If you dig into the stats though, moto crashes are split about half and half into 2 categories:

A) Operator loses control, i.e. dumbass goes too fast and wipes out or hits something. The majority of riders cruising around don't do this to themselves, that half of the stats are mostly squids.

B) A negligent car driver hits the biker. Which of course can be mitigated by creating traffic calmed roads and dismantling the broader system of car dependency. Ez pz 🤷‍♂️

Gosh I wish motorcycles weren’t death machines they look so fun

How on earth did you manage to peamis a typo?

"peam is a typo" maybe to you. I wrote it that way on purpose

The US is orchestrating a different type of slave trade, in addition to the ones it already does

[comingsoon2aroadsideditchnearyou]

On top of this, OOP seems to be acting as if declining to call something Fascist means that you're not condemning it harshly enough. The USA founders were colonizers, slavers, and genocidaires, despite not being Fascists, and that should be insult enough!

I'd say that Fascist seems to be viewed as the ultimate dirty word in white culture because frankly, it's the form of subjugation that has historically hurt white people the most dramatically. But fascism is what imperial citizens call it when the empire colonizes its own core. Get rid of the idea that these things can be ranked by level of badness, and start looking at the system of domination as a whole.

are you people just addicted to not learning theory?

What's with the obsession of using whatever political terms you can, regardless of meaning, as rhetorical ways of just emphasising how Bad something is? Fascism does refer to a specific organisation of capitalism in specific conditions with specific characteristics, not just 'when something is bad and oppressive' - something liberalism is very capable of! - and using the terms this way absolutely annihilates the actually useful analytical and theoretical value of the term, in favour of a view of politics as entirely rhetoric (which is clear from the emphasis on whether the term existed at the time or not, rather than the actual material structure being critiqued, as if the term is just an especially effective rhetorical weapon)

That's some grade A perspective right there but it should also be perspectived that the safe amount of plastic to manufacture is zero. Not "however much we need for medical supplies", it's zilch. Because as it builds up in the environment, it doesn't break down on human time scales, and its health effects will just keep stacking up. Better figure out how to mass produce sanitary wax paper i guess?

also "ough life-saving essential medical equipment uses so much plastic" in this country you can purchase an artificial ballsack for your pickup truck

Note how in this argument, the importance of lived experience and material suffering is emphasized, but only for Israelis. The experience and suffering of the millions of people being starved and bombed to death doesn't count here. This continues the trend of Arab people's lives and wishes being discounted by zionists since the Nakba in Palestine, Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon started 76 years ago.

not sorry i’m going to listen to israelis over any diaspora jew when it comes to i/p when they’re the ones getting rockets thrown at them and are trying to rehabilitate from a literal pogrom.

i can’t comprehend that anyone would think that their opinion on the matter is more important or more correct than israelis lived experience. all they accomplish is fueling the ongoing fire that is demonizing israel. and i’m not referring to listening to israeli organizations.

i’m saying id rather speak to a literal israeli person who is affected by the war, which might i remind everyone is beyond gaza.

everyone seems to forget displaced israelis, many of which have lost everything. i’m going to listen to them. i’m going to listen to the israeli archeologist and the israeli defense expert. hell, i’ll listen to the israeli high schooler over a random diaspora jew adult. i’d much rather learn about how they’re doing from them.

idk i’ve been seeing too many diaspora acting like this war has a material affect on us. (and when i say material i mean im not israeli so the antisemitism i face in new york is very different from the antisemitism israelis face (which is terrorist groups attacking them)).

ok i’ll shut up now byeee

[comingsoon2aroadsideditchnearyou]

Take note of how Israeli apologists always believe that injustices of the past make it okay to murder enormous numbers of people in the present. This "two wrongs make a right attitude" is a sure sign that the person in question flunked their kindergarten level ethics class.

How old is the Jewish religion? How old is Islam? How old is “Palestine”? Which religion inhabited that area of the planet first?

You might want to learn what genocide actually is before posting the usual shite.

Pure carbrain propaganda. Jeff B*zos only mumbles to himself about the toupee, he doesn't actually ask people about it.

Profit is the passive income skimmed off the top by a capitalist, by using the power of their ownership to direct money. If workers own the producion and make money from it and keep it, that's just their income.

I fucking hate this "capitalism is when you make money, the more money you make, the more capitalism it is" mindset people have gotten. No, an artist selling their own work is not them engaging in capitalism, it's literally a worker owning their own means of production.

Remember capitalism is someone profiting off of someone else's labor though owning capital. It is not simply the act of profiting at all.

Lmao

highly recommend reading the full letter

[comingsoon2aroadsideditchnearyou]

also, a friendly reminder, the world we live in now consists of an active genocide.

of warcrimes being posted on twitter by the official account of israeli government.

of people looking at children, women and men being bombed, killed, starved and butchered and saying it is okay because of a single terrorist group, THAT ISRAEL CREATED.

of westerners saying to look away from the slaughter happening in gaza because your mental health is more important than thousands of lives.

of israeli politicians straight up using propaganda from nazi handbooks to dehumanise palestinians, calling them less than human, less than the rest of us, animals.

and what one palestinian man posted on his social media hit me more than anything: “if we actually were animals, people would care.”

WW2 was the start of the petroleum era, which means a shitload of energy to work with. Efficiency was no longer necessary in wealthy countries, so the question went from "How can we get more out of our resources" to "How much more can we get more get moregetmoregetmore?". Thrift goes out the window once you can snort a line of economic output directly into your brain hole.

I find it insane how we created the most efficient form of transport and then proceeded to switch it for the most inefficient form of transport, like, what happened did we all just collectively go into shock after WW2????

How to fix a suburb.

Step 1) build a transit line to a central location within it, one that people can walk to and from easily

Step 2) implement densification policies around the transit stop, such as infill housing, ADUs and low-rise apartments.

Step 3) allow for small businesses to open via mixed use construction, yard shops, and additional infill

There's also the fourth gender of the conductor in striped overalls and hat, comin' 'round the bend, seeing the commotion off in the distance and blowing the horn, face aghast as the plight of the TiedToTheTracksGender person suddenly dawns on them, frantically pulling levers as the brake blocks clamp down, waste steam diverts from the cylinders, but the train is too heavy, the wheels don't have enough traction, there's not enough time, there's not enough time, there's not enought, ime there'sno tenougtimethere'snotenou

me and my friends joke that there are 3 genders, being tied to train tracks, tying someone to train tracks, and freeing someone from the train tracks, and i really want to know @amtrak-official’s take on this

[comingsoon2aroadsideditchnearyou]

They're just salty I decided to get forcibly rendered into a soup-like homogenate by the rusted-out buick skylark down the block instead.

yes i go out of my way to drive safely around bicyclists, no i dont care about their human lives, i know the fucking perverts are desperately slavering to be slammed and crushed by the beautiful steel of an automobile, trembling and hot with death-drive that only the merciless fenders of my foreverially dealerplated altima can answer, and i simply refuse to give them release.
