reminder to never submit to a field sobriety test, as you are at the whom of the officer conducting it, and as we all know, acab

also if you drive under the influence or are fucking around with your touchscreen dash or phone or something, fuck you

You’re just looking at it upside down

it’s magic tho

same here, but even I’m looking to cancel both to avoid supporting a US company and because they’re making my experience worse by having a shitty user experience

it’s 3/6

right, like you’re using your vehicle appropriately for its capabilities. people seem to think that they need to use it at 10% of its capabilities

stuff like this is why I want to focus on the wide, sweeping generalization of “smaller vehicle is better”

there’s no need for someone in your position to drive a massive crossover for your commute in case you need to pick up 30 lb of groceries after work. you can do that with a hatchback, and pretty much the biggest reason that people don’t choose to do it with a hatchback is that they’re afraid of the bigger heavier vehicles on the road

I still push bicycle infrastructure, but I’m not going to push for everybody to get on bikes. I’m going to push for everybody to stop having such goddamn offensive dangerous vehicles (yes please drive at me at 90 km/h with blinding headlights in a 4,000 lb vehicle with a hood that is above my eye level when I’m in a vehicle with 8 in of ground clearance), and try to get them to realize that no it’s not okay because it came that way, you bought it and you have a responsibility as the owner and driver

I agree with all of this and personally I have replaced as many car trips as I can with a bicycle

however I also recognize that that’s simply too far for most people right now, at least in my area. people love their cars. I would just love it if they weren’t so damn dangerous and offensive, and I wasn’t nearly killed every time I go out and they come near me. that’s literally a 50/50 chance when I bike to the grocery store that somebody nearly kills me (actually in the past 3 weeks that ratio is a little bit safer, but history shows that I’ll have a bunch of things happen in a short time to bring it back to even).

first we need people to recognize that they don’t need massive vehicles. then an extension of that logic is that they don’t need a motor vehicle for a lot of things.

stop forcing you to use them? absolutely

get rid of them? fuck no

okay well goodbye Google, then

what’s the alternative here?

nah, forget about them

let us have economical cars because we don’t need these massive expensive things just to go 5km to get a load of groceries

yet another reason to ditch microsoft

until your computer force reboots itself in the middle of the day to do updates it didn’t tell you about, and you log back in and later that night find it uploaded all your shit to the cloud and just for good measure deleted some of it too as a fuck you

it’s the Microsoft way

bingo

I can only imagine the other dumb shit that happens in your life because of her

Wait do you actually not know?

I’m not mad I’m just actually impressed and happy to see a new perspective

that’s jango fett on the left from star wars. the scientist dude in the middle from jurassic park. and karl “I’ll bloody well blend in to whatever role I’m in and you won’t know it’s me*” urban on the right (eomer from lord of the rings)

*not as well as Gary Oldman though

if there’s one thing that I support less than american companies, it’s the american government

it’s still better than nothing, and it can be funded entirely with vehicle licensing fees

in testing, the worst drivers overestimate their ability, and after completing the test even increase their self ranking

the best drivers underestimate their ability, and rate themselves even lower after completing the test

too bad she wasn’t injured enough to prevent her from ever driving again. seeing as that’s the only thing that would actually stop her
