What benefit would a lidar bring that they haven't already achieved with cameras and radar? The car not seeing where it's going is not exactly an issue they're having with FSD.

Life's too short to stay in a job you hate. Collect some fuck you money from your earnings and move on. You wont regret it - even if it means taking a pay cut.

I was hoping you would help me undestand your point of view on this but apparently not then. I just keep hearing this constant anti-capitalist sentiment here but when challenged, nobody seems interested in elaborating on what they actually mean by it.

And how is taking one’s money and spending it on things like art, cars, yachts, islands, or stocks considered wealth hoarding? To buy those things, you have to put a significant amount of money back into circulation rather than hoarding it. What’s your issue with owning art, exactly? Do you want to own that $3 million painting but can’t because the wealthy are hoarding them all, just like the super yachts?

You do understand that being a billionaire doesn’t mean they have a billion dollars in the bank, right? Wealth is not the same as cash. Elon owns who knows how many companies, and those companies are worth billions. He couldn’t even buy Twitter without external funding because his wealth is tied up in assets. This is the case with every other billionaire or multi-millionaire as well. They're not hoarding cash in vaults like Scrooge McDuck.

Really interesting read. Thanks for the response.

Why do you only have a few months' worth of savings despite considering yourself rich? Or are you just speaking about cash reserves?

You're being quite vague. What is wealth hoarding? Is Elon Musk the richest man in the world because he's hoarding wealth?

You're describing the sympoms. I was asking about the cause. "Systemic oppression of anyone without wealth" is quite a bold claim.

What pisses me off the most is that if you’re a plumber you get to walk in and demand whatever price you feel like

As a plumber I can assure you that this is not how it works. I charge 60€ / h which may seem high but that's not what I pocket from it.

Nobody get credited for staying lean all their life. Quite the opposite. I've heard all my youth about how I'm so skinny and should eat more.

Systemic oppression of everyone without wealth?

It's a little crazy when we're talking about half of the population.

Such a privilege to be born plumber

I know they’re a tiny minority, and most of these extremists are literal kids, but they sure are successful at eroding my faith in humanity.

I don't recognize your authority

Nobody in particular stands out, but a thought I had a while back is that Game of Thrones was one of the rare pieces of modern cinema with a host of great female characters who, for the most part, actually had to put in effort to earn their status rather than just being born with it.

Duct tape comes in variety of colors.

Did you mean to say can't?

Sex is quite a broad term but if what you're asking is 'what does it feel like to stick my dick into vagina' then go buy a fleshlight, run some warm water thru it, lube your dick and try it out. It's not exactly the same but it's pretty close.

My personal opinion? Overrated. That's what it feels like.

A big number of instances don't federate with lemmynsfw though, so there's a lot of users who don't see the messages of the users from that instance.
