I played in the streets with all the other kids from around the block area when cars where a thing.
Wow he looks great considering he was born in the time before cars.
It's weird that techno drug dealers are in charge of governments and economies and are trying to force everyone to do their drugs.
Shovel seller tells everyone they need shovels, what a surprise.
For this analogy to work, you aren't making kids not play on the street anymore. You're purposefully running over kids playing in the street and telling them they should get cars so they can start rampages of their own.
Translation: Everybody should give me money. Society has no choice but to give me money ...
Why are we sharing this? Why is this important? CEO of Oreo says you should eat 10 oreos a day to stay healthy. Shocker.
Reminds me of this
Because it's to remind us of the world they took from us.
Can't play in the streets? Yeah, the millionaires and billionaires bought up all the land, turned it into a freeway, strip mall, and a parking lot in one, and said it was your fault for remembering it with too rose-coloured glasses.
Is he suggesting that playing in the streets was something he used to do before the advent of cars? Like there were all that roads everywhere with kids just playing on them willy nilly, until one day Henry Ford met General Motor and said, "You know what we oughta do with all these fuckin' roads?" And ever since then, kids haven't been able to play on them any more?
Is that the version of history we're pedaling here?
The other day, a group of kids were playing road hockey in my neighbourhood. Rather than run them over, I waited for them to pull their nets aside, then drove on. Whether he believes it or not, we can still allow kids to play in the streets. It’s probably safer for them than spending their time with AI search bots.
spent years of my childhood playing two-hand touch (american) football on streets with friends - the exercise and bonding benefits where invaluable. huang is part of whats wrong with our world.
Even if it were historically accurate, look at the absolutely depressing statement that makes it : I had to give up playing in the street to make way for cars, that's just the way it is.
I don’t know if using pedalling vs peddling was intentional, but it was funny
idk maybe there were roads for carriages before cars were invented? I'm not old enough to know
Roads have been around for thousands of years, but not really the type of roads he's talking about. Especially since he doesn't remember them before cars anyway.
Neither is fucking Jensen Huang, the car was invented over 100 years ago for fuck's sake.
Product salesman says people should use more of product
"Everbody should use AI"
-Person financially benefiting from everybody using AI
He needs to play in the streets again, for old times sake.
Highways are like big streets, and twice as fun.
Jensen, buddy, go fuck yourself.
They AI sloppified the funny jacket guy :(
Make streets playable again
Damn bro, I used to play on the basketball court or the play ground.. I’d usually take a street that I had to cross to get to it. But damn. It was rough being a boomer who “didn’t” have a park..
And many people realize now car-first urban design is a bad idea. There are pushbacks to make streets pedestrian first
Stanley Motor Carriage Company's Francis E. Stanley says everybody should drive Stanley Steamers. Society has no choice but to change.
People definitely still do play in the streets. Maybe not in America though.
I grew up in America in the 90s. We always played in the streets. When a car came you yelled "car!" and everyone skedaddled to the side of the road until it passed. I still see kids playing in the streets occasionally, depending on the neighborhood.
KIds and Adults play in the streets. "game off, game on", are still in use. People will have a hoop set up at the curb. Maybe that's just 'small town', but I'm talking neighborhood small streets, not major thoroughfares.
But iy is fun playing Frogger on the highway. It's also a game you can play alone.
You do You, my friend.
Not in poor america*
Kids play in the streets all the time in cul de sacs in affluent suburbs with low car traffic
In poor America there aren't enough cars to make it unsafe. You can bike up and down the road all day.
No, they definitely still do it there too.
Society is always changing. We have a choice in how we change it.
These technocrats are so entitled they don’t GAF about consent. “If you’d only relax you’d see how great it feels.”
Up yours Jensen you ballbag
You just reminded me of a friend who had a B.A. in psychology, an LLB (law degree) and wanted to either become attorney general or do an agricultural science (AgS) degree in order to have either BALLBAG or BALLBAgS as his qualifications after his name.
Hahahaha that’s funny shit
That is awesome. If you still know this friend, please, buy them a coffee on my behalf
There are more and more people saying you should go fuck yourself so i guess neither will get what they want.
Shovel company CEO: Everybody should mine for gold
Please, Jensen, demonstrate how you used to play on the streets. In fact, do it at night or in the fog. Anywhere with low visibility for drivers.
yeah jensen, don't be pussy, keeping playing in the streets
With that logic we should replace streets next to CEOs and politicians with data centers!
Riiiiiiiiight
Jensen can suck my Huang
