  • in the forest straight up cranking it, and by it, well, letr just say..
    my radiophonis

  • this is the only reply that actually explains it and doesn't just go "ew you're gross"

  • but i'm specifically not talking about public transport, i'm talking about a company renting a bus for shuttling its employees.

  • you can still have this, you just have to not buy the shit things

    the only thing i'm aware of that has no non-shit option anymore is TVs, but then who the fuck watches TV anymore?

  • what the fuck is your mobile phone like? i just click the calls app and click the contact and bam i call the person

  • there's potential for a "warning sign guy" slapstick cartoon

  • okay hold on, do other countries not have buses that aren't operated as public transport? do hockey teams in canada take a whole fleet of cars to matches or do they just fly for half an hour?

    here in sweden at least it's completely standard to just buy or rent a bus when you have like 8+ people who need to go somewhere.

  • how does a car to the oil rig make more sense lmfao

  • counterpoint: let them perish while everyone else there who wasn't a blithering moron prospers, and let someone else move in after their business goes under.

  • all the big countries have slave labour by any other name, they all fucking suck

  • that's not the slave labour that's building china, just as prison labour isn't what's powering the US

    the actual productive slave labour is done by regular workers who nominally have "freedom", just that they don't actually have a choice if they and their family want to live.

  • god i want scifi with this vibe, like how retro scifi is always just the cool future tech glued together with the things that were normal back then

  • the secret is to make sure the general colour pattern is the same, like in my case as long as there's blue and yellow surrounded by brownish and a darker bit at the bottom, people will recognize it.

  • all that matters is that the genes are passed on, don't think about it as actively seeking it out, think of it as "only behaviour that results in procreation continues to exist", if they had the ability to care about themselves and prioritize not turning into an accessory then they wouldn't be having children and thus no more such fish would be created.

  • and they accidentally do something that explodes the bad guy, everyone stops and looks around and sees that they did it, and immediately they go back to fighting over which one of them Totally Intended To Do That

  • that's just false though? there are definitely people who know they're not "normal" from a very early age, even people who outright know they want to transition.

  • there are no industrial uses for a truck like this, you do not need a lifted 6-seater with an open bed for anything other than satisfying a need for attention.

    you could maybe invent a highly specific usecase where this would be convenient, but that scenario is going to be a fantasy that doesn't apply to reality.
