good for you. the one you're replying to doesn't.

also I'd wager there's some non-renewable energy being used when you charge either at home or away, and even then, motoring for fun is releasing tons of other shit (particulates from your tires) - maybe time to find a new 'hobby'

transportation as entertainment.... what a world

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know what world you live in, where all your hobbies are so perfect that they don't have any adverse effects at all to the world at large.

But God forbid, someone enjoys something you don't.

You could extend that holier-than-thou attitude to your hobby of posting on the Internet from a device that releases tons of other shit from its manufacturing process and the electricity that powers it - maybe time to find a new 'hobby'

Transportation as entertainment? Yes. Have you ridden a rollercoaster or even a bike?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Have you ridden a rollercoaster

what a fantastic strawman argument. gonna ignore the rest of the weak shit, but this is fucking hilarious. you really are that stupid?

and guess what, my bike doesn't run on fucking gasoline you dolt.

holier than you is easy with that kind of bullshit attitude.

get fucked with the rest and join the blocked asshole club.

you can be the secretary!

For sure. Given that public roads are the most horrendously undertaxed public resources out there, it’s especially irritating when folks go out of their way to use them in the most self serving fashion imaginable.

Private tracks exist. They don’t mind engine noise.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

I could get behind this. And let's be honest, half of them are just living out their child choo choo fantasies, we can let them have the funny hat and be 'conductors'. they just have to fund their own bullshit and remediation for same.

  1. Not everyone can afford an electric car 2. Harassing individuals has been identified as counter productive over and over again. Maybe try to help the climate crisis by holding the corporations actually responsible for the issue accountable instead of alienating potential allies and giving the movement an overall insufferable vibe.

  1. Not everyone can afford an electric car

if they can afford to modify their car for shittier performance in order to be louder, then their ability to afford an ev is moot. they'd rig it to spew some other pollutant.

  1. strawman bullshit

I'm not harassing anyone. Harassing them would be throwing dogshit on their pavement princess jacked up 4x4 bullshit. harassment would be caltrops in their driveway so they can focus on revving it in their driveway for a few more weekends.

Get it through your skull: Calling people out on their admitted bullshit, when IT'S LITERALLY KILLING THE ONLY ATMOSPHERE WE HAVE, is not harassment

RE: CORPS - WHY NOT BOTH?

Why let individuals off for their wretched decisions when they KNEW and were repeatedly informed what they were doing was disgusting, inefficient, counterproductive, it's shit neighbor, it scares kids and animals, fuck why can't they ever be fucking blamed for the STUPID DECISIONS THEY MAKE?

Because I can juggle both those concepts in my head, it's pretty straightforward even. Give it a go.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You need to put this rage in a place that will be more productive.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

buy me an atmosphere free of your bullshit and I'll consider it posthaste.

oh, wait

you can't.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bro we're not Exxon, figure it out.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you're not a petrochemical company you just fuck up your rides to give the petrochemical companies MORE FUCKING MONEY.

you're not a petrochemical company you just don't care enough about your kids to do the right thing.

you're not a petrochemical company you can't be held responsible for your stupid fucking choices?

yeah, you're not a petrochemical company, but I suspect you spent way too much time around leaded fuel to have the brainpower to know utter stupidity from simple common decency.

bro, figure it out for fucks sake

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah so if you scroll up a bit, you'll see that I didn't say anything about a car. I was speaking on how much negative energy you're throwing at internet strangers for comparatively inconsequential shit.

You seriously need to evaluate why you're speaking to me and others like this. We're not your enemies, but unfortunately we're also not your friends because you can't win anyone over talking to them like this.

You're making it easier for these companies to fuck us over because you're directing all of your anger and resentment to us to divide, when you could unite and overcome it. Those emotions can be useful, but they aren't like this.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You seriously need to evaluate why you’re speaking to me and others like this.

seriously?

forreal bro?

I'm making it easier for these companies, not the fuckwits buying gasoline then running it through shitmod shitwagons huh?

you're a concern troll or intellectually challenged. keep your analysis of my emotions for your own uses, I give zero fucks. hold on, let me throw more negative energy at you, wub wub wub wub

blocking.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

"I give zero fucks" but also, I get sensitive when someone points out my shitty behavior, I give so much of a fuck about it I'm going to block them instead feeling like they might be right.

When you change the world by yourself by being rude to people online, please do let me know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can't block everyone.

Also, you're an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I just want to know where it comes from holy shit lol I feel like I'm losing my mind talking with people like this until someone else comes along to witness it with me.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

have some negative vibes too. wub wuuuub.

Petroheads aren't going to be convinced through love and good vibes. The vroom vroom idiots are putting your kids lives in danger, if you had half a brain you'd be incandescently angry.

But sure good luck with the hugs and love, it's worked great for 40 years. Pfft. I might be an asshole, but you're a chump.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Oh, you're just a troll, or a very poorly written bot.

This is way too obnoxious, out of touch, and ignorant to be a real person.

You can't block everyone, but everyone can block you.

rude people who talk over others just need to be ignored. if they continue, put them in their place with a look, a raised eyebrow, roll the eyes and then go back to the person you were actually addressing. it's childish and should be pointed out if it continues.

Sounds like you need to be ignored and put in your place.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 22 hours ago

that's so cute.

get blocked lol.
