  1. I don't know what's worse. The celeb couple cameos, the endless Gen-X movie references, the parasitic delivery apps telling us to shop local so they can get a 40% cut of every sale, Springsteen telling us to buy a Jeep to do Centrism, or Tom Brady winning another one of these fucking things.
  2. Jason Alexander hoodie commercial with "Believe it or not" for the music was perfection. Only good commercial so far. Aside from oat milk.
  3. Also, Awkwafina asks to carpool with Will Ferrell and he says no. Can't boost carpooling, reducing traffic, and public transit if you're a car company.
  4. I'm sorry all that's happened. It's been a hell of a year for a lot of people for a load of reasons. May this pass quickly, smoothly, and with as little stress as possible.
  5. Musk's efforts to get attention for his hyperloop nonsense or his Tesla tunnels are actually siphoning public money to these projects and AWAY from actual transit projects that will A) do more for more people and B) work. Musk is just not a thinker worthy of the attention paid to him. His ideas distract from feasible projects or plans. Tunnels, automated electric vehicles, and whatever "AI" is at this point are not solutions to any problem he's identified.
  6. I don't need to experience taking my attention off the road and not controlling a vehicle because that in itself is dangerous. Computers and sensors aren't bulletproof. The point I'm trying to make isn't that it existing is bad. It's that Musk and his legion of cultists have marketed the self driving aspects as some panacea to all safety and traffic issues. It just isn't. Self driving capabilities should be seen as, marketed as, and designed for being safety assistance. It should never be the intention that the car is solely under its own control.
  7. Because it isn't self driving. There are lots of gaps in capability the self driving systems have that make people not take the act of driving as seriously as it should be for how dangerous it is.
  8. The best thing Elon does is hire execs well. That's why SpaceX is so successful. He's an "ideas man" first and foremost. And most of his ideas actually truly suck. Reusable rocket stages is Buck Rogers shit that I will never not love and one of the best space flight advancements since the Space Shuttle. Everything else Musk has done has been done by someone else (electric car battery layouts), could be done by others (charging standardization and proliferation), or isn't done by anyone else because the idea is dumb as fuck and either doesn't work at all, or makes things worse (self driving AI, hyperloop, the fucking flamethrower, his kid with the dumb name, neuralink, Mars colony, labor exploitation, starlink, the Thai cave rescue, the dumb Harambe rap).
  9. That's some good art. I need more art that's good. I have a few rando posters and then some band posters I like but that's about it.
