so everything can be more expensive! and the working poor can just die, amiright?

I’ve been thoughtful for years about how there are no options but cars where I live

My suburb was built in the 50s, and it’s one of the oldest in my area. Almost half of the homes in the township are from the last 20 years. It was all 100% built for cars, there are zero other options. And moving isn’t really an option at this point.

At least you have an option. If I wanted to get to work without owning a car I’d have to call an Uber or a friend with a car.

People in dense cities who only drive are car brained. People who live where there are zero other options are simply getting to the store or to work the only way they can.

So when people can’t afford basic life necessities today so poor people starve and go homeless, but that pressure has some unrealized future benefit the current generation likely won’t live to see, that’s glass half-full for you?

I’m hopeful for better too, but I’m not going to be happy about human suffering.

Ditto on the manual with AWD. But I haven’t been able to cycle at all in the last 20 years.

My last 4 phones were a Motorola, Pixel, Motorola, Pixel. The pixels have far better quality and durability in my opinion. I’d like to try GrapheneOS.

The most disgustingly British thing I’ve ever seen

I work in a suburb of Cincinnati and the car dealership right across the road from my office has a couple of these. I can see them from my desk and it makes me seethe.

Target has pissed off the left AND the right tho

If you’re in public in the US, consent doesn’t matter at all. We need to actively block surveillance, create our own privacy.

That petition is cute, but even if such a law was passed, it would be struck down.

Well you definitely don’t have any right to privacy in public in the US.

I’m on board with disarming everyone, but I want to go last.

Not just our cesspool, the world’s cesspool. They weren’t sending their best.

Where does that land on the scale of Elvis to Epstein?

Now that the Ayatollah has just been killed, what will Iran’s leadership look like in the next weeks, months, years?

Have you guys caught that the Ayatollah is dead now?

We could disincentivise that if we actually had any sway on policy.
