Do you have any disability income?

A 1TB micro SD card

They exist in a thought bubble that 80% of the world rejects and can’t imagine any different ideas being valud. I’ve mostly stopped voicing my thoughts here.

Designated drivers are a thing. And I haven’t had more than one drink at a bar since I lived in Europe in 1989 where they actually had public transportation. For many years I’d just drink at home or at a friend’s house if my wife was driving. I recently quit drinking though.

A sith lord, we should put the foul thing down

I drive a Subaru Crosstrek. It isn’t the most fuel efficient vehicle on the earth but it’s pretty good among vehicles that can handle the terrible dirt/gravel/unimproved roads I’m often on. I’ve owned a couple of big trucks, but I used them hard every week. I don’t need one now. If that changes, I’ll buy another one. Some of those big trucks are actually pretty efficient these days, although speed affects that a lot. “I can’t drive 55” but it would save a lot of fuel if you could.

We live in a society.

In my area there are tons of bigger trucks. Delivery box vans, dump trucks hauling dirt or gravel, garbage trucks, school buses, fire trucks, ambulances, tow trucks, box trucks with 8 meter boxes (don’t need special license to drive). Not to mention full 18 wheel semi trucks that are everywhere and especially our highways. Almost none of our trucks, are cabovers, they have huge hoods on them.

Those pickup trucks really are usually the smallest trucks we see, and when you’re in one you still feel like you’re in a smaller vehicle compared to a lot of the other vehicles on our roads. It’s not brainwashed when it’s observable. I’ve lived in Europe the US and the roads are very different experiences.

I’ve had it so long it’s like a dark friend. It’s a release.

It’s not a big obstacle to your theory in your mind. A lot of rural people would go to war before being forced to abandon their properties. It becomes a pretty big problem to reality then. And in some of the more rural areas the backroad dirt or gravel connectors are maintained by the residents. You should spend a couple of days exploring the upper peninsula in Michigan. You need at minimum an AWD vehicle with a foot of ground clearance. There’s honestly like one paved road.

I don’t live in a place like that, I live in a shitty suburb with no sidewalks or bike lanes, or even a shoulder on the road. You can’t go anywhere without a car, it’s deadly. But I do vacation in places like I was describing almost exclusively. And most of them would never move to a city. But you’d just force them? My politics are anti-authoritarian. If I understand you correctly, you would empower monsters to do heinous things to your own citizens.

Except we already have built it wrong. Maybe if the government bought all of those houses and re-zomed the land forbidding houses but we’re talking more than 10 million homes (probably WAY more) probably $4 trillion+ and that isn’t even accounting for building new infrastructure. Not to mention people would refuse to leave their land. Realistically this is probably a $50 trillion undertaking.

I feel like history could teach us something. How many times have banned ideologies thrived? A lot of people assume the party doing the silencing is in the wrong.

We’re going to ALL be dead from climate change in 20 years? lol

Both are the same answer. I live in a place where you can’t live without access to a car.

Looks like a 200 year old joint. I once found a 20 year old joint in a graduation card we’d never opened. We still smoked it, probably had lost some potency but it still tasted fine and it worked as expected.

Hell yeah. And we get to shape our own stories this way. Game writing is different than movie writing. We get to express values.

Mint Cinnamon. Fight me.

About to turn 51. Same.

Yeah I’m up at 3-4 am every day so I’m waiting for our local ordinance to say it’s okay before I’m being loud. We have quiet hours 10p -7a. There are definitely people who make noise during the quiet hours though. I’m m in the US but I couldn’t care less about my lawn though. Probably some of my neighbors wish I did.
