I think we could find viable ways to engineer something workable without completely tearing everything down, we just have to work smarter. And get rich people to pay taxes.

How do you propose policing all the drivers without license and insurance? We are already way overpoliced, with horrific results. How would you propose bad drivers get to work and do necessary living activities? I think we need to look for inclusive, compassionate solutions, rather than more punitive, exclusionary solutions.

That seems like a bandaid for a tourniquet problem. We need to address causes, otherwise unlicensed, uninsured drivers will increase.

That’s right.

Well GM and Goodyear lobbied against public transit when they wanted everyone to buy a car, and probably still do , is why public transit is so awful.

Trollies?

Absolutely!

Yes, and it’s still not okay.

A Scanner Darkly

Gotta see what demographics are doing what so they can hoard power, wealth, status.

No sorry needed. Glad you didn’t take offense

They’re cutting phones off or not activating without them now in the USA, including e-SIM. And making noise about going cashless which is annoying since most convenience stores charge service fees to use a card, regardless of what you spend.

The article here recently about Mozilla testing cars was off the chain.

I’m wondering if they’d Jimmy Savile it. Yes, it.

Yes, I’m wondering how much pressure USA exerted do they could claim it’s nothing to do with them.

Personally, I don’t trust or use anything Meta because I very well recall what Zuck said when fb was still university only.

I’m wondering what, if any, effect this win have on the royals?

They may or not, but would it be just UK downloads when it’s easier and cheaper to do it across the platform?

I don’t look at toothbrush colors when I buy them, I look at bristles and firmness, and the size/shape . I do miss whatever brand used to put the rubber massaging picks on the other end.

I used to buy a particular Lithuanian product no longer available here. I need the rest of the story! Thanks. I’ll do some searching at some point.

That’s invasive af and I’m sorry you had to experience that.

No I haven’t, and that’s extremely alarming. Got a link handy?

I don’t know enough about Murena to speculate, let alone comment

Honestly? Because politicians and citizens alike would use it as a rallying cry, label it “European soshulist garbage.” Ffs, they even aoc and Bernie claim they’re socialists. They aren’t.

I had to search, and so it was! https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/5/23783714/murena-fairphone-4-us-release-date-price-sustainability-repair

It’s still currently not budgetable, but it’s closer! Thanks for great news!

I can hear consumers now, “ But I want muh planned obsolescence!”

We’ll probably never be allowed Fairphone in USA, which I’ve been eying since before launch. Curiosity got the better of me anyway; it’s still cheaper than iPhone https://eu.mobgsm.com/mobile/apple-iphone-14-pro-max-price-in-europe
