Yes, unfortunately.

Hear me out…

So it turns out that racially insensitive victim blaming and bootlicking is worth at least a few dozen downvotes. Congratulations?

It connected all the conspiracy weirdos too, fwiw.

What would be so bad with…

…checks notes…

…informing young people about the most horrible decisions made throughout history, why they were flawed, and how not to repeat the same mistakes today?

Hmm…

Just take a look at the world around you. That’s a fucking start…

It doesn’t. Oceangate is completely dissolved.

The co-founder of OceanGate started his own company called Blue Marble Exploration, and they are planning to start SCUBA diving in Dean’s Blue Hole.

Not the same company. No submersible involved at all.

Literally nothing newsworthy about this than the founder’s connection to OceanGate.

Every time Picard asks Data a question.

This isn’t the USA.

Texas is, believe it or not, the USA. Since 1845 even.

I know you aren’t bright enough to separate the two

Big words from a pathetic person.

it would be like saying because the far right has made inroads in French election, then all of Europe is in the toilet.

Imagine existing in 2024 and not yet noticing the global trend towards Fascism in a world with increasing economic unfairness that’s about to experience a worldwide climate disaster that will displace a billion people, handing a massive opportunity to the far right to take control.

But no, the right wing is no big deal. Just ignore what’s happening in Texas and France (and everywhere else), it’s not important.

Look, you’re the one who set the Louvre as the standard for what is or isn’t art. If you want to keep moving the goalpost, by all means, explain what you actually think makes something art.

I’d say it is a bit more complicated than that for car doors.

Car doors work fine on every car but a Tesla. They aren’t some new technology invented by Tesla where design flaws like this are understandable. Tesla just does things so badly that they invent brand new dangers that only exist with their vehicles.

You don’t want it to fail and come open

That isn’t what “fail open” means. It doesn’t mean that the moment the battery dies all the doors fly open. It means that when the battery dies the doors aren’t latched shut like a bank safe.

At a minimum, the key should offer a way to open the car from the outside when the battery is dead. It’s completely asinine to put the only emergency latch on the inside of the car where you can’t use it, especially since it is hidden so deep most people can’t find it without the manual.

What’s controversial or unpopular about what I said?

You’re giving Elon Musk’s awful cars the benefit of a doubt by pretending that this isn’t a completely reckless design flaw that should never have existed in the first place, and you are deliberately misinterpreting what “fail open” means to make it sound like a ridiculous solution instead of the industry safety best practice that it actually is.

Also, you’re complaining about downvotes, so expect even more now I guess.

If inclusion in the Louvre is an obligatory status to be considered art, then makeup is absolutely art.

I’ve edited people’s makeup and faces as part of the process of learning Photoshop, so I understand what you’re saying. There are perfectly normal applications for this.

The issue is intent. A lot of men think that women are “lying” when they wear makeup. They think that the most valuable quality a woman can have is natural beauty, and treat makeup as trickery.

There’s no shortage of men who think “You’d look better without makeup” is a compliment too.

An app like this would inevitably be used to help streamline the process of harassIng and negging women online.

There’s also the matter that women can put great time and effort into their makeup, and having someone remove their hard work from an image and throw it back at them is quite insulting. A makeup artist is still an artist and they likely don’t want their peers wielding tools designed specifically to nullify their work.

It shouldn’t be illegal or anything. No law against being an asshole. But it isn’t an app that will be used with good intent in most cases, and we should definitely pay attention because the “modify pictures of other people’s faces and bodies” use case for AI appears to have the potential to do a great deal of harm.

Funny how they argue that they are content neutral every time someone calls them out for having Nazi customers, but they are more than happy to censor for capitalists.

Coach is saying that these people actually believe that he has been “defending religion”, not that they believe that he has literal wounds all over his body from it.

You seem to be the one taking things a bit too literally.

Why the fuck is Gritty a member of Crowder’s mug club? Fucking cancelled.
