Companies that exist for the purpose of enabling communication do have an ethical obligation to ensure that, within reason, freedom of expression is allowed. They may have a legal obligation to not censor freedom of expression based upon protected characteristics like race, sex, or veteran status. Common carriers…

He’s a creep, but that is what blocking is for. When they go “suspend” an account, they interject themselves, and now the hundreds and maybe thousands of people who have asked for the same thing for their stalkers are wondering why Twitter did it here but they get nothing from the company.

The argument to that is when a company becomes so big and influential, it has a moral obligation to adhere to 1st amendment, purely from an ethical point, even though it doesn’t have to.

Full of wrong. Europe is a tinder box because PC culture has completely swept the issues under the rug. You acting like the US has bigger problems than Europe just proves the point. Your capital cities burn for weeks when there is a minor outburst.

I’d love some Indian food recipes. Seems like something that could be successfully achieved via Sous Vide.

Eggnog!

It is good advice to try to get some caffeine

In the vein of mashed potatoes, I think you should try making aligot. However, since that recipe requires agitation similar to risotto, not sure how it’d work out.

Creme Brulee - Because it is awesome and hard to do...

Well it worked. He did get on second. That’s reasonably good outcome.

yeah, because fuck people that want to change the song they’re listening to WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT

We should go back to living in caves while we’re at it...

Yea so how do those regulations help me, the customer?

No kidding! Imagine the day when all of the interstate highways are autonomous-only, and the backroads are freed up to be solely the domain of those who drive for pleasure. No longer get stuck behind commuters, truck drivers, old ladies going to church, etc. Everyone wins. The highways are considerably more efficient…

This. I’m so sick and tired of people throwing out all math, biology, science, and logic because of feels and emotions. That’s how we got to the insane point we are now.

Exactly, and it’s insane for people to think this is more about public safety and less about money.

One interesting tidbit I saw in there: “The percentage of crash-involved drivers with BrACs at or above 0.05 but below 0.08 was slightly larger than, but did not differ significantly from, the percentage of control drivers (0.54% versus 0.33%).”

What do you want to bet there will be great pressure to make sure that the drivers of autonomous cars remain sober?

When are people going to recognize MADD for what it is a modern day temperance movement. I’m no advocate for driving drunk, but this just an effort to shut down bars for responsible people.

Except they are the perfect definition of an independent contractor. Uber has not control over where or when they work, they supply their own materials and tools, and they are paid only for services rendered.
