People in general are savvy enough to know this. At least they used to be.

About a third of people aren’t. They’re so disengaged they don’t bother examining things enough to see through it. They just see both sides accusing each other of the same thing, so in their minds it’s awash - the issue no longer matters to them and the guilty party pays no price.

It’s a blunt instrument but it works reliably.

They’ll have it lobotomized in a few days.

Okay but have you ever tried just throwing genAI at the problem and not caring about the consequences?

She was also re-elected. Her constitutents are degenerates who love this bullshit.

That we know. That likely wasn’t the only signal chat group these idiots were using , and they probably still are.

Had to be a sick ostrich.

Trump has no idea what signal is. He basically has no real concept of what this scandal is about.

So yeah. Tariffs are bad. Let’s get rid of them entirely.

70 percent of the revenue of US dairy producers comes from government subsidies lol. As a result they overproduce at less than half the real cost, all from your tax dollars. Pretending like everyone dropping tariffs on US dairy would make dairy trade “fair” is asinine.

Maybe it’s the “pee pee tapes”. Maybe he got actual pictures from Stormy Daniels proving Trump really does have a small dick. There could be all sorts of skeletons in Trump’s closet that he doesn’t want coming out.

This will be dismissed as AI. Even if everyone knows it happened , after a day of shock the right will get their approved talking points and uncritically adopt them like always do. They’re well trained.

The angle of Trump being personally compromised made sense at some point in time but I have no idea why we still talk about it. At this point it’s nonsense. You can’t comprise someone who can do literally anything with impunity.

I got the head unit changed in my Subaru . In the Subaru, the systems that the Head Unit controls (entertainment system, backup cam, Sat NAV) are totally separate from critical systems. So everything the head unit controls can fail and the car will still work.

And you’re right, there’s an interface/translation layer . In my case the guy used an iDataLink Maestro. It seems the only thing the iDataLink company does provide interfaces that allow head units to talk to car computers, so that the Head unit manufacturers don’t have to bother.

I’m not sure such separation is common in EVs.

It took me longer than I’d like to admit to figure out that this was in fact a good thing.

You guys ever feel like everything should just be deprecated? Like fuck everything and start over?

They trust the cheques to come on time because they always have. They don’t “trust the government” in any broad sense.

An older guy said sometimes people would season and bag steaks and keep them submerged in hot tubs in the 80s.

You don’t necessarily need to implement lidar the way Waymo does it with the spinning sensor. IPad Pros have them. Could have at least put a few of these on the front without significantly affecting aesthetics.

Conflicts of interest are no longer a concept that matter. American voters don’t care.

There’s a reason real cabinet members do things the way they do - those governance structures were designed to allow them to wield executive power but maintain checks and balances - secretaries have to be senate confirmed, and there are actual ways in which they issue orders. Musk is operating outside of all of that, and wielding Trump’s personal power. Most Americans just don’t care.

I guarantee you he has signed no papers. His name won’t be in anything. In a court of law you’ll have trouble proving he actually ordered anything at all. He is welding all this power completely outside of literally any accountability and Trump , Congress, and Trump’s supporters are all fine with that.

The six billionaires who own most of the media will never allow that.

The only way this is true is if losing is more based than winning.
