what the fuck

god, no. 'nother fun fact: the aforementioned legislative logic is straigt up what the nazis implemented to facilitate more car traffic.

Yet I whenever I point out shit’s never going to meaningfully improve if the core logic isn’t adressed I still come of like gods strongest turbocrank, even to other activists. I think the most radical demand that has any organized capacity behind it is that towns get an exception written into the federal laws that they can decide 30kph limits within city bounds at will instead of having to make a legal case for it

You can sue against traffic signs here. The reason is that the legal logic presumes every road is either 50kph (inside town) or 100kph (outside town) - barring the autobahn, obviously. That’s the max limit.

Anything lower than that is an infringement of your rights to drive your cat at 50 / 100kph. As such, you can sue the responsible government entity for putting up the sign.

As noted above, most speed signs and nearly all of them outside of town can only be put in place because a lot of people already crashed there. There’s very little wiggle room in the law to put up a sign as a preventive measure, unless things already happened, and basically zilch of that for deer crossings, only exceptions would be things like declaring a 70kph limit infront of a school or nursing home.

Here’s a fun one: There was a section of autobahn, standardly at unlimited speed, that had a max speed of 120kph put in, because people kept crashing there. A few years, just about a year ago from now, the signs were removed because there weren’t sufficient crashes to justify having them anymore. Immediatly, crash numbers shot way the hell up.

iirc you aren’t in the US, but at least here the deer crossing signs are actually bullshit lol (in that deer will cross most anywhere, not just the 1-2 mile stretches indicated by the signs)

For a speed limiting sign to be even put up here people have to have crashed and gotten hurt like, a lot. Otherwise the first person to sue against it, which inevitably happens because my right to kill myself running into woodland creatures is attacked, would get them taken down.

Every deer crossing speed limit is quite literally written in blood. They wouldn’t be there if nothing happend.

Nearly everyone I know who hit a deer on rural roads has ignored the lowered speed limits and the warning signs about deer crossings on some notion of conspiracy that it’s a government plot to get people to drive slower because the government hates cars and then they get really mad at the deer

Why would I not want an enlarged liver? I got more liver now, it works more!

This is jacobfuckingjones and if I had to describe his series of videos about drinking and smoking in public on a weekday afternoon I’d say it’s sort of a post-ironic thing. It’s very clear there’s like a wink in there, but OTOH it’s just a guy basically vlogging and giving a cigarette review (latter which he takes very seriously, dudes’s god’s strongest cigarette connoisseur basically).

It’s kind of entertaining, truth be told.

Do any spaces like that exist? Is it even possible given the way gender works in society?

I think you can find cishet men that be like this but under no circumstances would you ever find an intentional community of explicitly cishet men doing this.

I am in my mid thirties and every pope within my lifetime has been the woke Pope and it has never been true, I’m not falling for this shit and neither should anybody else

awarding steve-o the “one guy (?) I wouldn’t put it past” award here, no matter how problematic

And I’d believe you, I don’t think nobody helps others out of the good of their heart or whatever. Those people exist, loads of them are here.

I’m saying, when you get into generational views, it might not hold up for a large amount for them.

I do not get this comment, could you be more direct?

Material conditions or alternatively, were they ever that cool?

I have a theory that for many people, the youth-leftist thing isn’t based in solidarity or whatever, it’s based in self-interest - across generations. Makes sense to be a socialist, when you’re poor, and all. As the survivors gain their riches, they get more conservative - they have property to “defend” now. They were always self-serving people, it’s just they were occasionally in a position where that meant to be vaguely left.

I don’t think judging a generation by those who survived is fair. The cool people tend to die earlier

I don’t really, not anymore. It’s a hierarchy that’s supposed to be defended to these people, doesn’t really matter how they got there. It’s not even hypocritical, on their terms, to think this. I have my place here, which was bestowed upon me, and the lessers may not get there is entirely consistent, if fucking garbage.

Yeah, he’s kinda right in that he just wouldn’t be the same person at all. The soul stuff is bullshit but

It contradicts his entire point though. Like the whole idea is that each haitian is just individually bad. If you wanna go for that line, you gotta claim that if you were one of them, you’d be fucking balling. Or you’re a failson, lifted only by those around you, but I don’t think that’s going to happen

It’s fun how everytime I learn about a new climate catastrophe I assume it’s like crop failure and then it turns out it’s “city wide sinkhole, to not do crop failure”

what’s your problem with gamers

why would it be horses. horses have never been proletarian transportation
