You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

An MMO I play just started their yearly Halloween festival in-game. There's a dungeon/zone where you roam around an area in groups of players, and the area is filled with enemies and occasionally floating ghostly doors that, when you interact with them, monsters appear and drop candy.
I played some of that for about half an hour earlier when I realized that the whole idea of trick or treating is.... Not really a thing anymore. And that's weird to think about. Because somehow, the event of Halloween is now basically entirely about the candy getting? Like, they eliminated the door-to-door at night thing. So now it's basically a car show with kids getting candy?
As I stood there, in-game, knocking on doors and trick-or-treating and fighting mummies, spiders, and ghouls, I was just so confused how they took the traditional aspect of a weird and quirky but harmless and fun holiday away in favor of......... just candy.
Like.... No more spooky, no more pranks, no more mischief. Just "here's your cheapass candy". Maybe I need to go to one of these to understand it or something, because I can't imagine it.
Like nightmare before Christmas but everybody's a lobotomized eunuch.
Well in the US nowadays, People will shoot you for ringing their door bell. It's all the freedom, you know?
