For mine, it’s the radar seeing the retro-reflective stripes on utility poles being brighter than it expects.

The same is true when you put a cone in front of a human driver’s vision. I don’t understand why “haha I blocked the vision of a driver and they stopped driving” is a gotcha.

These aren’t passive victims, they are operating harmfully dangerous machines at high speeds on roads shared with the rest of us.

To put your number into perspective, if it only failed 1 time in every hundred miles, it would kill you multiple times a week with the average commute distance.

I vote for you as president of the fediverse

Can you point me to any examples of white genocide in South Africa? Surely there would be at least one news article.

That’s what makes the joke funny

Think tanks say that constantly, what are you talking about?

This is fucking rad.

You sound like someone who has lived a life of privilege and has never had all their life’s possessions stolen. Not every person is inherently good.

As a kid growing up in the 90’s you wouldn’t believe the amount of times my parents and teachers vehemently insisted to me that I MUST do dictionary lookup drills because there’s no way I would just always have access to an electronic dictionary in my pocket. I was also told that I absolutely HAD to be fast at paper-based multiplication and long division. It’s not like I would just carry a calculator around with me everywhere I go, that would be insane!

Please don’t conflate American scientists and American politicians. There is absolutely zero intersection between those two groups, and if you don’t think American scientists are on the forefront of nearly every field of research I don’t know what to tell you…

Not how drugs work

Uhh wrong thread?

That would never work because American local governments are too self-aggrandizing. It would just be filled with ads for whatever local city council member’s pet projects. We can’t even keep emergency alerts sane here. Where I live there is a Presidential alert, an Emergency alert, an Amber alert, a Silver alert, a Blue alert, and an Ebony alert. Probably more, I can’t keep track of it all.

Actually I think it would be even more stupid: it would be a robot voice reading out long links to Tweets.

I’m doing a bunch of vacationing at famous museums and it’s insane to me that after we all just learned how to survive a pandemic, I have seen exactly ZERO people who are sick and coughing up a lung in the museums are wearing a fucking mask. I hate humanity.

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to lie if the text is yellow and scrolls from the bottom of the screen in 3D.
