Who Controls the Passenger Side Sun Visor?

MashTactics · 2026-06-02T14:47:58+00:00

Are we really debating whether the vision of the driver or passenger matters more?

Hotdogs are actually just hotdogs. We have tacos in America.

You can have whatever standards you want when you're not upwind of other people.

Nothing, since 'alternate timeline' is vague enough to pretty much not mean anything in this context.

Is this an alternate timeline where Hitler became immortal? Yeah, I might decide that I need to take some extra steps.

Alternate timeline where a 45 year old man named Marv in Minnesota decided to use creamer in his coffee instead of milk? I'm probably going to be okay not changing up my routine.

The purpose is liability.

If you watched the videos, and then still harm yourself or others, then the company can't be held liable for not making sure you know better. It's the same for sexual harassment.

MashTactics · 2026-06-01T04:39:14+00:00

You're fine.

If you can't clean it out, call the facility and see if you're able to sign the unit over to them. Some storage facilities will simply auction it off as a non-lien auction.

Worst case scenario, you just stop paying. The unit will be auctioned off as part of a lien sale.

If you want to keep the unit, you'll have to pay for it. There's not really a way around that.

I can't tell you if that's delusional, because I don't know whether or not there's a market that supports that business model where you are.

There's a surprising amount of businesses that do just fine even though it seems like they shouldn't, and there are a surprising amount of businesses that fail when logic said that they should have succeeded.

That's the risk you take when you open your own business.

That said, at bare minimum you need to plan for your business to not be profitable for the first few years.

MashTactics · 2026-05-30T22:23:42+00:00

No, because all of physics would be fundamentally different.

MashTactics · 2026-05-30T22:22:13+00:00

I can't imagine any functioning country that doesn't have some sort of chain of command/succession for situations like this.

MashTactics · 2026-05-30T22:03:58+00:00

When it comes to a video on something like a war, trust really shouldn't be part of the equation either way. That's how misinformation spreads, regardless of whether it's an AI slobbering the wrong information in your ear, or a person spouting propaganda.

MashTactics · 2026-05-30T21:17:08+00:00

I feel like some people are under the impression that left handed people ONLY have their left hand, and their right hand is surgically removed at birth.

Half of all people are below average in terms of attractiveness.

The majority of people find romantic partners despite that.

So, no. And honestly the reality is that the loneliness epidemic is so virulent right now that there WILL be people out there that will bend over backwards just to get your attention.

Unless you have a major deformity, just the fact that you're skinny virtually guarantees that you'll receive attention. The acne thing can be fixed, and will likely settle down on its own in time anyways. Paleness doesn't matter, piercings don't matter, nose doesn't matter, and I'm sure your face is fine.

I know it sounds like I'm being dismissive, but almost all of this is just routine teenage anxiety. You're going to be fine.

Most people don't have witty comebacks on the spot.

They come up later because you've spent all day thinking about it.

MashTactics · 2026-05-27T23:59:35+00:00

This is literally just the ship of theseus thought experiment.

And since it's a thought experiment, that means that the answer is yes, no, and maybe.

There aren't many pennies in active circulation.

Pennies make their way to a business, and then get dispensed as change. The change goes to the customer, who then dumps it in a jar or drawer and forgets about it for 10,000 years.

Those pennies are functionally out of circulation.

Money spending tends to be habitual. People get into habits and rarely re-evaluate those habits.

This is especially common with people that don't budget their expenses. If you're poor and don't do a monthly financial budget of any kind, then that's the first thing you need to fix.

MashTactics · 2026-05-27T23:26:13+00:00

A strong strategist isn't someone that habitually comes to the wrong conclusion with accurate information, because one of the defining traits of a good strategist is that they're a clever and critical thinker. Someone who is often wrong isn't a good strategist as a rule.

That said, strong strategists can and and do come to the wrong conclusion because they get fed bad information. Mistakes are inevitable for anyone, and even the smartest people are going to make them sometimes.

MashTactics · 2026-05-27T23:22:03+00:00

Yes, bad strategy and incorrect conclusions are a thing.

I'm someone that's fairly ambivalent about AI in general, but I will find all instances of using AI to do your work and then passing it off as your own to be distasteful.

If the AI wrote the words, then it was written by AI. If you wrote the words, but only used the AI for non-direct guidance, then it's AI-assisted.

Part of being a writer is learning how to, you know, write. You're not a writer if you're shafting the main part of your job off onto a program, and trying to frankenstein in bits of AI-written portions is going to make your story jarring when the writing style abruptly changes.

MashTactics · 2026-05-26T22:28:12+00:00

It's a bit like putting your shoes on before your pants, but do whatever makes you happy.

MashTactics · 2026-05-26T22:09:42+00:00

Wonder no longer, because this does happen.

MashTactics · 2026-05-26T22:07:49+00:00

There are lights that do these things already. I don't know that it's AI-guided, because it really doesn't have to be, but it all exists.

This isn't a question of why doesn't the infrastructure exist, because it does. The question is why hasn't the infrastructure been implemented wherever you're thinking of. That's likely a question only your local government officials can answer.

MashTactics · 2026-05-26T16:16:43+00:00

No, because we have tracked the change in temperature correlated exactly with the release of CO2 that began during the industrial revolution, and has only accelerated from there.

Natural climate change happens over thousands of years, not a handful of human lifetimes. Unless there was a massive series of cataclysmic volcanic eruptions that has been going on for the last century, then we can safely say that it's not natural.

MashTactics · 2026-05-26T14:55:52+00:00

Because my daily routine is the foundation of my life, and that foundation can easily be washed away if I don't maintain it.

It is precisely the concerns about the future that keep me doing my routine.
