  • Not to argue, because I'm sure what you're saying is very true.

    I wouldn't trade my ebike for an EV, not having to deal with a car is a blessing if your city doesn't suck. Cars are destroying our cities and our planet and EVs solve none of these problems.

    Sorry I know I'm super annoying I just really wish more people would get on board with ditching cars.

  • Being selfish is hetero normative? I'm probably being defensive but this feels like a weird statement to make.

  • Double the wear n tear on the car, double the wear n tear on roads, double the traffic. yipeeeeee

  • Autonomous cars really will be a fucking nightmare for traffic and I don't think people understand this. Traffic is one of the biggest reducers of car trips, it's why induced demand is a thing. People avoid trips if they don't want to deal with the traffic and people pay for expensive parking to avoid driving around looking for a cheap spot.

    Autonomous cars would enable so many trips that would otherwise be avoided. Don't want to look for parking? Your car will do it. Don't want to sit in traffic for 30 mins to get to the grocery store? You can watch youtube while your car drives you. Don't want to take your kid to a friends house? The car will drive them.

    EVs are not going to solve climate change and autonomous cars are not going to fix traffic. These problems are only solved by reducing car dependency and the faster people suck it up and accept that the faster we actually start working on solutions instead of tech bro nonsense that only solves the problem of how to concentrate even more wealth in the 0.1%.

  • Whataboutism?

  • To be fair to OP, they really should've stopped advertising this as a feature years ago. It'd be like if sliced bread was still advertised as "Now sliced for your convenience!" or whatever.

  • Drones are loud as fuck and have a host of other issues. People will fucking riot if they have to start listening to drones fly around all day.

    An eco friendly option that actually makes sense is cargo bikes. Even land based drone delivery makes more sense than flying drones. This shit is probably never happening.

  • stick poking meme

    cmon, buy something

  • I agree with you but this doesn't exactly counter their point. The scientific explanation for sex was not discovered until recently but the biological differences have been obvious since the dawn of time. Gender is a social construct yes, but it's framed around real biological differences and ignoring that is.. idk. Confusing and kind of irresponsible? The social constructs we've formed are heavily influenced by the biological differences between the sexes and you can't just wave that away and expect people to understand what you're saying.

    Talking about gender being a social construct is honestly pretty mind bending, even if you are entering the conversation 100% open minded.

  • I'll bite. Biological sex is real. When people say gender is a social construct they're talking about everything that (traditionally) gets attached to being biologically female/male. Acceptable clothing, behaviour etc. Those are social constructs and if you disagree you likely haven't thought about it hard enough. Different cultures put different expectations on gender so good luck trying to find any gender expectations that apply to all of them.

    Framing gender as social construct is not the same as telling you masculinity or femininity don't exist, or that you shouldn't embody those traits if you want. It's simply pointing out that our ideas on gender are social fabrications that feel real because of how ingrained they are into our culture and upbringing.

    Being cis and embodying traditionally male/female traits is perfectly acceptable and nobody wants you to stop doing that. This conversation is about saying hey, not everyone feels comfortable with traditional gender constructs and that's ok too.

  • I really doubt ddos is affecting whatever crawling internet archive does, just blocking the public from viewing the website.

  • When using public transportation was still considered normal 🪦🪦🪦

  • Yes we are morons too, but we are superior morons. Smart morons you might say.

  • Interestingly the COVID lockdowns might be what launched the 15min city conspiracy into the mainstream. Climate deniers saw articles about how the covid lockdowns reduced emissions and warped that into the theory that 15 min cities are a plot to restrict personal movement.
