Seoul is so close to the border, it’s within artillery range of NK. Kim can cause all kinds of havoc without resorting to nukes. If provoked enough, he could put one (or more) craters in South Korea’s largest city, without even playing his scariest card.

Then there’s the possibility of a military response from China. Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of that.

Lastly, NK has been under all kinds of sanctions for years. It might not be the “anything” you have in mind, but many nations seem to be doing about as much as they can without risking all-out war.

Any website that insists on emailing you a login link rather than just using a password. Then they treat it like a positive and say “no more passwords!” Fuck you.

The sanitation issues that happened at Chipotle in such quick succession a few years ago were corporate sabotage. At the time, Chipotle was the fastest growing chain in the U.S.

Now I’m hearing the title in the Get Smart guy’s voice

I have a friend who accidentally killed his much-loved dog because he’d only intended to be gone for five minutes. He ended up getting distracted and was away from the car for over an hour. By then, the dog was dead. That was years ago, but it’ll always be heartbreaking.

Well, now I know where to go if I ever want the opinion of a racist asshole billionaire. That’ll probably never happen, but I’ll make a mental note.

This is cruel corporate greed. Shit like this is why regulations have to exist.

If I was a Tesla owner, the only thing I’d want to know is if I could turn Grok off.

When it was first purchased, it was an office for a few years. Nobody lives there now.

You’re right. Nobody reads a car’s manual cover-to-cover. Even if there was a way to disable this feature, she probably wouldn’t have known about it.

The boys’ grandmother, Katie Martinez, is heartbroken.

“They were strapped in their car seats. They couldn’t even get up to save themselves,” she told ABC7. “She literally locked them in their car seats and shut their doors.”

The grandmother will never forgive her (nor should she).

Equality House, bought and painted to irritate Westboro Baptist Church. It’s a tie with Mott House, listed on the same page.

“Now you can make every car ride awkward with our Virtual Racist Uncle Mimic! Tesla - the cars with VRUM!”

YES. Finally nailing down clear, specific borders will help quite a bit.

Yeah. There could very well be some bottom feeder who sees this as an opportunity.

The company was also exploring rolling out an X credit or debit card, the Financial Times reported last month.

Bahahahaha! In order to do that, they’d have to find a financial institution willing to work with an owner who sues at the drop of an hat, and take on enormous risk. Good luck with that.

“I’ve helped make things as shitty as I know how, and I don’t feel like dealing with the Hitler blowback.”

I would imagine that they’d forget most of what they learned the second they realized they were drowning. Panic would shut their brain down.

Maybe, if they recover somewhat and manage to doggie-paddle or something, they’ll remember a useful sentence or two.

If police were the honest, fair, law-abiding heroes they’re presented as, this would be a much simpler question.

Ideally, I’d choose to replace the police (not merely slap an “under new management” banner on the police station) with a MUCH more transparent and just organization that genuinely serves and protects the public.

I also don’t think there’s enough of an emphasis on safety regarding public ownership of guns. All laws need to be tightened, standardized between states, and loopholes need to be firmly closed. I know we Americans have been taught that gun ownership is an important constitutional right, but I think that in 250 years, guns have proven to do much more harm than good. Decisions on gun laws need to make public safety their primary consideration.

Grok was funnier when it was contradicting Musk’s bullshit. This is just a pale imitation of a boring racist asshole.
