In the U.S, there's at least one challenge to consider, that you could cross many of the world's countries in the same time you cross some of our states. Tiny cars work really well in Japan because they have a functioning and modern mass transit system, and not a whole ton of landmass that needs to be traversed somewhat quickly by highway alone.
(Yeah. Quite jealous lol)
I imagine their vehicles don't really need powerful engines either, to reach practical speeds.
It's almost like we should have "city/town cars" and rarer "highway-only cars" as separate vehicle classes, but. . .that would likely just lead to the necessity of people having both, and we have too many cars as is lol.
I just want something akin to my late Honda Element. Loved that vehicle. (Even if it was a pain to work on!)
They refuse to make another like it!
I see a lot of boxy cars like that which seem to be Japan-only! I'd like to see more come here. (Maybe they could upsize a tiny bit for the REALLY long drives in the U.S haha.)
So, that's the thing, right? We're so used to everything this administration does being Absolutely horrible. Rightly so.
But they took out Islamic State(TM)? That would be a win for humanity. . .but is it true? Sheesh, that's the hard part. Who's to say? It's always more complicated than a single headline or news article can contain.
We're almost entirely in a post-truth society at this point.
I've gotten comfortable with Jerboa, but also I don't get to see GIFs and stuff people post, and I'm not sure if that's a limitation of the app? I really should try some of the others though.
And we were all just discussing how those fines were an insignificant, barely noticable scratch upon their obscene wealth that doesn't go nearly far enough.
The threat of consequences by tiny little fines is enough to make a propaganda push to alter the world map and ignite chaos. Like imagine pushing a state to secede from the Union because you're feeling bitchy over paying a parking ticket.
These people have rejected their humanity and become raging sociopathic misanthropes that any civilized society would rightly banish into the cold of winter to face the wolves.
Honestly that's the problem: Good friggin luck finding one in any desirable place to live. People without HOA's seem to be rather distant from opportunity, or in crappy rundown parts of town.
Love all those articles that are like "By 30 you should be saving and have this much for retirement by now..."
Like lol the car made a funny noise, $100 doesn't even hope to fill a grocery cart, and we're enjoying yet another "unprecedented" planned financial crisis in our lifetimes, what do you want from me here.
It makes me so sad how people are trying to ProGamer420$69 min-max munchkin-build their way through socializing or finding someone who will go out with them, or they treat dating like the stock market...or any kind of "market."
"I need to get a girlfriend/boyfriend" is a phrase that immediately signals the wrong mentality, and apps and services are all too willing to jump in and perpetuate this cycle of ignorance and desperate loneliness.
...giving it awareness is still pushing the ball forward.
100%.
I felt physically sick the last (very rare) time I checked my Nextdoor, and a person reporting ICE activity was getting brigaded with "BuT tHeY'rE ArReStiNg CriMiNaLs AnD pRoTeCtiNg Us" type comments. Like I was seriously HOPING this was bot farm activity. Like it's heartbreakingly painful to see people that are sincerely that stupid.
The more irrefutable proof of these crimes, the more the "I'll believe anything I hear" normies will accept the truth as "common knowledge", and the hardline fascists get further discredited and ridiculed in public discourse.
Time to invest in some monkey bars like it's 2002, baybeeeee! 😎
