Yeah, what I really want is a little electric late 80’s/early 90’s sports car. With modern safety features. I don’t care if it doesn’t have insane range, I drive less than 5000 km a year. I miss the look of that era of sports cars. It doesn’t -need- to have pop-up headlights, but think of how much more responsive and useful they could be now.
My current car is a mark 3 supra, even if I could convert it to electric, the safety features are also pretty outdated.
Yeah, even “powerless” narcissists need someone to feed their ego, and will eventually turn on that person and need a new one.
It’s just worse when the narcissist has power.
Yeah, that is actually one of the other points people sometimes use to refute the atom bombs being a war crime. That they didn’t kill as many civilians as firebombs or carpet bombing… I know you aren’t, just brought it to mind. But yeah, that only makes those other types of bombs also war crimes. Hehe.
Does he not know that using the atom bombs to kill civilians was kind of considered a bit of a no-no?
The justification that “it ended the war early, actually ‘saving’ lives” is moot, killing civilians to save soldiers, is pretty much strongly considered the opposite of the point. It is a war crime.
Not having been charged with it, isn’t something you want to go poking at. Everyone has kind of loosely agreed to leave it in the past. But that doesn’t have to stay the case if you make people upset enough like that.
I guess we better get ready for some SLAMing.
“It’s all computer”
I would say, instead of trying to 100% switch over, instead dip a toe in. Dual boot, or run a seperate system as linux first. Slowly grow into it, and then if in a few years, it feels feasible, put it on as your main and have your windows system as the back up. Then maybe eventually you won’t need/want a back up at some point.
It is likely akin to sunk-cost. They have already spent so much of their life having a thing to point at, that they don’t want it to have been wrong the whole time. Even though it was known to be wrong pretty much right away, that was already too late for some.
Some mindsets require assigning blame to an external locus in order to move on. There has to be no chance it was “their fault” even though it’s hard to really describe genetics as such…
There hasn’t really been anything else to suggest a fixed external potential source. So if this one is proven wrong, they are out of options. Ignoring, of course, that it has already been proven wrong. But, that is the reason why they feel it hasn’t. Because it’s so very important to them that it is right.
And of course barring all that, even the most profoundly affected individuals with Autism rarely blame their condition for the lowered quality of life, if any, they blame their surroundings or surrounders incapability of adjusting to their needs. With proper surroundings and surrounders, even at it’s worst, the downsides are manageable and the upsides can be really nice/useful.
I don’t know, the stream where his entire goal was to prove how good starlink was for gaming where he immediately blamed all his deaths on poor connection quality, sort of implies he has trouble putting his products before his ego.
And while he is an expert at deluding himself, I think we have already passed the point where even he could be convinced his rockets were safe.
Obvious plant does park posters as well.
New 3DS was actually a pretty huge upgrade over the original. Despite the name, it was effectively the next generation of the console. Or at the very least a half-generation.
The logo and style are so similar to an obvious plant poster. But I can’t find if this is an old logo of theirs or just a new person doing the same thing.
Map data obtained and converted from other formats often ends up accidentally condensing labeling categories. One result is train tracks being categorized as generic roads instead of retaining their specific sub-heading. Another, unrelated to this, but common for people that play geo games is when forests and water areas end up being tagged as the wrong specific types.
That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it’s 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.
But, what I’m curious about… how is this a “shoes on” occasion?
There is a reason they chose that as their screen name. I don’t know if they built that account as a troll, or if they got told their opinions are wrong so often in life that having “opinions” became their whole identity. Anytime I see someone with the most “swimming against the current” ideas, I look up, and there is that name again. At this point, I’m very much rooting for troll, as their life would suck even more if it’s all genuine. As much as the life of a troll would suck already.
Hehe yeah, it’s basically an advanced form of the game where you type one word and then keep hitting whatever autocomplete suggests in the top spot for the next word. It’s pretty good at that, but it is just that, taken to an extreme degree, and effectively trained on everyone’s habits instead of just one person.
The main difference there is that they can be unfamiliar with that country and believe what they are told about it.
Hard to be unfamiliar with the country you grew up in, and only 30% of the population is willing to believe what they are being told about it now despite their life experiences not showing that to be the case. I mean since when have those types of people been “scared” of Californians?
Yeah, I use Virtual Desktop, there are other options, but from my experience, there really isn’t… hehe.
That’s more late 90’s sports car. But it is at least closer, hehe.
