We are snowflakes, and a blizzard is coming

It really has gotten amazingly good. I don’t know if you heard I’m sure you have but using essentially the same software they are now level four in Texas. I know I know it’s “self certified“ however the fact that they are taking responsibility for the car actions is a pretty big leap.

@SciGuySpace Well, this aged like milk in the sun.

@SawyerMerritt Since it seems to know where disabled parking spaces are located, we need the ability to be able to select to park there… Some of us are disabled

@GavinNewsom I did not vote for him… So in my case, he makes it clear every day of the week.

[James Alger @JimAlger]

@WSJ OK… But aren't we openly doing the same exact thing in Ukraine?

[James Alger @JimAlger]

It's so successful that he has been begging everyone for assistance for the last two days, and now is crying that he doesn't need it in the first place. He has made a full of us around the world, because we elected this fool. As for your nonsense about Congress… Absolutely not true well, technically I guess it is true they never "declared war" but they do routinely "authorize the use of military force" which is substantially the same thing. The thing is, there is zero point talking to a Trumper. They support a personality that they would never allow their daughter to date, or their children to possess. They don't care that he lies, cheats, steals… They don't care that he is openly and notoriously the most corrupt president of the United States has ever seen… Facts do not matter. Insurrections become "tourist going for a walk"… Probably false lies of elections being stolen, made by someone who wouldn't know if that was the case, even if it so happened to be true, or take it as "stop the steal"… A 34 time convicted felon, who was indicted on multiple other charges is just having "the justice system Weaponized against him"… Well, he could've just chosen not to commit crimes… The justice system gets Weaponized against criminals.… But I literally do not know why I am bothering to waste my breath. The only solace I have is that no one treats Trump followers like they're stupid more than Trump himself… Fortunately there's fewer and fewer of them every day.

It's pretty amazing that the same crowd of people that took every fumble Joe Biden made and turned it into a dementia diagnosis, think this guy is perfectly fine. He can't even keep his story straight in the same Q&A session. If your parents did this, you would take the car keys away… Or it's possible he's just completely lying to everybody and does it so openly and brazenly because he has zero respect for the people of the United States or anyone other than himself… Personally, I think it's a little bit of both. #Dementia #IranWar‌

[James Alger @JimAlger]

yes, but at some point should they not have to put some type of data beyond just fear mongering that this is an actual thing that can happen? There are so many failsafes in the network and the car that this is unheard of. It's starting to look like they've created a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

[James Alger @JimAlger]

@Tutrifour @MdeZegher There is a trick for some people out there… If you get into a wreck with your Tesla and you want to rebuild it… Pay for it yourself, and let the insurance reimburse you up to their limits… That keeps the title clean in the first place. Can't say how I know this works :-)

[James Alger @JimAlger]

@TheTeslaHoe You can put them inside the glass, there's no reason to be outside

[James Alger @JimAlger]

The amount of corruption that is taking place out in the open, can you even imagine what is going to be found the moment they start digging? But there is no talking to these people. These very same people that were screaming at the top of their lungs about Hunter Biden selling a $75,000 painting… Are the very same people that think is perfectly OK that Trump is literally making billions of dollars off of his office directly… Receiving a $400 million aircraft out in the open… He said it once that he could shoot someone on fifth Avenue and he would not lose a supporter, and for some of these people, he is 100% right… But it's definitely not a cult lol. But getting to your deeper point I actually think some of this is going to start next year when the house flips… I'm less convinced the Senate will, but be ready for them to Stonewall every subpoena, and try to run out the clock however, the degree of corruption that will be uncovered, will be hung around every Republican's neck that allowed this to happen. The only way for the GOP to survive is going to be to run away from him which they will conveniently do right after the primary is of 2028. This is a thing that people don't understand, the moment he can't help them anymore they will dump him like a hot rock. The only caveat to that is that he is amassing an absolute fortune which he can then use for political power in the future. That is going to have to be grabbed back.

The truth is the people that get the benefit from roads is not just the people who drive on them… It benefits everyone so this is one of those things that everybody should be chipping in. But we're spending $1 billion a day to go bomb another country… After her screaming that we could not afford to feed our own, or help our own get healthcare… I really don't blame people for giving the government the middle finger.

[James Alger @JimAlger]

I mean… We are using the roads and not paying a gas tax… Although I'm wondering if a very tiny tax on kilowatt hour usage would hit everyone less… Like .05% or something stupid but I don't know I have not done the math. Everyone gets the benefit of the roads, not just the people who drive on them so it might be a much fairer way to do it.

[James Alger @JimAlger]

And by the way… The real test was 9/11. An NATO is a DEFENSIVE organization… Not OFFENSIVE. When we were attacked on 9/11, NATO ran over 350 air combat control missions over the United States, and then served and died with us in multiple foreign wars. If there ever was a test, they passed. That was the only time article 5, which states an attack against one is an attack against all, was ever invoked… And it was invoked to protect the United States of America. You want to know the funny part? The first rationale for bombing Iran would've actually given NATO the requirement to jump in… If Israel attack attacked Iran… And then Iran attacked the United States, it would have put article 5 in play again… And NATO would have stepped up as they would've been required to do… But by us attacking first and becoming the aggressor, we took that completely off the table. And now we have the nerve to complain about it. But you know… He's a stable genius. Oh and by the way, let's not forget that we already have our first Trump appointed Intel officer resigning, saying that the entire thing was garbage and Iran was not a threat. Go figure.

[James Alger @JimAlger]

Hold on… Let me get this straight… First we threatened to destroy NATO by threatening to invade a European country and take it over… Then we call the useless for months… Then with no warning and no preparation whatsoever to the world we bombed the crap out of a country because we thought the war was gonna be over in four days… Oh wait… it's a war that's not a war… Then we said that it would be over in two weeks… We went in because Israel was going to attack them and we were afraid they were going to attack us so we attacked them first, then we bombed them for "regime change" telling the people to rise up against their government… As if that's really possible in Iran due to their governmental configuration… Then we bomb them because we were concerned about their treatment of protesters, then it was because we wanted to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon… Even though we supposedly "obliterated" their nuclear weapons capabilities, six months ago…all of that mixed messaging was just a test so that when we finally asked the world for help, and they said no we're not getting into your crap that you started without talking to us, now we say "we never needed your help anyway" like a three-year-old child…can you even buy your own BS? Seriously. If your child gave you these excuses, you wouldn't accept them. Just stop. It's embarrassing.

[James Alger @JimAlger]

I'm going to agree with you on this one Dillon, the failure to show the telemetry data is telling… Plus, let's be honest here this would not just be an FSD failure, this would be a emergency breaking system failure as well. This would be in the car knew it had to make a turn, didn't slow down at all, which, if I were driving, the car would make me hit the brake and disengage… The driver did neither… And then went right into the wall, which is something that I would have to work to make my car do… Does that mean I know as a fact, it didn't happen? No. But I think those of us who drive these cars every day are getting a little sick and tired of the hate.

[James Alger @JimAlger]

well, to be fair, what you generally see in these comments are the anti-Elon people rushing to say the car will kill you… And the pro Tesla people who in their defense have seen a lot of BS over the last 10 years rushed to defend the car… What I try to do is just post my experience which is in a 2024 model S plaid, with hardware four, running FSD version 14.2.2.4… I have had zero interventions in over 3000 miles, and I'm about to go coast to coast and I fully anticipate that will probably be the same but we will see… Personally, I do tend to doubt that FSD was actually engaged or if it was engaged that it wasn't being overridden because I can't imagine my car maintaining that speed on that sketchy of an area, knowing that a turn is coming… It's just not how the car reacts. The problem is that we have seen this countless times before… The splashy headline… In this case Fox even had "terrifying" for Clickbait effect… But the retraction months later? Barely a cricket. So I get it

[James Alger @JimAlger]

@ValueAnalyst1 @FoxNews I have driven thousands of miles with zero interventions… So I'm not sure what you are talking about.
