>Hacker News has like 1% of the number of users that Reddit has, and it's already better. Exactly. I went on reddit for years until the redesign. Now I can’t stand that site. The reddit redesign is so astoundingly bad and nonfunctio

Actually, there is something wrong with that: taking your eyes off the road while driving is the very definition of a distracted driver. Death and vomit are two things that Tesla cars create. Who cares about classiness, we’re anonymous scre

I didn't write that, you're making a straw-man argument. Also, I'm not set on any particular notions. Have you ever done meth in the Bay Area and walked past tons of cops? If so, then you are educated enough to speak on the i

I didn't say they enabled me personally. I was surprised the cops didn't stop me when I posed no risk because that was not the case in other countries and cities.

I posed zero risk or impact. How is zero an overestimation?

I would agree but I’ve read so many articles on the “phenemomenon of chemsex gripping the gay community nationwide” that I believe the trend goes beyond mere extrapolation from my Bay Area experience.

I’ve been on ride-alongs. I also didn’t say cops were afraid of gay people. I said Bay Area cops are afraid of appearing homophobic.

When you’re on meth you can read minds so I’m positive I’m right in my mind reading! Lol. In all seriousness though, I’m quite sure my appearance as a homosexual protected me from police harassment. I think to them, stopping and harassing m

What’s weird about this article is that it fails to mention one of the primary USA cultural reasons — perhaps the primary reason — for the increased cultural popularity of this drug: the increased popularity of chemsex. I was a pretty low

The nuance here is that people are stimulated by different things. For example, I simply don’t find video games stimulating. I didn’t grow up with them and I never got into them. I’d sooner talk to a human being than play a video game any d

by dondawest 8y ago
IMO, the constant stream of stimulation happens one way or another. If you were born 50 years before , you could get overstimulated by TV. 50 years before that, and you could be overstimulated by books. Maybe my life would be better if I’d

It is dramatically slower than ICE cars dude. Over time ... it will still be dramatically slower. Teslas are an expensive fragile toy for rich people that can afford to stop for an hour every few hundred miles. But literally who wants t

Ironically you drew your own false conclusion about me while telling me not to draw false conclusions: I have tons of experience with the car. I put many thousands of miles on the model S I used to own. I have literally thousands of hours o

You’re being fed false information if you think that those buttons cover all the typical functions people rely on buttons to perform. The fact is that Tesla cars encourage distracted driving by forcing drivers to avert their eyes from the r

by dondawest 8y ago
It’s not a misconception. Have you seen the model 3 interior? Almost zero buttons. And model Y is gonna be built on the same frame as model 3 so we can expect more of the same dangerous idiotic design that lead Tesla to force drivers to ta

I disagree: Beheading the brain worked pretty damn well for Revolutionary France, and revolting against the brain worked damn well for Revolutionary America.

You’re adding an incredibly relevant layer of nuance. Dallio’s plan is vague so his true intentions are illegible. People ascribing positive AND negative sentiments to him need to actually understand the policy changes he’s proposing (I.e.

Exactly. The car-free plan discriminates against these people

I was being sarcastic. The other comments on here are quite illuminating, discussing how many senior citizens love walking. That’s cool. The problem with the car-free plan is that many senior citizens literally do not have the ability to w

It’s well established that Uber and lyft INCREASE the amount of cars on the road (and thus congestion) because they incentivize non-car-owners to take car trips they wouldn’t normally take. Uber and Lyft lead to a net INCREASE in cars on th

If you apply this same logic to humans, don’t you wind up with a xenophobic perspective? This seems like an alt-right manifesto but applied to animals not humans.
