  • I told my Mexican brother and wife that I’m going to laugh so hard at them when they eventually get deported, despite both being second generation Americans.

    I love my brother but he married a racist piece of shit who is being influenced by her loud, obnoxious ass; I hope they both get what they voted for. Personally I’m not worried about myself because I’m light-skinned, have a white last name, and was raised white by my Polish dad, so I look and act white (brother and sister-in-law are very brown). Only other Mexicans can recognize my mixed race I’ve noticed.







  • Yeah but Elon Musk thinks that camera-based self driving alone is adequate. I’m not talking about Teslas anyway. Fuck Tesla and fuck Musk. The robotaxis I ride in have several radar antennas on them in addition to the cameras, and they only drive in designated areas so there’s no worry about them ever encountering unfamiliar terrain. Plus there’s a screen in the car that shows you exactly what it sees and what its next move is going to be. That feature alone gives me peace-of-mind.

    Honestly, riding in one feels so safe and predictable, that I have no qualms about reclining the seat and taking a nap. If more people tried them, maybe they’d understand what I’m getting at.

    That’s just how bad Nintendo is at porting their own games! There’s constant FPS dips, and the input lag is so bad that you can literally see the delay without needing any equipment to measure it. It’s so bad in Mario 64 that it renders the game unplayable, leaving you with two games can actually be played (but just barely so. They still have input lag, and it’s much more difficult to control the water gun in Sunshine since the Switch doesn’t have analog triggers).

    I much rather play these games in an emulator. At least they’ll run properly.

  • See this is why I prefer robotaxis. At least I know I’ll get a consistent experience every time. They all drive exactly the same way and always arrive exactly at my set pickup spot. They never cancel rides because they don’t get too lazy to find the pickup spot I set. And the best part: No tipping.

    Edit: Why the downvotes? Y’all have no idea what you’re missing out on. Radar-based self-driving cars are the future, whether you like it or not. As someone who has been on hundreds of rides, I can assure you that they’re they’re a hell of a lot better at driving THAN* (LMAO) humans. I feel much safer in a robotaxi over an unpredictable Uber/Lyft driver.
