  My bad on misabbreviating Super Sport, thanks for the correction. You are getting my point though, how did folks who actually fought the SS not feel weird driving a car labelled SS? I know I sure couldn’t without having some mixed feelings.

  Yeah, it’s the same response I have to seeing it in other places too. Like for example American cars using the “SS” badging for their SuperSpeed variants of popular muscle car models. This goes back to like the sixtees too. Did none of the WW2 vets see an issue with that back then?

  Yeah, I’d like to know too. Don’t leave us hanging OP.

  That’s not wrong, that’s working as expected. You didn’t think those companies paid Google to not advertise their business did you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it really do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a stretch. I don’t need to hate someone (including myself) to deem them less attractive or just not my type.

  And I honestly think that’s what’s at play here - straight guys are into women and will judge their appearance differently from how they judge the appearance of other men.

  Perhaps we don’t collectively look like we dress poorly and barely take care of ourselves to women, as they likely look at other aspects of our physical appearance than we do

  I mean, the chiropractor is technically correct. You’ll say goodbye to a lot of things, including IBS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it really do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, get this, the poster is a guy who genuinely feels like this.

  I can’t deny that I (as a guy) have often wondered what women see in us, because to me the vast majority of men are poorly dressed on top of looking like we don’t take care of ourselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Gang Solves Climate Change⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While you are not wrong, the enemy of “perfect” should not be “good”.

  In this case, presuming folks get into a new vehicle ever 4-5 years on average (I know the number is skewing more toward 6-7 in the US, but the point stands) having them switch to a car that has a slightly higher production impact but makes up for it after the first 1.5 years of ownership still means we achieve net lower emissions. There are numerous studies showing that EVs, even when used on less clean electricity sources, drastically reduce total lifetime emissions compared to combustion engine vehicles.

  And let’s not forget that we can power EVs using renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro) which is just an economically and environmentally more sustainable practice than the single-use burning of a bunch of hydrocarbons.

  We need a version of that GIF of Bugs Bunny sawing off Florida, but for Canada.

  I appreciate someone still remembering that, fellow ancient person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is at least in large part how the locking down of smartphones began. People either weren’t around yet or don’t remember how much of a wild west smartphones were for malware, scams, etc. when they first reached mass market uptake. There was a while there where companies were blocking smartphones from their networks because of the security risks.

  It took Apple and their closely integrated/walled garden approach and insistence to sway the perception. And that’s what other manufacturers then decided to emulate.

  Yeah, what game even is this? Serious out of the loop sensation here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations | OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that the nukes did certainly affect Hirohito’s willingness to accept a surrender, together with the Soviet attack on Manchuria. There is little evidence to suggest though that it was the population’s sudden lack of support for the war effort or an attempted revolution that forced Hirohito’s hand. As such I don’t think we can even consider the nuclear bombings to have had much effect on the population, which is generally the point of terror bombings - to break the population’s resolve and force them to depose of their leadership.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations | OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Terror bombings don’t work full stop. Even the nuking of Japan didn’t result in the populace giving up, and there’s ample evidence to suggest that it was at the very least the combined threat of the Russians shifting focus to the eastern theatre as well as the nukes that caused Japanese high command to conclude that their current losses would be infeasible to sustain. And even that wasn’t without internal controversy and disagreement.

  I can see absolutely no way this could not go wrong.

  Often transparently so. I remember the whole “toy bus” thing he pulled at one point during an interview.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shitheadpost⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, he’d look so much less like a clown if he dropped the bronzer habit and horrendous comb-over that I am certain he does this on purpose to deflect criticism for his actions by drawing all the attention to how he looks.
  It’s like a diversion tactic, and sadly it’s working.

  Thanks for sharing that story. This is the kind of stuff that makes me miss the old internet (personal stories about interesting stuff, told in blog format without any kind of social media hype-train angle) and gives me a great appreciation for the kind of nerdy shenanigans engineers used to do.
