But before she got to the actual science, she told me a story.

Where was the science? It looks like the entire article is her anecdote.

Found Elon’s number one fan. Thanks for a good laugh.

Quoted for posterity:

Stop believing what you read without real world experience. Seriously, you’re what’s wrong with social media. You’re so gullible you believe everything you read.

Is FSD perfect or even good yet? No. But I promise you it’s better than any other option out there. I’ve personally used ford, Volvo ridden in waymo and own FSD. It’s not close.

Don’t pretend to know what Teslas mission is. Because you obviously don’t.

Your comments are so laughably ignorant it’s hard to even understand what your point it other than hatred for Musk.

Looks like cameras were introduced in 2021. When was my incident?

That’s the first time you mentioned a camera; there is no “again”.

But what does that change if its still being advertised as self-driving?

People are idiots. They rationalize the safety features e.g. " oh, its not yet approved by regulators so they must use the driver-cam but Musk has said its self-driving so its okay".

Remember that the idea is to DEVELOP self driving software so that the roads can be SAFER (not 100% safe but safer) from idiot humans.

Umm what? The idea is to turn a profit for shareholders. Musk is not Tony Stark. In fact Tesla is now behind other self-driving platforms because Musk does not prioritize safety.

My uber was a Tesla once. The guy was convinced he could text and drive just fine on the highway. Looked at me like I was a total Karen. The average person is an idiot. Thats the crux of the issue.

Yet so many Tesla owners still think its self-driving. Maybe because that’s how its been marketed for years.

Do you get it, now?

you unbearably smug cunt.

Just because the second verse literally has its own implied threat does not mean the first verse is unrelated. In songs and paragraphs adjacent sentences are typically related- its how English works- but I can’t speak for all languages.

Its the same as dying. If you’re that blase about dying then yea- makes no difference.

The problem with the clone is that the original “you” died in the transporter. Are you assuming your conscious transfers?

Yes the implied violence and the introduction of grandpas gun are purely coincidental! How misleading of OP!

Hey, I’m a little nervous 'bout this guy!

x.com pointed to paypal back in 2000… Elon may have been that edgelord the entire time!

Until yesterday the page just had an ‘x’ on it.

I’ve used mailbox.org for the last few years. They are a privacy-focused provider out of Germany. They aren’t restrictive on the app you use, like proton, and offer an integrated PGP-signing solution.

I don’t see how a small group like that could truly oppress them

That’s wild because it’s literally explained in the article and then quoted by me here. It’s the part of my posts you keep ignoring.

Your questions are not unanswered- the white minority council has evidentially maintained power by ignoring elections and by holding private special elections, like they did in 2020, and by also refusing to allow elections to take place, like they did in 2022.

The only point you’ve made is that reading the article is not a requirement to comment on it.

What are you suggesting happened?

I’m suggesting that what happened with this election may have happened in the past.

When he approached Stokes for information about running for mayor, Stokes allegedly gave Braxton “wrong information about how to qualify” for the election, and did not provide public notice to residents about the election.

just weeks after his election, Stokes and his council members Gary Broussard, Jesse Donald Leverett, Voncille Brown Thomas and Willie Richard Tucker allegedly “met in secret to adopt a ‘special’ election ordinance.” Notice of the meeting was not published, and the group set a special election for Oct. 6, 2020.

No notice of that election was ever published, according to the lawsuit. Because the election was not publicized, only Stokes and his council members qualified.

you wrote:

It sounds like everyone has just been completely apathetic to who’s running the town, including the 85% black majority.

Does it? It actually sounds like a white minority council bends over backwards to keep themselves in power by ignoring opposition and holding private special elections.

What I mean by “regular” is the kind of election where people go out to vote for one of two or more candidates. Someone winning by default doesn’t say much about what the people want, except that they, once again, don’t seem to really care.

Don’t confuse oppression with apathy.

Stokes and his council allegedly changed the locks for a third time, and according to the lawsuit, Braxton and his council have not had “uninterrupted access” to the building since April 2021. This meant that in November 2022, he could not help set up voting machines for Newbern’s most recent election.

They will not let them hold elections. Read the article before you “innocently assume” these people “don’t seem to really care”.

Yes, I’m sure they haven’t held an election in 165 years because the 85% black population all agreed it would just be a waste of time. Are you serous?

There actually was a regular election- the incumbents just declined to run a candidate against Braxton. Are you suggesting we should cast doubt on that result until the incumbents agree to qualify a candidate (so, never)?

I think I’m overly sensitive because my power is very expensive and my home is getting pretty warm right now!

Its only easy to call out anti-protesters if you’re well organized. When police attack peaceful protesters and launch tear gas into peaceful crowds, to force dispersion, people panic and act unpredictably.
