cars are cool for *leaving* rural towns and areas but cities should have car ports and make you take transit or walk or whatever as soon as you arrive.

Upstate local musician takes his girlfriend's keys so she won't DWI home from a bar on the outskirts of Syracuse.

She starts walking home instead of waiting for him to finish his set, gets hit and killed. No fault of the driver, she stumbled into the lane at 2am or whatever.

DA charging the boyfriend who took her keys away with manslaughter, naturally.

The right to drive (drunk) must not be infringed.

tinted windows are cool + good plus they make baby bombers uncomfortable

i think the anger towards jaywalkers is that the driver is performing an extremely complex and extremely dangerous operation that demands very specific conditions to do safely and they sort of subconsciously realize this but don’t quite close the loop on ‘people shouldnt be doing this’ and instead (sort of rightly) see any change in condition as a dangerous affront

give every poster itt this gang tag right now. give paul_soccer12 two of them

vyelkin posted:

lol

on the one hand: I love this thread and I love this gangtag and I want to reward everyone itt for making such a wonderful thing
on the other hand: the admins have told us not to just give gangtags to everybody who asks, which means if I go overboard they might decline them and then nobody gets one

as a compromise, I will queue this gangtag for the first ten posters who quote this post AND post their favourite bit of car-hating content

it can be whatever you want, a meme, a joke, a quotation, a picture, but please post something good so that the thread gets an avalanche of good content in exchange for the gangtags!

if you aren't part of the speedy ten I'm afraid this means you might have to spend the $5 to get the tag on your own

when you don't have any sort of walkable city center or transit, the only option for getting a lot of people into one place is to have them drive

rich people already have flying cars, they're called helicopters and they use them to avoid traffic and occasionally they crash and explode

How about we install a front facing camera with a projector on the roof beaming the precious images of mangled toddlers everyone is so desperate to see onto the hood? Maybe the camera will have captured the lovely parenting(or lack thereof) that led to the child being in the road in the first place.

Nope definitely misguided self preservation fantasy. American society will drag everyone down with it no question, but at the very least can stop living in ground zero for every new variant that rolls over this stupid country.

Just regular renters insurance bought my neighbor a new e-bike. Probably more reliable than the bike lock company.

The other car is pretty clearly the aggressor in that video and attacked the guy first, that doesnt make it okay or good to shoot all crazy like that, but if someone is attacking you, you should absolutely have every right to defend yourself.

Jestery posted:

I can atleast follow that line of logic

Jestery posted:

the shooting is just so emblematic of gun culture, like if I was driving and heard a bang on my car , my immediate response isn't a gun, it's "what the hell was that" to immediately bring out a gun isn't a cultural response I could ever have

yeah it's very funny that people spend tens of thousands of dollars buying vehicles with functions they don't need or hardly ever need (like towing or massive cargo space) when it would be far cheaper to just have a small car as your daily driver and just rent a truck when you need it.

well of course it would be best if they didnt need to own a car at all but as it stands people get way more vehicle than they need. people have tried to talk me into getting a big van or suv because i have a kid now, like... the car seat fits just fine in my car thanks.
