Filthy Hans posted:If he had miata this would not have happened Yeah clearly the issue here is that motorbikes are too dangerous as they can't handle a little attempted murder via road rage. The solution is to ban anything from being on the road that doesn't provide equivalent protection to an APC.

Well yeah some people use helipads but in a city like Vegas there are like thousands of millionaires going in and out every day and it's not really practical for all of them to take helicopters everywhere all the time even if they could afford it. There is just not enough room or vehicles. You're thinking about this logistically and in terms of numbers, stop doing that. It's not about anything related to efficiency. None of that matters at all. It's about an exclusive and elite experience, where you don't have to interact with anyone who is poor. That's it. That's all it is.

Yeah but NFT's of disgusting monkeys makes sense when you consider it's just another form of gambling, like boring company might make sense if it was just for rich people to avoid proles or to siphon government money into elon's bank account. Neither thing makes any sense at face value and stated purpose, but in both cases a lot of people seem to pretend that they do.

There is just not enough room or vehicles. I saw an ad for Lexus on TV recently where they were advertising their future concepts for EV's and I had to laugh at the absurdity of it, and also wonder how much it had been influenced by Muskian thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKsqzqO4NHw It starts with aerial views of a desert 90% covered in solar panels eerily similar to the start of Blade Runner 2049 but I assume not intentionally being a dystopia, the ad then displays a blocky almost cyber-truk style polygonal EV future car zooming into a huge tunnel going under a bay towards a futuristic city full of skyscrapers. The city itself is an idealised hyper-developed space dripping with hanging gardens, very 'elysium' like, there are also TV screens everywhere displaying images of nature which is again very Blade Runner dystopian... There are like zero other cars on the road the whole time of course, because traffic would get in the way of the ideal future. I can only surmise that in the ideal Lexus future some horrific global event has killed off 99% of Earth's population leaving only the mega-rich to whiz around in their perfect empty cities completely unironically like Blade Runner without the constant rain.

Jokerpilled Drudge posted:was thinking yesterday that it would be nice to go back to the norm of travelling for the holidays being reprehensible speaking of, i actually got into 3 near misses thanks to the holiday rush in my town on tuesday. The commute alone I had to honk the horn 6 times in this commute, never has ever happened before. one instance, I did a u-turn on a green, and this car came barreling onto the far right lane I was trying to enter from the u-turn on a left green signal. I'm still confused because he got all loving indignant at me, the light was loving green so his should have been loving red. The only reason I was out commuting was because I had an appointment that couldn't be missed, thanks society. first day in a very long time that i had that was a insanely bad day and it was because i nearly got killed 3 times unironically from people cutting in illegally and clipping, and turned me into a ball of incandescent rage gently caress cars

My office is in one of the tallest buildings in the area and so a lot of pigeons roost there especially when it's cold those mother fuckers are crawling on the windows like ants but during 2020 most of the offices were closed so no one pressure washed the property so there was like a foot wide, half inch thick ring of pigeons poo poo around the building It took a lot of tries but they finally blasted the poo poo off but there's still a brown toilet ring around the whole building

Watching this guy's channel, he has some good things to say about ComBloc housing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eIxUuuJX7Y Of course YouTube recommends a video by PragerU about the "war on cars." Guess what, cars won. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z8Tb7OA_F4 I like Adam Something better than Not Just Bikes because Not Just Bikes solution was to move to Amsterdam. Which most people in the US can totally do.
