This is how they claim autopilot is safer than human drivers. In reality Tesla has one of the highest fatality rates but magically all of those happen when autopilot was “off”

Ha only if. Autopilot turns off right before a crash so that Tesla can claim it was off and blame it on the driver. Look it up.

This just makes no sense. He’s not even trying to fake self defense, just “they looked Palestinian so I started shooting”. What?!

Their entire platform is blaming immigrants and trans people for everything. Deporting people is somehow going to fix everything. Good luck.

Appealing to tribalism and giving people a boogeyman to blame for all their problems is the oldest trick in the book. It’s akin to using bikini models in used car ads. If you fall for it, you’re a schmuck.

I love that he’s out there risking his life for beer

House looks super nice. How do you like it there, why did you guys make the move?

They want people to report “Ideologies”. They must realize how fascist that sounds.

Expecting fascism to solve inequality is like expecting a boulder to help you swim. I’m curious how many people actually just want society to essentially collapse because they feel left out. That’s where we’re kinda headed.

They’re all racing to build super intelligent AI. The first one to get there could essentially become God. So zelon and mark are desperately trying to buy time.

Maybe we’re strawmaning each other. I would be fine with a 1-2% tax on billionaire wealth that’s sitting as unrealized gains.

Taxing me on the value of my house is absolutely similar to taxing unrealized gains. If my house gained value that doesn’t mean my income did. There is no guarantee that I can afford it. I can’t sell my house to pay the tax. The same arguments used to defend billionaires applies to me as well, but somehow we’re supposed to feel bad for them but we’re ok with the middle class paying essentially the same thing as unrealized gains on the asset they own that’s mostly likely 99% of their net worth.

Can you tell me what is broken with expecting someone that holds $100b in unrealized gains to pay %1 tax on it

That’s all great but then why the fuck am I paying property tax on my house that is mostly unrealized gains. Before you go arguing to abolish property tax, I’m fine with it. My property tax goes to make my neighbor better, and provide services and schooling for my neighbors.

Billionaires become rich because their companies benefit from highways, regulated internet, a public educated work force, etc… so they should pay their fare share.

Taxing unrealized gains for 99% is ok, it should be the same for the 1%.

I sent a rot13 encoded message and tried to get the unfiltered model to write me back in rot13. It immediately “thought” about user trying to bypass filtering and then it refused.

I tried sending an encoded message to the unfiltered model and asked it to reply encoded as well but the man in the middle filter detected the attempt and scolded me. I didn’t get an email though.

So they need to keep the victim’s card next to one phone, and then they can use another internet connected phone elsewhere to make a purchase. Doesn’t sound that scary to me. If they already have my card then does it matter how far away they can make a purchase?

Still don’t understand how artists pulled this off back in the day. Did she pose there the whole day? Even then the sun would move.

So many details it looks like a photo.

Stop going to clubs if you don’t like them. I’m not short but I still hate their vibe.

Focus on improving yourself and learn to be happy with who you are. Don’t go to clubs.

Well the first naive argument against that would be, why would anyone work hard to become an attorney if it doesn’t pay more than anything else? Why spend years in school if it’s not going to get you ahead?

I guess in the star trek universe you do it because you like it?

I want to believe maybe that might work?

I absolutely agree with this comic, and in a lot of ways I was the kid on the left.

I struggle with the solution though. Isn’t it the purpose of all life about giving your offspring a better chance?

When we give the kid on the right more opportunity, the left side will keep increasing their investment until it’s lopsided in their favor again.

Maybe it’s not about trying to reach some theoretical absolute equity, but keeping the distribution at a healthy balance so that one side is not completely locked out of the game. That’s healthier for the whole community too since healthy competition ensures there’s progress.

Who has this many friends willing to jump into a creek fully clothed
