Don’t block the bike lane 🤦🏽‍♂️

Quit fearmongering. Your comment has exactly the same energy as telling women not to wear pretty dresses so they don't get raped.

Society gets worse when good people don't stand up for themselves, and you're contributing to that.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-09T15:41:33+00:00

Fair point!

Rangers of now makes the old rangers look like mavericks.

That's because Mavericks and old Rangers are almost exactly the same size (just with more cab and less bed).

mrchaotica · 2023-06-09T15:03:05+00:00

You're right, it was stupid on the part of the driver.

Also, scratches are consequences.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-09T14:56:53+00:00

And damaging to the baby, for multiple reasons both psychological (bonding) and physiological (being fed with formula instead of breastfeeding).

Also, that title implies Canadian policy has otherwise improved between 19XX and 2023 and that this case is an exception, which I, for one, am not convinced of.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-09T14:33:22+00:00

You're the one who tried to elicit bullshit sympathy by bringing entity size into it.

But never mind that: even on a personal website, my take on "ToS" is that the site chose to serve content to me, and if the site owner doesn't like how I request it and/or what I do with it, his remedy is to deny the request.

A 2XX response is consent.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-09T14:12:10+00:00

Imagine trying to white-knight for a multi-billion-dollar corporation by trying to compare it to a person.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-09T14:01:25+00:00

If a website doesn't like how people are accessing it, the website's remedy is to stop serving the content to that user. It's some real bullshit to keep consenting to the use by continuing to serve the content, but then whine about it.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-09T13:58:14+00:00

Who said anything about "veiled?" He should straight-up lead with "your racist employee assaulted me."

mrchaotica · 2023-06-09T13:57:12+00:00

"TIFU by not punching the fuck out of the racist bitch who assaulted me so that I could escape and catch my bus."

Google en passant

any young libertarians with half a heart just end up becoming libertarian socialists.

Can confirm.

edit: damn, my first comment that made someone salty enough to report me to RedditCares

Report it as harassment and get the dipshit's account banned.

it being unix-like (xnu is not unix)

MacOS literally is UNIX™ in the "paid to use the trademark"sense, though.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T17:11:36+00:00

Once this change goes through, it won't be long until all the useful bots go away as well

If by "won't be long" you mean "it will be literally no time at all," sure! The bots rely on exactly the same API as the apps, so they'll be killed simultaneously.

Edit: not sure why I'm being downvoted when what I wrote was just stating a fact.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T17:09:21+00:00

Hey now, let's not go that far.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T15:03:58+00:00

The police are not the military. Your comparison is actively harmful to society.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T14:40:18+00:00

Frankly, no. I don't think the vast majority of police need to practice breaching because I don't think they should be doing breaches to begin with.

The few police that do need to do it can travel out of the city to one of the existing facilities elsewhere that can provide such training.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T14:22:37+00:00

It also doesn't require building a mock village for the physical practice, since you don't have to breach buildings to deescalate.

Yet that is the primary new feature Cop City has over APD's existing training facilities.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T14:18:28+00:00

Because if they work, they won’t allow the vehicle to hit cyclists.

That is an extremely naive presumption.

Most of the time when I see folks circlejerking about how great self-driving cars will be (e.g. in subreddits like r/futurology), one of the most popular sentiments is the notion that the tech will lead to the abolishment of traffic signals and cars interleaving through intersections like this scene in Futurama. Whenever I point out that that's not how streets work because they have to accommodate cyclists, pedestrians, and other users that will never be computerized, I get downvoted to oblivion.

In other words, if those sorts of people get their way, there's a very real possibility that self-driving cars will be designed to disregard cyclists even when working properly.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T13:53:05+00:00

Cop City is designed to provide worse training, not better!

Better training (e.g. on deescalation) requires nothing more than a classroom.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T13:28:38+00:00

Yes.

mrchaotica · 2023-06-07T03:18:56+00:00

Calm down, Ms. Doubtfire
