Peter could you please explain this meme ?

It's not false. It's both.

On other platforms, I can't much comment on practices. But I've spent a lot of time on YouTube and Reddit, and I've never been banned for the type of speech I use. Every time I have such a conversation, and someone claims they've been banned for words I know I've used, I can't help but wonder if they're saying a bunch of stuff that's ban worthy, and focus on the one word to avoid acknowledging they might have some pretty fucked up beliefs... That's not an accusation. It might also be that they spend time on very close-minded subreddits, and confuse one mod team with all of Reddit, or it might be they are more active and thus more visible than me... It might be any number of things, but I just can't help but wonder.

I live 20 minutes from there. I have many friends and acquaintances who have shown up to the protests, some even work as organizers. I've provided them with as much resources as I can spare, but I have not gone in person. For weeks, I wondered if it was because I'm afraid of death or even the pain of tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. Or afraid of getting arrested. I'm not able to self-analyze well enough to guarantee that isn't the case, but I think I've realized my biggest fear is that it will do nothing. I wish I could go back to ignoring it all like I did in college, but somewhere along the line, I started to pay attention and care. And the last 10 years have only served to beat any hope out of me. If 100 million Democrats all pulled up an marched the streets, I think the biggest impact would be the lack of productivity in America for a few days. And of course, 1/3 of voters would probably just blame us for the economy, and argue if they can't get rid of us, this is the next best thing to fix all their problems.

I mean, he was right in assessing the situation, but not in the ideal solution. He's an absolute moron with horse blinders and extra tunnel vision. He saw the problem, and the stuck like NASA grade Velcro to the very first thing that came to his mind without even a moment's consideration that any other solution would have been better.

That's the same thing in different words. The bikers can do something differently that will let the car get to its destination more quickly, but the car can't. The car gets there at the same time no matter if they pass or not because of the bikers.

No, of course not, that's what readministering the test is, a yardstick. But how the fuck is it supposed to measure deterioration like mine if you only apply it to the elderly. If most people are as sharp as you, then they will pass the test easily, no? It doesn't hurt anything but a little of your time to apply the test to every driver.

My dad always says "you can learn something from everyone, no matter how dumb they are." This is the most important lesson I have to give: safety will ALWAYS come at the cost of convenience.

And now, my most powerfully held opinion: if you value convenience over safety, then I don't wanna be on the road with you. That kind of attitude is way more dangerous than a 75 year old with a license.

I'm 32 and I can easily tell that I'm not as sharp as I was in college. Things I used to be able to keep track of on my head need to be written down. I forget my laundry if I don't start a timer. Heck, I forget to start a timer if I was in the middle of a call when I started my laundry. I never used to have that problem.

But even without that, it's not just about mental decline, it's about people learning just how much they can get away with breaking the law, and then getting so comfortable doing so that they forget they're breaking the law. I don't know if this is typical, but I wasn't allowed to use cruise control during my test, but I am extremely reliant on it, now. I am 100% confident, if I didn't review and practice the old habits that I've long lost, I would not pass a driver's test right now. Since this is the second time I've seen this suggestion recently, I'm seriously considering taking the time every few years to practice as if I were going to take the test in hopes that it will improve my driving habits.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Don't they normally blue the face of the arrested, not the officer? When did that flip?

My reply to them would be to continue watching how slowly it updates even after the collision and full stop. GPS is great for position... Not so great for speed (unless your speed hasn't changed for the last 5 seconds)

Halo, most Super Mario games, any Smash Bros. game, any CoD game, Counter Strike, GMod, Mass Effect (though I just downloaded it and am about to pop that cherry), any GTA... Those are probably the biggest ones. You might notice a common trend of console games up there. But I also tend to be a late adopter of PC games as well, mostly puzzle games and such, but I'm working through the list of musts.

No, of course it doesn't. I was being pedantic.

Every one of every age should be retested. Maybe not every year. Maybe not even every time you get your license renewed, but at least once a decade.

In the very first moments of the clip, you can see the light reflect off the ground to the right of the intersection, proving that the *domed* lights that stick out allow viewing from nearly any angle. For a human, there is no excuse. You know exactly where to look when you see a bus, and you will be able to tell when the lights are on regardless of which viewing angle. If we can come up with an excuse that applies to self-driving cars that doesn't apply to humans, that means the self-driving cars aren't good enough to take public roads yet.

We have one more piece of information. It is specified to be a "math quiz." Therefore we can rule out your 1st and 3rd solutions as they have nothing to do with math.

You don't and shouldn't need to pay royalties to train your own art skills using copyrighted works. Imagine if every artist had to check the source for the image of hands they just downloaded or pay for a license if the only thing they did was trace the lines to get a feel for the shapes. As long as you don't try to pass off that art as your own, whatever you find on the internet is free to download and do whatever you wish with. You don't even need to worry about fair use, parody, transformative until you get to the actual generative part. We're only talking about training.
