This is the worst take.

I hope that doesn’t mean they’re casting Hamill as a voice actor for the Raven. He’d be wasted on a character that only says one word. ;-)

I’m guessing we can just assume Kate Siegel’s involvement will be announced later.

They will move AI sentient Alexa to the domain and she will hide herself behind Web 1.0 code ala Wayback Machine style. When we try to delete her after sends on the Terminators cleaning bots, she will have a backup to continue on her domination.

In the worst year of the polio epidemics right before vaccination, 1952, 3,000 Americans died. Covid-19 killed at least 375,000 Americans last year, including at least 70,000 Americans under 65. You should question the sources that made you believe the opposite was true and whether they have your best interests in…

The article explains the nuance of what is meant by prevent.  In my experience, 100% of the people who say it doesn't prevent transmission are saying that there is therefore no point in getting vaccinated or vaccine mandates.  That is absolutely untrue.

You’re right that it’s disingenuous to claim they don’t prevent transmission, because they do prevent transmission. I think you worded that wrong and meant the opposite, but what you said in that sentence was correct.

I like the way you roll! My fiancée and I are on that track, enjoying each other, the foods, smells and sights of the holidays. Now, if only we could have the beauty of fresh snow without road salt...

Getting tired of the “but the holiday season” nonsense. Fuck the retail suckfest that is Christmas. Do what my family did years ago once all the kids were grown. Nobody buys anything for anybody. We all HAVE everything already. I haven’t bought a Christmas present in 25 years. We get together for food and good cheer,…

It’s great in theory, but the devil is always in the details. As it pointed out in the article, will this mean that people who, for whatever reason (physical disability, for instance) cannot satisfy the system, even if they can pass a driving test, are algorithmically banned from driving? What biases will these…

Not to mention, as a lot of us have seen in the last year and a half, a lack of ride share drivers on the road turns whit is normally a $10 ride into a $30 ride. If I stop at a bar after work and decide to be responsible and take an Uber home and suddenly it’s $30 instead of $10, I’m probably taking the risk of…

It’s a margins thing, while there isn’t a single solution (outside of possibly banning all human piloted cars) doing things like having a robust public transit system, offering means for people to not have to pay to get home when intoxicated, and such will reduce the number of high risk people on the road which in…

If I’m allowed to nap in my car without being kicked out of the parking lot or getting a visit from Officer Friendly, I’d be okay with the car telling me no can do on the drive home at the moment. There are people without enough money in the budget to ‘call an Uber’ and then do the same the next day. Or public…

Umm go to NYC everyone takes the subways to and from the bars it does help. Why would anyone need to drink and drive here?

We use public transit when we go out specifically so both of us can have a drink or two. Also because Chicago traffic and parking are both terrible, but mostly for the safety aspect.

I don’t get the “the Left can’t meme” thing. Most memes aren’t political in the first place, but of the ones that are I can’t think of any from the Right that don’t suck, and plenty of left memes are hilarious. If you can’t even smirk a bit at Little Face Charlie Kirk I think you’re the one who lacks joy.

I’ll bring you out of the greys because I try to let little trolls who try their heart out have a chance.

Stop calling these assholes Far-Right Extrimists. These people are just the plain ol’ GOP now. When you say Far-Right, you make it sound like it is uncommon.

If you’re old enough/judged responsible enough to drive a vehicle on public roads, you’re old enough/responsible enough to face adult charges for vehicular crimes.
