I have long thought the paradox of intolerance was bullshit, largely spouted by those who don't want to put in the effort to actually understand the humanity of the other. The easiest example I can show that pretty handily disproves the paradox of tolerance is Daryl Davis, the black blues musician who befriended and converted many KKK members, including high-ranking people, simply by talking and tolerating them.

Note that you can tolerate the _human without tolerating the actions. Actions can be good or bad, people are just people, each as capable of great good as they are great evil, and the only way to actually crush intolerable ideals is by connecting with the human inside.

I don't think anyone has an obligation to this. Be safe and true to you, but for those who CAN, hiding behind a paradox IS intolerable.

Because they're still someone. You can't take a hard line moralist approach and abandon it as soon as it's inconvenient.

No one should suffer these things, not the vilest of criminals, or the idiots who think they should.

People who glorify horrible deeds when done to certain people always confused me

I unironically saw one of these and could not for the life of me see anything other than the t-rex's. I thought it was odd, but also better than the other decorations.

Your hand sanitizer doesn't advertise germ-free, it advertises 99.9% germ free. It'd be a problem if they advertised it as germ free, and it wasn't

99.9% boneless wings, sure. That's fine. You expect a leftover bone here and there. Who the fuck is gonna buy 99.9% boneless wings, though? No one. You know that, I know that, and advertisers know that. So they label it in a misleading factor to sell more.

Surprising, a vegan coming somewhere, unprompted, to decry their moral superiority. The only things as reliable are "get a real measurement system" and "oh, that's a problem? I use Linux."

You're blind to the progress you've made, because it's slow, and because you've convinced yourself it isn't there. Keep going, every day there's going to be reason to struggle. Your brain's going to be an asshole, but you're still going, still struggling, still progressing. Eventually, you'll be able to quiet the shittier internal voices, and start talking to yourself like you deserve to. Love yourself, you're going through the shit right now, but you're ~still going~

Happy to see you post again, even if it's not under the best circumstances. You got this, bud.

Fine, it won't accelerate in the turn, you're still set higher coming out of it. Now you accelerate in the straight instead of the corner. There's no case in which that's a good or desirable outcome, and it can be easily mitigated by not having these controls so easy to accidentally press.

Physical buttons I'm fine with. It's the capacitive/swipe buttons. They're far too easy to accidentally activate, since they only require a touch, and they're in the one spot of your car that you touch the most often.

Critical functions, so things that effect how the car cars, should never be on touch buttons. There is too much wiggle room with them consistently activating when you expect them to. If you want to put non-critical components on touch buttons, so things like radio, AC, locks... Fine. I don't prefer it, but at least you're not creating a hazard. Acceleration, deceleration, steering, braking, and safety should NEVER be on a capacitive sensor.

The point is, your car shouldn't be state changing suddenly. It shouldn't be accelerating when you're expecting it to coast or cruise. Unless something is wrong. Which I guess there is, there are capacitive slide inputs on the steering wheel.

This issue is only a couple of levels of abstraction removed from Boeing's mcas system. A poorly implemented feature no one asked for that isn't explained properly. Trained pilots can't react to their planes suddenly operating in a way that they don't expect. You expect a layman in traffic to?

It's easy to decry individual responsibility, and say only the most fit should be able to drive. What about the responsibility to the manufacturer? It's clear enough that there's a design flaw with this system. More drivers need to be aware, but why the hard-on for defending a clearly bad implementation of a feature? What's at stake for you?

Can confirm, my car has the following cruise control buttons:

On/off - res/+

Cancel - set/-

The on/off button arms or disarms cruise control entirely. With it armed and no speed set, set/+ will set the current speed as the target speed. With no speed set, the only other button that does anything is the on/off button, which disarms the system.

With a speed set:

On/off will still complete disarm the system

Cancel will remove the set speed, but keep the system armed

Tapping the brake will pause the cruise control

Res/+ will increment the speed by one mph, or resume cruise at the previous set speed if cruise has been paused

Set/- will decrement the mph by 1, or if held pause the cruise control until it's released.

One of set or resume will set the current travel speed as the new cruise speed, if travel speed is higher than cruise. I think it's res.

For the most part this works fine. I don't use the resume function, like you said it can be a bit harrowing if you're not certain exactly what speed is set, and my car is over a decade old - it doesn't have that feature. But, critically, it's not a fucking CAPACITIVE BUTTON, and I've never accidentally hit it once.

Sure, I totally can't see someone swiping on their steering wheel, say, shuffling across it to... I dunno, turn it? And either jetting forward because they just bumped it from 55 to 75 over the course of a turn, or suddenly slowing, probably without brake lights. Swipe on a steering wheel has got to be the worst car idea I've heard in a while, and I've heard some bad ideas.

Again, unless I'm misunderstanding the controls, which I am open to the possibility of. Please, if this is the case, let me know.

Wait a minute. There are SWIPE CONTROLS on the steering wheel that adjust the cruise control speed by 5 mph increments? And we don't think that's problematic? I'm either misunderstanding the controls or not sure how that seems like a good idea at all

Paid shill, purchased account, blind consumer... What's the difference?

Critically wrong in this case. Crowdstrike updates push outside of, and regardless of, os settings. This wasn't, and never was, an os issue, it's a crowdstrike issue. Good try though.

There's nothing wrong with tarot as a concept. It's a wonderful self reflection and guided meditation tool. Just don't ascribe magical precognitive powers to it and you're fine.

Why? I wanna know when and where!

Show me two people who can speak to each other like that, and sure. And if they want to say I'm behind the times because I didn't learn their lingo, then that's fine and valid, too. There are two of them, what do I care their opinion on my linguistic ability?

As more people start to use these words, though, not being able to understand them does me harm. And at that point, the natural conclusion will be that I learn and, in some cases, adopt the new lingo. It's the only real way it CAN go - what incentive do they have to not use their lingo? Others understand them fine.
