If I ask you to turn the car left and you give me this speech I would eject from the car.

If a steering wheel has you this perplexed then I beg you to never ever drive a vehicle.

They don’t. They are not competitors. This is not a product that exists as a real purchasable item. Those little robot dog toys are closer to BD than what Elon has done here.

Imagine it as if it were a track you were driving around, which way would you turn the wheel?

It is a menu driven battler that ran on a game boy. It doesn’t take a programming savant to write this, no matter how many mechanics you bolt on top.

if you're going to risk federal charges i think you should probably do it in service of something a little more substantial than a lukewarm voting drive. especially when everyone you convince to participate is ostensibly on "your side" and they will also be risking federal charges.

too many people praising this think clever wording and specific language is like iron-clad armor against a judge saying "no fuck you, your intent was clearly to break or circumvent the law. go to jail/pay this fine". that only works for the rich.

im not rolling them out dude, im saying that slavery was the primary issue even if those talking points had any ounce of truth to them. i only brought it up because I expected you to try and deploy that shitty argument and wanted to get ahead of it.

i do not think its historical revisionism to say that the South was the Bad Side in the american civil war. there may have been other motivations beyond slavery for either side but the primary disagreement was over that one pretty specific issue! i feel pretty confident saying that slavery is unequivocally bad, even if people who technically could be considered my political predecessors did it!

and i used the example of liberal regimes specifically because I know there's hundreds of examples of it being true, it wasn't an attempt to paint what you said as false. it was an attempt to highlight the weird, almost non-sequitur defensive nature of the response. like someone saying that pie is good and then posting a response about how apples are actually a source of CYANIDE!!!!

tell me something man, if you pointed out that the south was in favor of slavery because some shithead was accusing someone of being a confederate soldier for opposing slavery, then I came along and started saying OHOHOHO DID YOU KNOW THAT ACTUALLY PLENTY OF LIBERAL REGIMES PARTICIPATED IN HISTORICAL SLAVERY SCHEMES THAT DID UNTOLD GENERATIONAL DAMAGE, what would you think of me, as a person?

that you felt the need to post "but the communists!" after someone points out that Nazi's did the same thing the people who created this ad would do is extremely telling.

You have ten years to do something you’ve known needed to be done for over twenty. My bet is in ten years they will be given another ten year “deadline”, if whatever mechanism Biden established to enforce this even exists at that point. Same dance they do with climate regs.

You can explain that to people but it still won't convince them to spend any amount of time doing math in a grocery store unless they're so desperate for cash that the problem is well beyond the scope of pricing schemes.

Great, now I can more accurately compare how all the brands are shrinking at roughly the same rate. The problem isn’t consumer education, it’s implicit market collusion. Coke shrinks and doesn’t lose profit so Pepsi shrinks so Coke shrinks so Pepsi shrinks, etc - a race to the bottom feedback loop.

Unit pricing is good, but I don’t really think it solves this particular issue. Every time I see unit price even listed it’s in tiny, near illegible font under the massive bold item price, and every time I’ve point d the out to people they don’t give a shit because they aren’t going to spend 5 minutes comparing the prices of soda bottles so they can squeeze out less than a dime’s worth of savings.

“Heading toward”? There have been two apocalyptic storms smashing into the US back to back. Worldwide drought, record setting heatwaves, a significant increase in tornadoes, wildfires, and flooding. These fuckers are gonna keep pretending we’re still on the precipice until we’ve hit the bottom of the cliff.

Wow that’s a lot of aid! I wonder what happened that made them need so much of it ?

No but I would like to know how possible it is for what I believe to be the most humorous outcome to occur.

Does deadlock have tie games?

The major breakthrough here is a method for interfacing brain like organic tissue (that they had already developed) with electronic components. They’re using the brain tissue in a similar fashion as a neural network based AI and training it to relay signals to electronic components in response to certain stimuli, if I understood the article correctly; I skimmed quite a bit though.

Pointing out a failed promise doesn’t necessarily imply you wanted them to follow through with it. For example, noting that Trump failed to get Mexico to pay for his wall doesn’t mean I actually wanted him to succeed.
