Makes you wonder who said it was disrespectful and why. Like it literally makes no sense. Surely being comfortable is better than any slight it might be to others.

What’s the issue with caps? I wear a cap literally everywhere I go.

Still called Gulf of Mexico for me.

I like this idea.

I don’t know if I will do anything with it, but I would like to create something like this. Find it hard to develop when I’m not in work, as it feels like work.

I would be exporting records from the database to excel and keeping a record of all the people buying this shirt.

I didn’t see the others?

Easier to actually have a conversation here. Even if you’re on /all.

Whereas on Reddit by the time it reached the main page any comment would be buried so deep you’ll never get a reply.

Fair enough.

I do think the visuals here were great. We had crips and bloods colours both sharing the stage. That’s a bold statement.

I’ll go watch the two you mentioned as I’ve not seen them. Although I’m not a fan of either of those people, musically.

Huh. I like Kendrick Lamar and found it awesome.

I can see the benefits but I can also see the downsides. Where do all the people who have driving jobs go? Do they just stop working as many might be too old to train for something new.

Where does liability fall for accidents?

What about cyberattacks? These are all things that need to be considered.

But you missed the point in that had Netflix failed you could be here saying “see Blockbuster were correct”.

I’m not trying to be confrontational here and I’m saying this as I feel I might be coming across that way. What I’m trying to say is for every naysayer you can find someone who was the opposite and vice versa for all your examples. If that makes sense.

I am in my 40’s and been in the internet pretty much since its inception.

I see Waymo are quite active in US cities so thanks for that.

Let’s come back in a few decades and we can look back on this and see whose guess, cause that’s all we are doing, is closest to the truth.

Just like many people could see the future of Netflix, there will always be a Blockbuster laughing them out of the room.

Steve Balmer isn’t the most sound minded individual and it’s almost expected that Microsoft is going to play down Apple.

I don’t know too much about Clifford Stall but doesn’t seem like an expert in technology and so a poor assessment is to be expected.

3D TVs. We could find people who said 3D TVs were a fad. Almost like people say both things and they can’t all be correct.

To be clear. I think self driving cars might be a think in the distant future but not in mine or my children’s lives. Tesla has an insane amount of data and even they struggle in different sunlights and you couldn’t apply to that to the uk as the roads are so different that you would need an amount of data filmed in the UK. Then do that for all countries.

Are any other manufacturers even attempting this problem because Tesla is losing market share by the day and it won’t be long before their investors will want them to stop spending money on FSD to allow them to turn a profit. What with Elon turning most people away from his companies for being a cunt.

Again, I’m not so sure about that.

Take Macklemore releasing songs in support of Palestine like Hinds Hall.

This does not get shown in recommendations on sites like YouTube and is only really shown to audiences that support Palestine. Macklemore could have chosen to ignore this topic like most main stream artists, but he believed in what he wrote about and made the song regardless of how well it would do.

I don’t know about that.

Pop culture allows people with a voice/audience to have their say which influences the cultural zeitgeist.

Take Kendrick Lamar since I’m a huge fan and OP mentioned him specifically.

In 2018 he earned a Pulitzer Prize for Music, making history as the first non-classical or non-jazz artist to win. The Pulitzer board praised the album Damn for its “virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African American life”. Essentially, the album was recognised for its deep storytelling, social commentary, and innovative musical composition.

It’s incredibly reductive to label all pop culture as mindless drivel. When if you look, there are actually many artists who have a message to spread and are socially conscious.

I’m not sure people said those things.

Perhaps I should have been clearer.

I can’t see it taking off, anywhere really, but here particularly as our roads are very different to American roads so I don’t think they’ll have much success outside of maybe a few limited areas.

I also don’t think we will ever get to a point of self driving being very popular. As you would need to get humans to stop driving really as a mix wouldn’t be very safe.

Perhaps there but the UK I can’t see it.

I don’t think we will get to a place with self driving cars.

Fuck the CIA.
