Was there an announcement? Where?

Edit: my point is that any new posting guidelines should be communicated to the users in a timely manner using channels that everyone reads. Not everyone reads the forum specific feedback threads or the nu-Q.C.S. (S.A.D.) forum.

you shouldn't need an announcement or a new posting guideline to know not to post videos of people getting hosed up, physically harmed, or killed as something to laugh at. NHD is spot on in his post there, and on top of that this is even something that has come up in this thread before when I've specifically asked people not to turn this thread into PYF Car Crashes. There have been warnings that you did not need to read a feedback thread or SAD to see, for something that shouldn't need a warning in the first place.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
Spent two weeks in Melbourne, Aus at the start of the month. There's still too many cars but it's incredible being somewhere with modern infrastructure after wasting 30 years of my life in the american south. I think I saw more people walking and biking in those two weeks than in my entire life to date. Half a dozen parks, trails, river paths, even stores and restaurants all within a mile and easily walkable from my girlfriend's house. Oh and every single suburb i went through had endless amounts of roundabouts and speed bumps so cars never went over like 15 mph anywhere people live. Incredibly stark contrast from how people zoom 60 mph down the highway access road that my apartments street connects to lol. Cannot wait until I live there

Granted, usually other anglosphere countries are not as bad as the US itself, Canada is close.

But I have to give some credit to Australia in that they actually do seem to be making some genuine improvements in larger cities. It sounds like mostly still a cartopia but they are at least expanding train and metro service in Sydney and Melbourne still has one of the largest tram networks in the world.

that’ss from over 20 years ago, back when the f-slur, t-slur, and r-word were in common parlance. Social mores have progressed and moved on, and so has this forum. If you want to joke about people getting killed, Reddit or 4chan is probably a better fit.

Giant Hulk Hogan doing 9/11 at least adds something to make a joke, even if somebody might find that joke edgy or distasteful. To me there's a pretty clear difference between that and somebody just posting an unedited video of 9/11 and saying "lol those people deserved to die for riding on an airplane, let's all post our favourite plane crashes"

going to be a one car household soon. it has been an adjustment since my wife was diagnosed with her seizure disorder, but we've both become more familiar navigating the city by bus and bike. the integration of Bus routes into google maps is something more people should be made aware of because I don't think most people realize how easy it has become to ask your phone how to get somewhere by bus and get perfect directions to do so.

The thread already does all of those things. The car crash stuff is a small part, besides the last couple days.

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?
Everyone in this topic's opinions are bad and embarrassing except mine.

i don't want to laugh at the video but it's a good example of how stupid and fragile a transport system where each person drives 2000kg of car at speed right next to each other every day is

the problem with cars is that it's like thousands of tiny trains each with just one engine and their own conductor and they all work for a different company.

I don't think anyone was saying anything like that. E.pilot was laughing at the lifted truck whose wheel came off, not the vehicle that was hit, which may be distasteful since it caused a serious, albeit non-fatal, accident, but I don't think they implied that the person who was hit deserved to be hit for driving a car?

Bethel Park man shot and killed in Bloomfield; Suspect arrested

PITTSBURGH — A man who was shot in Bloomfield Sunday and later died has been identified, and a suspect has been arrested.

The victim was identified as Alexander Yerkey, 26, of Bethel Park.

Police arrested Lukas Kislak, 33, of Braddock, and charged him with criminal homicide.

Pittsburgh police say they were called to the area of Corday Way and Pearl Street at around 2:35 p.m. for multiple ShotSpotter alerts.

Yerkey was shot while riding a bike, according to the complaint. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died.


I guess we can add randomly getting shot for riding a bike to the list of threats to cyclists.

Car culture is inherently a culture of violence. You can't have one without the other. It would be like having a thread on the police but banning any videos of police brutality.

Car crashes are a part of our culture. You may die In a crash today and there's nothing you can do about it. We are awash in death and violence just getting to work everyday. Don't turn away. Stare unblinking at the horror.
