pcbro141··on Tesla FSD Beta Barely Avoids Crashing into Pole
The FSD team must be pissed at Elon putting so much public pressure on them to roll out the beta more widely. They have to know releasing it widely in this state is going to be a nightmare.
pcbro141··on More Americans are considering retirement
Wow. Wagies must HATE you! Where can I click to learn your ONE WEIRD TRICK to early retirement?
pcbro141··on Apple silently fixes iOS zero-day, asks bug reporter to keep quiet
Maybe he doesn't want dissident journalists and activists to get spied on and chopped to pieces?

That sounds like a good enough reason to report these bugs for someone with morals.

pcbro141··on L.A. County sheriff’s unit accused of targeting political enemies, vocal critics
LA Sheriff's also have a gang called 'The Executioners' and several other gangs operating in the force.

Cops are held to a very low standard, especially for people who we place so much trust in. I would get fired for starting a gang at my job called 'The Executioners'.

pcbro141··on The New Population Bomb
Cost of living is not the only reason why Western people don't have a lot of kids anymore. A lot of it is a change in values, Western people just don't idealize/value having a big family anymore.
pcbro141··on Twitter enables tipping with Bitcoin, plans to let users authenticate NFTs

pcbro141··on A lot of people are getting the OnlyFans story wrong
It's natural to not want your 18 year old daughter posting butthole pics on the internet. She could very well come to regret doing that later in life.
pcbro141··on A lot of people are getting the OnlyFans story wrong
You are asking the difference if my 18 year old daughter posts pics of her butthole that will be on the internet for life, versus making videos about video games?

I think she is more likely to potentially regret the butthole pics vs the video game videos being out there on the web for life.

pcbro141··on A lot of people are getting the OnlyFans story wrong
Is it really the case that most OnlyFans girls would turn to more dangerous things like prostitution?

It kinda feels like OnlyFans has somewhat normalized/popularized young women going from Instagram 'influencer' (sometimes starting underage unfortunately, HS kids use it) to pornstar, for young women who otherwise probably wouldn't have entered the world of porn if it weren't for the fact that the hot Instagram girl -> monetize IG popularity via OnlyFans porn pipeline hasn't become so normalized.

Maybe the government's Autopilot probe will force them to change their mind on Lidar.
pcbro141··on OnlyFans to block sexually explicit videos starting in October
Society is incredibly gynocentric. Few journalists have any interest in how the dating apps exploit lonely men either (by upselling them boosts, superlikes, gold, platinum, and other memberships that the platforms know won't do much to help the average guy on there).

Male mental health is ignored a lot and it's sad.

pcbro141··on SEC charges Netflix insider trading ring
A Chicago pharmacist just got charged for selling CDC vaccination cards for $10 each for total $1250 in profit. Lost his $100k+ job and faces at least a few years in prison. Crazy what some people will risk for a little money.

pcbro141··on Afghan president flees the country as Taliban move on Kabul
How with all the advanced equipment, spy satellites, human sources and trillions of dollars is the US military and intelligence community so clueless? What a waste of money.

4 days ago, US intelligence officials revised their estimate for the fall of Kabul from 12 to 3 months.

pcbro141··on Nearly half of American workers don’t earn enough to afford a one-bedroom (cont)
Multi generational living is also great, and not mutually exclusive of having more stable long term relationships. It's fine to live at home as a couple to save money if your parents are okay with it.
pcbro141··on Nearly half of American workers don’t earn enough to afford a one-bedroom (cont)
How is that mutually exclusive of having more functional stable 2 parent homes? We can do both.

Compliments can be rare, especially for men. I still remember compliments I've gotten from strangers years ago and smile.

It sounds like a great real life training opportunity for a rescue unit, it seems like it would be hard to develop fake training exercises to simulate the challenges of a real collapse of a big building.

You can get Full Self Driving* for only $199/month now!: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/17/tesla-debuts-fsd-subscriptio...

Plus the cost of the latest FSD computer upgrade, even if Elon Musk promised your old model "has all the required hardware for Level 5 autonomy". Your fault for believing him, pay up.

* Isn't actually Full Self Driving

pcbro141··on Under the skin of OnlyFans
Not speculating, the group I'm referring to openly stated they thought it was unfair how much power women wield in the sexual marketplace and how they can be allowed to make money off their sex appeal.

I totally agree the content creators should assume the content will remain public forever and they will be doxxed at some point.

pcbro141··on Under the skin of OnlyFans
Not surprised. I would just assume eventually some sexually frustrated person would try to doxx you at some point. I think there are even organized groups dedicated to doing just that. Sexually frustrated/not getting laid + seeing women making money off their sexuality ('unfair') makes some of these people incredibly angry.
