You just reminded me I own Ride 2. That game was a pretty good sim, but I wanted to play a more arcadey kind of experience with those realistic controls and physics. I’m going to be checking out the newer sequels to see if they added more silly ideas to counterbalance the dry (imo) sim racing. But, if you’re wanting that sim experience, it’s got that.

Well, you inspired me to answer my own question. Here’s the manual

Now I know where the cameras are. That’s pretty good coverage. The reverse camera is on the tailgate. If it is lowered, the camera is unusable. However, there is a cabin camera that is rear facing. That may provide some coverage to the rear, but might be obscured by things inside. Appears to mostly be for watching the driver’s eyes for inattentiveness, so I don’t know where it is aimed.

I care, you care, and many of us here on lemmy care. We should work on how to coordinate ourselves together rather than try to change minds.

I’ve tried, a lot, to change minds. I started with the most difficult person, and recently a new hire at work is kinda centrist-left and I tried to convince him. No matter whether it’s a nazi you’re talking to (ahem… the first one) or a liberal, minds can only change themselves. They have to want it, you cannot hack their brain and override it.

I gave up, because even the people who are closest to me politically seem to move further to the right when faced with uncomfortable reality. They don’t engage with icky thoughts like “What if police killed an innocent man?”. They rationalize it to keep their comfort zone intact. “Well, if they just followed police instructions…” blissfully unaware of many cases like Daniel Shaver.

You point to an example that breaks their rationalization, and they will diminish it. “Oh that cop made a mistake”. Point to many examples and they suddenly got to go wash their hair. People’s psyche protects them from stress.

And that is the default mindset in this society. Avoidance of discomfort and inconvenience. Fear of the unknown. They want their life to be neat and happy and to all make sense. They don’t appreciate it when someone tries to take that away from them.

Do you think there’s something about people like us that makes us more accepting of challenging our own worldviews? I have some thoughts but I’ve written enough.

I have difficulty seeing the exterior cameras on the cybertruck. Where are they located? Are they active at all times?

Where do you go when TAILS doesn’t feel safe anymore?

Sorry, I don’t know anyone who uses WhatsApp.

(This is a lie, for comedy, sometimes known as a joke when not explained, but it has to be explained, because there’s a preponderance of idiots on the internet, hence the meme)

I actually didn’t expect that! Thanks for trying that for me.

Looks reversible. One side has rag texture, other side has mop texture. Just a fancy rag that you can load soap inside of?
