September 2, 2023 - a San Francisco local disables a Cruise self-driving car. If you live in a place where Silicon Valley bullshit like driverless cars or autonomous delivery robots or doorbell cameras are becoming commonplace it might be a good idea to follow the example of this trendsetter and start carrying around a skimask and a hammer, just in case.

You do not need to advertise using the train to me. You do not need to encourage me to use public transport. I already want to. I am desperate.

You DO need to make it so that the train is not 3-5x as expensive as driving. You do need to make it so I can get to the train station without driving and paying a zillion quid for parking. You do need to make it so that trains arrive regularly and at sensible times with connections. You do need to make journeys not take 6 times as long. You do need to make them accessible for those with disabilities. You need to pay your staff and drivers.

I don't know how I can be clearer. LET ME GET THE BUS AND TRAIN.

“Supercars pollute too much and are too loud, they should be banned” there are less than 10 thousand supercars in the whole world, and I see one once every two or three months, if ever. However, I see one SUV every 10 seconds on the street and they’re never caked with dirt or mud like they should be, and are instead used like any regular sedan while being more polluting, way heavier, and consuming significantly more fuel with their gigantic engines. and there are millions of them. in this essay I will

jesusfuck driving is exhausting. not even approaching this from an anti-car lens, just an "i'm autistic and i find the amount of processing power needed to drive for long periods of time exhausting". it really makes me appreciate walking and how positively stimulating it is to just be able to look up at the fucking clouds rather then constantly having to think "too much acceleration, too little acceleration, blinker, turn, red light, slow down gradually, DOG!"

i think being able to look up at the clouds when in motion is a human right actually and we need public transport so i guess this is an anti-car post after all

Reminds me of the french discussion about money in the 80-90. I remember some famour dude going "Well, I like money. I like having a good steak, a smoke and a nice car !" And that's exactly how he was missing the point !

Having to rely on money to have a meaningfull life IS the problem. The corruption that occurs when people have to have money to live IS the problem. Not you understanding it first degree and wanting some to get around !

What the world would be if we collectively questionned the frame of our lives rather than discussing the way we are forced to go about to have a life worth living. Because the frame is what makes you want money, a car, more hours of work, etc.

The anti-car culture on this website is so fucking annoying. Like, sorry I want to be able to get around without having to spend two hours taking three buses. Sorry I want to be able to go grocery shopping in the winter without having to lug heavy bags home through the snow on a fucking bike

Anthro Au Survivor drafts feat. too much worldbuilding because I cant just put pants on a slugcat like a normal person & my godawful handwriting

The Survivor (Their full, scavenger-given name includes the 'The') was separated from their family while traveling between colonies and stranded in the dangerous unpopulated wilds. Against all odds they managed to survive (and wander) far longer than they should have been able, but rather than reconnecting with their (or another) slugcat family, they instead made contact with one of the many wandering scavenger troops- But unfortunately not one that had ever met a slugcat nor had any idea what to make of a stranded one. Regardless the group gave it their best, ended up committing to the role of slugparents, and The Survivor and their troop still consider themselves close family long after Survivor finally reconnected with their sibling. (They're a bit of a mess though, understandably)

This is just a small part of why I will never get in a self-driving car. Tesla is taking obscene amounts of money from those who buy their cars, just to turn around and have those very same Tesla owners be their mass guinea-pigs. This tech is not cool, it is dangerous, and Elon Musk does not care about you.

Things like this do not get fixed under capitalism until they are legislated, and as the saying goes, "safety regulations are written in blood."

Please let it not be yours, say no to self-driving cars.

The fact that Tesla autopilots abort self driving 1 second before a crash so the company can state “self driving wasn’t active during the collision” should be grounds to dismantle the entire company.

Like, seriously, if you’re making 4000 pound death machines, and you program this shit to work on a technicality? Your company should be dismantled. Gone. No recourse. Just terrible shit dude
