Because they are. Gatekeeping facts and truth have been the goal of the ruling class for thousands of years.

Most of the ass-backwards mentalities that exist on both ends of the spectrum of our society can almost always be traced back to Shit Parents. 

Depends. There are TONS of 19-23 year-old rig workers here in Alberta, that all drive $60,000 - $90,000 pickup trucks. Too much money too fast, too young to be even remotely responsible with it.

AI companies really seem like they’re racing to make our collective online disinformation problem terminal.

He just defaced it? He didn’t try to set it on fire with a grenade, or blow something up, or dump alligators on it? With the alligators also on fire? Florida man, are you even trying? Florida slacker, more like.

Honestly surprised it took this long.  I’m sure Tesla and Twitter will soon follow.

This area was basically my backyard for 30 years. I was born on Travis and have lived on base, in Fairfield, in Suisun, in Vacaville, in Dixon, in Winters for a minute, and let’s not leave out Woodland and Davis. Unless they plan on spending $100 million or so on infrastructure (Hwy 113 widening and a new fucking…

I mean let’s be fair, everyone know humans would be fucking robots the moment that the idea was coined. Hell, I bet the ancient Greeks were trying to fuck automatons.

That lying whore!

To add on to what Apocalypse said, you’re also wrong.

$15k is Full Self Driving. Autopilot is standard.

Autopilot is actually great. Lane centering and speed following cruise control is all it is. I have used it thousands of miles with no serious issues, I have had it slow down when there was no need in the desert on a road with heat mirages. It’s not FSD Beta but people want to treat it that way. People expect…

How so?  You are saying Starlink is useless space trash?  

Another win for Elon.

I mean all these cars that have lane centering and adaptive to my knowledge don’t also have cameras to monitor the driver, right?  I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and it reminds me to keep my hands on the wheel (sometimes even when they’re on the wheel) but ultimately that’s it.  Not sure why it matters for Tesla when it’s…

yeah i used to commute quite a bit - i really came to hate the 6speed -the two track days a year i did were simply not worth it for the 300 other days a year stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. i moved into a luxo barge with a 10 speed auto, and i love it.

I’m not surprised. I think a lot of old Jalopnik readers don’t realize just how much the tide has turned against manual transmissions among enthusiasts. It seems like the moment someone drives a sporty car with a great automatic, they see how inferior manuals are.

Starlink has 2.2 million customers so far, 1.3 million in the U.S.  If that number goes up more, expect telecoms to get more in on that “bring all satellites down!” disinformation team.

“Deorbit” in a “controlled descent” are definitely the terms a PR team chose. The plan to send them back towards Earth & burn them in the atmosphere. That’s how space junk gets cleaned up, burning it in the atmosphere.

It’s kind of ugly, that’s why.
