if a seastead ever actually gets off the ground it's going to be entirely white but only because white people are the only ones dumb enough to try seasteading

they won't be white for long; there will be a distinct tan or in the worst (best) case blue tinge within a few weeks.

I know a guy that takes his family to Paris annually and has been staying in an apartment for the trip since before that was the cool thing; I’m pretty sure, judging from social media about it, that he’s a Francophile and it’s basically him cosplaying being a cosmopolitan Parisian every year

My college French teacher was an 80 year old old school French communist lady and it was so fun watching the Waukesha kids have their conservative world view assaulted bilingually.

dash cams are pretty useful tho, i dont see how its an awful nerd gizmo? i also don't see how it supports vigilante fantasies, its funny to see youtube videos of people flipping their car or other dumb poo poo

i put one in my company car after several near misses with idiots almost hitting me bc california drivers are always on their phone. its mostly for insurance.
And yet there is no insurance company in the US that will offer you a discount for carrying a dashcam.

Such discounts are super common elsewhere though.

to be fair doesn't being a french cosplayer just mean that he eats a bunch of cheese and wine? sounds like a good rear end week to me.

my understanding on that one is that despite all the big data promises of better risk categorization from acceleration and GPS data, the only thing that actually turned out to be useful is the timestamps. take a trip at 2:30am and your rates will skyrocket because it thinks you are a drunk driving home from the bar.
