In the October incident, a pedestrian crossing the road was struck by another vehicle before landing in front of the Cruise taxi. The robotaxi braked hard but ran over the person.
The robotaxi braked hard but ran over the person. It then tried to pull over as a safety maneuver but continued driving for 20 feet at a speed of up to seven miles per hour with the pedestrian still under the car.
In Polyester, a John Waters movie, starring Divine, they handed out scratch & sniff cards. You were supposed to sniff at certain points in the movie. This was done by showing a number corresponding to the number to scratch.
Those were not your average nice smell scratch & sniff card.
Iirc this came out at a peak time for b movie actors. Just like George Eastman starring in almost every D’Amato movie. Laura Gemser is in a lot of movies.
But Anthropophagus and Porno Holocaust have a special place in my heart. Mostly because i was 12 / 13 years old when they were new at the local video rental. I used to peek at the covers and imagined the wildest, weirdest movies. It took some years until i finally got hold of them. Needless to say my expectations were too high. But still, the soundtrack for Anthropophagus is one of my favorites. Great Mood.
Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote “watch and movies that you love”. It’s always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything...
Not if the entity that was supposed to enforce the regulation gets enough “incentive”, in order to look the other way. Some corporations are becoming so powerful ( rich ), that they can offer an amount that surpasses any moral and ethics barrier.
I’ve been noticing this trend a lot. Profit made them all forget their principles, if they ever had any.
All the “serious” newspapers, that existed irl when the Internet became available, are now using the same subscription-based model, showing really low ads and contributing to the search engine chaos. They suddenly have articles about anything, just for SEO, just to rank high on Google.
Capitalism was imposed on us. The only way to destroy capitalism, is to exit the grid and not play their game anymore. If everyone, in the whole fucking world, would boycott all the juicy distractions that are offered to us, for example.
If no one bought their products, watched their shows, used their banks and maybe stopped giving attention to the rich fucks, the revenue would disappear.
At this point, you should be able to ask, if you missed something important in the last few years. Is there any open conversation waiting for a reply somewhere?
Edit: if they use our data, they should at least give us some useful tools, in order for us to be able to see what personal information is out there …

If we issued a scratch and sniff stamp what do you think it would be? Stale lager and piss?

Happy Friday, Lemmy. What are your plans for the weekend?
This weekend I aim to relax as much as my children will let me. But my younger daughter turns one on Sunday. So, we’ll likely celebrate that.
