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.

this but also

bad shoot

there were no serious injuries

"no serious injuries" means instead of losing both legs the people in the crash are just going to have pain or stiffness in their body for potentially the rest of their lives. we love to downplay car injuries

reading the last few pages I learned that there's apparently a new subforum here called SAD. cool

i guess most of the conversation there has already been rehashed here but lol at some dweeb getting deeply uncomfortable about silicone thrill's post:

Control Volume posted:

You know what would be cool? Going after the people that post weird screeds that go completely unchecked because "cars suck lol" or whatever. Look at this poo poo, this is one page after the ban:

This guy is one bad day from running a family with a "baby on board" sticker off the road, and its this sort of amped up crap that makes other threads (ukraine war posting, everest threads of old, etc) so uncomfortable to read

would love to hear how ST saying he/she hates driving and doesn't want to do it again is somehow indicative of "running a family with a baby on board sticker off the road," that seems like a truly bizarre leap to me but maybe there's some reason to make it other than terminal carbrain

like we're all supposed to make sure that silicone thrill doesn't "go unchecked" by, uh, telling him/her that actually driving is good, and that road rage isn't real, and that drivers aren't actually made miserable by the experience of driving?

I'll disappear in shame at exactly that moment. Actually. But not before I apologize for the overbearing punishment. I wasn't trying to protect anyone's feelings, my goal was to punish something I had seen historically as bad. However, I jumped the shark and overdid it, and in the future I'll get another mod's input before I lay down any heavy punishments here. I do actually appreciate the feedback in the SAD thread, and while I'm still a little harder line than the forums' official stance, I'll save that for obliterating posters who deserve it instead of those that don't.

Edit: but I do apologize, and believe vyeklin took the correct course of action.

So is anyone ever going to do anything about AnimeIsTrash's incessant trolling, or is that mod-sanctioned trolling?

Not my own picture but a promotional one, but we use one of these (Thule Coaster XT) to take the kids to daycare on our way to work. It's also great when we go grocery shopping, because you can easily detach it from the bike, then it becomes a big stroller that you can take into the store. It has even has a small 'trunk' behind the bench for the groceries. Are these a thing at all in the US?

E: it's also surprisingly light!
