2022 LC Thread—New Year, New Thread

When I was driving in Mexico and Central America, I had the sound on, but low. That way I could hear Google maps lady jabbering and at least know I should look down at my phone.

Which is why I don’t have bluetooth, and have an ipod hard-wired to my car stereo. I need those two things not integrated with each other.

Trying to listen to music with integrated voice directions in LA is hilarious. Even if you’re supposed to go 30 miles on the 405, she’ll still interrupt you at every other exit to tell you to stay left - 2 or 3 times, always pronouncing the full name of everything involved. Then 15 seconds of music until the next interruption.

But yeah self-driving cars just minutes away.

lol especially in LA where you have to make 3 different merges and exits in the space of 9 seconds across 4 lanes of traffic filled with absolute maniacs with no regard for their own or others safety, yea right siri, I’m totally gonna take that exit, you chill the fuck out.

I’m genuinely surprised to see this is not standard.

Would just trip a breaker. One might get a little burn, but probably not.

But

Most of the time I use google maps I know how to get there anyway and just want to be sure there is no traffic jam on my route or know 90% of the way and need directions for the last few miles. No way in hell am I going to turn the sound on for that.

This is pretty cool - Los Angeles property owner returns it to the Tongva people.

step in the right direction but that article glosses over kinda quickly how we enslaved and genocided them and turned them into slaves to build LA, to the point they lost their own cultural identity and thought they were mexican

Seems a whole lot worse to eat them young.

Agree, but there is something inherently sad about dining on a fish that has survived almost a century for me to eat one meal I will forget about the next day. Such is life I guess.

Murray allegedly straddled a younger female production assistant when the two were in “close proximity” to a bed on the set. He then kissed her on the mouth (though both were wearing masks, per Covid protocols). Murray said he was being “jestful”, while the “much younger” female co-worker said she interpreted his actions as “entirely sexual” and was “horrified”. Murray described the incident as a “difference of opinion” but declined to provide specifics.

NOOOO he was a treasure please dont be a nasty creep

A simple statement of fact from Ye—“I was vaccinated”—was edited out of a part of the conversation about COVID

In his interview with Carlson, Ye said that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, a “known eugenics,” as he put it, created Planned Parenthood with the KKK “to control the Jew population.”

“When I say Jew, I mean the 12 lost tribes of Judah, the blood of Christ, who the people known as the race Black really are,” Ye added. “This is who our people are. The blood of Christ. This, as a Christian, is my belief.”

At another point, when complaining that his children are going to a school that celebrates Kwanzaa, Ye added, “I prefer my kids knew Hanukkah than Kwanzaa. At least it will come with some financial engineering.”

In one more aside, Ye told Carlson that he was going to be “the first Latino president.” That statement was aired, but it was followed by something that wasn’t. “I just, I trust Latinos when I, you know, when I work with them,” he told Carlson. “I trust them more than—” he paused. “I’ll be safe, certain other businessmen, you know.” (Carlson did not ask which businessmen those might be.)

Carlson’s program also didn’t air a strange claim from Ye that “fake children” had been placed in his house to manipulate his children.

“I mean, like actors, professional actors, placed into my house to sexualize my kids,” he told Carlson. He referred to the “so-called son” of an associate, seemingly to imply the child was fake. “We don’t, we didn’t even believe that this person was her son because he was way smarter than her, right?” (Ye has spoken frequently about living with bipolar disorder and experiencing manic episodes. In 2019, he discussed how he experiences these with David Letterman, telling him, “When you’re in this state, you’re hyper-paranoid about everything, everyone. This is my experience, other people have different experiences. Everyone now is an actor. Everything’s a conspiracy.”)
