Dave chapelle kinda sucks shit. Still a well articulated point.

That discomfort, or your feelings in general, are a reliable indicator of morality or good/badness

Its the root of a lot of chauvinism, but also just a common thinking trap you see across many different subcultures and spaces

Thats super exciting to hear, I’m glad you mentioned it ☺️

Honestly respect to the flower shop workers who went 🤷🏻‍♂️ and just ran over to the bakers to get a fuckin baguette

All good :)

I feel like that has too many practical implications to be great policy in practice, but I can certainly agree with the sentiment

Ay, glad it works out! ☺️

*mwah* 💋

Should have given him a backwards hat

I’ll have to try it again at some point. I found it kinda brutal last time I tried it, and was gonna just try the blender plugin that adds some parametric features next time

If things have improved I guess I’ll have to give it another go at some point

Yikes…

A trustworthy mechanic is worth its weight in gold, it might be worth asking around as time goes on and seeing if you eventually get a reccomendation for someone local you can actually trust

My mechanic is just a dude with a lift. He has a single bay garage, and he works on cars. The front desk is literally just his computer desk where he looks up parts and stuff lol

I’m sorry your experience with mechanics has been so shitty, car issues can be incredibly stressful as it is

Test successful, you have tested quite testily.

Test test test

I didn’t catch the comment before deleted, but regardless of different ways of looking at this subject, I’m sending love and hugs

Please take good care of yourself my friend 🫂

Yeah, I meant specifically in reply to someone saying it should be standard. Well designed as an installed device like a breathalyzer to start the car I could see it potentially being a worthwhile tool in addition to licence revocation, since folks often still drive on revoked licenses.

But I think you’d need to design it very carefully for a variety of reasons including road saftey- taking away agency from the person operating the vehicle always has potential risks that would need to be carefully considered and mitigated as best as possible

Love the hear that, thats rad as fuck!

Yes and I don’t want them to be able to track that either. I’m not sure having an existing surveillance issue is good reason to add more surveillance 😅

Again, we have lots of options to solve this problem structurally with traffic calming and pedestrian friendly road and infrastructure design

Surely you can think of some way that government installed GPS devices in someone’s cars might be worth choosing not to play along with…

The “be ungovernable” sentiment is pretty common for folks on this platform, right up until the cops could maybe stop people from doing something they dont like and then suddenly surveillance and policing might be entirely viable solutions that definitely couldn’t possibly backfire or have unintended side effects 😅. Installing a government mandated GPS device in a car doesnt just have implications for how fast you can go. Surveillance technology always carries the risk of enabling the government to surveil, intervene in, and persocute people for things that ought to be protected activity. You never know how this kind of far reaching increase of governmental power may affect people’s rights.

I’d rather stick to traffic calming road design and better pedestrian infrastructure, personally

Surely widespread surveillance technology has no possible unintended consequences, certainly this can only end well

(It uses GPS. At a minimum it would lay the groundwork for location tracking of every new vehicle sold. Nevermind any consequences that are actually unforeseeable.)
