Elon being upset with people lying about him in the press is no joke
If that was all he got upset about I'd like him much more. It's the way he gets upset with people telling the truth about his products that pisses me off.
Women's freedom to leave abusive partners or to have causal relationships would be removed.
I thought you were in the UK. You really should be more careful about libel laws, unless you can link to evidence Peterson expects, wants, promotes or would even accept that.
He is deliberately vague about what this means in practice, but since it happened before and he hasn't offered any alternatives we can only imagine that's what he wants
It's very telling that you imagine he wants a dystopian outcome, when he hasn't stated that at all.
some bizarre misinformation about lobsters
Holy fuck. Are you Cathy fucking Newman? To which fucking 'bizarre misinformation' are you referring?
Assuming you mean 'male privilege' I'm really not sure what the privilege of dying young, getting fucked over by the legal system and being treated by society as a disposable resource has to do with this.
The sex drive in males and females may be equal.
It's not. Sex drive is significantly impacted by testosterone and oestrogen, which is one reason men drinking soy latte are less likely to procreate.
But in our society, men are taught, conditioned, and exposed to influences from an early age that teaches many of them that sex is owed, or expected.
No, they are not. Unless America is so fucking far diverged from Europe that it's an entirely different culture.
Men are taught, conditioned and exposed to influences from an early age that teaches them that sex is rare, fucking expensive, difficult to acquire and they should be a fucking doormat for any woman willing have it with them.
They learn that force is an acceptable part of being a male.
They learn that using force gets you in trouble at school, in the legal system, with the very people you're trying to have sex with. Maybe we have different interpretations of 'acceptable'.
They learn that boys are supposed to be the sexually aggressive member of relationships.
Do they fuck. Nobody stands in front of a class and goes, "Boys, be aggressive when you're having sex".
What they learn is that if they don't approach and proposition women, they stay celibate, because the women will happily fuck the confident man that did approach them instead.
They learn that sex is about them moreso than about their partner.
That'll be why all the mens' magazines I read talk about pleasing your partner. Oh, wait. Maybe it's because all the womens' magazines I read talk about maximising the woman's orgasm. Oh, wait. Could it be because sex education at schools discusses shared mutually pleasing relationships. Oh, wait.
Nope, I'm totally fucking lost. Where are boys learning this, and why didn't I get an invite?
Etc.
Translation: Even tempo36 is struggling to make up more bullshit here, please insert your own.
Meanwhile, women are taught that wanting sex, or acting on sexual urges is shameful.
Are they fuck. Have you SEEN the size of the battery powered dildo market?
They're taught that they are worth less if they choose to have sex.
No. They learn that choosing when and with whom to have sex can be leveraged for tremendous rewards, and respond by using those levers.
Other women will despise them if they make it too easy for multiple men to have sex, as that's damaging the other women's ability to control men, but that's got fuck all with the woman's choice to have sex.
They carry the responsibility of birth control.
That's a downright dangerous lie. Women have reproductive rights, men do not, so men need to be responsible for assuring adequate birth control measures because if they don't, they can't subsequently legally prevent substantial financial burden whether it's wanted or otherwise.
To the extent that women can (and do) lie about birth control in order to become pregnant, whether the man wants that or not.
They are taught to be "pretty"
They are taught _how_ to be pretty. They choose for themselves whether they want to be pretty or not.
be polite, be quiet, be respectful, etc.
Strange, I thought everybody was taught how to be polite, be quiet, be respectful, etc. Indeed, boys being forced to be quiet is one reason they're falling so far behind in the education system right now.
I only started buying items from Amazon in 1999 but in over 500 orders since I've had a similar number of returns and exchanges.
I've also claimed a refund for one non-delivery, which was granted with no fuss. I had to write to them three months later to let them know the Post Office had finally delivered it.
Given many of my orders were for multiple items I don't think this is unreasonable, and I've always been able to articulate the reason for the return (and it's always been more than "I don't like it").
So I'm not expecting a ban from Amazon, but it would be interesting to understand the extent to which the banned people are returning items.
You do realise that Americans have this weird fucked up insecurity that leads them to name their children after themselves? So you'll get three generations of William Jennings McFuckwit living at the same address.
Yeah, I find it hard to berate Amazon for this. Can facial recognition when used correctly provide societal good through improved law enforcement? Of course.
The issue is whether it'll be used correctly.
Anybody having a go at Amazon over this also needs to have a go at any company that sells firearms, cars, uniforms, radios, coffee or anything else to the police.
Oh, nice propaganda. But tell me, do you have any factual information regarding GDPR or just the bullshit you spouted here?
GDPR is fucking trivial to comply with unless you're someone like Equifax with a plethora of acquisitions that all have disparate data and processes. In which case you have the resources to comply anyway.
Logging personally identifiable information was never good practice in the first place.

The only thing worse than bad journalism is bad crowd sourced "journalism".
The corrupt collusion amongst gaming journalists and their support for people doxxing and harassing those that called them out on it is worse.
People tolerate bad journalism. It's corrupt journalism that caused the kerfuffle, and was further exposed by the gaming press's response to it.

You're arguing over the definition of 'improved'. Learn to fucking read.
No, I'm not. I'm saying that societal good can be achieved through improved law enforcement, and that this technology can help.
How you define 'improved law enforcement' is a political discussion that's entirely fucking irrelevant to my point.
Yeah, I find it hard to berate Amazon for this. Can facial recognition when used correctly provide societal good through improved law enforcement? Of course.
The issue is whether it'll be used correctly.

Has Star Citizen collapsed yet? I continue to be bewildered by their ability to con money out of yet more idiots.
He corrected that post.
No, he did not. Unless you're sat next to him in Tesla head office and thought he'd already hit 'Post'.
He also repeated it in a reply to another comment in the same thread.
His informative posts negate the bullshit the ignorant anti-tesla trolls post
His posts are miraculously automatically +5 moderated despite being (as I highlighted) bullshit themselves.
His other claims may or may not be factual, I can't be arsed to check; the one I did look at was blatantly lying.
Means I have to immediately give more credence to the people to whom he replies. Maybe they're not the trolls around here.
Voice controls are gimmicky trash. Is Tesla voice control the same as literally every other system: reliant on cloud services?
My Mercedes has voice control for various functions. It has no network connection.
Using voice commands to set the satnav is bloody excellent, means I can do it while driving without looking away from the road.
Give us a fukken knob. It's cheaper, more reliable, simpler, and more intuitive.
I have that option too.
From the very fucking article you linked:
Chris inserts emergency brake stopsâ"his best in the Model 3, at 119 feet
That's not an average, but hey, keep posting your lies to Slashdot to try and boost the stock price.
I'm genuinely not sure if you're employed by Tesla or just fucking deluded but please, stop spamming every single Tesla article with your bullshit.
It's all about contact patch vs weight
Damn, you mean I wasted all that money getting my worn brake pads replaced?
GDPR doesn't stop them.
I find that most of the paranoia about things like HIPAA comes from people that can't even fucking spell it.
Well, yes. There are numerous legitimate reasons to mass send emails, not least of which is "I want to subscribe to your mailing list".
Oh, nice propaganda. But tell me, do you have any factual information regarding GDPR or just the bullshit you spouted here?
GDPR is fucking trivial to comply with unless you're someone like Equifax with a plethora of acquisitions that all have disparate data and processes. In which case you have the resources to comply anyway.
Logging personally identifiable information was never good practice in the first place.
If only there was a highly trained, extremely experienced and far more intelligent person that could help us correctly interpret those words.
Oh wait. Nine of them just did.
No, more like an hourly wage worker.
Most people, especially on salary, have the integrity and pride to want to do a good job, and when motivated and rewarded will do exactly that.
That's an odd response to someone that's suggesting people don't fucking sign a contract that has untenable terms in it.
I'd guess his corporate overlords offer employment terms he's happy with, or he wouldn't have joined them.
Apple can get some marketing mileage out of this.
"iPhone, so easy to use even Trump has one."
"The iPhone is so secure the president's doesn't need security checks"
"iPhone: Not for immigrants"
Next time I'm in California and someone goes all identity politics on me I'll just respond with, "Oh, you have a Trump phone"
He was clearly assuming the reader would have the intelligence to fill in the dots.
Sadly the reader was in fact you.
Even at today's inflated fuel prices, that's 700 quid over the lifetime to date of my current car.
Given I can get 50% higher fuel economy just by changing my driving style I think your challenge is extremely reasonable.
