No reason to bring race into it, bro.

A guy in my lab in his early 50s went over and busted his neck and is now a quadriplegic. He WAS wearing a helmet.

I’m not saying don’t, I’m saying if the universe wants you, it’ll get you.

Bro, no.

You’ve got some minimal protein, mostly carbs and fat. You’re hurting for protein the most, but fiber is way short, and carbs are way high.

If you’re a 20 something you can look amazing on a diet of vodka and cigarettes, but at 30 or so a PB sando is not gonna cut it. You’ll be needing a protein, a leafy green, and a healthy fat. The carbs will basically always take care of themselves.

It really is super good

Or a necromancer

Whatever you say Mr Dahmer joke instead of content. I see that was really all in good faith and maybe I unintentionally hurt your feelings by citing a source on base rate biases?

What data would you like me to bring for discussion since you’ve been so open thus far? Do you want me to bring some data showing that teslas spend more time not having accidents than having accidents? I’m happy to go do some homework to enrich this interaction.

It’s not as though you can just ask Tesla for every case of an FSD crash. The falsifiable claim is just me tossing a number, the point is that memorable bad press and bad stats are not the same.

Marketing besides the naming we have already established and Elon himself masturbating to it? Is there some other marketing that pushes this narrative, because I certainly have not seen it.

These are serious rate differences man.

Every driver, and even Tesla, will tell you it’s a work in progress, and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who has had an accident with it. I’d be willing to bet money that IF You find someone who has had an accident they have a driving record that’s shitty without it too.

If you want to talk stats, let’s talk stats, but “It seems like Tesla is in the news a lot for near crashes” is a pretty weak metric, even from your armchair.

Cute.

Here’s some actual information

People are terrible at probability estimation, and even with two fatal accidents a month FSD is likely still safer than most of the people on the road per million miles driven.

It IS actually true. It does goofy stuff in some situations, but on the whole is a little better than your typical relatively inexperienced driver. It gets it wrong about when to be assertive and when to wait sometimes, it thinks there’s enough space for a courteous merge but there isn’t (it does some Chicago style merges sometimes), it follows the lines on the road like they are gospel, and doesn’t always properly estimate how to come to a smooth and comfortable stop. These are annoying things, but not outrageous provided you are paying attention like you’re obliged to do.

I have it, I use it, and I make lots of reports to Tesla. It is way better than it used to be and still has plenty of room to improve, but a Tesla can’t reboot without having a disparaging article written about it.

Also fuck elon, because I don’t think it gets said enough.

And that is between Tesla and the NTSB to sort even though I agree. The car itself doesn’t mince words describing it to you, and at the time you’re driving it, the required supervision is unambiguous.

If it were called “Tesla Drive” or something else, everyone would still be here taking a shit on it nonetheless.

The naming is poor, but in no way does the car represent to you that no intervention is required. It also constantly asks you for input and even watches your eyes to make sure you pay attention.

Ever couple of months you hear about every issue like this, just like you hear about every airline malfunction. It ignores the base rate of accurate performances which is very high.

FSD is imperfect but still probably more ready for use than a substantial fraction of human drivers.

I usually order mine extra fucked tbf.

I myself was a water bro first, only recently a hydrohomie.

I don’t think it has to be lies and cheating, but there’s a pre-emptive reaction on the left of “we can’t do that, because what happens when the shoe is on the other foot?”. But then what happens? Those issues are abused anyway on the right.

IMO the first order of business ought to have been pack the courts, push the limits of gerrymandering, and anything else that guarantees easy wins until there’s a lawsuit that leads to legislation that codifies the rules for bad faith situations in law.

Basically force the grey out of grey areas and ride the easy wins. The slack in the system is the main thing that is being constantly abused. Unfortunately the electorate on our side is to interested making politicians “earn the vote” by chasing every car on the street and never catching any of them.

No, it’s like the base expects perfection at every turn and it just isn’t possible. A Republican fucks up and people rally to him, a Dem fucks up and they are expected to resign or recuse or whatever. The D always has to be the bigger person and our “big tent” is full of about 50 issues that can’t sit the hell down for two minutes to let something get done.

It’s a bunch of whiny little bitch kids that won’t punch for the throat because precedent and social issue du jour. What is really necessary is to put on some teeth kicking shoes and step up to the plate, but my other compatriot Dems just don’t allow that sort of behavior. They go low and we should start kicking… But we don’t.

It’s the style, or more specifically what it is turning into. Seems like when I got my first tastes of hip hop in the 90s it was more… musical / music forward? and now it kinda feels like just another rap flavor.

Same with greatest rapper and greatest country singer of all time: I would be inclined to steer clear since it’s just generally not my thing.

I don’t know how to help you, but I’ll tell you that I have the opposite perspective. The two artists I’d most like to avoid are the ones you mentioned, so if there was a way I could eliminate suggestions from anyone who was like “fuck yeah Kendrick and Drake” I would absolutely do that.

Taste over time is totally divergent and you’ve probably got your work cut out for you to find your exact niche :).

Yo ho, yo ho…
