Unfortunately we have seen many instances throughout history of ethno-religious supremacist ideology, specifically around abrahamic beliefs. Would removing such belief systems from society remove all hate and violence, of course not. But I’d argue that we would be in a better place as a society. Maybe if we weren’t trying to prove whose god was more right or whose belief was more righteous we could have a more just, loving, and peaceful society.

Allowed to return after Trump builds his resort and condos.

Probably yes.

I used to work for another office store that has since been absorbed into this one. There was an extreme white supremacist who ran a “church” in the area. My first manager told him we would not make his copies but he could use the self-serve machines. A few of my coworkers did not appreciate this stance and may have taunted him a bit.

A new manager came in and asked him why he was using the self-serve and invited him to use our copy services. Most of the department walked out that day.

The materials were what amounted to white supremacy lightly vailed as religion.

Sent this to my SO because she definitely relates. Funny thing is I feel the same way if I don’t know where I am, but anytime I am going somewhere new I pull up the location on satellite view and find all the parking areas.

Wish I lived somewhere with viable public transit. I hate driving.

Also ITT fuckcars is leaking

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.

I’m tired of these defective cunts saying that it is ok to treat any person like this. These are people. What if we reversed the situation, do you still think that’s necessary?

I want to make every one who defends this shit live like that for a week.

We need some sort of tax on any single location that uses above a certain threshold of electricity. I suspect that just the opposite is happening.

Too bad Washington Thinskins would be a worse name than the commanders

This is a compounded loss beyond what you described. 3 Billion spent on very localized projects. That’s likely 1 billion in wages paid to workers. That is money that would be spent on other areas of the local economies.

This is actually trickle down economics that works. Spend billions hiring tens of thousands of workers and they will boost the economy they work and live in.

from those four occasions

But what about Tiffany

Five occasions, I forgot one but to be fair, so does he.

Well played.

Game of chicken. If they don’t settle, Trump will pull out before he can be deposed. Of course there is a greater than zero chance that he is so far gone he doesn’t actually remember his little love letter.

Original Xitter post

Article referenced in the letter WRT possible cloud seeding

The law is real and stupid and not based on science. The letter is even dumber. And no, cloud seeding did not cause the floods.

I live in an area where I think the worst drivers in the US live. I absolutely hate people who honk as soon as the light turns green. You don’t know what I can see, you don’t know if it is safe to go. Because sometimes it isn’t. I’ve had to learn to still look both ways after the light turns green because almost once a week (and I only drive 2-4 days most weeks) I see someone completely blow the red going 60 in a 45.

I also blame phones for traffic, because it goes the other way too. Why did you miss that green, because 3 people in front of you were on their phones. I usually give a slow 5 count before giving a beep.

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’d have an easier time agreeing with you if any one of them had shown even a bit of spine against this fascism.

The fear is manufactured by those with power. A race war is much better for them than a class war.

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.

It irks me how much stuff we aren’t allowed to send because the manufacturer won’t allow it.

Name and shame. This is such bullshit. I’m sure it’s some to protect brand value, but IMO you earn more value through kindness and generosity.

Or maybe this op was withheld because they had already done that.
