People don't really care about automotive safety that much. If they were, they would not drink and drive, text and drive, do their makeup and drive, not wear their seatbelts, speed, not slow down in school zone or other dense area, take their eyes off the road to pick up the phone, so on and so forth.

For every demand they make of OTHER PEOPLE to improve the safety of travel, they are not willing to do even /10 of that.

Most drivers are probably not as competent as you. Think of women who text while driving. The car stopping by itself instead of running a child over is going to save lives.

> in the front yard on the grounds that they were unsightly.

With the stupid reasoning of subjective aesthetic no less. It is almost as stupid as circumcising babies because it 'looks better'.

So many problems can be traced back to the stupid ideal of suburban homes with meticulous lawn neighbourhood.

well said. so many of these crippleocracy arguments are cropping up these days, with the poster virtue signalling.

> there are infinity edge cases.

this is simply not true. there are finite particles in discrete space so there's no infinity here.

How is this bad? They are providing a service. If somebody does marketing better than you, why shouldn't they be able to make money from that?

If the restaurants don't want to work with them they can just not. That they do proves that it is a net benefit.

Where do you live exactly? What is the source of this heat energy?

>The only solution to this is better education that teaches critical thinking

The underlying assumption here is that everybody is capable of anything if only they were given the right 'education'.

>Despite our flaws, there’s a difference in Russia or China hacking and the US.

the difference is you identify the US as 'our'.

Well then by your logic, spying on US citizens by the US government is perfectly fine, since it would count at 'espionage against a country that has 10,000 nukes, used it a couple of times to incinerate a few 100ks people, and is very much sanctioned by government".

>You may want to revisit this question if you ever find yourself in need of medical care.

So the implication here is that it's okay to take other people money if you 'need it'

perhaps I should revisit the question of whether stealing is wrong if I ever find myself a bandit?

> If the tap water sucks, you need big bottles of water

or just get better tap water.

worse case scenario you pour the bottled water into the pipe system at a central location and save the transport cost.

the difference is people in the first world willingly reject perfectly potable water coming in pipe for plastic-bottled water. While in poor countries, some don't have access to pipe water and tanker water is far better than well water.

it seems a machine does not fulfill 100% requirement of a grown adult so in case where the lung function is low enough they would need two.

>This is crazy, even if you add up a life time of taxes paid into the system by all our family members you wouldn't even begin to get close to that kind of number. I am truly convinced socialized healthcare is the only way forward, thinking that my mom could've been dead because we didn't have enough money in the bank sound so fucking dystopian

If you didn't pay for it, somebody did.

Why should a stranger be forced to pay for your medical care?

>even the lowest employees

Why is the janitor considered "the lowest employee" by you?

I think you are stretching that greed counts as a coping mechanism via 'connection' in order to fit with the buddhist teaching.
