Thats a weird video and not inline with euro ncap data. I can't understand any of it so can't really comment. Do you have anything from a better source? Quite apart from the fact that you're ignoring everything else I've said to post a ghoulish image like that as some sort of gotcha. Really classy.

Your car is not safer than other current model cars, including by EURO NCAP results*, and is less safe in lots of important ways, not least that Tesla marketing convinces gullible bazingas that their cars are safer and more capable than they really are. Also it was built in a tent and buying it directly gives money to one of the worst people on the planet. Also also that was a mannequin, not very ghoulish and presumably the only way to do that test, so you can de-clutch your pearls. *https://www.euroncap.com/en/ratings-rewards/best-in-class-cars/2019/ - substantially worse pedestrian safety scores for Teslas than other cars on that list.

Nobody's lost anything. We don't like your car, or the sociopathic moron who bought himself an owner title, and it means that people read "I think your concerns are unfounded" and think you're coming across as smug. There are ways you can play mariokart that don't risk your car getting confused about any road signs that don't exist in california.

Oh yeah EVs are definitely the future and when my current car dies I will 100% get an electric one. My current car is a diesel Golf though so it's just going to go on forever.

Our stagecoach bought the old buses used for the London Olympics, the ones specifically designed for the flat, for use in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. After about a month they all started pumping out noxious gases and seem to be in permanent limp home mode as they screech past my house. Boooooooooo

learnincurve posted:As a cyclist without a driving licence I can say with all confidence that all cars, without exception, are as poo poo as each other. This. Given cars exist, making them electric is better for the air if all other things are equal*, but doesn't solve all the other reasons cars are bad. But, that doesn't make car drivers bad for driving, in a country where politicians looked at cars several decades ago and went "wow, personal motoring is amazing, let's design the country around it", and this attitude has informed policy ever since. *They are not E: I live in cycling-for-transport paradise, but no smugness from me, because contrary to popular belief, Dutch people love their cars and also build lots of infrastructure for them, and I drive a diesel because work made me. No ethical drive-sumption under capitalism

Our society for the past 70 years has been designed around the primacy of the car as a form of transport, especially for families and groups. There is no shame in needing a car. ideally an electric one if you can afford it and it's practical, but no big deal if not.

Darth Walrus posted:There's a large wave of refugees currently spreading out from Afghanistan who need a place to live in other countries, and a number of British assets who we need to get out of the country (probably by negotiating with the Taliban). Those are both parliamentary matters. Right wing MP: Lets use our assets to arm the refugees to retake the country! Its perfect! The UK already stopped a bunch of Afghani students from getting their visas due to the embassy being abandoned, only the SCG are going to talk about support for refugees in any practical sense. There's no way they'll accept the Taliban as a legitimate government (yet) to negotiate with for safe passage either so theres nothing for them to say apart from those who want to reinvade. Edit: death to cars, death to car chat

I'm seeing a lot of government ads around recently - went to the cinema recently and had 4 seperate ads from the government for various different things (a job retaining one, a "please be a teacher" one, a "please join the army we have women" one, and something else). Apparently they seem to think all their recruitment problems are people not knowing about stuff, rather than you know pay and conditions.

Probably because ad companies are not particularly keen to pay for cinema ads at the moment so the only entity willing to do so it the government e: actually i've not heard any news about the cinema industry for ages. The news seems to focus on restaurants and supermarkets (which is fair, those are bigger industries). Are cinemas still on their knees?

They've explicitly used the same reasonings that Loach was booted out for so to make it as black and white as possible. I wish they would actually act on their (implicit) threat and leave the party if Starmer doesn’t reinstate him, but the statement is worded in such a way that makes it clear they think leaving would be counterproductive. My bet is Starmer calls their bluff. (Not meant to be a criticism of the SCG - it’s great that they are showing solidarity and put out this statement - more a reflection on how the Left has limited options via parliamentarism/electoralism.)
