  • Obama was elected in 2008 and took office in 2009. The biggest overhaul to American health care since FDR went into effect on March 23, 2010, and that was with the US congress involved, which always inevitably turns everything into more of a shit show than it needs to be.

    You can do it, you just have to be something other than dysfunctional wreckage to do it.

  • You've got the right spirit but I think it's unlikely that the car would realize its tires have been destroyed, I think it would just keep driving around just with less control over its actions which might not be the best.

    Give them a little hand-carried version of The Grappler, and then if Waymo has some kind of concern about what has happened to the brakes and suspension and all sorts of shit that is broken now, just give 'em one of these.

  • “Since there was no human driver, a ticket couldn’t be issued (our citation books don’t have a box for “robot”),” reads the post.

    The department said that it had alerted Waymo of the glitch

    That's not how it fucking works

    How have you guys not bothered to prepare for this? It's not the cop's fault, but it is not a secret that there are Waymo cars in San Francisco. How is this something that nobody thought of?

    Last year, California governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill that allows police officers to issue a “notice of noncompliance” if a driverless car breaks traffic laws. The law goes into effect in July 2026.

    Oh, pardon me. So you're on top of it.

    The bill was introduced by assemblymember Phil Ting of San Francisco amid several incidents in the city, including driverless cars blocking traffic, dragging a pedestrian, interfering with firetrucks, and entering active crime scenes.

    And your plan was to call up Waymo and ask them politely to improve their tech please? Or, that becomes the plan as of 2026?

    With the new law, first responders can order a company to move autonomous vehicles out of an area, and the company has two minutes to direct its cars to leave or avoid that area.

    The San Bruno police department, in response to people who believed officers were being lenient, reaffirmed: “There is legislation in the works that will allow officers to issue the company notices.”

    My guy these cars went on the road EIGHT FUCKING YEARS AGO

    The big invasion of Ukraine was years in the future, Covid hadn't happened and wasn't going to any time soon, Obama had just stepped down, CALIFORNIA EXPLAIN

  • "Meatball Ron" was another stroke of real genius. "Sloppy Steve" was another decently good one, but honestly, "Weird Stephen" is fuckin' perfection.

  • Got it. I tried to watch the movie but I wasn't into it. I may check out the comics, they are clearly a masterpiece. Sometimes you don't have to look at too much of something to tell.

  • Trump’s biographer Michael Wolff previously said on The Daily Beast Podcast that the president has a less-than-flattering nickname for one of his most loyal henchmen: “Weird Stephen.”

    Honestly, even with his brain mostly rotted away now, little glimpses of Trump's idiot-savant ability to bully at a grandmaster level can still shine through sometimes.

  • Is this "Weird Tales"? I found some of them in a comics collection when I was little and some of the stories fucked with me.

  • In retrospect, Seinfeld was a very dark show. Somewhere on YouTube there is an insightful little video essay about how the first few seasons of the show are basically the story of how Elaine, a perfectly decent person, gets drawn into their little circle and over time adopts their awful selfishness and sociopathic behavior to try to fit in. How most of the problems of the show are caused by their selfishness and dishonesty, and often involve significant harm coming to someone else, and they don't care.

    I can't even remember which comedian it is, but someone had a bit about how the darkest joke he ever heard was a Seinfeld bit about being at the movie theater and just throwing his drink on the ground at the end for someone else to clean up. Like it's a small thing, but the guy talking about it was genuinely alarmed by the depth of how far he genuinely just doesn't give a fuck and doesn't mind if you know it.

  • One of the very few times recently I have felt proud of my country was reading stories about pickpockets at the Paris Olympics, encountering the new phenomenon of Americans who when they get pickpocketed would respond by physically assaulting the pickpockets and taking back their stuff.

  • Department of Defense to be renamed 'Department of War' within week, Trump says

  • There's a pretty good book called "Playing With Fire" about the politics of the late 60s and the events of the time. I had to stop reading it, it's too sad. Bobby Kennedy talking to the crowd after MLK was shot, not knowing that he was going to be dead the same way a short time later, just fucked me up, I put it down.

  • Department of Defense to be renamed 'Department of War' within week, Trump says

    Jump

  • Many issues at play:

    1. In the same way that a lot of people with powerful friends in the city depend on new highway projects, new community centers, new programs being set up, so that their friends can get paid, people in the US government with powerful friends depend on new wars so that everyone can sell weapons and continue to have good quarters.
    2. The US military benefits enormously from getting a ton of practice. We're trying to run an empire, and very often big militaries get lazy because their countries do so well that they don't really have to be scrappy, and people get complacent. War is so shocking and challenging that the only way to really stay good at it is to be doing it. And so, that's exactly what the US does.
    3. The US has its fingers in so many pies so to speak that all kinds of shit that happens globally we determine to be our business. Civil war in Syria? Holy shit, better make sure the right people win. Let's go fuck up some irregular forces that don't have helicopters or satellite support.
