it should be legal to key any car that is parked illegally, whether it is blocking a bike lane, blocking a sidewalk, or even too close to a fire hydrant

all bike lanes should be separated from the road by a barrier no smaller than a curb, and preferably larger

it's also important that the barrier is made out of concrete or similar, otherwise it tends to get rapidly destroyed

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

ban cameras? why? backup cameras own and are good

this poo poo does suck so bad, I hate not being able to adjust things without looking. I want everything on the dashboard to be analog, but this isn’t even an option on any of the cars I was considering last time I bought one. it sucks and I hate cars

Camera's enable auto-manufacturer's to design cars without sight-lines, so it removes the ability for even careful drivers to be aware of their surroundings and instead being forced to look at the very narrow view angle to backup, and just blindly change lines at high-way speeds since the stupid camera's only work in reverse, and the mirror's are useless.

does anyone know how to calculate the actual carbon footprint of our car infrastructure?

like all the roads, roads, roads, parking lots, vehicle manufacturing, parking garages, asphalt, concrete

like is there any way that getting rid of cars wouldn't delete most emissions? every segment of emissions seems like it can be traced back to car infrastructure with the exception of maybe agriculture and logging

Uh factories and electricity generation have more emissions than cars

Transportation as a whole has more than either but that's shipping and planes and everything

I think it would delete a large percentage of omissions but I think air travel + shipping + military may still outpace it by tonnage.

e: the EPA puts “transportation” at 29% in the US which is cars + planes + trains so cars are probably a quarter max


e2: epa global estimates put transportation at 14%
