I think I'm remembering this early patch that finished several questlines that seemed to just end:

Several side quests were unfinished or broken at launch, weren't they?

Oh, that wouldn't be the same! I'll have to supplement my vehicle with incredibly smug bumper stickers.

(I don't mind being downvoted, but I think I should point out for the sake of not making someone's depressive mood worse that this and my previous comment in this thread were meant to be humorous and I'm not actually this insane. I don't expect my Bolt EUV to seriously impress anyone. I do like driving it though!)

I drive an EV and I always tell people not to buy one for this or that reason. The truth is that I don't want too many other EVs on the road because I bought it just to feel superior to others, and I can't do that if everyone else also drives an EV.

You can both relax! I checked each word and neither of you misspelled anything.

The way I remember "discovery" working on Napster was when someone incorrectly labeled unrelated music as by an artist you searched for. Wow, new music!

Here's what Kagi gave me:

The passage discusses the concept of "enshittification" in the tech industry, where companies initially attract customers through innovation but then exploit them by increasing prices and fees. This phenomenon has occurred at companies like Facebook, Google, Uber and food delivery services. The term was coined by author Cory Doctorow to describe how these companies stop innovating and focus only on generating value for shareholders at the expense of customers. However, the passage notes that increased unionization among tech workers and more aggressive antitrust enforcement could help reverse these trends and encourage more competition in the industry. An interesting point highlighted is that while enshittification is not necessarily directly malicious, it can be a product of business environment pressures and lack of regulation that incentivize prioritizing profits over customers. This suggests policy changes may be needed to realign company incentives with serving users.

You shouldn't be annoyed though, you're the happy guy in the meme

You're both completely wrong. The only important measurement of a vehicle is spirit
