Ok well they're still amoral scumbags who will absolutely not hesitate to continue killing and immiserating others to enrich themselves so I don't really care if killing them fixes every problem in the world or not.

The sale of tiktok to Larry Ellison was a Biden era project to censor speech about Israel that got coopted by Trump because they started it in like the last few months of Biden's presidency (because Israel was making him look bad). I think all of these assholes want to control speech on the internet, for different but equally stupid and evil reasons.

It was a parking lot and I was flanked by two SUVs. I don't think the car was that old, 2018ish maybe? The angle on the camera didn't show her but when I checked my mirrors and turned around there she was. I usually do check the mirrors before turning around (which is why she didn't get run over). I just don't bother with the cameras anymore because they're superfluous and apparently unreliable.

I tried to use the reversing camera for a while until it completely missed the person walking by with their knee almost on my bumper and I nearly ran them over. Now I just look behind me.

Allowing individual states the ability to dictate laws for the entire country is even more dangerous, for the non-hypothetical reasons we are currently experiencing.

And what you're describing is exactly what happens with international websites. Its why you can go find tons of websites with open media piracy being hosted in Russia. Are parties in Russia now subject to US laws?

Why is a company or person that doesn’t exist physically in Utah at all responsible for adhering to Utah’s laws? Should be their government’s responsibility to block sites, not the site’s responsibility to block Utah.

Cars should not have screens. Maybe a tiny one in the dash for error messages, but anything bigger than a matchbox should be illegal.

Driverless cars are just full of ambiguities. Who’s liable when it kills someone; does anyone go to jail; do they have their license revoked? Do they get points on their license for all these tickets; cumulatively, or per car? If their license gets revoked (do they even have a license?) do you suspend the whole fleet, or just that “version” of the driver software?

These things do not belong on the road.

Maybe your father said that because he assumes all the workers are smooth brained lickspittles like himself. Shame he was too stupid to realize that those qualities made him perfect for management, rather than unsuited for it.

Yeah I was about to say, didn’t the US do something like this in the 70s? Turns out it was the 60s and it’s still an ongoing thing; they were deployed in the Iraq war.

If racists didn't imagine things to be upset about they wouldn't be racist.

So the secret to eternal youth is to fixate on personal responsibility in the face of systemic problems.
