You know what I think is the worst about the Tesla autopilot idiocy? Many of the newer Teslas have updated hardware… with built in radar… that they just don’t use. At all.

I’d love it if he developed a conscience. He has so many braindead drones that he could really affect some change.

Like a 950 caliber bullet. Depending on the work, a company like that is going to be just as effective as making someone go splat.

Because it has already been done? Heyo!

Based on vibes alone, I’d vote for any combination of them for president and VP.

They’re controlled opposition, at least at the national level. They’re the carrot to the stick, but both are being wielded by the same people.

Can confirm. I was given it to help with a medication known for spiking anxiety during the initial doses. Not only did my anxiety not increase, I was better able to do things I was usually reluctant to do because of stress or anxiety. It’s like I just didn’t care as much.

The major downside for me was lower blood pressure than normal, so I got dizzy easily if I stood up too fast.

Same. I’ve used tens of thousands of pipette tips. I can’t imagine what my lifetime plastic consumption is like compared to your average person. I’m guessing I’m like a small neighborhood.

100% agree, that’s my (not so) secret political fantasy - everyone working together to better their lives and those of others. Instead, we got whatever 2026 is turning into.

I don’t know what your issues today or in general are, but don’t take them out on me. That you had to make so many assumptions about me to air your many assumptive grievances should be your hint that I’m not your problem.

I have a 401k and I say fuck it: general strike these assholes. The innumerable gains we’d see by wresting back control of the country would make decimating it worth it, plus I’m likely to die in the Climate Wars™ before retirement age anyhow.

I could actively make things worse for a fraction of the price!

I got a laugh out of that “baby thought” jab. I’ve lived where it wasn’t safe to walk by the roads during winter, much less cycle there. With no bike lane or even a road shoulder to speak of and a foot or more of snow, you end up with two choices: cycle in a snow bank or hope traffic isn’t coming when you end up horizontal in the road.

Hey neighbor!! I’m stocking up on Tim Horton’s gift cards in preparation.

I can’t understand why people don’t see this. Democrats in the minority sure are fighters, but oh darn, they just don’t have the numbers, so vote harder next time! Democrats in the majority suddenly have to be super diplomatic, lest they ruffle feathers across the aisle and lose cooperation with the political party that rarely cooperates. Keep voting hard and they’ll get there, eventually!

You seem to have an issue with linear time. Your edit explaining your stance came a few minutes after my comment pointing out the suspicious lack of details. I’d love an explanation about how I was supposed to know your future edit was coming.

The trick is to keep your comments vague enough that you can respond to any criticism with “that’s not what I’m saying, learn to read”. Notice that at no point do they explain what they actually mean, though. Only that all criticism of their point, whatever that might be, is wrong.

The imagery there was just beautiful, a perfect 5/7.

Whaaaa?! I’ve always found Danish pastries to be much less sweet than American, though the American take is cloyingly sweet. Almond flavor totally tracks, though. Many I’ve seen are almond flavored or at least include almonds.

So now I have to wonder: what is he doing this to hide now?

Edit: also, can the aliens please take over now? At least just the US? I think us humans have shown we can’t handle this on our own.
