This issue has been explored previously, and with a better example of the trolley problem that centers the ethical dilemma entirely on the autopilot.

I do agree that in most situations, the driver retains full control over the vehicle, and therefore remains fully responsible, even if there's a case to be made that the autopilot neglected the safety of others outside the car.

However, I'd also argue that this example leaves a possibility where fault cannot be assigned to them: If the driver became aware of the hazards at a reasonable time (i.e. spotting the pedestrians just around a sharp bend, rather than 200m down a straightaway), and made every reasonable effort to stop within that time but could not. There are limits to the driver's responsibility, but the most interesting cases are crashes that the autopilot is capable of preventing (even if the driver reasonably cannot), but fails to do so.

Fuck Shoppers. High dispensing fees mean literally anybody else can do it better. Switch to your local pharmacy.

You could always don a stage persona like Marshmello or Daft Punk. Then nobody cares what you look like under the mask.

I've only bought two Nintendo games twice.

First was Super Smash Bros. Brawl because my first game disc got scratched by accident and became unreadable by the Wii console.

The second was Mario Kart 8 because of the Booster Course Pass even though I bought this game a decade ago on the Wii U with its DLC.

The BCP makes this game feel new again, like a Mario Kart 8.5.

Disappointing to hear of this. He had a sharp tongue and I liked some of his critiques when he was still writing occasional columns for the Globe and Mail, but I didn't realize he already lost his journalistic integrity...

Consider a sleep study. I found out I have sleep apnea this way, and did a follow up study with a CPAP machine where I just felt 100x better rested than usual. Ask your doctor for a referral.

It's so bloody stupid that a Loblaws owned grocery store gets to keep the name of Independent. Why do we tolerate this dystopian double-speak?

Anyways boycotting isn't viable for me so "shrinkage" will have to do.

This is disingenuous. Scammers have gotten smarter over the years and not everybody is technologically savvy. All it takes is a perfect storm of factors for even the most experienced people to fall prey to scams.

Stop victim blaming and focus on education. It's the only way this gets better.

You can minimize this by having a higher invincibility stat (another hidden stat that influences how many I-frames you get after spinning out).

If only climate change could be cancelled.
