  • Sadly, they are. What you can purchase and what you can legally drive are governed by different rules. In the EU, a vehicle doesn’t necessarily need to have EU type approval to be imported and registered.

    That’s why you can, find non-EU-spec vehicles on European roads. For example, red rear indicators, even though EU-approved vehicles generally require amber indicators.

    The process is tedious, and there may be modifications involved, but nothing outright prevents you from getting a Cybertruck individually approved and driving it legally on EU roads. I know of 5 or so cases, where somebody jumped through those hoops.


  • Another thing I noticed is that the character is named Dilberg. That’s awfully close to Dilbert, and combined with the office setting it feels like it has to be a reference.

    I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be satire (because the Dilbert guy is a twat), an homage (because the author is a twat who likes another twat), or just a coincidence.

    It’s another point where the comic seems more confusing than communicative.



  • There is a fine line between valid criticism of gender roles & sexism.

    An example of the former would be, “Men are dangerous for women”. Of course not all men are dangerous, but it describes the experience of many women & how they have to navigate the world, to not be assaulted.

    This one describes the dynamic of a relationship between individuals & assigns a thought pattern to one of those individuals, based on their gender.

    Maybe I missed some nuances here & I would be glad to be enlightened, but this looks like plain sexism.
