> It's deceptively styled to look a big boy car, but it's a matchbox. That's why no reviewers will show themselves or anyone else towering over it. It's for those who want a big car, but without all that space.

I miss the days when men looking to compensate would buy sports cars. It wasn't any less ridiculous, but at least they (edit: the cars) were better looking and more fun to drive.

If only those ridiculous guys who wanted something fun to drive had realized how much more fun they could have by making fun of people and feeling superior.

Yikes, someone's a bit oversensitive

I guess it depends on what they were compensating for. Up until the 80's and 90's at least there was more association of racing cars with road cars that you could buy.

So that would associate you with the (A man's manly-man maybe?) driver of that car.

But now race cars are not really much like a production road car. And those older men with money don't necessarily want to be like the ever younger drivers being employed to win races.

As you say, ridiculous, but at least the sports cars were cool.

Nice edit.

Weird, because that's exactly what it looks like.

I must have missed the episode where Babu spent months in a concentration camp despite having his paperwork in order and doing nothing wrong.

I thought Anthropic's commercials were pretty good at skewering advertising in AI, but from an effectiveness standpoint I don't know how much Joe Sixpack cares about (or is even aware of) different AI companies.

Totally agree.

It’s all the same to more than most people.

And I don’t think anyone’s going to switch to Anthropic because of ads. They’ll switch because it’s a better product.

Most people haven't even used any AI at all. None of these ads gave a reason as to why they should even start.

If only the NFL had chosen a pop star who sings in English for the halftime show, then we'd all live in harmony and all the people "concerned" about the country being overrun by Latinos would relax and embrace multiculturalism. /s

> In a November 2024 exchange, @beaverd weighed in after another user commented on photos of then-President-elect Donald Trump meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House. “Weird that he looks so happy while hanging out with literally Hitler,” the other user commented, to which @beaverd replied: “God I wish he was literally Hitler.”

Sounds pretty straightforward to me. What do you think he meant?

I find that people in the HN community either can't detect sarcasm (on the spectrum) or are intentionally being dishonest. Not camp you fall in, tbh.

It is difficult. Most of your comments are indistinguishable from parody despite you being (ostensibly) honest.

If you think it was sarcasm, I'd certainly be willing to hear what you think the actual statement being made was.

Please explain:

- What the actual intent of the post was

- How the text of the post communicated that intent

Thanks!

> The chat logs will clearly show fraud attempts.

What basis do you have for this assertion?

I think you might be confusing measles with chicken pox? The latter is the cause of shingles later in life.

Thanks for the correction, you are right. Also about the confusion!

It's not "cannot" but "will not", and the flaw is not with the American political system but with the GOP and the American populace. Congress could absolutely rein this in at any time if Republicans in Congress cared to do so; the Supreme Court could rein this in at any time if the Republicans on the Supreme Court cared to do so. Do not let yourself be convinced that the problem is Trump or a too-powerful executive; the problem is an entire party and the people who cheerfully vote for it.

But neither congress nor the presidency is an accurate representation of the will of the people, and that is one of the flaws with the American political system.

The problem is that it does represent a lot of people in America. A very vocal and active part of America. It’s not some tiny demographic either. It doesn’t represent the majority but the majority doesn’t vote, doesn’t take action, and is overall extremely passive in their political position. Some of this is good because most Americans are wildly uneducated. Problem is that people are more likely to try to protect what exists than try to move towards a new paradigm. That’s the biggest reason we have such a slow moving system in the US. Most people in the US are very wary of change at this point because they’re not educated about anything.

That's true to a certain extent, but I think a significant reason for Trump's success is precisely that the government is so unresponsive that many people were willing to suffer an extremely painful self-inflicted wound just to break out of the status quo.

There were some. They all got dismantled. Loyalists have been systematically installed into all relevant positions. What system is immune to this? There is none. Voters have to take responsibility for what they voted for, which is the complete destruction of the United States of America as a political unit.

How on earth can you say that with a straight face?

> Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. The extent of ICE’s noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated. This list is confined to orders issued since January 1, 2026, and the list was hurriedly compiled by extraordinarily busy judges.

> ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.

This is an official filing--facts, not a news report. A judge placed his job on the line and said these things in a written, filed, official ruling.

The problem isn't judicial rulings; the problems are petulant bullies who simply ignore the rulings; and completely subservient sycophants who only can say "As you wish, master."
