Why does the younger generation have trouble understanding that eating out at $30/pop enough times is why you don't have $270 to fix the car?

@peterrhague @Heaney555 Do you not drive? If I thought my foot was on the brake already and the car lurched forwards, I’d probably worry my foot was on the wrong pedal and lift it instead
English
@Heaney555 If the driver had been depressing the brake fully, the car could not have moved. It would’ve fucked the car up, but it wouldn’t have zoomed off. Therefore he cannot have been pressing the brake pedal. He must’ve been pressing the accelerator
English
It doesn’t matter. Teslas, like all other road legal cars, have mechanical brakes that can overpower the engine.
Phantom acceleration IS. NOT. REAL. The person is always pressing the accelerator by mistake. Every time.

Insane Tesla story coming out of Norway today. You probably forgot about this weird Tesla crash from 2023 where a Model Y taxi had two bizarre 'sudden acceleration' crashes in just a few seconds. The driver claimed the car accelerated on its own and he was pressing the brake pedal. Tesla claimed its data shows he was pressing the accelerator. The driver was charged, but the charges were later dropped for lack of evidence, and there are indeed some serious problems with the evidence. While Tesla did share some telemetry data, the automaker claimed that the last 6 seconds were somehow missing. It turned out that someone went inside the vehicle, opened up the onboard computer, and removed the network card, which an expert believes would hold critical evidence. Everyone involved claims not to know where the card is.

@ArielRoseV @Josh95523782 @arash_tehran @eleanoir I would view having low intelligence as being undesirable
English
@upsidechazwick @Josh95523782 @arash_tehran @eleanoir People pass on inheritable traits is a factual statement.
The idea of those traits, or people, being specifically desirable or undesirable and their reproduction destroying society is eugenics and wrong.
So no, eugenics is not correct.

this movie is so fucking evil and the worst people on the planet think it's Citizen Kane

The opening of Idiocracy (2006) does all the heavy lifting up front. One sharp, deadpan montage and the premise clicks instantly. Aged beautifully.
English
@ArielRoseV @Josh95523782 @arash_tehran @eleanoir But you’ve defined eugenics as being a factual statement. It either is correct or isn’t
English
@upsidechazwick @Josh95523782 @arash_tehran @eleanoir Okay, so you're an evil person if you support eugenics.

This is more indicative that 'millionaire' no longer is a meaningful touchstone.
The word was coined by the French in 1719 at the height of the Mississippi Bubble (betting on Louisiana territory), it meant speculators who were earning "millions of livres" the French currency.

Kevin O'Leary says you can become a millionaire on $69,000 a year. “Take 20% of your salary of $69,000 and put it into the market each week and don't touch it”
English
@ArielRoseV @Josh95523782 @arash_tehran @eleanoir Okay eugenics is correct then. Intelligence and many personality traits are heritable
English
@Josh95523782 @arash_tehran @eleanoir Eugenics isn't just "a word I associate with evil"
Eugenics theory is that "undesirable" people having children is bad for society because they pass on these "undesirable" traits. And that "desirable" people having children is good.
That's also the literal premise of the movie

Of course they should. The strikezone is defined in the rulebook. And one of the great things about robot umps is if you decide that this pitch SHOULDN'T be a strike, you can change the rule and the implementation with one press release and five minutes of typing, instead of 30 years of re-training umpires.
Bad Sports Refs@BadSportsRefs
You make the call: should pitches that are 99.9%+ out of the zone like this be a strike?

People vastly underestimate how horribly a false accusation can harm a man. I honestly believe it to be comparable to rape.
One is a horrific acute trauma.
The other is a systemic dismantling of your entire life that you'll never recover from.

@Orbital_Perigee I don't see how he could be a soulless grifter given how much real hardware RL delivers. (Soulless perhaps, I've only met him twice and don't know him personally, but not a grifter). He is a canny businessman though.

There's a guy I sometimes watch on YouTube, Gary Eats who's been to Gordon Ramsay's restaurants and pointed out how poor the quality was.
The fact he's doing the same thing with these frozen meals too is shocking for a man who built a massive chunk of his career on bettering struggling restaurants
