Claims that autonomous vehicles present a deus ex machina that would liberate Americans from deadly collisions—claims that the industry has made for years—should be treated as the self-serving deceptions that they are.
Unlike more realistic road-safety strategies like slowing down urban traffic, self-driving technology does not threaten the primacy of the automobile in American life …. In fact, overhyping the safety benefits of self-driving cars allows the auto industry to concurrently fulfill two key objectives: It positions car companies as a solution to a American safety crisis they themselves helped create, and it serves as a distraction from proven tactics (like road diets or transit expansions) that make their cars and tech less useful in urban areas.
In case you’re wondering, this is an example of what a road diet looks like:

Even though it’s slow results, you’re still going to get there and make it. Don’t give up just because you don’t see a city, you first need to build the roads.

Dumb confession: DadTorino is so underrated, like yeah Torino sucks at it but I want someone being a Dad for Toshinori, he needs a family!
Tumblr media
dad torino has the potential to be so good because at least prior to that terrible third year at u.a., the dynamic could be toshinori bullying/conning gran torino into letting him take liberties (like riding his shoulders or skipping paperwork), and gran torino acting grouchy but wanting nana's successor to like him (presumably he's the funny man in a comedy duo).
//
toshinori: so when did your hair go gray?
gran torino: the day I met your 'oshishou.'

Like as a biomedical scientist this literally just makes sense. Our bodies evolved to hold on to any calories we could get cus starvation was a common problem in early human evolutionary history. Our bodies are genetically programmed to not want to lose weight and be happier gaining it - especially after times of starvation. Being able to hang on to calories via body fat has been a massive factor in our evolutionary success.
And our modern human bodies simply cannot tell the difference between starvation by not having enough food available, and starvation by deliberate deprivation. Your body cannot tell the difference. All it knows is that it is getting less nutrients than it needs, which means it will create things like cravings for high-calorie foods and an amped-up fat storage system. It's normal. It's natural. It's what your body is supposed to do.
Dieting doesn't make you healthier and it doesn't make you thinner. Chances are the moment you break your diet, you'll gain everything back and then some. Yoyo dieting is bad for your body and your mental health, especially if you're already suffering from poor self esteem due to your weight. "Failing" your diet (ie your body doing literally just what it has evolved to do) is not going to be good for you in any way and lead only to guilt and shame and further dieting attempts, which will damage your body and mind further.
It just makes SENSE. From a biological view, an anatomical view and an evolutionary view. Starving yourself puts pressure on the body, which the body is programmed to counteract.
Fat isn't bad or inherently unhealthy. Our cultural obsession with thinness has been deliberately planted by life/health insurance and fashion industries. And massively reinforced by a $$$billion weight loss industry. Dieting does nothing other than make some rich asshole more money, and wreck your body for no good reason. If you look at the science or have even a basic understanding of how the body works, you'll see this as well.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk and please read Big Fat Lies by Dr Gaesser.

Favourite phase to watch folk go through is when they work out for like one week, start acting like a fitness influencer on their socials, then lose interest when the novelty wears off and never do so much as a single squat again.

We’re grazing before we get back on the road. Well, Arlo is. Okay I admittedly did bite one piece of grass to see if I could taste chemicals before I let him eat it…….. but it was just one bite I swear 😂

#Spotify#music for when you’re driving to ace hardware to buy mousetraps so you can kick out that mouse like Nick Cave says#and when you get there you give him your best friend’s phone number bc you unfortunately have it memorized and he goes to ace hardware all#the time for work#and the guy on the register squints at you and confirms the very male name on the screen#and you resist the urge to squeak out an excuse and just confirm#and then you stop by aldi on the way back and buy two tubs of Greek yogurt and two bottles of synergy kombucha#bc even though you brew your own and actually have way more than you could possibly handle rn bc it’s so hot in your house#you are a sucker for limited edition flavors and it will cause you to spend $8 on kombucha#so you buy pomelo lemonade and cherry coconut lemongrass#which is the summer flavor named unity or something#and you usually get one every year#but you still feel ridiculous walking out of aldi with two tubs of yogurt and two bottles of kombucha and nothing else even though no one#you know sees you even though west ********* is crawling with acquaintances#and then you get back in your car and you’re proud of the rare burst of executive function which allowed you to finally put the new battery#in your car keys even though you stole the battery from target like two months ago you just couldn’t figure out how to open the damn thing#and the convenience is novel and you think wow maybe I should injure my ribcage more often if it’s forcing me to take care of all these#tiny tasks like buying mousetraps and replacing your key battery and cooking figs in honey et cetera#and you drive down the hill and see low clouds snagging in the blue ridge mountains and feel alright for a moment#and go to the scratch and dent where you buy butter and a couple 33¢ seltzers and a diet ginger ale as a lil treat#and when you get back home you drop it on the gravel road and the ginger ale begins to leak out so you put your mouth to it even though the#thought of what nonsense is on the outside of the can from the manufacturing and shipping process lingers#and by the time you get to the kitchen and pour it over ice in a mason jar it’s fairly flat from the burst of bubbles when you poured it#awkwardly with one hand#and you drink what remains on the porch where it’s a post-rain subdued sky sort of dusk#and you think about how much it’s gonna hurt to leave and how you have no other option because of how entwined you’ve become with someone#who is the entire city and the entire vast forest and possibly the entire ecological region#and then you’re still hungry so you eat some meal prepped overnight oats that were for tomorrow morning. the end#journal
