Alcohol. I cannot abide the taste (or aftereffects) of alcoholic drinks, that shit ruins everything

At that point you might as well just do it yourself tbh

I came in here expecting people would want rightwingers and fascists banned. Instead a bunch of y’all are here just going “I block out anything that’s not fun!!!1!!1!1! I don’t want to be reminded of the very real issues that plague the world!!” which I mean, you have every right to do that I guess. Good for you, enjoy your hole in the sand

taking a wireless phone call via an earbud isn’t illegal.

I don’t know why you’re so hell bent on defending someone driving distracted but where she is and where I am it absolutely is illegal

Do you guys remember that before Bluetooth cars, headphones were the only way to drive and take a phone call without getting a ticket

Absolutely. Speakerphones were never a thing, and phone manufacturers never made wired accessories or aux cables to connect to your car stereo.

someone could have hit her car and the mirrors broke

True. Broken mirrors look exactly like they’ve been neatly tucked in.

If you can hear sirens, car horns and whatever else you need

That “if” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting. Also it’s technically illegal in India, where this was taken

Removed by mod

No the fuck it isn’t

So those mirrors would have been literally smacking into throngs of pedestrians on all sides if they weren’t folded.

Well no. Even here in India we tend not to drive straight into throngs of pedestrians, nor do said pedestrians throng in the middle of the road. It’s just flat out irresponsible to drive with folded mirrors – even more than you’d think considering how horribly people drive/ride motorbikes here

In a community about the problems that cars pose, we don’t give people a pass for being careless simply based on how shitty their car may be.

(Also this photo was taken in India. That woman is richer than 80% of the population based solely on the fact that she owns a car)

Weak. There’s plenty of very real Viking metal (and rap) to listen to while working out

Not American. We did have a (rudimentary) section on reproductive anatomy in high school biology, but it didn’t really go through the full process of pregnancy, childbirth, and the physiological effect it has on the body.

Oh, and the teachers skipped it completely in biology class because they didn’t want to deal with a class full of teenagers snickering their way through it, I guess. We were told to just read the textbook.

“There’s not gonna be jobs in the future” does not lead to “eternally bored” in a capitalist dystopia like the one we’re turning the world into. Being bored is a luxury, and a staggering percentage of kids being born today will not have that luxury (and indeed, may well end up as cannon fodder often for no fault of their own) in the future we’re crafting for them.

Welcome, enlightened centrist.

I think we could all benefit from it.

Except said friends of parents or distant aunt who now have even less time than before.

I don’t have kids because I don’t want any.

I’m childfree for the same reasons. That you and I choose to do this in a society that is still deeply tilted towards having children and raising a family, and offers many benefits – spoken and unspoken – for being so, is in itself an act of protest. That you and I can choose to do this without facing immediate, devastating, life-changing consequences is in itself the result of many acts of protest before we came along.

Everything is political, including the personal. Granted this is one of the much quieter, slower forms of revolution against the status quo, but it is one nonetheless.

Imagine if they were Satanist

We’d be a hell of a lot better off, considering levelheadedness and rationalism are central tenets of Satanism

kids have plenty of places to play

Like where? Where’s the nearest public access park or football pitch or playground that a kid can wander into any time of day to play with their friends?

No. LMAO! I don’t.

I wasn’t quite expecting you to just come out and admit it but thank you for your honesty. Saves the rest of us a lot of time in trying to decide whether you should be taken seriously

You open the garage door before you rev your engine, do you understand?
