Oh fuck those old wedge bolts, lol

Well, automobiles at least, lol. Road's kind of an old idea, eh

Oh the ship has sailed, but said dude was pushing this idea when roads and automobiles were a relatively new thing

The wild part is, the stepvans have wayy more visibility than a modern car. Like you can actually see your bumper and what it might run into. Taking time to learn the ends of your vehicle is important, but when you can't see shit anyway, what's the point?

I understand, crumple zones and shit require bigger a-frames, but I'd rather be surrounded by more competent drivers than crumple zones.

I recall hearing about some guy who was pushing for graded licenses and roads, and if you didn't qualify as skilled for that road, you couldn't drive there. It wasn't a simple 'this is harder, this is easier', either. Tight-in low-speed city roads were a certain classification. Highways were another, twisties were another, and so on.

I fervently wish that'd taken hold, along with a vehicle classification to match. Mopeds and scooters in the city? Easy! Stepvan in the city? Hard! Modern 'pickup' in the city? Fuck no!

I dabble with blacksmithing. I'd take it in a heartbeat

Fuck, real people can't do that

The concept of conspiracy theories as you understand it is a ruse, a misinformation tool.

Look up mk ultra, and some of the other shit the cia has actually gotten up to.

Or hemmingway, being paranoid and crazy. Ah, turns out they were following him and fucking with him, even inside the loony bin!

Nowadays you get qanon and other obviously stupid bullshit rolled under the conspiracy theory label, and that's the fucking point

So sinclair, the one company that runs basically all major news outlets in the US, can discredit anything with one turn of phrase.

So like yeah, you're kinda right. But there is real, fucked up shit that gets swept under that label, and ignored at large because of it.

Jesus, we were paying $55 an eighth in utah when it was illegal.

Plus all the fuckery, convictions, probation, and etcetera

Wow, rockstar is a whiny bitch.

So you're saying you Want your experience here to be dominated by ads, lies, and propaganda?

Aw, what? They had a more butthole policy?

Damn

Ahhh.... i suck at computers. Nowadays anyway.

But FOSS generally has the tech nerd I wish I was going over it, finding and squawking loudly about vulnerabilities, instead of quietly writing backdoors in.

No, it's not as stable and easy out of the box, but it's less likely to turn you into ICE because your name is half mexican
