the suicide hotline thing is pretty hosed. like “yeah we’re just working on it so we took it down and it will be back up sometime next week” is not what the head of trust and safety should be saying.

like yeah we removed the hard hats only sign while our intern spruces up the graphics it will be back next week.

meanwhile, at tesla

https://twitter.com/MikeSington/status/1605947630634250242

usually when companies get started and grow, their products get better over time as learning effects kick in and they fine-tune the production process and catch and fix problems. tesla is unusual in that their cars are getting worse the more of them they make

they are still building them outside in a circus tent haunted by the ghosts of murdered clowns, arent they?

remember a decade ago when everyone was :supaburn: about how consumer reports had to change their scale just to account for teslas blowing it away so thoroughly? i remember

i think i should write them a letter and ask if they’re going to apologize to their subscribers for that one

consumer reports has always been kinda weird for reliability ratings but either way it’s noted in there that all EVs get terrible reliability ratings

https://twitter.com/damngras/status/1605998380735336449?s=46&t=3L4AHf1kiLfvY6aOsEEMBw

there’s probably the “love the car” people rating 100s bringing it up a few points

quote:

How Are the Surveys Conducted?
Consumer Reports’ Survey Research Department conducts multiple Auto Surveys each year asking about reliability as well as satisfaction. For reliability, we ask members to note any problems with their vehicles that occurred in the previous 12 months. They are asked to identify problems that they considered serious (because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime). We ask them to include problems covered by warranty, but not the ones resulting from accident damage or due solely to recall. Respondents check off problems from a list of trouble areas, ranging from the engine and transmission to climate system, brakes, electrical system, and power accessories. They also tell us in writing (verbatim) specifically what their experiences were to help us understand precisely what problems they are having. (See the full list of trouble spots below.)

I don’t know what they use but yeah, they spray for mosquitoes here in the summer to keep West Nile or whatever at bay.

All of a sudden you’ll get a plane coming in like rooftop height spraying stuff like it’s the trench run in Star Wars.

Consumer Reports has become basically completely worthless in the age of YouTube. Their methodology of relying so heavily on consumer sentiment, brand history, and non-exhaustive testing can’t compete with the amount of specialized reviewers online.

What I’m saying is Project Farm should test a Tesla.

hello is this the suicide hotline?
id like one suicide please

Back when I was an undergrad the university's sexual harassment office was in the library building and I sometimes wanted to walk in and say "I'd like some sexual harassment please." I never did because I wasn't that much of an rear end in a top hat and also I was sure someone had already done that so it wouldn't even be original assholery.

In response to this letter, Dali defended —

For his anti-humanitarianism, he blamed sexual perversion.

For his rejection of modern art, he gave an excuse of rejecting modern art pieces excluding surrealism and cubism.

And finally, for his admiration for Hitler, he accepted his fantasy for him but told that his own paintings would not be accepted in Nazi Germany.

Dali’s strange attraction towards Hitler was so well-known that even the FBI suspected that he was a Nazi sympathizer.

"Hmm do we think this guy that painted a picture of Hitler jerking off may be sympathetic to the Nazis :thunk:"
