I think the real answer would be “it’s in there but we don’t know where exactly”. For example, show @Grok a picture of a cat and it’ll tell you it’s a cat. We know it can do that. We know how to make it do that. But nobody has any idea what internal parameters are involved in Grok’s understanding of what a cat is. Nobody has a single clue where “cat” exists inside of Grok’s training. Just as we have no clue where that is inside of the human mind. Without knowing that, you can’t activate it with electrodes.

@OctoAbbi @xyphophorus That works if you don’t have another car on either side of you. But in reality you often don’t have visibility of oncoming cars until you’re at least halfway out of the spot or they’re well within a collision trajectory.

@HomerTheEpic @catholicfan2 @McCarthyist2 It’s something that quite obviously most people were never meant to see. I can’t imagine how small of a percent of people alive today have seen a dolphin fetus. Forget before the internet when you could blast out a photo

@prieurdp Backing in is simply statistically safer. The odds of something entering a parking spot where you can’t see as you back in are extremely low. The odds of something ending up behind you where you can’t see as you back out are substantially higher.

Okay, I dug deeper. I didn’t realize how expansive the NYC metro is defined. NYC proper does have below majority car ownership. So I’ll grant you that.
However my claim wasn’t universal. My claim was that in most walkable US cities, most people will still find sufficient necessity to own a car to justify it. This holds true. NYC only clarifies that I was correct in saying most rather than all.

@B840D0o @queerBengali Forbes? https://t.co/SwETKr0D4s
NYC has higher car ownership rates if that’s what you’re thinking. Nearly 70%.

You’re gonna have to do better than “keep guessing 😉” if you don’t want to look like you have no idea what you’re talking about

@Kama_Kamilia What else are you suppose to do when a modern marvel of human competence is flying overhead?

@atlanticesque Can you think of any example in driving where this is actually true? Speed limits aren’t followed. HOV isn’t followed. Passing zones aren’t followed.

It’s truly a pipe dream to think a rule will meaningfully change human behavior without extremely strict enforcement.

[Maximillian @MaxRadniecki]

@B840D0o @queerBengali In the US the city with the lowest rate of car ownership is DC with 64.3% of households owning a car. So absolutely nowhere in the US is the statement “most households in my city don’t own a car” true.

[Maximillian @MaxRadniecki]

Even in extremely walkable areas in the US you still very likely need a car because of the frequency you’ll have to leave that walkable area. The US is just massive and you’ll have family outside the city. Airports are often outside the city. Large supermarkets and department stores like to be outside the city.

Living in a walkable city doesn’t remove most American’s need for a car.

@MCCCANM The problem is that chemtrails are definitely not a thing but then every so often you get some declassified CIA document from the 60’s like “airplane based dispersal of anthrax above trailer parks” and then the conspiracy theorists will never let it go.

@tiredkingsfan @CollinRugg I had to read it a solid 5 times to realize that wasn’t what it was saying.

[Maximillian @MaxRadniecki]

@HunnitLocks @CollinRugg I mean, some ships today are too big to docks everywhere they want to go. You just use little boats to ferry them to and from

@Quinn_The_Baron @GovNuclear It’s always boiling freaking water

[Maximillian @MaxRadniecki]

@LinkofSunshine For a moment I thought “well figuring out exactly how long it’ll take is pretty advanced math to be doing mentally” then I read the options and realized this is incredibly easy.

[Maximillian @MaxRadniecki]

@WaynesWhirled @Lam_mour @CptBuffaloney This just restates the claim it doesn’t actually defend it.

[Maximillian @MaxRadniecki]

@MrEncouragement @BowTiedOdin How exactly do you propose they afford the $5k down payment and the ~$2k+ in moving expenses?
@grok what percent of Gen Z adults have at least $7,000 cash between saving and checking accounts?

[Maximillian @MaxRadniecki]

@npcthingss @25YearsAgoLive You mean 7/11? I’m sure they’re involved in that company in some shape or manner
