It sounds like you don’t have to make ANY choices which must be pretty nice: it certainly makes it easy for you to judge other people!

I will absolutely take the easy road on getting non-food items we need twice a month to spend time with my kids and my wife. I would rather amazon than Alibaba, and I would rather do either than give up an hour of my time to shop something dumb like super glue with two kids under four.

I am also doing the best I can, and I’m sure you mean well, but you sure sound like an officious dickbag.

It’s not fun and it’s not surprising. Billionaires are generally cancerous and they own a lot of shit. If you can avoid them all, more power to you. I guess it’ll be my fault if trump gets elected.

I’m not flexing. It’s a fact. Everybody makes choices and I am making mine. Do you own a car? And if you do, do you put gas in it, earth-raping heathen? Do you water your lawn? Have a gas lawnmower? How about solar panels? You ever take a bath instead of a gallon shower? Buy electronics sourced from countries with weak labor laws? How about sleeping with a fan on at night or participate in wish recycling without consulting your local center?

I’m sure if we dig enough you’re shitty in some way too, yo. Maybe don’t be a supercilious dirt hat.

Counter argument: no.

For sure Amazon is predatory. For sure the services are overpriced. For sure they are killing Mom and Pop stores.

But you know what? I shop there for the same reason I shop at a Meijer or a Target or a Payless. Everything I want, one place, unified customer service, and it just shows up at my door. Probably 80% of my purchases are grocery delivery from Meijer and Amazon for basically everything else. Returns are no questions asked, service is fast, and selection is great, I just try not to buy amazon basics if I can help it.

Shipt, Uber whatever, GrubHub, etc etc delivery services that are supposed to solve the same problem are all fucking garbage. For sure I’m a corporate sellout, but I have a shitload of time to spend with my kids and my wife instead of fucking around with other services or driving around town and I’m not sorry about it 🤷

Edit: and with prime I got ad free movies, in home delivery, faster shipping, audible, and who knows what else besides. I won’t shop at Walmart so I’m probably a hypocrite, but I’m a hypocrite who is happy with the service for the money.

My kobo Libra 2 is way, way, WAY better than any of the Kindles or nooks I’ve owned. So good.

Edit: idk who Amy is but she doesn’t belong here.

Now now.

You can’t believe anything else he says either.

I quit in 2003. Everything you posted is incomprehensibly OP.

Bro I can’t finish getting myself into it

You might not want whatever answer you get.

At that price point and size you are getting a junk TV. Probably of the “buy again in 2 to 4 years” kind of variety. You’re going to have to pick price, size, or quality, and I hope you’re aware you’ve kinda eliminated quality from the start. If you already know that, kick butt go do your thing. If you’re trying to get a good TV at 70 inches for less than $1000, you’re on a fools errand.

I preferred to do Windows as a VM personally. Dual boot cost me a year before my Linux switch BC it was easier to boot Windows when I needed it. With VM I could do mostly Linux with maybe just vm to open a word doc if I needed it.

W7 was fine. I cut the cord and went Linux before W10. It sucked for a year, and now I look at the trash they sell and everyone pays actual money for… And I laugh XD.

Idk about that level of escalation being necessary, maybe just repeat offenses. Where I went to college it’s got to be super serious for police to come into a bar.

Repeat fights, or pukes on the floor, or belligerence to staff are all things I would think would be decent grounds to be turned away by ID. I mean, that happens now at gas stations and restaurants with security cam photos saying “don’t serve this person” posted at the register except it’s more public.

I suppose it depends what data is recorded though, they don’t need your home address.

Dude don’t be alarmist.

It will be months until it turns into that. Maybe even a year or two.

Definitely seems like she’s for some conspiracy stuff going on in addition to just having some stuff going on.

It really is super good

Whatever you say Mr Dahmer joke instead of content. I see that was really all in good faith and maybe I unintentionally hurt your feelings by citing a source on base rate biases?

What data would you like me to bring for discussion since you’ve been so open thus far? Do you want me to bring some data showing that teslas spend more time not having accidents than having accidents? I’m happy to go do some homework to enrich this interaction.

It’s not as though you can just ask Tesla for every case of an FSD crash. The falsifiable claim is just me tossing a number, the point is that memorable bad press and bad stats are not the same.

Marketing besides the naming we have already established and Elon himself masturbating to it? Is there some other marketing that pushes this narrative, because I certainly have not seen it.

These are serious rate differences man.

Every driver, and even Tesla, will tell you it’s a work in progress, and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who has had an accident with it. I’d be willing to bet money that IF You find someone who has had an accident they have a driving record that’s shitty without it too.

If you want to talk stats, let’s talk stats, but “It seems like Tesla is in the news a lot for near crashes” is a pretty weak metric, even from your armchair.

Cute.

Here’s some actual information

People are terrible at probability estimation, and even with two fatal accidents a month FSD is likely still safer than most of the people on the road per million miles driven.
