chill— it’s an open standard that google and others can implement. everyone will have tbis eventually. the state runs the system.

lived in germany for 8 years. the living heiress to a biscuit company fortune is still a nazi sympathiser today. nobody cares about the bmw founder who is dead. every company in germany had ties to the NSDAP, let’s focus on real nazis and antisemites and racists (elon) not dead ones.

i love the look of my i4 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

proof?

i looked at tesla but decided against it after elon’s antics. bought a bmw i4 and wow it feels and drives like a premium vehicle. gets out of the way and does things well. drove my fam’s tesla model 3 (2024) and it felt super cheap and the ui and cameras were pretty bad

usually this is because leftist views are inclusionary and supporting diversity and disability, while right wing views are marginalising and hierarchical

wrong. it’s not political to disrespect someone’s identity. it’s the same as being racist. it wasn’t ok to support segregation, it’s not ok to support transphobia and banning medical care.

he also disowned his daughter and treats her terribly, and generally supports pretty evil right wing personalities like chaya raichik. lots of reasons to dislike the man.

it may be grammatically correct, but it is still exclusionary.

i don't know why people fight so hard to just simply not include others

this is also occurring in a tonne of european languages: german, french, spanish, italian, etc. it's progressives and people who care for others, not just americans.

as is well studies, we know very concretely how language and word usage influences thought (because it is thought, expressed)

FSD is terrible and shouldn’t be road legal. The FSD caused the accident regardless of how a human looking at the road would’ve performed.

it’s not 30%— in almost all cases it’s 15%. and by all means, if you think all the services and support for payments and returns and refunds and customer support are doable in 3%, you can have apple not do that too.

just because you don’t “see” retail jobs as a permanent resting place for anyone doesn’t mean that’s not what has happened and continues to happen across this country. people quite simply do not have the ability geographically, per skill level, or at a certain level of risk, to do what you propose and get a higher paying more skilled job.

EVERY job should be livable and with proper benefits like universal healthcare and paid leave. if the company cannot afford it, it should not exist. people are real, companies are not.

fwiw almost everything is political, not just things you disagree with

maybe look at it outside of the lens that you want everything to be like you, and realise there are billions of people who bring their own talent and culture to roles, most of whom are not white.

gay and black people exist, and the people they are portraying are dead. it’s called acting for that reason, the character isnt really cleopatra.

is it so insane, in a world of disparity and outsized influence of CEOs and billionaires, where people cannot afford houses? maybe the insane thing was how for hundreds of years we let the rich dictate the rules as if they knew better for having taken advantage of others.

this take is bad for one simple reason: if you stay home and trump wins, we don’t have a country or democracy anymore, and you contributed directly to the destruction of social norms and systems that ensure peace, stability, and the rule of law. you can feel smug as the republican party destroys democracy and slides into fascism, but it won’t really get you anywhere.

i’ve been seeing this comment float around today, and assuming you aren’t a russian troll or bot account, here’s why it’s flawed:

there’s no _coup_ (not coop) because primary processes are not part of the constitution. candidates can step down (as biden did for the good of the country, and LBJ had done before him). there was no real choice to not pick biden, either, as the incumbent.

the party will now have an open nomination process where delegates will pledge based on how people of their state best want, and keep in mind that most americans did not want biden OR trump, so they really are doing what is best in the interest of american democracy

compare this to the RNC and GOP which has done nothing but embrace one criminal authoritarian crook for the last decade, and you’ll see why your comment doesn’t really make sense.

if you mean languages of genociders than you’re 100% wrong and that’s disgusting. if you mean language of oppressed people who were genocided, well lots of those languages already exist in translate

so we should have kept mad hatters yeah?

do you think that national security warrants and subpoenas actually stand up to evidentiary claims? it’s not like the US actually cares and does the right thing— it’s just force hidden behind “process”

i wouldn't call it "quite disgusting" considering how there are not more transmission of illness than other nations even in the densest parts of the country. people wear masks when they are ill and restrooms in food establishments typically have soap.

air dryers like dyson in western countries are breeding grounds for germs and pathogens anyway

this entire monologue boils down to “people want cars and public transit is bad, so don’t improve it and prioritise access” which sounds a lot like you work for ford

this is just bizarre. cars are extremely expensive, polluting, dangerous and highways aren’t good for nature or human living.

nobody should live in a sprawl or rural area so far they need to commute two hours. make transit and trains fast and cheap and frequent, build opportunities in cities, and design cheap housing in desirable areas.

this is insane. i have never ever taken a taxi in tokyo. the transit system is world class, cheap, and extremely convenient.

stop spreading falsehoods

his tweet is so annoying, i think he’s past his prime

japanese ui is often more dense and information rich. there are left to right and right to left cultures. tonnes of difference between cultures and understand of the world.

red has pretty strong connotations in some east asian cultures.

just like how 13 is taboo, 4 and 7 can be taboo. these things do matter sometimes. respect matters.

it’s great that you as a person of european descent can be annoyed that people in the office have to make statements about traditional ownership of the land. You know how aboriginal australians live, and yet you think that changing attitudes towards the past—and reason why certain groups are disadvantaged—doesn’t help?

it’s not a “sin” — it was genocide over land that did not belong to the Crown. it’s a good thing that immigrants also have to acknowledge australian culture and heritage, as well.

as far as the white-looking aboriginal is concerned, we’re just not gonna open that door.
