  • Take a group of people who grew up without the need for any technical skills, put them in a car that is wildly complex and this is what you get.

    I’m going to guess you work in some form of tech. If not, perhaps you should seek a career change because techbros love your attitude.

    Me? I’m the diametric opposite. My devices work for me, not the other way around. If they fail at this, they get trashed.

    Automobiles have had their UX smoothed out and nigh-perfected. It takes an arrogant tech twat to think that they know more than every design engineer who lived over the past century.









  • We also have people effectively indistinguishable from them which would make us invisible in the war of resistance, allowing operations deep behind enemy lines.

    Keep in mind the USA couldn’t win a war with people who looked very different from them. Oh, wait. That doesn’t narrow it down very much at all. I mean I could be talking about Vietnam here. Or Somalia. Or Pakistan. Or Afghanistan. Or …

    Whichever I meant, though, the USA has consistently shown its inability to hold territory even when “us vs. them” was pretty clear to establish. What chance do you think they’ll have when faced with people who look and talk just like them?
