“Okay, we’ve had a 40 year old president now. Time to switch back to someone pushing 70.”

What’s enshittified about them? I tried an ID.4 for a few days recently and it was quite nice. I also had a ride in a Model 3 and the oversized screen hit me in the knee. Also I don’t think the VW has overhyped self driving which tries to kill you, like Tesla does. So at first glance I’m leaning towards the VW if I was to buy a car right now. What did I miss?

AFAIK there’s like one Cybertruck in all of Norway, and it got snuck in through some loophole because it doesn’t meet vehicle standards.

Model Y is selling like hot cakes, though. Most likely because they’re getting cheaper due to nobody else wanting to buy them.

I’m not particularly interested in an exercise which is completely irrelevant to real-world scenarios. In the real world your choice would look more similar to my example, so that is the more relevant hypothetical.

If you have a skill set someone is offering $500k for, someone less shitty is going to be offering at least $400k. So you’re not giving up $500k, you’re giving up $100k or 20%. I’ve taken bigger pay cuts than that in exchange for increased job satisfaction.

I’d say the only difference is that when you “have a filter” you may reword the statement before uttering it, but when you self censor you omit the statement altogether.

It certainly doesn’t need to be incriminating. A lot of discourse about self censorship discusses how young people often don’t express their opinions online, because they don’t want to get into some drawn-out discussion which ultimately results in everyone still maintaining the same opinions. It’s a waste of time and not good for your mental health. In that scenario the self-censorship is not about avoiding incriminating yourself, but about not triggering some situation you don’t want to be in.

Everyone does, often unconsciously. You know nothing good will come out of mentioning something in present company, so you don’t.

You don’t bring up politics while that weird uncle is visiting for Thanksgiving. You don’t bring up stuff you know will upset your friend. You answer “I don’t know” when a cop asks you if you know why you got pulled over. There’s endless situations where you know it’s best not to say anything, and a few where you quickly learn not to say anything next time.

Life would be very difficult and cumbersome if you didn’t self-censor to at least some extent.

Why shouldn’t it think that 0 is an even number? It’s divisible by 2.

Whereas the children are just missing their autonomy without signing it over?

He won the prize before even entering office. At the time, most Norwegians believed that Thorbjørn Jagland, head of the committee, was infatuated with Obama and his campaign and just orchestrated a win for him so they could meet. Officially he won because his campaign had been so unifying or some nonsense like that.

I’m pretty sure Obama hated it, because it put him in a very awkward spot. Both he and everyone else knew it was premature to receive it before having done anything, but it wouldn’t look good to decline it either.

You’re just saying that because you know you’re going to do it on accident anyway, and you’re trying to get ahead of it

You could also try live-booting Debian and see if it works out of the box.

Now I’m curious what that Quake 3 ad was. Just lots of gore?

But do you have the Tribal Edition?

That sounds like something an adult would say. Donald Trump is not an adult.

Ohh, that makes sense. When I read “brown bread” I think whole grain, not toast, so I didn’t make that connection.

That becomes more of a philosophical exercise: If a disaster occurs in Alaska when no one is there to experience it, is it still a disaster?

Should I feel proud or embarrassed that I have no clue what “your kids are brown bread” means?

To be fair, it is also a huge state, with a lot of surface area. So it’s not unreasonable that they catch more natural disasters than a tiny state.

What is unreasonable is that it’s handled terribly every time. You’d think all those disasters would eventually gain them some experience.

I think she may have forgotten about the felony she probably racked up by sneaking back in after being deported.
