Take away “really good research skills,” and this feels pretty relatable.

Eliminating vehicle deaths by making travel impossible

And here we see decades of automobile industry propaganda in action. There is only the car, or no mobility whatsoever. You remember how everybody was just trapped inside their houses for centuries until the Ford factories started cranking out Model Ts?

Cars will never be a sustainable solution to mass transit. The immense amount of waste in materials, energy, and land use will not be offset with AVs. I don’t think AVs are a bad idea in and of themselves. But, as the article points out, they’re not going to solve any major problems.

I had never really considered how induced demand would apply to AVs…

Also, we removed all of the hardware safeties that would prevent this from happening and entrusted it all to software.

Wow. You must have very stringent software engineering practices, with multiple levels of checks and test proce—

What? No, we just had one guy write all of the system’s code. It’s probably fine, right?

I just saw the title and the image wasn’t loading. I thought this was about Power over Ethernet.

It happens to all of us, eventually.

I think that’s the joke.

I recognize these vtubers, but don’t know what is even going on in this interaction.

Du

Lol, weaponizing toxic masculinity for climate justice, are we?

Ah, my favorite piece of Bubbline art!

But did they have themselves a popsicle?

I wouldn’t say 0% chance, but I agree that it is unhealthy to jump straight to conspiratorial thinking. Especially given just how little we know at this point.

I can’t be the only one who didn’t give much weight to the “registered Republican” thing, right? I’ve considered registering as Republican just to do damage control in their primaries, and I know people who’ve done just that.

That being said, if this guy really does turn out to be a Republican I fully expect conservatives to try and gaslight everyone into thinking he was actually Antifa or something.

Isn’t this Portuguese? Doesn’t look like Spanish…

Yeah, moon dust is basically microscopic shrapnel. No one should be breathing that shit in.

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars, and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man… for precisely the same reasons.

But are you QPU-aligned? Checkmate, transmascs.

I’m honestly baffled as to why people have had any faith in Bethesda Game Studios for years. Even if you liked Fallout 3 or 4, what they did with 76 should’ve obliterated any remaining trust.

The characters are from Lycoris Recoil. It was very popular when it was airing.
