It just actually looks like shit.

I've always thought of it as waste of our mental resources. But pollution describes it even better.

Pollution specifically engineered by psychologists to maximize its impact.

Didn't they elect Rudy Giuliani at some point

You also immediately called them a nutjob followed by a dozen other insults. And you keep asking questions with obvious answers about exhaustively documented crimes and human rights violations, some of which the Israeli government isn't even trying to hide.

Someone might get the impression you are not arguing in good faith and are trying to sow doubt and waste people's time.

I didn't even see that. Just a few clips of her rants about other things she confidently knows nothing about, like a less incoherent Jordan Peterson.

People shit in Hossenfelder much more for her non-academic takes.

It's funny how this argument puts sexism and the objectification of women, unfortunately very common and normalized types of behavior, on the same level with behavior that's psychotic and fucking lunatic.

The late 19th century?

It's the late 20th century, or the 1990s.

I'd take "late 1900s" as 1906-1910.

But now they openly agree, admit, and even brag that the cruelty was the point.

Trump's tenure really exposes how many people work in various law enforcement functions apparently just for the privilege to humiliate and hurt people.

Is there any phrase more meaningless than "pro-America"?

Yeah but I won't because I like dopamine.

With this paint job, in this environment? Maybe. Though IRL you would probably see it much clearer due to the lack of parallax effect on a 2D projection.

But if we're talking e.g. about a dark-ish barrier at knee height, your brain does a much better job to quickly recognize it as obstacle. Whereas cameras without depth perception would fail completely.

I hope that you get a new administration in a little less than 4 years.

The Republicans aren't destroying the rule of law and hand absolute power to the presidency, just to give it to the opposition on the next occasion.

You haven't seen what Teslas are in the news for lately?

It's not that crazy someone would put up a fake wall on some backroad to catch out inattentive Tesla drivers. Doesn't even need to be nearly as big and elaborate as this one. Any painted object would accomplish the same.

But the point of the video is that optical cameras are easily deceived, and Elon is lying to his customers that LiDAR is overrated and not necessary.

Let's not forget that Netanyahu's government is pro-Hamas for strategic reasons and it's worked very well for them.

DMs don't worry me that much, but botted content, upvotes and comments would kill the platform like any other.

It's not quite that ambiguous. I find that when you're willing to engage with fascist rhetoric and the underlying worldview, you can see the patterns emerge that these scholars have pointed out.

I absolutely agree that (neo)liberal western societies usually only engage with it in order to isolate differences to feel better about themselves. That was my whole point actually. If you understand it's possible that a society or movement partially but not entirely meets the criteria for fascism, that's an actual starting point for a conversation to counteract it. Rather than doing the fig leaf thing from above and say "see we're technically not fascist" as an excuse to shut down that exact conversation.
