I sincerely hope this galvanizes public pressure to make vaccines mandatory unless you have an actual medial condition that precludes you from taking them. There is zero excuse for this bullshit, and it is going to harm us as a society far more if we allow it to continue.

I always get the feeling that Jalopnik’s Eric's enjoy these stories . Sick .

Also, I’m not even sure if I blame Musk these days, because, after years of deadly Tesla crashes tied to Autopilot, if you believe his tech is safe and keep using (or misusing) it, at some point that is on you.

I know Jalopnik has a hard-on for shitting on Tesla but I don’t understand what Autopilot is being called out here. I pulled a map of the city and the only place where you find cul-de-sac there are in subdivisions where you have no business driving at speeds that would cause you car to be obliterated on impact.

Jalopnik is the people’s site

Gas taxes should be higher. Like, much higher.

Ah, yes, the idiocracy argument which somehow hasn't come to pass.

Back when I used to teach, I was really surprised by this. Every student in my school was required to have a iPad, but most of them were less-advanced users than my nearly seventy year old parents. And they’re iPads, so it’s not like it was complex troubleshooting, editing config.sys files or anything like that. “Your…

I am so conflicted on this. I dedicated my life to supporting people with disabilities. So to hear about people wanting to have an abortion due to a Down syndrome diagnosis is painful.

Something like VW’s monster mats. That’s literally something that if it’s not part of the package, I’ll buy on the way out the door. I got my GTI from the used division of the local dealership network, drove across town to their VW dealership when I picked up the car and grabbed the GTI monster mats. Carpet mats might…

This is fascinating - your household regularly takes two simultaneous and independent road trips of more than 250 miles a day??

I think mostly what this suggests is that Hideaki Anno doesn’t really care about the difference between a robot or a cyborg or an artificially-grown humanoid fighting machine cloned from your dead mother’s DNA. To him, the phrase “robot anime” encompasses a larger genre of “big machine, boy pilot” stories, and in that…

Was... not great? It was essentially Lifetime Original plot movie elevated by Ellen Page’s performance.

I’m beating a dead horse here but this whole screenshot-comment slideshow-for-clicks format is pathetic.

If you watched both versions of the film, Whedon cut out entire Cyborg plot (he is LITERALLY the heart of the Snyder cut), he cut out his parents, Iris West & Ryan Choi - ALL CHARACTERS OF COLOR.

It still just feels to me like giving people (without any training) an 830 horsepower vehicle with bad visibility that weighs as much as a Class 3 truck and can hit 60 mph in a little over 3 seconds is a recipe for disaster. I give it like two weeks before somebody ‘Watts for Freedoms’ over a family in a crosswalk.

You go to any swimming pool in the country and you’ll see women in bikinis. Children will be there and will be able to see women in bikinis. This is simply what the swimming pool is. Same with hot tubs, there just aren’t as many hot tubs as there are swimming pools.

I don’t necessarily disagree that capative is not all that great (though they’re hardly the only car to use them), but Torch did essentially zero research here, which is my point.
