[Discussion] turning innocent mistakes into deadly accidents - Lemmy.World
I think the most insidious thing about car culture is just how society now
accepts preventable death as a consequence of the ‘freedom’ the car gives us. It
turns harmless, absent mindedness into fatal tragedies of finality. What, on a
tram, would be an ‘oops, sorry I bumped into you’ in to a collision at 40mph
with 3000lbs of mass each way. Or what would be a ‘sorry, didn’t see you there’
and maybe a scraped knee on a bicycle, into a side swipe at 65mph leading to a
rollover leading to red paste on the asphalt. These arent 1 to 1 comparisons but
i find the fact that we just accpet this as the norm to be really telling how
far car culture has taken us away from our better instincts. And it’s sad how
many people wont even give the idea of greater transportation diversity a
thought despite the dangers cars pose.
Probably because the C suite assholes who negotiated the buyout agreed to place the burden of the loan on their own company and shaft their employees. It’s basic capitalism, really.

Could be a genre, a developer/publisher, or franchise. What’s the video game
equivalent of fast, not particularly good, but maybe a guilty pleasure?
God wants the epstein files
“death of the author” suggests some of the author’s intent is lost when a work is consumed by the audience.
What a weird thing to say.

The very idea that a bunch of rag tag untrained gun toters would stand up to a
disciplined and hardened fighting force is ridiculous. The authors of the
constitution fully intended for the rights of the people to form regulated
militias with amrs shall not be infringed, not just any loonatic off the street.
So, teaching the horrors of slavery is woke now? They are just telling on themselves now.
You seem like a very emotionally intelligent person, and I respect you a lot. Thank you for sharing your beliefs with and worldview me. I think we would agree on more than we would differ.
