Because sometimes I like getting there in one hour instead of 4 by train because my route isn’t common enough to build a railroad for, so I’d have to take two trains. This goes for more than one place I sometimes need to get to. Keep in mind, I live in a properly small town currently.
You also kill a fractional human being every time you take the bus or train, the fraction is just significantly smaller. But it’s there.
No it doesn’t, you don’t have to wait for it to empty and remove the stem. Just loosen it a bit.
4 years presidency.
So that’s not inherently guaranteed. The constitution can be amended - hell, term limits themselves come from an amendment, not the original text. I believe there’s at least one supreme court justice who doesn’t even believe in amendments - if it wasn’t in the original text of the constitution, it doesn’t count.
Luckily POTUS himself can’t legally suspend or delay elections. But I’m pretty sure a sympathetic congress can.
The temp adjective has been dropped for a decade or 2 which is why permabans have been called permabans not just bans.
I personally meant 80s, 90s and 00s as my favourite periods, but okay. Let’s go with that logic.
The Deutsche Reichsbahn was used to transport Jewish people to concentration camps, and the current Deutsche Bahn is a successor. Should Germans protest trains then?
Actually, matter of fact, Škoda tech was extensively used by the nazis (both Škoda tanks and guns, in fact), so really I can’t take the train here in Estonia anymore either, I might catch a Škoda by accident..
For distances outside of bicycle reach, that leaves me Uyghur genocide flavored cars, hypercapitalist corporatocracy flavored cars (South Korea consists of like 3 companies, one of them being Hyundai and Kia), Hirohito cars and buses (some bus services here use Isuzu), or nazi cars and buses. Or I guess Mussolini cars and Trump cars, but who wants anything Italian or American anyway.
If you consider historic ties of different companies to dictatorships that ended 80 years ago, you can honestly be left unable to use any mode of transport other than a bicycle, depending on where you live. Don’t get me wrong, I love bicycles, I used to willingly cycle 15 km to gym (and then 15 km back) as a teenager instead of taking the bus. But a lot of the time, bicycles aren’t practical, and nearly every car, train or bus company has been at some point connected to some dictatorship.
Literally responded to another comment already: just because I like cars doesn’t mean I favour car dependency or car-centric city design. Those are the things this community used to be against, not me driving between towns that will never receive a direct rail connection.
Also subs are a reddit thing, why use that terminology here?
Poor people don’t have money to spend on much else than food and housing. Anyone with money is going to have stocks in these companies.
Also the AI industry is Microsoft, Meta, Google, Nvidia, AMD and a few others. They employ quite a few people.
No, actually when people stop buying things and companies close down, I’m pretty sure the employees of said companies lose their jobs.
It sucks but that’s capitalism for you.
I like cars. Love driving. I still think cities should be walkable and have good public transit. In fact I prefer driving outside big cities.
Fuckcars has always been “fuck car dependence” mostly.
It’s reusable and leaves essentially no evidence of tampering. Additionally, if the person cares about safety at all, they’ll stop the car immediately and the tire can be reused, but if they keep driving, it’s ruined.
Yeah, as a Mercedes guy (currently driving an Audi, but that’s an entirely different story that I’d like to end as soon as possible) I’d like to discount anyone whose Mercedes costs over 100k from our ranks. When it’s at least 10 or 15 years old, the second or third or whatever owner can be considered a Mercedes person again.
The brand new G class folks in particular give us a very bad rep, since it’s usually rich assholes who care about the looks, rather than its excellent offroad capabilities. Those of us driving stuff from previous eras love the excellent engineering, the cars that are built to keep going forever if maintained… And then you’ve got assholes like this ruining the three-pointed for everyone.
And the poors lose their jobs but who cares lmao they should just eat cake
The fuck is he on about even, he’s Danish, not a native Brit. He should gtfo too if it’s such an issue to him.
I must be old because I remember that as being the standard form until Java popularized

I mean I’m not that old, but I was reading more C and C++ books and tutorials when I was a kid, because “ew Java”
They make one shitty SUV. They must’ve learned something from Porsche because the shitty SUVs got Porsche out of financial trouble and now they can use that money to keep on building 911s and Caymans and shit, instead of building cars for Mercedes and Audi to keep their sports car business.
The supercars are marketing for the SUVs and the SUVs pay for the R&D for the supercars.
I was wondering how they would make their EV different from every other high performance EV. The suspension setup seems quite interesting and the ridiculous amount of regen braking will be awesome for spirited driving, though I’m still not entirely sure that this thing can have the true Ferrari feel. But it’s irrelevant because I’ll never be able to afford one anyway.
I feel very overpowered in dialogues for one, too many boosts to my rolls at times.
Hmm, true. That is a curious job. I think it’s called programmer’s spouse.
Well they don’t usually f… Exclusively programmers, but professionals do exist, yes.
Thing is, when the economy is already going downhill… You ought to increase government spending instead of reducing it. It puts more money in the economy. More people with jobs also spend more money at businesses that employ people.
