If the browser itself could check those fragments though… 🤔

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Anytime you all want to go back to making your own websites

Anytime

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Then purchase a hosting service. Off-shore VPSes are pretty cheap, and they take Bitcoin. Even fucking Paypal uses Bitcoin nowadays. Only hurdle in your way is you.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Then start building community ISPs that allow for individuals to have their own IPs again.

If you want to solve the problem, you have work to do.

Or you can sit around and complain like you’re trying to justify and defend doing, and live without access to ad free quality videos. Your choice.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Then start convincing people to use it.

The only one who is going to be hurt by you constantly making excuses is you. No matter what hurdles you face, you have to overcome them, even if you have to build your own separate network from scratch, or you’ll never be free from the yoke of corporations and more importantly for you, you’ll never be free of the blame.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Lol yeah, who would want their own personal vehicle they can use to go where they want and on what route they want without having to share with total strangers who can and will hurt you when you can ride the filthy, bedbug-ridden, urine-soaked train next to the crazy homeless guy jacking off right in front of you?

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Because China doesn’t exist or anything. Or Russia, or Australia.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Is anyone seriously denying the U.S. is a repressive country or that it’s status as one is really relevant?

Is Australia a repressive country?

Isn’t most of the global south repressive despite the fact that they’re walkable by necessity?

Or are you just here to pick a fight because you want to live in Paris but can never afford to with your shitty McDonald’s wages?

pinkdrunkenelephants,

How do disabled people who can’t walk far get their groceries then? 🤔

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Lol sure you were, and that’s why you were talking to me and not OP 😆

I know you think asking people if they want a Royale with Cheese on a shitty burning microphone is a decent career, but it’s not. Now get me my McFlurry and don’t you dare try to pull that “the machine’s broken” crap on me. You just don’t want to clean it.

Thinking anyone who has ever seen violence on a bus or a train gives a shit

Thinking women in third world countries who are sexually harassed on public transport should just put up with it to make you happy

Thinking “enlightened, developed” aka white countries are free of violence simply because they are in line with what you want

You’re not going to sway anyone into giving up their autonomy just because you don’t like the way they live. If you’re so butthurt about it, why wouldn’t you just band together with the other NPCs, put a pot of money together, buy a shitload of land out in the boonies, incorporate it into a separate county and just build a walkable city of your own?

But you won’t, because you’re too lazy, selfish, and lack initiative, and that’s why you’ll never get the world you want.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

And that really worries me. The government should offer free options for people like that. Uber Eats and Instacart exploits the hell out of people like that.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

No one said it was.

See, I knew one of you motherfuckers was going to come in here and make it obvious you just don’t care about the actual facts, you’ve already made up your minds and seek to make up everyone else’s minds for them.

Maybe instead of treating every single discussion of anything like an epic shitfight, you all should just pool your money together, buy your own land, incorporate it as a separate county, and build your own walkable cities and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Because you all are doing nothing but demonstrating for us once again the negativity and childish banality of the human condition, and I’m tired of it.

The immaturity, the short-sightedness, the complete lack of empathy or consideration for anyone who disagrees with you – you all are attacking people, not just me, who are calling out walkable cities for being unviable for disabled people. One stupid motherfucker here even suggested people like that use delivery services to get their groceries instead of being able to drive, knowing Instacart and Uber Eats exploits the disabled and isn’t available everywhere. No consideration that it’s unfair for disabled people who can’t walk far regardless. No consideration that what you want isn’t completely viable because different people with different needs exist, nothing.

Y’all are just angry other people are opposing you because you think us chucklefucks online disagreeing with you is a barrier to what you want and I’m tired of putting up with it.

So until you change, I’m going to be angry at you, and if you don’t like me being angry at you for your own behavior, that’s a you problem. I don’t need you to listen to me or even like me, but you apparently need my approval for your stupid policies and ill-thought-out ideas, and therefore you need me a whole lot more than I need you. The only one hurt by my anger is you. You’re the one complaining about it.

You’re fucking political parasites and I’m tired of it.

Now let’s watch your dumb ass prove my point and do nothing but address my anger and my emotions while not addressing the needs of the disabled people who would be thrown under the bus with car bans at all. 🙄

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Most major cities with extensive public transport have these problems. You’re the one living in denial. And denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

So in other words, disabled people still need cars – they can’t ride bikes or e-bikes and scooters are too small for them – and you didn’t think about what you’re saying.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

And here’s stupid motherfucker number 1 coming down the hall and up to the stage to prove my point.

This isn’t a conversation about your feelings or mine, this is a discussion about the viability of walkable cities for the disabled. And they’re not viable for people like that and never truly can be, not without cars. So unless you assume every resident is riding around in a wheelchair and plan accordingly, which you can’t do because most major cities were built way before the ADA and similar laws in other countries were passed – even before the wheelchair and walkers were invented.

What you want requires trillions of dollars in investment you are never going to get. Not unless you do what I told you to. I gave you stupid assholes a solution, but you’re still not listening. Why?

Because for you, this is all about your feelings and not about building a better world at all.

You’re up in here writing walls of text to personally attack me, like you always do, because all you care about are your stupid fucking emotions. And I emphasize your emotions.

You clearly don’t give a fuck about the old people who will be trapped in their houses, isolated and alone, because they can’t make use of anything other than a car.

You don’t care about the motherfuckers in wheelchairs who you will be effectively imprisoning either.

You sure as fuck don’t care about me other than “How can we exploit this asshole’s anger to make them look bad and win the argument?” because all this is about for you is winning an epic battle against me that is only happening in your own head, because I hurt your feelings by telling you facts you didn’t want to hear, and now you’re getting revenge.

I called you stupid assholes and you, personally, a stupid motherfucker and you will not display one bit of temerity or maturity at all by ignoring it; in fact, that’s all you’re going to talk about because all you care about is how you feel. Not the actual topic of debate.

And that’s why I don’t like you, and I will continue to be an asshole to you until you change, and not before. Like I said, you need me a whole hell of a lot more than I need shallow, stupid, petty, selfish, emotional and violent scumbags like you.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

It’s not that way in most other cities on the planet and you and I both know this.

And it doesn’t address one of the many serious problems with car bans – denying the disabled the right to travel on their own terms and not the bus services.

What happens when they cut routes or service?

Or refuse service for political reasons like during the lockdowns?

Or otherwise dictate when and where you get rides, or who can go with you, or how you travel, or how much stuff you can bring with you?

Or if the service becomes overwhelmed and they simply can’t provide rides to everybody?

It’s terrible and fucked up to expect the disabled to put up with it just so the c/FuckCars chucklefucks can get rid of what they deem as eyesores.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

And that just shows a lack of empathy or life experience.

You can’t always get help so you need to be able to get where you want to go on your own, and that means disabled people need cars.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

By having specially designed cars that enable them to drive.

Even the ones who by the nature of their disability can’t do anything mentally or visually taxing, like drive, don’t disprove or negate the need for cars because everyone else with disabilities need them to get around. Public transport simply isn’t suitable enough for them.

Even old blind people who can’t pass driving tests use Uber or Lyft, because public transport simply isn’t safe or suitable enough for them, especially during grocery runs.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

No, they do, you just didn’t read the article and you don’t care to because the only one getting emotional about this – and trying once again to derail the conversation because you think this about winning – is you.

You are never going to solve sexism and you certainly can’t do it overnight, and if I can’t convince you to put your feelings to the side and stick only to facts in a simple forum conversation, how the hell do you think people are going to undo millennia of toxic sexist ideas in time to implement car bans and avoid needlessly jeopardizing other people?

That’s right, you won’t, because ultimately, you don’t care about the safety or well-being of others. You just want to get rid of eyesores.

pinkdrunkenelephants, (edited )

That’s not what’s happening but thanks for showing the class you haven’t been paying attention at all.

You know, if all you invested a fifth of a third of a quarter of the energy you’re investing trying to get something over on me onto building these walkable cities you supposedly care about, we’d all be on Saturn by now.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

And I am assuming that because they are the norm you’re complaining about in the first place.

If they’re not, then go move to one.

It’s as simple as that. But you don’t get to demand other people lose their cars just because you don’t like them, especially disabled people that will always need them as no walkable city will replace the individual autonomy, carrying capacity and convenience a car provides.
