Trump’s tenure really exposes how many people work in various law enforcement functions apparently just for the privilege to humiliate and hurt people.

Yes. Politicians and lobbyists.

And we allowed it because “who cares, they’re criminals”.

For the past 10 years would I have to disagree. US conservatives didn’t give much of a shit about what was going on in Europe, while Putin scored many wins strategically working with right-wing groups throughout Europe, culminating in Brexit, and no doubt setting the stage for the invasion of Ukraine. (Which was supposed to be over within a day by toppling the “nazi” government in Kyiv, let’s not forget.)

For the future, we’ll see. This is definitely a worrying development. It seems half of the US political establishment and about a third of the populace is determined to treat us as enemies simply because it fits their internal propaganda, no matter how much damage it does to US foreign policy. This means that bargaining is useless, and it seems at least that most European governments have internalized this, even though they may hope this state of affairs will pass.

It’s both. Dividing western societies is the declared foreign policy goal in Russia. Working with right-wing demagogues is the most effective way to achieve this. That doesn’t mean said demagogues wouldn’t be a problem otherwise, but it’s definitely being amplified.

While in reality they’re going nowhere but the hotel bar.

There was a time when it was a solid deal for white Europeans.

Yeah but I won’t because I like dopamine.

With this paint job, in this environment? Maybe. Though IRL you would probably see it much clearer due to the lack of parallax effect on a 2D projection.

But if we’re talking e.g. about a dark-ish barrier at knee height, your brain does a much better job to quickly recognize it as obstacle. Whereas cameras without depth perception would fail completely.

You haven’t seen what Teslas are in the news for lately?

It’s not that crazy someone would put up a fake wall on some backroad to catch out inattentive Tesla drivers. Doesn’t even need to be nearly as big and elaborate as this one. Any painted object would accomplish the same.

But the point of the video is that optical cameras are easily deceived, and Elon is lying to his customers that LiDAR is overrated and not necessary.

Afri Cola and Fritz Cola are two popular alternatives in Germany. I personally like Fritz Cola. Not sure if they are sold internationally.

Win+X is also great. Especially since the Start Menu doesn’t allow for quick shutdown commands since Win 8.
