Wow. I expected the hype to falter and the price to collapse, but even I didn't expect it to happen this quickly. I thought it would take another few months at least.

You know what yeah, that's fair. There are people that enjoy cars for their own sake. Frankly though, those are the kinds of people I would hope sympathize with the Fuck Cars philosophy the most, as the goal behind the sentiment is (usually) not that cars should no longer exist outright, but that instead infrastructure changes should be made so that not literally everyone needs to drive to live. Changes like replacing on street parking with protected bike lanes, investing in robust public transit networks, and replacing massive parking lots with actually functional construction. You know, changes that get people out of their cars while still reaching the places they need to go, which in turn reduces traffic for emergency services and the people that decide they want to drive anyway.

First, I absolutely see people in wheelchairs on the light rail where I live, that's mostly a problem for cities where the rail system predates the ADA. Second, I'm very much not forgetting those people, partly because less traffic helps them as much as any driver, and even more because it's simply naive to imagine that the majority of people with disabilities are able to drive but not able to take a bus or train.

I have yet to see someone that doesn't hate everyone else's car, at least during traffic, meaning every driver either also hates their own car as well or they are a hypocrite.

Harry Potter, even ignoring how much of a piece of shit the author is the books just aren't particularly well thought out.

I prefer to call them anarcho-capitalists, the actual worst political philosophy out there in terms of long term consequences.

Call it the Department of Failure.

I never said it was a self-consistent philosophy, in fact that's a large part of why it's so awful.

For the record, I was able to uninstall it from my phone.

Never mind, I just checked the pull up menu and didn't see it so I just assumed it was uninstalled, but no it's just stopped.

"Common sense" is rarely all that common.

China wasn't running an embassy here.

I hold that view quite publicly and have recieved minimal disagreement.

Frankly I was under the impression they weren't invited, completely justifiably.

You're preaching to very much the wrong choir there.

Only problem I see with that plan is buying that much gas is just too expensive to be done.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

You are magnitudes more likely to be shot by your own gun, be it by yourself or a family member, than you are to need to use that gun against a home invader. Thus, it's significantly safer for you to keep your gun safely locked away where it can't hurt you rather than leaving it accessible to protect from the much lower risk of an attacker.

Every cent made is a fine I want to see more of. Anything less is going to be seen as just the cost of doing business and the behavior will continue.

Cool, I don't believe them.
