That's . . . not what cute means.

I imagine they'll have backtracked on this decision long before then.

I kind of assumed it was based on one of those 'how they photograph food' articles that pops up every so often with shaving cream instead of whip cream and motor oil instead of pancake syrup. Pretty sure I've seen one where they mix glue in the pizza cheese to make it more stringy.

According to who? Did the NTSB clear this? Are they even allowed to clear this? If this thing fucks up and kills somebody, will the judge let the driver off the hook 'cuz the manufacturer told them everything's cool?

Eminent domain the final mile and be done with it. These companies have no business holding our national infrastructure hostage.

If it weren't for the thieving class and the people who fall for their bullshit, I'm convinced we'd be having serious discussions about what it means to live in a post-scarcity society by now.

That was the whole fucking point of minimum wage in the first place, but somewhere between Nixon and Reagan we collectively forgot what government was for and now half of America Is like 'Spank me harder, daddy' every four years and I don't even know what's going on anymore.

Are you projecting ?

Yes. I'm a crime-riddled US city with an inferiority complex :P

What topic are you referring to? This is a garbage post. Setting some kind of arbitrary limit on population and then just fucking hating on Chicago is useless. What has Chicago ever done to you? How is the population of the city relevant, bearing in mind that the borders of cities and urban areas vary wildly within the US, and many urban areas consist of multiple 'cities'? How is Houston different from Chicago? Do you think you're making a point? Cuz you're not.

These statistics are presented as occurrences per 100,000 population per year. So when there are 1,000 violent crimes per 100k, you could say that your odds of being victim of a violent crime are about one in a hundred.

It's a gross simplification, of course. Theoretically all those violent crimes could befall a single very unfortunate person (except maybe the murders)

Your chances of being victim of a violent crime in Chicago in any given year are about one in a hundred, half that of St. Louis. Detroit, Baltimore, or Memphis, and almost exactly the same as Houston.

A hundred bucks they stole from nearly every man, woman, and child in the country. On top of all the normal theft that results from corporations being allowed to participate in the political process. They won't stop until they have literally everything and we're all serfs (And that moment is a lot closer than you may think)
