Hi Peter! You did my E3 visa a while back. When I was standing in line at the US consulate in Sydney, the person in front of me was really nervous, visibly shaking. I saw that their papers had your letterhead, so I was able to calm them down a bit by showing them my papers, which also had your letterhead.

Thanks for all your hard work!

The lifespan of everyone reading this has decreased by several decades.

That's not true at all and not what anthropocene climate change implies.

With the attack on the USS Liberty, we know that alignment of interests is not always true.

The USS Liberty incident is so often used as a boogeyman to make Israel seem overtly malicious to the USA. Often forgotten is that the day before the incident, the Israeli air force accidentally bombed one of their own infantry columns.

For what it's worth, my own anecdata is the opposite. My neighborhood (alamo square / wester addition) is rife with Cruise cars and I usually pass 2-3 every night while walking my dog for 30 minutes. They've been, without fail, polite and normal "drivers." I've not felt any concern walking in front of them in crosswalks or biking alongside them when leaving the neighborhood.

I live in the same neighborhood and saw one driving on the sidewalk a few weeks ago.

..Instagram will happily show its users an almost endless feed of softcore pornography?
jb12 · 3 years ago
Reality TV has been softcore pornography for about a decade now, advertisers have no issue with it

I'm sure meta knows how to make a social product successful, the "everything for everyone" approach has earned them billions of dollars in revenue over twenty years now.

In the past two weeks in San Francisco, I have seen:

- Cruise car stopped dead in the middle of Oak street at Divisadero, at night, with no emergency lights on.

- Waymo car driven onto the sidewalk to pick up a passenger on Scott street at Haight street

- Waymo car stopped, blocking the whole road on Carmelita street because it started a 3 point turn and then decided it didn't have enough room to continue

- Cruise car swerving out in front of traffic from the kerb on Divisadero at Ellis street without signaling
