No Stupid Questions•Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?
16·3 天前Imagine the giant trucks road raging because you’re in the left lane and only going +20 the speed limit. Or the old creeps hitting on teenagers.
What if we instead imagine the truck drivers politely asking you to move over? What if the ability to communicate freely with other drivers made the experience closer to walking in a crowd. I’m imagining something that allows all vehicles within a certain radius to hear one another so you can communicate with courtesy. I think a lot of road rage stems from our frustrations with our inability to communicate (and be held accountable) by the people around us.

20·8 天前I would threaten to not buy any more Halo games but I haven’t bought one in like a decade so I recognize there’s not much bite there.

politics •Republicans grapple with voter frustration over rising health care premiums
53·8 天前I’d say apathy should be interpreted as a vote for the status quo (incumbent) but it’s flatly wrong to call it a vote at all.

Space@mander.xyz•Jeff Bezos Says He Doesn't Understand Why Anybody Alive Now Would Be 'Discouraged'—Because Soon, 'Millions Of People Will Be Living In Space'

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Tell me there are no women in your life without saying there are no women in your life.English
12·10 天前It seems the only data provided about the demographics and political leanings of the fandom are anecdotal accounts from social media. Do you think it ever occurred to the author that they might just have an algorithm that recognizes their preference for shitty content?

news@lemmings.world•Elon Musk Wants $1 Trillion to Build a “Robot Army” at TeslaEnglish
2·10 天前“My fundamental concern … is if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted (as CEO) at some point in the future?” Musk said. “I don’t feel comfortable wielding that robot army if I don’t have at least a strong influence,” he added.
It’s great how in either scenario he maintains control of the robot army, but in one he’s menacingly uncomfortable.

The War Room@quokk.au•Some U.S. Military Personnel, Including Generals, Begin Using Generative Chatbots for Decision-Making
10·11 天前I can’t help but notice that the provider of the AI is omitted from this article. Seems like maybe the most important detail.

thegr8goldfish@startrek.websitetoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Senate Democrats reject GOP-led funding stopgap for 11th time
21·15 天前Realistically any deal should at a minimum require the president actually follow the law. If that is too high a bar for the conservatives to clear then what is the point of working with them?

Progressive Politics•Maybe liberals just care more about their community?
140·15 天前Conservatives think destroying the community is a flex.
Holy Shit. Thank you for this!

19·15 天前How do they justify a second jet? Is that specifically to rub our faces in it or do they at least go through the motions of coming up with a bullshit excuse?

politics •Marjorie Taylor Greene Rages Against GOP Leadership Ahead of Looming Health Insurance Hikes: ‘Absolutely Disgusted’
9·28 天前Also, I think health insurance and all insurance is a scam, just be clear!
What even is her position here? She is against single payer and against insurance companies. Does she want us paying for everything out of pocket?









I recently encountered this song for the first time at the end of an episode of Creature Commandos. It was written near the end of the last Bush administration but it feels more like it was written about our current predicament.
