This is supposedly a EV battery ejection system to make battery fires easier to control. Pedestrians and cyclists had best say goodbye to their lower legs.

      If I had to take a guess, it’s about perceived tone. Connotation becomes extremely important in online discourse.

      Rather than “No. Here is the rest of what I have to say,” I recommend “Nah, here is the rest of what I have to say.”

      It’s a lot less forceful, more conversational.

      I dunno, like I just imagine someone saying it in real life and it’s either very uppity or very neckbeard, fedora, know-it-all-y. Like “um ackshually. No.”

      That kind of vibe?

      Like, the comment could’ve just started with the second sentence, without the “No.”, you know?

          It’s the way I read it. I’m just sharing my perspective, and that’s what I’m able to do. Diplomatic phrasing/tone isn’t something everyone can write fluently. 🤷‍♂️ The “No.” just had no place in there either, which is what set the tone. The message could’ve been delivered without the “No.”, because there was no question or statement, really. You see what I’m saying?
