Why would you have failed? You are supposed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign.

It’s hilarious to me that Musk claims to work 100 hours a week but he’s the CEO of five companies. Even if the claim were true (and of course it isn’t) it means being the CEO of one of his companies is a 20-hour-a-week job at best.

I know many people who believe that “right on red” means they have the right of way to make the turn and don’t have to stop first or yield to traffic.

Japanese cars are superior to American cars
I had a high school friend who went on to become an engineer at General Motors. One of his first projects for them was tearing down an Infiniti and a Lexus when those cars first came on the market. He said that at the time, GM cars typically had between 300 and 400 production defects of varying severity. When they took apart the Infiniti, they found 2 production defects; when they took apart the Lexus, they found 0.

you will be limited by the gasses in the atmosphere
Lol if you’re going to abandon the round earth theory, you might as well dump the concept of an atmosphere, too.
- Comment on Need clean laundry in the apocalypse 1 week ago:
I take care of my elderly parents and they would not last very long without me. I have fears of what could happen to me but they’re greatly compounded by having people dependent on me. I’m so glad I don’t have any children, at least.

All my life Spring has always been a happy time for me. This one has just sucked, though, even though the weather has been near-perfect.
- Comment on That's a good question 2 weeks ago:
I bicycle past a catholic church that has a banner that says “JESUS WELCOMES YOU WITH OPEN ARMS” and a drawing of Jesus nailed on the cross. I’m like … wait a minute, is that actually a joke? Jesus’ arms are open because they’re nailed to a piece of wood?

And yet having sacrificed himself, he’s now back hanging out with his Dad in heaven and having a great time. That’s not a “sacrifice”, it’s more like a bad time at summer camp.
- Comment on That's a good question 2 weeks ago:
Sam Kinison had a routine where he was pretending to be Jesus explaining why he hadn’t returned yet: “yeah, I’ll be back as soon as I can PLAY THE PIANO AGAIN! OH OHHHHHHHH!”

You must be fun at parties
This meme is even more annoying than SpaceX employees being ordered to cheer.
- Comment on AI boomer trait 2 weeks ago:
Even if they hear and enter the order correctly, the probably of exactly that ending up in the bag is still pretty low. At least the food service robots might get that part right.

My cursive writing is … cursive writing. I went to elementary school in the '70s when that was still being taught and I could not do it now with a gun to my head. All those capital letters like I and S and G that all look the fucking same.
- Comment on AI boomer trait 2 weeks ago:
This is why I always liked the “Butlerian Jihad” in Dune where people entirely banned “thinking machines”. Because there’s no fucking way humans would still be around in 10,000 years without something like that having happened.

anthropogenic climate disintegration
I like this better than the milquetoasty “global warming” or the even weaker “climate change”, but I prefer “Anthropogenic Runaway Global Heating” because of the handy acronym.

Or they can’t fucking write. I’m a programmer and many of my colleagues over the years have been entirely unable to form a coherent idea into a sentence or paragraph. For a lot of them, that’s why they became programmers in the first place.

“This meeting could have been an email. That I accidentally deleted.”
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 2 weeks ago:
Not to mention that Musk himself contributed nothing to SpaceX’s technical achievements. All he did was insist that the audio of their launches and recoveries include employees cheering maniacally - easily the most annoying aspect of SpaceX.

I want to put my thumb into your eye socket
This is unfair. You should want to put both thumbs into both eye sockets.
- Comment on Most American headline 2 weeks ago:
And for good measure, the vast majority of homeless people were children who aged out of the foster care system. Foster care is a gift that keeps on giving.

how often do you really get mad enough at someone that you hang up on them?
“I love you.”

I was less impressed when I learned that all the actors in that scene were on bicycle seats. But then I was more impressed when I learned they only had one ladder to let them down to take a pee.
Another fun Life of Brian fact: the production re-used the Tunisian sets built for Zeffirelli’s Jesus of Nazareth television series. Zeffirelli was furious that the Tunisian authorities allowed this; he apparently did not know how money works.

The whole “high school is the best years of your life” thing was always total bullshit. The drugs are much better in college.

Yeah, M Roadster != M3 lol. The cheapest M Roadster I can find on Autotrader is $16K. Looks really nice, too. God damn it.
