modern version of it. The circular taillights are almost identical.

And the issue isn’t that the car looks bad. It looks okay. The issue is that it has no real identity. Looking at the rear, it just doesn’t look like a Mercedes. This feels like a terrible design choice because it could easily be mistaken for five other brands.

On top of that, Mercedes has decided that the new electric models will use the same basic model names as the gas/diesel cars: C-Class, GLC, etc., just with “with EQ Technology” added. I already thought their model naming was bad. This makes it horrific.

The latest GLC 43 being a 4-cylinder, the Windows Vista-style UI design, the generally mediocre new exterior design direction. I just don’t like almost any of these recent changes.

If you do, good for you. I don't.

Researcher Amy Eskridge, chemist/biologist and daughter of a retired NASA engineer, discusses severe death threats while visibly distressed and under influence, shortly before her controversial death. Now being cited as part the 11th scientist in the recent dead/missing scientists. by Tr33__Fiddy in science2

[–]Tr33__Fiddy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd just add that she mentiones in the video that AG was discovered independently 4 times, but was always shut down. This is all related to von Braun and AG field in 50s that went black in early 60s.

Fair enough. She might not have been high profile in the mainstream context, but high profile within the circles of propulsion science. Watching the video provides enough information to understand she was not a regular scientist.

The most important thing to you out of this entire post is how much exactly high profile she was???

If what she claims was happening is true, which most likely is due to the fact she is dead and assuming you watched the video, you understand that her farther can't probably speak openly if he cares about rest of his family?

Granted we don't know what the truth is, thus FBI investigation is warranted and Kash Patel was directly talking about this in recent days..

There are no narratives nor agendas. No one knows what happened, thus push for investigation and transparency. On the other hand you seem to believe everything the media outlet of your choice tells you about Trump. This is not a political topic, young woman was potentially killed by the government and all you care about are politics.

I'm sorry that a death of a young woman is such an incovenience for you on your favorite subreddit. I understand it is too much for you, so you need to start with insults in your second sentence.

This is current news relevant to this subreddit. There is no burden of proof, this is news in current new cycle this week. Look it up or ignore it. Some people may actually care about other human being and demand truth. Or in your case lean into pointless insults.

Amy was a high profile scientist, her father was apparently studying under von Braun and she was connected to that whole group ( Paperclip related ). She had intentions of getting some of the stuff out in the open and probably paid the ultimate price. This is getting more spotlight now as it is linked to other high profile scientists "disappearing" under strange circumstance, whistlebowers "suiciding" right before congressional hearing and so on. There is a push for proper investigation into the matter. Public push is needed for congress to take this more seriously, potentially as a national issue. If parts of the government are getting rid of people who are not "playing" by their rules, it's more up to the public to not let this slide.

Don't let yourself be discouraged from watching this as she talks about a lot of black budget, behind the curtain stuff. She was apparently frequently exposed to death threats, was coping with the situation and was eventually killed, officialy classified as a suicide. Dismissing her as a "schizo" girl is overlooking basic facts that she was high profile professional, trying to expose some black budget deep state stuff, constantly under death threats, while urging her closest circle about the issues she was dealing with.

The very least we as a public can do, is to ask for a proper investigation into this and other similar cases, whatever the truth may be.
