So, in your view, a car is more like an accessory than a mode of transport.

If that's the case, then people with the new brains should have their sex organs harvested.

Well, when you invest $$$ into something that's meant to be fun and it's not fun, then there's your problem. Why not invest in the game designers and scale down the graphics/fancy stuff and exec salaries?

Could be that is just simply faster for them to use the road.

Or driving with cars around you is more predictable that pedestrians? That's the case for me, although I always use the bike lane where I can.

The US election system is set up for the rich and powerful to stay in charge. It's ridiculous that there's effectively only two parties, and it's ridiculous that a single person, the president, holds so much power. No accountability. Their system needs an entire overhaul, IMO:

Compulsory voting Ease of access for voting Preferential voting Lower bar for running, meaning every citizen has the opportunity to run

There was this incident in my town a long time ago. I believe the cause was leaking gas bottles and having them unsecured caused sparks, which then resulted in the explosion.

So, secure those gas bottles well!!

To those who feel saddened by this, always remember that you can be your own best friend. Treat yourself.

Hmmmm. And Shintoism?

Edit: I'm being cheeky. Looks like religion turns itself into tribalism when a certain population point is reached.

Buddhism is pretty alright though, isn't it?

Authoritarianism != Communism

Communism is about the power of the working class, seizing the means of production, and self governance. No government has effectively put into practice communist practices because the concept of government itself is contrary to communism.

There's been a decades long movement in the US to demonise communism (and socialism) in favour of capitalism. There used to be overtly communist political groups in America.

Anyway, it's an interesting read. I highly recommend you read up about communism and what it stands for. Also capitalism because we're all more or less living in a crony capitalist world.

Are you okay?

And who will decide what is good and bad behaviour? Hmm? And what advantage will society as a whole get from this?
