My wife is picky, in that onions, mustard, tomatoes, beets, mayo, fish, and sour cream are off the table. Granted, I don't like fish and she has a shellfish allergy so she avoids it all. I'm also not a tomato eater, but she's a ketchup drowner.

I get people who hate the lovely fast food burger onions, the little slimy off white squares that stick to everything and are impossible to remove without scraping off all the condiments. Those are loving awful and can really ruin your day. But if you don't like those big purpley red onions I can't comprehend your thought process

I have, no joke, bitten into red onions like they were apples before. Not the best experience, but still better than eating a pear.

Guy Goodbody posted:Picky eaters are terrible. It's fine and good to have your own taste, but if you just lock off entire sections of food like, "I don't eat pasta" or "I just don't like fruit" you're a child, you should be treated as a child, you shouldn't be allowed to own a gun or vote or drive. Caring about what other people don't like to eat is an extremely weird thing

Humans have no free will except for when it comes to tasting flavors, which is why all our food opinions are our sole moral failings.Solice Kirsk posted:I have, no joke, bitten into red onions like they were apples before. Not the best experience, but still better than eating a pear. What don't you like about pears, the texture or the flavor? To me they are like softer, sweeter apples, and I also remember eating pears before eating apples.

Tarantulas and scorpions as food are not particularly different from shrimp and lobsters which people have no problem with treating as "normal food." Also even acknowledging this fact I'm not eating them because it's gross.

Caring about what others think is kind of an important part of being a member of society. I mean it's fine to be all "I'm wearing this hat because I like it and don't give a poo poo if other people don't" is fine but the lol idgaf types use that as an excuse to be horrible, irresponsible prick. And those people frequently end up in jail.

Caring about other people is good. Having an opinion on someone else not liking certain foods is weird. It is quite literally none of your business unless they're being unreasonably demanding of you to accommodate it, which at that point they're assholes for other reasons.

Summer is overrated as a season. It sucks being hot and sweaty all the time. The thunderstorms suck and are way too frequent. The mosquitoes and hornets suck. Its not even Fourth of July yet and I'm ready for autumn. Only three more months until October, y'all!!!!!!

I don't think I'd like to eat a grasshopper just because they would always puke that smelly brown stuff on me when I picked them up as a kid. I will not gain nourishment from them out of spite. The only bug I ever saw that looked kind of appetizing are those witchetty grubs I saw on Survivorman (cooked only, of course). Some of his descriptions of food that he says are delicious are kind of dubious but he seemed to actually enjoy eating those so they can't be that bad.

Those are loving awful and can really ruin your day. Onions kind of similar to lettuce and tomatoes in that way. The poo poo version you get at most burger places (see Iceberg lettuce and lovely tomatoes) are a lot of peoples first introduction to those things and can ruin them. Actual good lettuce and tomatoes (though even good tomatoes can make a burger too messy, imo) are good burger toppings. Iceberg and lovely almost white looking tomatoes are awful.

Safe, reliable self-driving cars will require massive advances in artificial intelligence. It can't be done with current technology. Anyone who says self-driving cars will happen in the next five years is a moron easily swayed by marketing, anyone who says they'll happen in the next twenty years is just expressing their own religious faith in the inexorable march of *gif of the doctor from Futurama saying "Science!"*

I don't understand why there is such interest in self-driving cars aside from them being kind of cool. The only reason I can think of it being advantageous is on the safety side (if they can ever work that out perfectly), and if all cars were driving themselves traffic cops could spend their time dealing with more important crimes. I won't try and guess how many years it will be before self driving cars are deployed in any major way, because I don't believe they ever will both figure it out AND convince everyone that they should use them. Maybe one day there will be a city here and there that has a majority of cars being self-driven, but I still strongly doubt it. I think a better (but still very unrealistic) solution would be to copy what they do in Zermatt in Switzerland for example - ban cars with engines and only allow electric vehicles. It would be much easier to sell people on with a eco-friendly message than telling people to let their software almost none of them will understand control your car.

But there will always be human fallibility in the equation. We will never create a perfect artificial intelligence. There will always be unforeseen ways for whatever we come up with to fail (or be made to fail).

spit on my clit posted:Electric cars are very, very costly I don't mean cars like teslas that are as capable as regular cars, I meant only in the inner city areas where you don't need to go much faster than say 30 mph. On the interstates etc obviously a fleet of glorified golf carts would be silly, but it could work in a small enough area.

Tiggum posted:It's because of how insanely dangerous cars are. So many people (literally thousands each day) are killed by cars all the time that it's not even remarkable or newsworthy. It's just a statistic. And because of the large percentage of those deaths that are due to human error, either through some form of impairment (alcohol, fatigue, etc.) or just carelessness, anything we can do to take human fallibility out of the equation is worth pursuing. Computers are built by the hands of humans and are still fraught with human fallibility

Nothing will ever be 100% safe, but it could be made waaaaay more safe than letting a bunch of idiots propel themselves forward in one ton metal boxes. Plus, think of all the savings that will be passed on to you, the consumer, if we get rid of all the added expense of having to hire long haul truckers to move freight everywhere.
