ok but why though? Eliminating car polution, thats a solid reason to fight for, self driving cars could even help reduce that. Just think about some uber-like program where one car can fit like five people, you could carpool like hell with those.

That sounds hellish. If I wanted to be crammed into a small vehicle with people I don't like I'd take the bus/train.

also if your starting model is based on uber, you're dooming yourself to failure. Uber is not a business, they are just a bunch of anti-taxi blowhards who will be so much worse to both employees and customers once they accomplish their goal of eliminating taxis.

Ban all motorized vehicles.
Let's go back to walking, cycling, or using horses and buggies.
Fewer accidents, fewer deaths and permanent injuries, less pollution in the air.
Ban cars, ban trucks, ban boats, ban airplanes, ban trains.
If you need to go to work miles away from where you live, either wake up earlier or get your legs in shape.

Why won't it happen? Seriously. If somebody has a self driving car, they just need to pop into a store real quick, there's no free parking spaces close by, why wouldn't they tell the car to circle the block? Who would stop them from doing that?

I'm just spitballing, yeah saying "like uber" is bad, the same way describing a board game as "like RISK" is bad, but what I'm trying to say is "what if it was like uber but not poo poo?"

The worst part of playing risk with people who don't "get it" is when they introduce custom rules to make it go faster.

When my family and I went to Disneyland over 20 years ago, we were standing in line for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
A father with his two young children were walking on the other side of the chain separating the in/out lines.
The man looked at my dad and said "That sure was a wild ride!"
So of course, as a kid, I became excited.
We got to the front and the operator waved us through.
We entered the cart, and the ride began.
That's when I learned the meaning of sarcasm.

Monopoly is only fun when people aren't dicks about it. There are always people who refuse to trade at all out of spite, and the rest will give unfair trades to the opponent of whoever's hotel they landed on first out of spite. I can't remember a monopoly game where people actually made trades that made sense for both parties. It always devolves into a game of "gently caress that guy", where "that guy" is whoever gets an early lead and everyone teams up on them.

Even if you try to institute a no quitting rule (and I have tried it), they just get around it by making the aforementioned awful trades like "i'll trade you (the underdog) all my properties for your get out of jail free card". You can even try to put trades up for a vote and it still won't work because the number of bitter people who want it to end fast is always bigger than the people who are enjoying it (because they are winning).

I feel that watermelon is not better with salt. It is best in its purest state.


who's gonna buy such expensive cars just to take up space and bully out like $3-7 from each individual person? The most expensive I've seen a parking space go is like $7 on the weekends, but even that would take quite a bit of time to pay off even one of these self driving cars.

in short: a no-name nobody reported some nonsense to npr without thinking about how loving stupid it is to say what he said.

Whoa. Where do you live?

In Atlanta it's always cheaper to Lyft, because parking is a bare minimum of $7 and usually at least $10 - with spurts up to $20-25 if there's a big event somewhere nearby. I can get just about anywhere I'd want to go for a $4 Lyft.

The only fun part of Monopoly (and Life and that war on terror game and all other games with fake money) is getting to be the banker and seeing how much cash you can steal while filling out payments.

I’ve won multiple games against friends and family while just brazenly taking money out of the bank.

My friend's dad has a board game that is designed just like Monopoly, but it's all about buying, selling, and trading drugs.
It's called something like Weedy's Dope Dealing Game, I can't remember.
On some squares, you're required to take a hit, on others you make someone else take one, and the whole time you're pushing large amounts of pot, hash, coke, etc.
The rules specifically encourage you to lie, cheat, and steal.
It's great fun.

If you open a bag of chips with enough force that they spill you need to chill the gently caress out. The bag isn't nearly strong enough to require anything more than a gentle motion to open.
