  • Claiming that any of the war crimes pictured was anything to do with "defense" (as opposed to "offense" or, better yet, "bloodthirsty neocolonial conquest") is olympic-tier mental gymnastics.

  • To explain my downvote: yes, designing for disabled access is important. But making out that the ADA is actually enforced, and ignoring its origins in controlling and disempowering disabled people, is bullshit. So's your original pessimistic example - if we're improving public transit and banning cars from cities, we can absolutely tear up the carbrained suburbs, and massively expand access-a-ride and similar services in the meantime.

  • I don't have to imagine being a black tourist in Japan, I can just ask the person I know who is one, right now, who says it's fine. So is your thought experiment based on anyone's actual experience, or just your racist stereotype of Japanese people?

  • Today I learned: calling citizens of colonizing countries "gringos" is comparable with genocide /s

  • Yanquis

  • A lot of cars I've been in with speed limiters, the minimum speed is 25mph. I've never understood why it's not 1mph (or more reasonably 5mph, which is the lowest limit I see regularly).

  • Someone making a child to make a companion for themself seems like a giant selfish consent issue to me - and there's no guarantee someone's child will want to be part of their parents' lives (or live up to whatever other expectations the parents might have).

    Developing close friendships with people based on shared interests and mutual support seems much more reliable and ethical.

  • suffering is when someone in a climate-controlled vehicle with comfortable seats gets to their destination seconds later than the fastest possible.

    zero road deaths have been caused by drivers running red lights or zebra crossings or mounting the pavement.

  • lol "free and open internet" have you not been reading the news the last two decades, or especially the last year? USA has its own set of "great firewalls", the latest one built against tiktok

  • "more realistic" means "disgustingly homophobic" I guess

  • If only we had technology like "coats" "hats" and "snow tires"

  • socialism has had huge positive impacts where it's been tried and massive negative consequences when it's been replaced with capitalism.

    what's your evidence that "pure unregulated capitalism" is worth trying? glassing the entire surface of the earth with nuclear weapons hasn't been tried yet either but that doesn't make it a good idea.

  • what is your definition of socialism and what makes you say "you become the property"?

  • I saw it was from Microsoft and bailed before it even loaded... the only thing those clowns know about open source is how to try (and fail) to kill it

  • ah yeah girl math where

    "common irrational human psychology" + "deepseated hatred of women" = whatever the fuck this take is

  • Cuba overtaking the USA in terms of rights, and measurable improvements like literacy and life expectancy despite decades of sanctions, seems pretty successful to me

  • One atom says to the other "I think I've lost an electron!"

    "Are you sure?"

    "I'm positive"

  • If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

  • carbrained bullshit from the guardian as usual. do they wanna cite statistics or even a source on "many motorists, however, resent the changes"? of course not, evidence-free bothsidesing of vehicular deaths it is
