Psh, as a leftist I'll have you know we've done a lot more than complain. We went to a few protests, wrote a couple emails, and boycott stores we hardly shopped at in the first place.

There is a male loneliness problem. The meme is making fun of the toxic dickheads that are part of the problem and lack the self awareness to realize it.

"Why don't the people I treat like shit like me?!"

I contacted their customer support and had them delete my account. I also sent them an email as to why, and stated I'd be telling everyone I know not to shop at REI.

Fuck them.

There will still be elections -- they just won't be fair and legitimate elections.

They make a lot more than car navigation systems. Their recreational gear and avionics are top of the line.

Pretty sure it's a joke/reminder about jury nullification. "Luigi Mangione obviously isn't guilty -- the guy they got on camera looks nothing like him."

I get the impression it disengages so that Tesla can legally say "self driving wasn't active when it crashed" to the media.

The cartoon wall is just an exagerated illustration of why a vision only system sucks compared to other systems.

If you watch the rest of the video, you'd see Tesla's vision only system is inferior to cars using radar/lidar in other, more realistic situations like heavy rain and fog.

Arrogant, posturing douchebags that don't understand the technology they're involved in and are unwilling to learn. Any "work" that's done is by actual tech workers or tools creates by them.

The tech bro is only in it for money and "prestige"

One day you'll wake up and realize people born on the year you graduated school can legally vote, drink, etc. A short time later those kids have kids of their own ... and you are ( or are old enough to be ) a grandparent.

The worst part is you'll still mentally feel like you're not much older than your late 20s or 30s.

 

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Transit Authority is no longer using its main accounts the social media platform X.

The agency confirmed to ABC7 Friday that two of their accounts are no longer active on the site formerly known as Twitter.

The CTA and CTA service alerts X accounts now have disclaimers saying they are no longer active.

The CTA released the following statement Friday:

"After careful consideration, CTA has decided to suspend the use of its general information (@cta) and service alerts (@ctaAlerts) accounts on Twitter/X.com, as this social media platform no longer provides the value it once did for us to effectively reach and communicate with our riders. The @CTARPM account on X.com is unaffected and will continue to provide project information and updates through the remainder of project work. For real-time service information, CTA riders are encouraged to sign up for our subscription alerts available via text/email, which can be customized to provide information for preferred routes. For the occasional CTA riders, real-time service alerts will continue to available at transitchicago.com."

No further information about the agency's decision to leave the social media site was immediately available.

Daler Mehndi's 1998 music video, in which the singer performs with 4 "clones" of himself. "Mehndi claims his music was often criticized for only being popular due to the abundance of beautiful, dancing women in his videos The singer responded by creating a video that featured nobody but himself." Apparently he wasn't wrong and the song went on to become the "biggest indi-pop hit at the time".

The video caught the attention of the wider internet around 2006. The catchy song, dated visual effects, and absurdity of the "clones" fueled its spread.

On a less fun note: in 2018 the singer and his brother Shamsar were convicted of human trafficking, accused of "cheating people of large sums of money by falsely promising to take them to America" and "illegally sending people abroad as a part of their dance troupes."
