Walking / cycling everywhere tends to make you think that people behind the wheel of a car should have everything possible put in place to stop them doing what they're doing.

Vladimir Poutine posted:Hopefully with steering and brakes that aren't dependent on the engine in any way You could stop an engine providing power to the wheels without killing it. That would allow people to, relatively, safely pull over. Obviously this will be done flawlessly in our cheap consumer car age and will be unhackable, despite having back / front doors for law enforcement.

Why don't we speed limit vehicles? Seriously. With the exception of a couple of outback roads with no limits, the fastest you can legally go in Australia is 130 in the NT (on just 3 highways, with 2 more NT highways having no speed limit). So why do cars in Australia can have top speeds of over 250kph? There can't be that much political backlash to it when the only people who consistently speed are a minority putting everyone at risk. Speed limiters for trucks are a thing, surely they could work for cars, too?

Seriously try that and watch the frothing rage.  --- I won't post the story because it's more of the same but the Melbourne archbishop is calling for an inquiry into the Pell leak. Why the gently caress is the church never this vocal when it comes to finding out what happened to kids that were molested and raped because they were the ones doing the raping and don't want you to know

So they're imitating that LNP woman who is incredibly mad the evidence of her illegal activities has become public. How dare people find out Pell hosed a bunch of kids  I'm so angry right now that people are finding out about what he did EDIT: Car chat - I remember the kid who got off for going 90 over the limit on the Western Ring Road because his very good lawyer argued that "His expensive car was designed to go that fast safely."

That's his point. He's saying the church is angry that people are saying Pell raped kids when it's the Church's official position that he merely did everything in his power to enable other priests to rape kids. They wouldn't want people to think Pell is a monster or anything.

I spent my youth as a misguided individual and grew up fairly heavily involved with the church so met this dude a few times. He creeped me the gently caress out, even as a kid. He'd always try to catch you when you were alone and give that mad power trip you submit to me handshake thing, kinda like this:  Whether he hosed kids or not, I don't know. Even as a 13 year old church loser he made me want to stay away from him because that was the vibe he gave of.

It's 2016, and our institutions seem to be incapable of inventing creative technical solutions to simple problems. They have high speed drones or, as they're more commonly known, helicopters. There's really no need for police to engage in ridiculous high speed chases. I also support speed limiting cars. It's really not a big deal and the technology has existed for almost a century.

Um, helicopters are really loving expensive to operate. Not only in terms of maintenance and pilot salary, but even just in terms of the fuel cost. Plus they're awfully noisy, and often used by the police merely to intimidate. As another poster pointed out, you have overestimated how many they have, and the ones that they do have are circling over Lakemba every night trying to give PTSD to recent refugees from places that have suffered from drone attacks so that they snap / to just let the browns know that we're always under suspicion. I was talking about speed limiting to the signposted speed limit. Not just maxing out at 110km/h, because that does nothign about dickheads who do 80 in a 50 zone.

What is Uhlmann on about this time? On the one hand there's this https://twitter.com/undeadroger/status/700913128872087552 and then there's this https://twitter.com/liamvhogan/status/700911310897180672 I feel there's an element of strawman in that last one, amusing as it is. While Uhlmann does seem to be tacking on a gloriously incoherent political justification for feeling sad on the internets, it isn't much more than a dogwhistle justification. His main problem is that journalists, specifically Canberra Press Gallery journalists aren't treated like the lofty political authorities he feels they should be. Don't be fooled by the job application alongside the whine, the whine is specifically that journalists (and no doubt the friends of journalists) like Uhlmann shouldn't have their opinions attacked or even tested because how could You People understand their Difficult Job. Well, Chris, we criticize you because your job is public and you're poo poo at it, not merely bad, but bad in a way that tells us it's not so much journalism as paid propaganda. The proof is in the defences from a fellow journalist like Monica Attard and perhaps disturbingly Robert Hay QC, although his defence falls along comforting Catholic lines. But there's no doubt that Twitter is both a source of copy and frustration for journalists seeking to have it their own way, and it's always revealing when they resort to screeds like this, particularly from the Australian which one suspects would love to have an all-out war on Twitter but can't afford to.

He's half-right, if somewhat unhinged to be talking about his scrote in public like that. There was a massively racist element to the news media campaign about Salim. All around the country there are thousands of corrupt as gently caress councilors, yet at the first sign of a non-Anglo councilor doing something shady it's the hounds baying for blood outside the walls of Rome. Sorry about the mixed metaphor I'm just eating a mixed HSP atm and it seemed right.

A lot of peeps seem to be using the "Cultural Marxism" thing because it sounds sexy and menancing and it's like blaming the Jews or Communist agitators outright in the past. I think a lot of these peeps also don't actually know it's pretty heavily based in neo-nazi rhetoric (because the ~implicit~ meaning is the blame is squarely at the Jewish intellectuals who fled Germany and Europe generally) but it's a poo poo thing to bring up but whatever I am still a bit shocked by it all. Why is this normal?

It's been normalized by the base using it for years, which is why this screed marks Uhlmann as a right-wing conservative, because it's like a bloody big flag saying IM RIGHT HERE GUYS! It wouldn't look out of place on catallaxy.com, it's not even the most batshit crazy version of it (which does accuse Jews etc). And unfortunately a lot of it has American cultural baggage because if this particular political school of thought love anything, it's the comfort of thinking like American conservatives. In a political scene where IPA graduate Tim loving Wilson is getting parachuted into a safe Liberal seat, its clear that at least in Uhlmann's mind, this is the orthodoxy. Anyone telling him and his mates different has to be a cultural Marxist because they couldn't possibly have any other motive.
