Pretty weak 10. Pick one or two and make a compelling article, I’m already trying to quit. We don’t have to make up stuff like “JFC nuclear power!?”

First sentence of each paragraph: correct.
Basically all the rest is bunk besides the fact that you can’t count on always getting reliable information. Right answers (especially for something that is technical but non-verifiable), wrong reasons.
There are “stochastic language models” I suppose (e.g., click the middle suggestion from your phone after typing the first word to create a message), but something like chatgpt or perplexity or deepseek are not that, beyond using tokenization / word2vect-like setups to make human readable text. These are a lot more like “don’t trust everything you read on Wikipedia” than a randomized acid drop response.

This is me too. I have two of them bought and paid for and people just don’t get it: I went all in on this and you can just sell for 15% of purchase price, I still have mobility needs. More to the point my swasticar still has access to the best charging network on the market and even if I COULD just sell, it’s not cut and dry. It’s easy to shit on Tesla, but it’s still the best offering in the EV market. And even if it was not, like fuck me I can’t time travel. Most people who flame have no idea what the actual hell they are talking about.

I played FF7 only and loved it. I did not care for the first remake game, and have not finished it. Hanging at like 70% complete.

As many as I have now? They aren’t coming out and I don’t plan to off myself because of that.
- Comment on people who drink, how long do your hangovers last? 1 month ago:
Depends how you drank.
In college when a heavy night could have meant sharing a 5th with one other person then switching to beer? A whole day or maybe 2. As an almost 40 something who had the third one and my lips tingled once? Gone by 9 am usually, unless I woke up to pee and drink 12 to 15 swallows of water then I wake up fine.
That puke and rally 21 to 28 was a glorious time, but you will never get it back lol.

- Comment on what are “female jocks” called? 1 month ago:
IMO no equivalent. The closest word people might use is really derogatory, and has a connotation of being overly masculine for a woman.
In the spirit of describing women who are extremely proficient at a sport but not being indirectly called masculine… the word is probably just “athletic”.

- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 4 months ago:
How many Teslas have been purchased and how many Teslas ended up in this situation? While it’s a sucky design decision, it’s sucky in an extreme edge case. S/Could it be fixed? Sure why not. Has something equally as ridiculous killed people in Ford f150s, Honda odessys, or Toyota Camrys like stupid gas tank configuration or glass that doesn’t break or seatbelts you can’t cut? I would put money on it. But nobody reports on that because the cool thing to do is smugly say Tesla sucks.
And they do! I have two and they are shitty made cars, but they have an enviable charging network and are constantly improving software and features. Mostly they are making Ford/Chevy/Honda get off their asses and do something and that’s ok with me.
4 people. FOUR? 2 maybe 3 cars out of a fucking GAZILLION? Sorry for those people and their families but that’s not a percentage where I complain or make an effort to change anything as a consumer.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 4 months ago:
Dude shut up lol. Everybody is jerking off on Tesla for an admittedly gnarly problem that will affect practically no one. Yes it’s stupid, but so is your furious masturbation to Tesla issues at the expense of actually reading the comments.
And yes, expected values against risk are literally all that matter. If that was not the case, no car would ever move from the assembly line for fear of rolling over a toddler or crashing into a cyclist. Pucker up your flapping butthole you’re talking out of and collect yourself. People will still stroke your weiner for saying “Tesla bad” even if you resort to reading and discussion; it will be ok.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 4 months ago:
Didn’t say I wouldn’t go back to manual latches, just not going back to ICE (or selling my almost paid cars) because elon is a twit or they are unreasonably dangerous in the event of a freak accident.
This is a stupid problem to have, but expected value says most people will never have it.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 4 months ago:
Huh. TIL.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 4 months ago:
Anyone who has ever been in a Tesla knows they’re a software company, not a car company. The cars are made like crap.
I still wouldn’t go back to ICE though.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 4 months ago:
Tesla rear doors don’t open on button press from the inside with no power, but I bet they do from the outside. Just like the child locks. I’ve never tried it unpowered to confirm though.
