To be clear, I bought the truck before he became a polarizing political figure.

In 2024

She got the truck in 2024, the rental car in 2021. Still would have been an insane self-own, but 2024 is way crazier

Oh yeah, you’re right. I was confused because she mentioned driving it for 3 years. Severe self-own!

Over the next three years, Ma’Lady and I drove more than 35,000 miles

SHE’S ACTING LIKE DRIVING 20 MINUTES AWAY IS GOING TO KILL HER

She spent all this breath talking about her exhaustion driving all over the place and then I got to this part and I had to count the zeros to make sure I read it right.

I first turned to Tesla because I needed a car with self-driving features

They then go on to explain that the long drives were making them tired.

Or:

I’m overworking myself so much that even just traveling was forcing me to drive to the point of exhaustion.

Ever think maybe we’re headed in a bad direction with self-driving…

Wouldn’t need to work so hard if you weren’t making massive car payments

Business Insider published this woman’s blog post, as one does. Qui bono? https://drangelakenzslowe.com/

Also, of course she’s the kind of person to hide that she gave a TEDx talk and not a TED talk until the last possible moment on her website.

Business Insider (and Politico) have been bought by Axel Springer, a German publisher whose flagship paper is Bild, pretty much the German sun, and is generally a heaven for innacurate reporting, and general right-wing shit-headdery.

Fuck Cars

!fuck_cars@lemmy.ml

Create post

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
