That too. I went from a 1998 sedan to a 2010 hatchback, and the latter feels like it has good visibility because of the tall window, but the A-pillar will block pedestrians in the crosswalk, and even mask whole cars. I have to bob my head around from side to side to be confident I’m not about to hit something while turning.


My understanding is that it has to do with updated rollover safety requirements that came in in the mid-late 2000s. They have to be able to support something like 2.5 times their weight on the roof, making all of the pillars thicker. Combined with additional overall weight from other crash regulations, this means that A-pillars are yet bigger. Cars have become much safer for occupants at the expense of safety for pedestrians, who are not part of the equation as pedestrians are subhuman.


Oh yes he did. The President of the United States is also the President of America’s vassals.


We should be building the Gordie Howe underground ballistic missile complex instead


An automated factory employing machine learning algorithms is very different from an LLM chatbot. They both get lumped together as “AI” (which doesn’t exist), but machine learning is actually useful
e: to get more specific, machine learning “AI” does things like predict how molecules will bind to proteins, for purposes of creating novel pharmaceuticals or whatever. a far cry from “@grok is this real”


GPScels cope and seethe, unguided projectile and mapchads stay winning


No, they get driven. The important people are driven around and everyone else can eat shit


Yes, we should have followed Trump’s lead and imposed high tariffs on China. Trade wars are good and easy to win 🙄


You don’t have to worry about that too much, the mighty chinese industrial economy will steamroll the american scam economy before they’re able to implement their plans worldwide. Now, we in western countries might end up trapped in a prison society where all information is controlled by LLM chatbots, but it won’t be the fate of the whole world.


1989 was a dogshit year, I say rolling it back to the mid-70s or so. Then you’re also undoing Chernobyl.


YOU WILL LIVE TO SEE MANMADE HORRORS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.
Ultimately I think things’ll work out ok, though.


the occluded lavigne…


Thank God for imbuing you with skepticism


democracy for the slave owners?


Comparing the Holocaust to something that isn’t a genocide, in seriousness and not in jest.


A famine caused by mismanagement is a damn sight different from the deliberate and industrialized mass-extermination of entire ethnic groups.
Ridiculous idea. Instead, we should build our mighty datacentres in the chilly ocean of the ice moon Europa, which contains twice as much water as all the world’s oceans combined. By the time the waste heat turns the ice-moon into a water moon, then a steam-moon, we’ll have built up enough compute to compute new ice-moons into existence from scratch
