I don’t think the show portrayed suicide as revenge. And it was not so much about hurting them as being heard. They have to listen to her and she gets to self actualise in a way she didn’t do in Life. There are no return engagement and requests as she says. She does not succeed in making them feel accountable or…

Thank you, this was absolutely my takeaway too. And as someone who has had suicidal thoughts lately this show actually helped me. No one wants to talk to you when you’re depressed/going through a rough time, so seeing the feelings I had being discussed, even just by fictional characters, helped. Also I thought the…

As someone who was immensely suicidal as a teen (engaged in self harm, plotted actual suicide), I watched the series and it brought up a lot of old feelings and I can say from my own experience that teenage me would have loved this show and found comfort in it.

I would actually argue that the show DOESN’T portray Hannah’s tapes as being an effective form of revenge. Justin, Jessica, Tyler, Courtney, Marcus, Zach, Ryan, Sherri, Bryce, and the school counselor actively deflect blame, call Hannah a liar, insult her character, or are too caught up in their own problems to give…

It may not have helped rape victims, but was it supposed too?

This is exactly what it’s like. I work with a couple of guys in their early twenties, and they just can’t believe that back in the day (ie, the 90's) you had to go buy a Penthouse or Cheri or something, along with a copy of fucking Motor Trend or Thrasher so you didn’t look like you went in there just for porn, and…

While it’s still a mystery as to why listeners chose to tune in to WFAN the day after the most devastating terrorist attack in American history

My wife and I watched Get Out in Dubai where we live, about two weeks ago. It’s a modern masterpiece in my opinion. What an enlightening and odd experience viewing the movie with hundreds of other non American expats. Peele’ s movie is so quintisentially American in its depictions of its lead characters experiences…

Gawker was 100% behind the Anne Hateaway movement. We are all complicit in this as well. At least Rich apologized for his role in tearing her down, but where is our apology?

2) There are plenty of accidents where the person not “at fault” could easily have avoided the wreck if they’d had any situational awareness.

That there are so many completely rabid autonomous vehicle fans on a car enthusiast forum confuses me.

There has to be a person in the car to take over if freaks out. Since the person wasn’t manning the controls they weren’t actually driving, therefore weren’t a driver.

Simple, a self driving car has to be able to work within the realm of events that happen on the road. Failing to yield happens, Uber’s self driving cars reportedly do it on a regular basis in fact. If the self driving car can’t react appropriately to such a simple situation, what chance does it have in a more complex…

Because the car autonomously groped up the passenger before they could exit the crash. Uber HR said to give it a break, it’s their first crash.

I drive all day in city traffic and regularly avoid accidents that would have been someone elses fault. Over many hundreds of thousands of miles, Ive gotten very good at recognizing when someone is about to do something stupid.

The self driving system responded by playing continuous machine voice loop of: “Are you blind, dipshit? Somebody flip me over, I am going to show this meatbag his own insides!” for the next hour.
