A couple of engineers ordered 50 waymos to one dead end street to see what would happen LOL

They are holding up the fucking phone anyways! Hold it to your fucking ear Jesus fuck.

the only time i can see that making any sense at all is if you're having a conversation with someone and you want someone else in the room to hear what they are saying.

funny you guys bring it up i was driving a few days ago and saw an indian girl talking like that while crossing the street...

But even then, why would you hold the phone to your mouth as if to consume a slice of fucking pizza!!!!!

:fuuuuu:

devil's advocate moment:

some people have difficulty positioning their ear over the speaker on their phones. others use speakerphone because they're hard of hearing.

and if i had to guess, holding the phone like a slice of pizza is because they're projecting their difficulty hearing towards who they're talking to. if i can't hear that means you can't hear so let me speak with the phone directly in front of my mouth and then point the speaker at my ear while speakerphone is on lol.

it definitely bothers me too but i find i'm more forgiving when it's an elderly person. if you're some young ass mofo who's just being inconsiderate to everyone around you, then ya fuck that person. old people? ok, sure.

They do this so they can flex to others around them how important their conversations are while multitasking (and I'm being very polite about it.)

It's also always a certain cultural group that does that, perhaps phone on your ear is not halal?

There's a disturbing trend (which isn't new) where Asians will watch a video with full volume while eating at a restaurant. How is that even acceptable or appropriate?

Honestly the group I see do it most are white dudes in ARCTERYX jackets with tiny hats

They wnat everyone to see and hear how COOL their life is bruh

TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT yo hit me up dawg fr fr we doin that up dis weekend ya ya ya bring doze shawties with you too 6-7 6-7

I think you guys should join in on the conversation next time! they want everyone to hear what's going on so clearly you can add your comments too right? I would think Hobz would love doing shit like this being the shit disturber he is and all :lol

Asian aunties be warned! lots of DLLM coming into your conversations soon

This screams tech bro or private equity bro

LOL I asked GPT to generate me an image and it gave me a jew.

This screams unemployed broccoli head gen z

when i was walking around with my meta glasses talking on the phone, i assume b/c i had no earbuds and people saw me talking they thought i was talking to them.

it defeats the purpose, but i've had to hold my phone in the pizza manner so people won't walk up to me asking what i'm asking them, so they know i'm on the phone and ain't talking to them. i found it stupidly ironic

I really should be asking in your roast BIC_BAWS thread, but are you currently employed? :suspicious:

I don't have as much hair as those guys.. so yes.

The only appropriate use of AI

that Arcteryx doesn't have the goretex label does it?

FAKE

They're scaling pretty good. Just announced next service will be London UK, which is also the first location they operate that has inclement weather but no snow. Did you see their Zeekr china van made solely for them roaming around SF? Looks pretty neat and from what I read they drove the cost down to 70K USD with the lidar system (Before China tariffs).

Either way cool stuff coming.

Have you seen their expansion the last 5yrs? If Tesla didn't expanded in Austin so quickly, they wouldn't have expanded either. The reason is simple. It cost them huge amount of money to expand. Their cars are more expensive. Their maps are more expensive and just about anything in their operation (say partnering with Uber) is more expensive than Tesla.

The market is never about which solution is better, it's always about which one is the most cost effective. With Google being reluctant on continuing to fund Waymo, unless Waymo finds a way to reach profitability, its days are counted.

I would rock that hahah

Wouldn't that fog up inside in no time?

still better than getting soaked... also, it's a 20 min walk, I would survive :lol

I'm surprised people assumed you were talking to them, because for the longest time since Bluetooth earpieces were invented, people have been yapping away on their phone without any obvious signs of them holding onto a phone. At least, that's what a gob ton of Chinese people do.

And this was the time when single Bluetooth earpiece was popular.

I still see people doing this all the time, except that nowadays, the single Bluetooth earpiece is replaced with AirPods or something along those lines. People still yap away, or maybe they are just giving voice commands to their phones. I dunno.
