Trucks.

Why do you hate cars? Like, do you literally just hate cars? Would you happily replace them with gas motorcycles pulling large undetachable trailers?

In rural areas you need a vehicle capable of carrying cargo or large items over bad terrain. An electric truck makes perfect sense, more than a gas truck, even, since they can be more reliable and need almost no consumables for long periods of time.

Having spent a fair amount of time in a farm growing up, walking works a lot of the time, and then you use a truck. Cars are not particularly useful, bicycles are minimally useful, you certainly won't be using buses or trains!

Truck sharing could be a thing in a small community, in particular with self driving to send it on its own.

Basically, what are you trying to accomplish?

I designed a totally decentralized messaging system with end to end encryption including groups, but you wouldn't know it because it is hosted on Canadian servers.

Meme aside, I didn't implement it or anything, but the basic idea is simple, I don't know why the fediverse tied accounts to domains, it wasn't necessary.

Here's a secret, native speakers make mistakes too. Some of them are so bad it's literally painful to read what they write.

Nice rant. I was born and raised in a "third world country" with better transportation than the US despite much lower density. In fact it would rank just under Oregon, so 39 stated are more dense than my country.

California does not have good public transportation, neither does a lot of the East Coast, for that matter. I have lived on both coasts and the Midwest, and visited over 35 states. Public transportation is mostly crap with a few exceptions in the core of a few Metro areas, and the NE.

Public transportation advocates want more than to add buses and trains, you are misrepresenting what we ask for.

You didn't really answer the question. What do you think prison should be like? And what do you think prison should be for?

Right now in the US it's slave labor for corporations and suppression of certain demographics. The US is dystopian, I'm currently in a "third world country" and when I describe life in the US people are appalled.

Why do you think it's reasonable?

How about pay reasonably and don't require people to do the work? I find it insane that Americans defend slave labor.

What was invented was unemployment and underemployment, both of which are unnecessary.

It's kind of funny how you are wrong in every way.

  • Union workers earn 20% more.
  • You shouldn't work while injured. Worker's comp is a thing.
  • You pay a dime to get a dollar.
  • It's not abuse to take sick time, but you already stated people should work injured.

Thank unions.

Most tankies I have encountered are clueless Americans who haven't lived under a dictatorship, they would vote for the leopards who eat faces if they had a chance.

The side car says this community is about technology news. I don't think they should list everything it's not, but maybe clarify if news about the tech industry are wanted or not.

Thank you, that guy is so bigoted he didn't realize I was calling him out.
