I just want busses. That tears up nothing.

I just want bollards protecting pedestrian and bike traffic. That tears up nothing.

I want passenger trains between cities where there's already railing. That tears up nothing.

Is this honestly a bigger ask than a decade long rebuild of an interstate that will need another widening in 5 years after?

I actually said they're a net negative and I stand by that.

Lithium mining, their fixed short life spans, and the problems of car focused cities as a whole are not addressed by going all EV. Marginally better than combustion? Sure. I'll give you that.

But ultimately its manufacturing and the lack of repair ability make it bad over all.

That's true. I'm young ish and fully vaccinated so I've got a lot of years on humans from most of history.

Jesus would probably get on my nerves.

He never called people by their names and gave them weird nicknames and spoke in riddles like a guy who fried his brain on weed and LSD in college during an ethics class.

My family name is pretty uncommon outside of mexico and when you googled my dads name the top result used to he an obituary of another man with the same name, birthday, same KIDS name, same time served in the army, and same job as a truck driver.

Only difference is he was from southern California.

Also turns out we were kin as my great grand father was addicted to traveling the country and making babies.

Gods, this is how I sell public transit to pro car people.

I am traffic. I want to be off the road and in a bus.

I just don't want my bus ride to be over an hour and a half long when the car ride is 10 minutes.

I'll settle for a bike commute because that's 30 minutes but it would require riding down a major road where the only thing protecting me from a car going 60 MPH is a painted white line and trust.

For all of human history, labor has always been a productive skill.

I can do labor in any era.

I do think there's a debate to be had as to if were in a "better place" then if Clinton had won

If she had won, we wouldn't be better off relative to 2015. We would have been in the same shit we were in 10 years ago with a housing crisis on the rise and COVID would have still happened and probably wouldn't have gone too radically differently.

Wed still have increased income inequality and we saw under Biden that the main Liberal answer to climate change is Electric Cars which net doesn't help and in fact worsens our e-waste issue.

Obviously, I don't know this is how it would have gone for sure, but the democrats really haven't given me much to believe in.

So would we have been "better off" with a dem successor compared to the 2015 status quo? No I don't think so and I think we all knew that and it doesn't inspire people to vote or participate in elections.

Would we have been better off to what we got? Yeah probably. But that's stuff we didn't completely know until hindsight kicked in. I think we all assumed he'd be a lame president and not a modern Commodus or Nero.

Now, I don't subscribe to acceleration ist views, but there is that view point as well.

Under that ideology, we are better off compared to a Clinton or Harris win because they would have subdued the flakier radical elements in society longer.

Trump being president and his flagrant disregard for our status quo system is a massive stepping stone towards a revolution of some sort to hopefully fix the problems of our 2015 society plus the additional inflated issues by Trump.

I want to believe we could have a woman president so long as she ran on something other than being a wet noodle that's trying to be #relatable more than just being a good candidate.

Or better yet, running on something more than

"Are you really gonna let Trump win?"

Bro's gonna signal the bombers on his location.

He's gonna lose the fight, but the city block gon' lose it too!

For me it was that I have a very open and casual relationship with enjoying human bodies. Yeah I think its beautiful, yeah it makes me a little horny, no I'm not ashamed that I'm attracted to and supportive of tasteful nudity on the internet.

But the honest answer is that most men are lazy and a bit crass.

I was not going to buy a gabencube but now I might.

Do it

This is certainly interesting as fuck

So you're a god in a 40,000 person polycule?

And its one sided so they don't even fuck each other. But this one taken person was the only one you wanted to breed with?

Honestly, pretty convincing god lore

Actually I needed it. Dunno why, but I didn't realize anything was red.

I can see how you'd struggle to find youtubers who aren't sucking Musks toes if you're watching AI news people and Russell Brand.

But trust me, choosing to simply consume content that isn't so negative is the quickest way to find rational people.

I personally really like Alex O'Connor right now. He does a lot of engagement with religious and philosophical type people. He's an atheist who's just genuinely trying to understand.

Not specifically. I just remember how much Thunderf00t made me an angry atheist for a time and how unpleasant that was mentally.

Looks like he's on a hyper Musk hate train now. Which while based I'm sure his content is still very toxic to consume.

And I don't wish that on anyone.

I think a real hobby would help with your mental health...

I'm a simple and slightly horny man.

I see Titties and psychedelic rock, I listen.

Damn. The double whammy of "things someone into guns on Lemmy won't like"

Brandon Herrera AND Forgotten weapons

Shame too. I quite like engineering. But fascists also like it.
