Through the 90s and visiting various areas of the US, those things were always there but not discussed in the open. People would say disgusting shit to people they thought they were safe saying those things to.
We’ve come to the point where people will say they aren’t racist but will still defend racist views and say racist shit but it’s not all brown people, just certain ones.
We’re probably about 6 months from having these assholes walk around with armbands.
Look at the robo taxi situation they have going. The same tech that is stopping people off in the middle of the road is what is being used for FSD.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we found out that the whole thing is a scam and there is some sweat shop full of teenagers remotely driving cars. I feel like the random stops where they shouldn’t stop is exactly how someone who learns how to drive playing GTA would drive.
Seems that he is confusing desperation for dedication. The only people who are going to wait for an hour are those who have no other choice.
It seems to me that he is really testing their ability to put up with his bullshit more than anything. One of my biggest pet peeves professionally is respect for the time of others.

Finally got around to writing everything up. I’d love to eventually add some visual customizations and chain loading of the installed OS.
I’ll work on putting something together with all of the details.
Recently I recreated my favorite drive. Runs grub, stores multiple distros it can boot from, has a standard exfat partition, and an encrypted partition.
In many ways democracy is a lie. You still have a system of government that puts a handful of people in fairly powerful positions. These people will always do what is needed to keep the power they have.
For centuries democracy has focused on the elites. They have done a good job of keeping participation low and therefore creating an under informed population. Commonly in the US, you’ll hear phrases like “It doesn’t matter who I vote for.” “My vote doesn’t count.” “They’re all the same.”
When you have a voting populace who has regularly not participated and talk with authority to them, you can get them to buy whatever you’re selling.
In some ways that is the answer. Crashes keep happening because they are not being held accountable to regulators because they are not reporting these incidents and no one is exercising oversight to be sure the reporting matches reality.
I think over the years, accurate reporting by manufacturers has been done because they generally do not want to be known as that car company that killed a child and it could have been prevented with a 50 cent bolt. As a result, regulators have been less hawkish. Of course there are probably political donations in the US to help keep the wheels turning.
I disagree. The joke is meh without the names. If they did the same thing but with 2 made up people or cartoon characters it would fall flat. This format is disingenuous and doesn’t hold up without making it seem like celebrities said it.
I’ve come to the realization, at least where I live, that a hell of a lot of accidents are prevented because of drivers who are actually aware and safe. This goes a bit beyond defensive driving IMO. I’m talking flat out accident avoidable. There is an entire class of drivers who are not even aware of the accidents they have almost caused because someone else managed to avoid their stupid driving.
The majority of accidents that are likely to happen with these robocoffins will be single car or robocoffin meets robocoffin. The numbers on safety after a year will be acceptable because non accident causing error prone driving is not reported in any official capacity.
I still maintain that the only safe way to have autonomous vehicles on the road is if they do not share the road with human drivers and have an open standard for communicating with other autonomous cars.
This reads dystopian to me.
Can’t wait to see how well it works to glue armored panels on.

I’d call him a douche nozzle, but I doubt he sees that much action.
Fucking cunt thinks he invented something he calls Bottle night. No, he just found a way to make spending time with him bearable. Fucking little shits have to “invent” something to spend time with actual people
Background checks can cover a variety of areas. The last 5 companies I’ve worked for have all done them. Education verification was not on any of them. They were mostly concerned about criminal records. A few of them did credit checks.
Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.
We’re fucked
Imagine how bleak things would be if Amazon was running the show. USPS is truly the best
I’m sorry you are only subscribed to Amazon letter prime, in order to get your packages you must collect them from your nearest whole foods or upgrade to prime plus.
We’re sorry prime plus is not available in your service area.
And if the only people willing to work for the tyrant only kids the ring, it will take a long while for someone to stop his worse actions, if anyone ever does.
I don’t believe in heros, they were just brave enough or dumb enough and in the right place to do some good. And that might actually describe this guy. But still just a flawed person.
I absolutely disagree with much of what Liz Cheney supports, but I’ll still give her props for serving on the J6 committee knowing what it could mean for her career.
Subscription based navigation? Want to use your car’s navigation system, there’s a fee for that? Want to fly a drone, that’ll be 9.99/month. Hopefully there will be a carve out for emergency systems.
This will also allow Tesla to up their traffic game. If everyone is using the Starlink GPS for navigation they’ll have all the data.
Oooh do you think that would work on my 96kbps mp3s?
I’m an American with some outdated experience from about 25 years ago.
I loved Germany and would love to return. I’ve even thought about migrating there, though I know this would not be simple.
I was there for about 3 weeks. My last name is very Italian, but apparently the family i was starting with hoped it was Spanish and expressed this with shock when I corrected them.
During my time there I witnessed quite a bit of racism directed at Italians and Turks. As it was explained to me, post WWII Germany encouraged migrants from Italy and Turkey to rebuild the workforce. What I witnessed was that Italians and Turks were looked down on and often held to lower jobs.
It’s been 25 years. I hope things have changed.
