Oh, Biden ordered the invasion did he? Or should the rest of the world have just let Russia do whatever without a word?

Well no, of course they don't. But this company's options will be a) don't do that in Euro autos or b) don't do business in the EU. Which do you think they'll pick?
Complexity and additional maintenance. Anytime someone introduces stuff like this they should think about reliability. More doodads = more shit that can break.
Unless you parallel park constantly and can't make the existing methods of doing that work, I suspect this may not be worth it.
May not fly in the EU. Their data protection laws have actual teeth.
For some reason all I can see while looking this is the absolute mountain of paperwork it must have created.
Looking forward to I Died to Preventable Diseases Due to Lack of Healthcare Access and Reincarnated in Another World.
Hey, it'll be ok. Let me show you a reassuring article. https://simpleflying.com/2023-aviation-safety/
It was actually a pretty safe year for aviation. Yeah, there have been problems, but you're more likely to be inconvenienced than anything. Hope you have an excellent vacation!
"Before you dismiss me as a curmudgeonly millennial in nostalgia-colored glasses, realize that I am not implying that art that falls closer to the “challenging” side of the accessibility spectrum has gone away, or that it has a smaller market share (though it wouldn’t surprise me) only that it does not bleed into the mainstream as often as it once did."
This appears to be the thesis statement of the piece, but considering you've not defined what constitutes "mainstream" in any meaningful way or offered any evidence that the content of creative works entering this hypothetical "mainstream" are fundamentally more "safe" (another questionably valid construct) now than before 2008, all this whole thing really boils down to is anxiety over social media algorithms.
In order for your thesis to work, you're going to have to explain why "algorithms" (who's, exactly?) are going to lead artists to make worse stuff than what was approved by the average MBA nepotism hire that used to be responsible for gatekeeping what made it onto TV in the 90s. Because uh ... we've seen a lot of that guy and an algo's taste could hardly be worse. At least the algo can be influenced by what I like.
Also this image? Yeesh dude. A lot to unpack here. But suffice to say, people don't make deeply challenging art because they crave clicks. They make it because they have to. Because it speaks to their soul or gives voice to their trauma. That's not going to stop because they're aware that shitty hotel art made with goofy materials gets more views on the TikToks. The phrase "spiritual growth in society becomes stunted" isn't just jumping to conclusions; it's multi-stage rocket launching to conclusions.
Ps. AirBnB literally never existed to provide a "rich cultural experience." Come on.
Well you see, the shooter runs through the detector, their guns are detected, and then we ask them politely, but firmly, to leave. Mass shooting averted!
Well ... then 1.5k for the good battery and other options and like ... another 5k for shipping related expenses. That blew my mind how expensive it was to import.
And you get a truck 3 dudes can pull backwards with a top speed of like 36mph. It's basically a very robust power wheels.
