I cannot explain otherwise how so many people can nearly hit a vulnerable road user at like 20kph and then be mad when those people are quite irate they nearly just got hospitalized. Like yeah this'd be a nuisance if I was in a car, but I'm not.

Anyways give everyone not in a car a gun so they can retaliate. You may not hit the car, you may shoot periliously close, though.

i know thisll just come off as a flippant hexbear take to libs but what if we legally removed peoples ability to own a car when they go around killing people and almost killing people with their cars

This and also what if we legally removed people's ability to own a car unless they demonstrated a specific and pressing need for one

I'm okay with owning a car for recreation but only if they're restricted to designated race tracks and have to be stored at said race tracks, although at that point it might make more sense to form racer clubs that own the cars communally with each enthusiast pitching in for maintenance/other costs

By design thats basically everyone not in like specific parts of like 5 cities

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Commuting does not count as a specific and pressing need

We don’t think talk enough about how crossing the street is basically like entering a war zone in most US cities

Just one of the many conversations we swept under the rug in all mainstream political dialogue

Tom Walker's GTA streams are actually just real life

I know I almost put you in the hospital with thousands in medical bills that you can't afford and possibly lifelong pain and suffering but did you consider you almost scratched my paint?

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

I just did a simple oopsie and now you're verbally abusing me and it's making me scared :(

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

I think I should be allowed to shoot the car.

[–] Tom742@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Assassination attempts in burgerland should just be crosswalk vehicular homicide. Everyone is primed to accept it as inevitable, and the legal system insulates you from consequences.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

People of the strata where murder becomes assassination don't walk in amerikkka

[–] ComradeWizardmon@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

In my experience people treat you a little better when they actually hit you. Tho I've only actually been hit once.

Much better than the "pretty please don't murder me" flags
