  -sees traffic moving down the road with no accidents

  “Is this Mad Max?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  your “example” is a bad faith gotcha based on an insane hypothetical.

  This you?

  you somehow think that if someone is doing 90 in a 55 and hits someone actually doing 55 that it was the normal person’s fault.

  • calls random people assholes and psychopaths with little to no provocation

  • claims other people lack empathy and consideration

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re argument requires everyone on the road to be a psychopath you might want to reconsider it.

  You also haven’t been listening, perhaps you’re too busy ranting about “psychopaths” to pay attention: I’ve already said if someone is doing the speed limit and gets hit it is the fault the person speeding. However, I’d much rather not be in an accident at all than “be right” and not the person at fault.

  I’m saying nobody needs to be doing more than the speed limit.

  1. that’s not what you’ve been saying. You’ve been repeating “slower is safer” over and over and it was trivial to provide an example that made that argument absurd and untrue.

  2. that statement is making a lot of assumptions. The primary one being that the speed limit is set accurately and appropriately. Again, if some politician decided “in the name of safety” to change the speed limit on the highway to 10 would you be arguing against increasing it because “nobody needs be doing more than the speed limit”? Would the people doing 20 on the highways now be psychopaths because the sign on the side of the road changed?

  You’re in the wrong argument.

  Looks like you’re in the wrong argument. The person I was replying to has repeatedly been saying “going slower is safer” and that is what I replied to. It was trivially easily to provide an example where “going slower” is 1) absurd and 2) more dangerous.

  If that is not their argument then they need to stop repeating it as if it is and say their actual argument.

  We are looking down on the mattress and it is casting a shadow on the step below it. If we were looking up at the mattress it would be casting a shadow across the stairs in front of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, I’m sure the highway is much safer if everyone is traveling at 10. However, if I’m the only one traveling at 10 I have made the highway much more dangerous.

  I’m advocating for not being a fucking idiot and causing an accident because in theory it’s safer to travel at slower speeds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

  That’s still a distraction. Even if they don’t intend to upload the entire recording they are paying less attention to the road in order to pay attention to their “performance”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool, they are the ones that will get in trouble for the accident that I am still involved in. I’d much rather not be involved in an accident then be “right”.

  Is this about safety, or is this about blind adherence to the law?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If everyone is driving that fast and there aren’t accidents happening consistently then the posted limit does not reflect the reality of the road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you work for a company owned by a A..hole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We need to start recognizing corporate greed as a mental disorder. This is a company large enough that employees don’t interact with the owner directly, and all the profits from the company aren’t enough for the owner: they also want the pen the delivery guy gave you. It’s a sickness.

  It also had some big gameplay departures from 1 & 2. I’m not talking about being an FPS (although no longer having to worry about accuracy was pretty significant) but the fact that putting on different clothing magically made you more intelligent, and that it was a lot easier to do everything.
  In FO3 you can pick all the locks, hack all the computers, pass all the conversation checks, and take on hordes of enemies all by yourself. In FO1+2 you had to pick the couple of things you were good at and not be able to do the other things until your next run.

  why don’t they program them to look up math programs and outsource chess to other programs when they’re asked for that stuff?

  Because the AI doesn’t know what it’s being asked, it’s just a algorithm guessing what the next word in a reply is. It has no understanding of what the words mean.

  I’m reminded of an early model that was trained to find if tanks were hiding pictures of forests / jungles. Was doing great with the training data then was given new images and seemed to be guessing wildly.

  Turns out it in the training data all the pictures with tanks were taken on cloudy days.

  I had my computer plugged into a power bar and we’d turn off the power bar to turn off the computer so that we wouldn’t wear out the switch on the computer.

  People actually thought you’d have a computer long enough to wear out its power switch.

  Well, that’s certainly an… Interesting take on someone saying things should be better…
