The fuel tank seats are genuimely the most relaxing.

I meant that it should be possible to appreciate harmlessly stupid or silly/vapid humour without it degrading your ability to also reason critically about serious stuff.

Idk man. I don't use TikTok and probably never will, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to be able to segregate their entertainment from their intellect.

Sympathize with their plight if you find doing so worthwhile, but also recognize their response isn't helping.

Maybe they're just a fan of death?

…Or maybe they mean threatening death itself— As in, like "Stop killing my friends, Death, that's really not cool, and I'm going to start stealing your Death-beers from your Death-fridge if you don't stop".

…There's probably an ecological definition for "community" that you could try to transfer over… I think in cases where a large group of individuals don't actually interact with all of each other either directly or indirectly, but are nonetheless relevant as a grouping because they share a particularly contextually prominent set of traits (E.G. "Plays Video Games"), then "population" might be a more appropriate term (if a bit sterile).

Aligning power over systems with stackholders impacted by those systems is usually good for avoiding hostile incentives which result in hurting people, yes. Plus to some it might axiomatically be morally good.

That just redirects to thread 16j21jg. They're generating opaque unique IDs so they can track permalinks now?

Nissan also said it collected information on “sexual activity.” It didn’t explain how.

Nissan doesn’t provide a detailed explanation of how the data is collected, but they say that the source they collect the data is "Direct contact with users and Nissan employees," Whatever that means.

Based on this information, I can only infer that the Nissan sales handbook has a section on using seduction for particularly difficult and/or hot potential customers.

…I used to work at a pizza shop. Oh, so that's why we got so many orders from the local Nissan dealership!

It's for their upcoming line of Combine harvesters.

TAPR or CERN OHL, probably— Kit cars do already exist, though are apparently aimed at hobbyists, and usually just partial cosmetic customizations. "Metal box on wheels with motor" ain't exactly rocket science, although quality could be challenging and that's especially important when it comes to safety.

That said, surely the production costs of modern vehicles needed to do their basic job— Efficient-ish and safe-ish transportation from point A to point B­— Can't possibly be worth their increasingly inflated costs? There's probably something to be said about the marketability of a sub-$10,000 basic OHL car that you can choose to scratch build or kit-build or buy fully built.
