You are five times more likely to survive being hit by a driver doing 20mph vs a driver doing 30mph. Great to see Enfield rolling out new life saving 20mph zones. Slow down. Slower speeds save lives. #VisionZeroLDN. 👏👏@EnfieldCouncil @JourneysPlaces

@MissJilianne @JCChristopher I think he is saying that it shows that the car was still being accelerated, by the driver, after FSD disengaged, else it would have slowed significantly due to the steepness of the hill

70 and 80 year old people are generally unemployable due to physical and mental decline but for some reason we allow them to run the entire fucking country.

@NickGibbsIAG @Gfilche Does FSD perform everywhere as well as it does for you? Do you not mind getting speeding tickets? Do you like driving through pot holes?

I genuinely love @Gfilche but it doesn’t mean I won’t be honest. This makes you selfish not a Luddite. Either you think you’re better than FSD .. which you aren’t or you don’t care about other ppls safety as much as you care about yourself. And don’t give me this BS “I like to drive”. Most of your driving is not “fun driving”. I genuinely look at ppl who don’t use FSD as low IQ ppl these days. I can understand ppl who don’t know about it or haven’t used it or can’t afford a Tesla. Everyone else… you’re showing your intelligence level.

I know this makes me a Luddite in the @tesla community but I think it’s crazy an AI is 59% of my driving. Literally living in the future ⚡️

You have a weak and tendentious grasp of history. We were never a few months away from ‘being a German colony’ after the Battle of Britain (which did not involve America). Churchill made clear his endgame from the start: Total Victory. Germany declared War in USA. That’s what brought USA into the European theatre of war. FDR agreed with Churchill’s endgame.
M🌪@22blanco22

People harping on end game make me boil. You guys were few months away from all being a German colony if not for the American. And they’ve kept the peace through the NATO alliance an even having boots on ground in almost every country. Churchill and penning weren’t talking about endgame when they were begging FDR for help and if not for the japanese actions at pearl harbour, Americans won’t be joining the war.

@afneil The USA developed and supplied the high-octane fuel that gave the Spitfire and Hurricane a winning edge in the Battle of Britain.

@Reasonmaxxing @designmom You should focus less on what "men want from women" and more on "how can I be a better person", cuz right now you're a sociopathic pathetic cringey unlikeable piece of shit and nobody wants to date or befriend you. So. You might want to start there first.

I was surprised by this tweet because in my experience, heterosexual men really like to see naked ladies. Any naked ladies. All the naked ladies.

For Juliet Turner, the moment was supposed to feel triumphant. Years of research, sleepless nights, endless drafts, and the intense pressure of defending her work in Oxford’s famously demanding viva voce had finally paid off. When the examiners finished questioning her and confirmed she had passed, she had crossed one of academia’s hardest finish lines. Like many scholars do, she shared the news online with a simple, proud sentence: “You can call me Doctor.” It was not arrogance. It was relief. It was the quiet satisfaction of someone who had endured the long, grinding path of earning a doctorate. But the internet has a strange way of turning celebration into spectacle. Within hours, a well-known life coach reposted her photo with a sneering caption implying that a doctorate might impress professors, but it would never impress men. What should have remained a proud announcement became a magnet for strangers eager to weigh in on what a woman’s achievements are supposedly worth. The comments followed a depressingly familiar script. Some insisted that no degree mattered as much as motherhood, as if intellectual accomplishment and family life were mutually exclusive. Others mocked the value of academic research altogether, suggesting her years of work were pointless compared to more “traditional” paths. A few reduced the entire moment to a tired stereotype: the idea that a woman pursuing knowledge must somehow be sacrificing her femininity, her desirability, or her “real purpose.” What struck many observers was how quickly the conversation stopped being about scholarship and turned into a referendum on a woman’s life choices. A doctorate is one of the most demanding achievements in education. It requires original research, intellectual endurance, and years of disciplined work. Yet the backlash revealed something deeper than simple online cruelty. It exposed an old cultural reflex: when women reach a visible milestone, some people feel compelled to remind them that their success is still up for judgment. Turner’s announcement had been a straightforward statement of fact. She had earned the title. She had passed the examination. She had completed the work. And in the middle of the noise, that reality remained unchanged. She was, quite simply, Dr. Juliet Turner. #drthehistories

@NicoNIMH @rushicrypto What is imaginary? As far as I can tell the world and everything in it is completely real. As well are the experiences I’ve had. Have you read the Bible?

People are losing it after watching the dinosaur documentary on Netflix because of the amount of time ago that the dinosaurs were here. Modern humans are about 300,000 years old. I will die on this hill when I tell you that the vast majority of people don’t understand the concept of the longevity of the earth at this point.

@KettlebellDan Because I don't need any advice, so offering it to me implies you think I am wrong, which I am not. You, on the other hand, are obviously wrong and it is my duty as a clever person to put you on the right path

@GoodLawProject That article misrepresented what Karp said, which is that AI in general will impact the Left's voter base more than the Right's. Not specifically his AI. It was a warning to all, not a threat to the Left.

Technology is politics. You can't embed Palantir into the army, the police and the health service without embedding its poisonous politics. So there's no place for Palantir in our NHS. newrepublic.com/post/207693/pa…

1. True 2. He didn't found Tesla but yes without him it wouldn't be the juggernaut it is today 3. True 4. He/his biographer later admitted the Hyperloop was always a sham and was proposed purely to disrupt HSR development in the US so that he could sell more cars 5. He tells everyone how bad the world is every day on this platform, usually with exaggerations if not outright lies Then there was the whole nazi salute thing. Then he called ISS astronauts retards. I wonder why the left doesn't view him the same as a few years ago.

@Alonso_GD If a household wishes to manage its ever increasing debt, whilst still looking after the members of that household, then payments to charities should be the first to be stopped. Otherwise it will only get worse. Simple economics.
