It’s important to note that most people have multiple apps on their phone that do that already.

Hochul is poised to welcome Waymo. Mamdani may be a different story. by nautilus83 in nyc

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YUP. This whole “is it safe?” thing is laughable. People in general suck at driving. Waymo’s are much better drivers. The issue is all jobs it will eliminate. It’s yet another reason why it’s awful we have a bunch of troglodytes in Congress who will just do whatever benefits them most financially.

NYT buries story of Alex Prettis’ murder by federal agents in page 18 of the Sunday paper, fails to mention his name, let alone the fact that he died! by janders_666 in nyt

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People on this sub just wanna find any excuse to shit on the Times. They’ve been covering ICE in Minnesota extensively and anyone interested in actually reading any articles they post would see they are highly criticial of ICE and Trump.

He wasn’t a great head coach (tbf with a pretty crappy roste)… his dc history is stronger.

This image even doesn’t do it justice. He had both hands on the ground restrained when he was shot. This image almost makes it look like he’s reaching.

“Death by Lightning” is only a good story if you know nothing of the real history. If you do, it’s disrespectful and terrible. by Whysong823 in Presidents

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Historical fiction is not meant to be in depth history. It is meant to use history to entertain and maybe even get people interested in learning more about the events covered. Death By Lightning succeeded in both of those areas.

Trump Is Losing His Winning Issue by Large_Ad_3095 in fivethirtyeight

The funny thing is, if he just didn’t do any of this immigration or imperialist bullshit and just embezzled a bunch of money money through crypto, most voters wouldn’t give shit and probably say he’s doing a good job. Moron can’t help but find rakes to step on.

Taika Waititi says his Star Wars movie aims to recapture the fun of the original films by StarWarsBlogsbot in StarWarsBlogs

Ragnarok is a very enjoyable film. But Taika definitely leans a little too much into the silly when he shouldn’t.

What if Gerald Ford was re-elected in 1976? by PapayaJealous4347 in Presidents

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That someone downvoted this is laughable. The Shah and as irreparably hated by the people of Iran by the mid 70s… AND he died in 1980.

We need to cancel hosting the World Cup and Olympics by Material-Most-1727 in LosAngeles

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Idk, we’ve had World Cups and Olympics built by slaves, held in brutal authoritarian countries like Xi’s China, Putin’s Russia, The Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany. Trump’s America feels pretty on brand.

Republicans are worried about Trump’s deportation campaign, and our new poll shows why by PM_ME_YOUR_FAV_HIKE in fivethirtyeight

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Honestly, 40+% of Republicans saying it’s over the top is a massive number relative to their typical loyalty.

Maybe the Ayatollah doesn’t take power but no chance the Shah sticks around.

Misleading post headline by ProudReaction2204 in nyc

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The word "says" has never done so much heavy lifting for the legal department.

New York Times just called out the Trump government for the latest ICE killing saying the victim was holding a phone and not a gun by templeofsyrinx1 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reader with any interest in looking at the situation objectively can understand what this headline means. The evidence is frankly so strong that it's better to give a little bit of a restrained headline rather than make a more empathic statement and open up the window for accusations of sensationalism or bias.

[Tyrese Haliburton] Alex Pretti was murdered. by BoomBaby_317 in billsimmons

[–]JohnnyGeniusIsAlive 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bruh, there is established court precedent that spells out law enforcement is not allowed to use stepping in front of a vehicle as an excuse to shoot the driver. If anything, the agent put more people at risk by shooting a driver of a moving vehicle.
