My grandma called chocolate cream drops what they call Brazil nuts in the article. All of the family did (from Missouri). As a kid I was freaked out that anyone would name anything you ate after toes if any kind. Just gross.

But racists gotta be racist every chance they get.

I hate seeing these cars on the road as I drive to work with a normal car that does all of this stuff as a basic feature but doesn't have a cult of personality CEO promising bullshit attached to it.

A modern sedan has all of this in play. But the companies that offer these features are very careful to explain that what they offer isn't a robot that drives for you.

But magical mystery tour Mars commune snake oil diamond mine scion promises a robot car!

I just don't get it.

There are tons of cars our there that are better positioned to deliver a assisted driving experience that is better than these Teslas.

I love my Honda even though it has connectivity issues. But damn if it won't see myself in a situation where just driving my car winds up whare I smash me into a tree and burn me up.

I understand as a driver that at some point all of this bullshit won't help me.

In the end it's do you know how to drive.

But I thought Romania was the perfectly corrupt place for a genius alpha like Tate to operate his "business" without any hassel.

@YoBuckStopsHere There's nothing picayune about the deep concerns reputable journalists are voicing.

That word comes in play with regard to how so many of us have just turned our eyes away from the threat Trump and his supporters pose because we have to deal with navigating daily life being entwined with these people that in the end are our closest family and friends.

Personally, I put a lot of blame for the US sitting on the fascist precipice as it is on the for-profit media that was so enamored of his f-list celebrity status that they couldn't help themselves but divert actual political coverage in 2015 to covering this idiot.

In following the spectacle of a candidate like Trump because it gets ratings, they elevated him to legitimacy in the eyes of the public, and gave a platform to the truly evil ideas he espouses.

Sure, a lot of it is drunk Thanksgiving uncle bloviating - - but there aren't any major "news" outlets covering uncle Bill's every move and having panel discussions on what he has to say.

It's all on the media for helping create then elevate this monster, and articles like this trying to exculpate them from what they've done are at the bottom line infuriating and insulting.

The media are absolutely incapable of taking responsibility for creating this mess.

@Chainweasel Remember the January 6 rioters that got into the Senate chamber rifling through senator's desks? How when they came upon Ted Cruz's desk they started reading the speech he had left there, got all riled up about it, then one of the rioters stops them and says something to the effect of "this is Ted Cruz - it's okay. He's with us"?

@whenigrowup356 Yup. And then you have the New World animals where we use the name of the animal for both the animal and the meat, like buffalo.

I love how, in the end, Boimler did influence the future timeline, but he did it in a really wholesome way.
