Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

Open to reconsider my views in light of good-faith counter-arguments but also willing to defend what's right, even when it's unpopular. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • Fuck me too then. I'd be curious to hear how you imagine somebody like me would be able to find customers for my business if I wasn't allowed to drop flyers onto people's mailboxes.

  • That's a pretty fucked up thing to say. Is that really the world you wan't to live in?

  • Also is anyone else stupid enough to buy one?

    Because I'm pointing out that people don't only buy vehicles based on what's wise or optimal. For some, it's also a hobby and they have different preferences as what to drive. At the time of buying my current truck, a wagon would've been sufficient. I just went with what's essentially my childhood-dream car instead. I've since developed an actual need for one too, but even now, a van would be a little more practical. Truck is simply more fun and nicer looking, while being the same size.

  • Interesting to contrast the votes on this with the other thread about conservatives.

    No problem with extremists as long as they're our extremists.

  • No word from the insurance company itself? This whole article seems to be based on a single tweet by a cybertruck owner. For all we know his might be modded in a way that they dropped the insurance on it.

  • People knowingly buy stupid vehicles. I'm one of them. It's expensive to drive, big, has expensive insurance and only seats two but I love it.

  • It's not exactly speculation. The birth rate in much of developed countries is well below the replacement rate. Population decline is already happening in some countries. Looking at current demographic charts shows that the number of elderly people is growing fast, while younger generations are shrinking. With fewer children being born, there will soon be much less workers to support a lot more retirees. Pension systems, mostly designed for growing populations, will be in real trouble as fewer people pay into them and more people are taking money out.

  • Yes it is when there's more people receiving those payments than working. The money has to come from somewhere.

  • If lab grown meat becomes cheaper than "real" meat while keeping the taste and texture of it or even improve on that, I can totally see that replacing factory farmed meat rather quickly. It's like with electric cars; people don't switch if we force / shame them to do so but they will once those vehicles became better than the dirty alternative.

  • Overpopulation is something that'll take care of itself over the next 50 years or so. The more immediate issue is to figure out who will pay the pensions of the aging population.

  • Is the issue here traffic or cars?

    Because for traffic I can see how working public transit would atleast ease of the issue, but for the anti-car sentiment I often see here I don't view public transit as a solution. Not to every car owner atleast.
