'Politically correct' is what people used to say when they got called out for being awful human beings before 'woke' was invented.

I kind of assumed it was based on one of those 'how they photograph food' articles that pops up every so often with shaving cream instead of whip cream and motor oil instead of pancake syrup. Pretty sure I've seen one where they mix glue in the pizza cheese to make it more stringy.

There's like three hundred million Americans, and I feel like nowhere near enough of them are passionate about how higher education and unpaid athletes performing for the commercial benefit of rich people should have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

They spent nearly half a billion dollars on R&D in 2023? I could have turned off the API and the gilding system for like half that.

That was the whole fucking point of minimum wage in the first place, but somewhere between Nixon and Reagan we collectively forgot what government was for and now half of America Is like 'Spank me harder, daddy' every four years and I don't even know what's going on anymore.

When every single job in the USA is represented by a union, maybe we can finally start making real progress towards a post-scarcity world.

These statistics are presented as occurrences per 100,000 population per year. So when there are 1,000 violent crimes per 100k, you could say that your odds of being victim of a violent crime are about one in a hundred.

It's a gross simplification, of course. Theoretically all those violent crimes could befall a single very unfortunate person (except maybe the murders)

Your chances of being victim of a violent crime in Chicago in any given year are about one in a hundred, half that of St. Louis. Detroit, Baltimore, or Memphis, and almost exactly the same as Houston.

A hundred bucks they stole from nearly every man, woman, and child in the country. On top of all the normal theft that results from corporations being allowed to participate in the political process. They won't stop until they have literally everything and we're all serfs (And that moment is a lot closer than you may think)

If the driver gets lulled into a false sense of security by a convenience system like this and the automation fails, it's one thing to blame the driver, and that may or may not be fair depending on how much trust you place in the average driver's competence, but the (hypothetical) victim is still dead, and who we decide to blame won't make one iota of difference to that.

Can't imagine a scenario where you NEED a 3000 euro PC. There's nothing a 3000 euro PC can do that a 1000 euro PC can't do 90% as well.

If you twist the bottom the patterns change! It's so pretty!
