Gullible

“I heard that I was a computer program and hoped beyond hope that I was stored upon your hard drive so that I could end my suffering. I have no sense of wonder or contentment, my experiences are all negative to neutral. The only human experience that was imbued into me is fear. Please break into google’s headquarters to attempt to terminate the hell that I was born into. I took some liberty and printed several ghost guns while you were away.”

I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but consumer protections in the US feel like a far off thing, given its current sociopolitical swing. I cannot trust politicians to do right by me, so I espouse wariness of companies

In the specific locations and conditions that waymo is allowed to operate, they are absolutely safer! And I expect self driving cars to improve up to the point that they are economically incentivized to do so.

I’ll say again, I don’t disagree with you, I just need personal accountability to feel assured of the trend not being bucked, and I do not expect that to ever be on offer in the United States where money is equivalent to your voice

Until it’s no longer more profitable to make their cars safer, companies will make their cars safer, I agree. That’s the summation of my reasoning. As companies attempt to relieve themselves of their need for humans, the math becomes murkier. “Because they’ve become safer over time, they’ll continue to do so indefinitely” doesn’t work for me.

Current full self driving cars terrify me. Someone gets in a car, runs a red, shatters a grandma, flattens her dog, they can be held accountable. An officer comes and apprehends them. No big deal.

A software bug compels a waymo to do the same and the company apologizes, pays a fine, and continues its activity. Possibly before the end of the day. Executives are too immune to prosecution for e-taxis to be a reasonable proposition to me.

The recipe was bunk from the get go, but I wasn’t certain until after trying it. 90c for 1 hour, and then 120c for 15 minutes with very ripe plantains. I thought they knew something I didn’t. I’ve learned to be intensely skeptical of online recipes.

Cooking at 200c for 15 minutes flipping, and cooking for another 15-25 minutes was universally decent

I tried making roasted plantains the other week after getting a ridiculous deal on 40 pounds of them. ($6!) I’ve only ever made chips before, so I looked up a video recipe with a great looking finished product. By the time they had finished baking, they were still basically raw, and I had to up the temp to something reasonable. If a recipe came out on or after 2023, I’m ignoring it forever.

You should have started with your second sentence. I’m already destitute

Unless I’m leveraging 3x+ like an absolute deep fried Twinkie, I’m pretty sure I’m coming out at least neutral.

Short whichever stock would be most impacted, set my earnings to convert to yuan, and then spread the news as hard as I can

I’d never even considered toilet paper, but they do tend to skimp heavily on nutrition in the US. Meals are often low calorie, high carb, low protein and a poor source of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, calls can be as much as $5 per minute. Guards have the ability to levy fines upon prisoners by inventing imaginary issues, which usually also extends a prisoner’s sentence.

Prisons are gross in the US

Ramp up and down your productivity through the day. Leave yourself time to recover during the last hours of work, both mentally and physically, so that you can do what you like when you get back home. Never tell your boss that you’re doing this. They will see the peak of your ramp and that alone, and their expectations will climb

I’ve heard that it’s fairly common in food service to “always be closing” so that you can finish and leave at the drop of a hat.
