Reply to Nurses' attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination for their children are highly influenced by partisanship, a new study finds by Additional-Two-7312

WRONG! It is correlated, not influenced by. Identifying as a Republican doesn't make you magically angry about vaccines. People who tend to vote republican are also not smart enough to understand vaccines. They occur together; political opinion is an end-result and can't have a direct influence on how you feel about other things. Its the label for how you feel about other things.

Reply to Mark Zuckerberg Defends Push Toward Metaverse At DealBook Summit | Skepticism doesn’t bother me too much by BiscuitOfGinger

He truly has nothing to lose. Probably has a massive saving account protected from his business finances so he can just dick around with a billion dollar company, thousands of people's livelihoods, and if it goes tits up he is still a rich asshole.

Not surprised at all that he is clinging to this.

Reply to ‘Cleaner Air Is Coming’ as London Expands Vehicle Pollution Fee to Entire Metro Area by chrisdh79

Wow, so it is once again the responsibility of consumers to fix pollution. This fee should be leveled against companies who produce the polluting vehicles instead of people who bought them. Consumers are not infallible. We don't have the time to research every implication of every product we buy. It is much more reasonable to have a company research the implication of each product they make, instead.

Reply to Automakers are going all-in on gaming to keep us in our cars by Test19s

  • This would be another nail in the coffin of physical buttons on dashboards. I love physical buttons on dashboards.
  • If there are no cloud saves so I can play stardew valley on my PC at home after a 4 hour binge while driving back from grandma's, this is mostly pointless.
  • This only helps passengers until the stupid car drives itself. Passengers who already have access to smartphones with loads of ported games and emulators already.
  • If they only offer games through wireless download as the article suggests, you can bet your ass its gonna be a monthly fee to play the downloaded games even when you only need the data to download it once (they will act like its an online game by making constantly updating leader boards and a newsfeed and shit)
  • Controlling with your phone while not looking at the virtual buttons on the phone is going to be impossible for complex games. If it doesnt have full controller support its limited to 4-button games and so why even play tetris on a 14 inch screen when you can play genshin impact on an 8 inch screen.

This is pretty excessive and reminds me a lot of Car Thing by Spotify. Its so much expensive hardware and software for something I will rarely ever do.
