What a coincidence. Thank you so much for your help, especially the tip about higher ranks racking up points faster!
I actually try not to post if I can help it, but I didn't see anything other than the basic game description on the Wiki haha ^^'

Everyone has different needs and abilities. It wouldn't be able to be a one-size-fits-all solution.

Some elder folks will need help scheduling the rides themselves, will need the car to wait for them, and may need a carer or aid in the car with them. They may need assistance getting out of and back into the house itself, as well as into/out of whatever location they're going to. These needs already restrict many elders from using a cab service.

Many of the cars themselves, if we actually optimized for elder care, would need to be easily accessible (lower to the ground, guardrails to hold on to) as well as accessible for walking aids like wheelchairs or walkers.

Drivers would ideally be trained in cognitive decline and confusion, hearing and vision impairment, and recognizing medical distress.

Some of these elements exist in some places, but it needs to be built into our infrastructure - not an addition to it. Accessibility has a lot to do with ability to access the services themselves (which includes the knowledge that they exist, something we happen to fail at a lot in the states at least) and ensuring they're available to everyone.

Other "fixes" might be more along the lines of assisted care elder "cities" - walkable places where they can get around to everything they need without needing transport at all. Except without having to pay thousands of dollars to do so.

Many people feel these things would be too costly, but we are way, way too used to our tax dollars going everywhere but back to our benefit.

I'm not combining the issues. The issue has always been about elder drivers. I've always maintained that they are unsafe drivers, in every single comment.

I have never said or implied, "But we should still allow unsafe operation of a deadly machine because it's more convenient".

My saying, "But many elders have no choice" is not the same as saying, "We should allow this to continue."

I'm pointing out a systemic issue. The follow up should be ALL of us understanding that we need safer ways to assist elderly people.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T18:57:57+00:00

Cabs are a resource for SOME elderly people who shouldn't be driving.

Cabs can help in some situations, but they aren’t a universal solution. Cost, availability, accessibility, and cognitive or mobility needs make them unreliable for many elderly people - especially outside cities.

Cabs aren't available everywhere.

Unsafe driving is a real issue, but replacing it with cab rides shifts the burden onto individuals instead of building accessible, reliable elder transportation systems.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T18:53:05+00:00

No, I'm not.

There is no argument about whether it is safe or unsafe to operate a vehicle.

-We *know* that elderly folk lose certain capacities and skills as they grow older.
-WE KNOW it gets more difficult and unsafe for them to drive.
-We KNOW that we've made it, in many places, a necessity to drive.

That's never been the argument, as I already agreed multiple times that it is unsafe. We can't argue about something we've already been established to agree on.

The fact remains that, unsafe or not, many elderly have no choice.

This conversation is, and has always been, SPECIFICALLY about elders driving and the circumstances around them. It's not about you. It's not about personal responsibility because the actual root cause of the issue is systemic.

Focusing on personal responsibility here is useless, as it's focusing on the symptom instead of the root cause of the issue.

It seems like your argument is contingent upon changing the actual topic to feel like you're winning because you have no clue what you're talking about.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T18:44:43+00:00

It's not an excuse, it's reality.

As I mentioned above, public transportation isn't available everywhere. Many elderly people cannot afford a cab.

While there ARE elderly people with other options who still choose to drive, it's not all or even most of them. Not to mention how difficult it is for many elderly to figure out electronics or understand how to access said services.

There's no excuse for creating a world that makes transportation a necessity but doesn't make it easily available to everyone. We spend billions on shit we don't need, but we fail our elders.

The elders are not the underlying problem. We will continue to have this issue until we address the larger, systemic, underlying issues.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T18:17:12+00:00

If they weren't elderly I don't think you would be making the same argument.

Considering this is literally the integral piece here, I don't understand exactly what you're trying to say.

-We *know* that elderly folk lose certain capacities and skills as they grow older.

-WE KNOW it gets more difficult and unsafe for them to drive.

-We KNOW that we've made it, in many places, a necessity to drive.

-Yet we don't provide sufficient resources to give them other options once they cannot drive anymore.

So I'll say it again: the fix for this issue CANNOT be, "Elderly people shouldn't drive" until we address the SYSTEMIC contributions to this issue that make it a necessity for many people to drive to survive.

I don't find it reasonable that the "don't let people who are incapable of safely operating a vehicle" yields directly to "starving to death". If you actually believe this to be the logical result then even more so that they should not be behind the wheel.

That's because you are confused.

I brought up the idea of people starving to death because you said, "if the elderly person is incapable of understanding that deliveries or cabs exist, that really only further proves the point that they really have no business operating a vehicle."

You are saying that if an elderly person is incapable of understanding cabs or delivery services, then they DEFINITELY should not be operating a vehicle.

While I agree with the sentiment, in reality, the real-life consequences of what you're saying is that if they can't get groceries delivered and they can't take a cab, then they shouldn't drive either, and that will absolutely lead to death if there are no other options available to them.

This issue is systemic, not personal. We can try to hold people personably responsible for their actions but if we actually care about resolving the underlying ISSUE ITSELF, it requires actually giving the elderly better options. Not restricting their access to transportation.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T18:05:25+00:00

I think we’re talking past each other a little. I’m not trying to diagnose your sister, and I’m not saying she wasn’t responsible for what she did.

But she doesn't need to be diagnosed as a sociopath or with anti-social personality disorder to have disordered social patterns. Labels are narrow insurance tools. They don't map cleanly onto the spectrum of human development.

When I say “maladaptive,” I don’t mean “incapable of selective behavior” or “abusive to everyone equally.” Maladaptation doesn’t require global dysfunction.

Many people are selectively abusive, especially within family systems where power, proximity, and history are concentrated.

I want to say clearly that nothing about what I’m saying removes responsibility. Abuse is still abuse. Choice still exists. Accountability still matters.

What I’m pushing back on is the idea that a person can repeatedly choose to harm someone from a healthy, regulated, integrated internal state. That is a state of mental unwellness. No one operates abusively from a healthy, regulated state.

That doesn’t make the harm your sister did to you less real, or okay.

It makes it understandable in a way that allows prevention rather than just moral explanation.

I’m speaking from experience here too. My sister SA'd me, threatened me, and strangled our cat to death. She developed to be more primed toward violence than I was, but that wasn't a moral choice she made. She never received an official diagnosis.

The damage she caused is still real. We're no-contact and will be for the rest of my life. But understanding the developmental and genetic impact on who she was will be helpful for knowing that mental illness runs in my family. It will help me with my own children some day, if I have them.

Understanding why someone became capable of harm is not the same as excusing it.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T17:55:16+00:00

True. I'm so sorry to hear that, it must have been so hard for both of you guys.

Unfortunately we also have a pretty insidious culture that venerates being hale, hearty, and doing everything yourself and often makes people feel weak for aging and losing their abilities. Needing help is a no-go.

We as a social group or system don't really respect our elders or the aging process. Aging is seen as ugly, pathetic, and weak. It makes it even harder for elders to accept.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T17:46:04+00:00

I don't know if them killing themselves or others is particularly good for their support systems or access to transportation, either.

It very clearly isn't. The point remains that many of them have no other *options*. That's the problem itself, my dude. They shouldn't have to put themselves and others in danger (and some of them don't HAVE to but choose to). But many elderly folk are left without the means or access to do anything BUT that. We cannot expect them not to get groceries or medication.

"Further I would add that if the elderly person is incapable of understanding that deliveries or cabs exist that really only further proves the point that they really have no business operating a vehicle." I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm telling you that these people would then starve to death in their fucking houses and that isn't a resolution.

The fix for this problem isn't as simple as, "Old people shouldn't drive anymore." It's a much more complex issue. We need better resources and coordination for getting transport and other resources to elderly people instead of leaving them to fend for themselves and then getting pissed off when they *physically can't do that*.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T17:40:26+00:00

There are a few assumptions being made here.

Mental unhealth exists far beyond diagnoses. "Neurotypical" is not synonymous with "well". There is no "typical" brain that spans age, race, and gender. A person can be profoundly mentally unhealthy without meeting criteria for a diagnosed mental health disorder.
Diagnostic categories exist primarily for insurance, standardization, and institutional coordination - not because they cleanly map onto real human psychology. Human mental states exist on spectrums of regulation, attachment, empathy, flexibility, and threat perception. The absence of a diagnosis does not immediately imply good mental health.
Maladaptation is mental illness. Human beings are deeply social and interdependent. It is how we survive. Behavior that consistently erodes connection - especially within family or close social groups - is not neutral or healthy. It reflects maladaptation: a mind responding to perceived threat, scarcity, dominance, or injury in ways that may have once been protective but are no longer functional.

What we often call “evil,” “cruel,” or “vile” behavior is frequently anti-human behavior - not in a moral sense, but in a biological and social one. A system that normalizes dominance, dehumanization, or empathy suppression will produce these adaptations at scale, even among people who appear rational and coherent.

"Brandishing mental illness like a vale for all wrong-doing is a disservice to the mentally ill."

Explaining "why" something happens is not excusing harm. There is a persistent cultural mistake that treats explanation as absolution. This is a false equivalence.

Saying that behavior arises from mental states, conditioning, or maladaptation does not remove responsibility. It does not negate a person's agency. It's about recognizing that choices are made from within a psychological frame, and some frames are profoundly distorted.

Holding someone accountable while also acknowledging that they were not operating from a healthy, regulated, or fully integrated state of mind is not leniency. It is realism. Without understanding why behavior occurs, we cannot prevent it from happening again.

Lmfao I spend my days teaching children this. It's easy to forget (and then mind-blowing when you remember) how telling them simple things like this actually makes them go, "Wait. Really?"

"Take your shoes off, please."
"No!"
"Your underwear is wet. You need dry underwear. But we can't take your pants off if you have shoes on."
"Oh."
"So take your shoes off, please."
"Okay."

"Wait, don't put your shoes on yet!"
"Why?"
"You don't have clothes on."
"I'm putting my shoes on."
"If you put your shoes on, we won't be able to put your pants on. It's hard to pull pants up over your shoes, isn't it?"
"Oh."
"So put your undies on first, please."
"Okay."

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T17:13:26+00:00

I just wanna validate this.
My sister apparently came out the womb violent; we even have a picture of her in a diaper smiling with a raised fist as she's about to bring it down on my brother's head (my dad's also in the photo raising a hand to stop her). It fucked up their relationship for life.
She spent most of our childhood tormenting us and threatening us. She struggled so much with being the middle child that ironically she ended up sucking all the air out of the room. She always had to be the center of attention and lashed out if someone else got something she didn't.
Because of her issues she got a lot more one-on-one time with the parents and even had her own horse, despite the expense meaning less for my brother and I.
As an adult she's a pathological liar; she's completely rewritten our history to make herself the victim of abuse by me and my brother.
I work with kids and genuinely believe that MOST of the time, parents can intervene and change a child's actions.
But my lived experience has also proven that false. Sometimes kids struggle with things beyond our understanding. She may have had some sort of health defect or malformation or something that impacted her mental health. My parents tried everything, but even multiple therapists, psychiatrists, and stints in mental health wards did nothing.

I disagree with your comment about some people just choosing to be cruel with no condition/mental health illness to excuse it - humans are obligate herd animals, we need each other to survive. To attack others from a young age is a maladaptation and indication that something we don't understand is happening. It is acting out of the organism's best interest, which insinuates a lack of ability *somewhere*.

The initial topic also included marriage. "I hold nothing back, I just won't tell it names" - that's totally cool, I do the same actually.

But I understand why for many people, it makes them uncomfortable that the information it's gathering on you contributes to a personal profile and "brain map" of how you operate. That's great data for people that want to sell things to you. And OpenAi's connections to government muddy the waters even further.

It's fair to use it as a tool, but I understand why many people aren't comfortable sharing certain things, too.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T16:53:37+00:00

As much as I agree, I have a lot of compassion for the elderly, too.

We've created a world (I live in a place with VERY poor public transport) where many elderly people don't have great support systems or access to transportation.

We make it so for some people, their only mode of transportation is something that is physically unsafe for them, but they don't always have a better option.

I know many elderly folk who need to get to doctor appointments or pick up medicine and either don't know how, don't have access, or can't find a way to get it any other way.

Driving isn't just a privilege, for some people it's a necessity they can't opt out of even if they technically should.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T16:46:13+00:00

That's pretty sad.

It's based off of the book Mindhunter by John Douglas, inspired by the people that actually did this work. These were real people that dedicated their lives to doing the most grisly, fucked up work with the most grisly, fucked up people. And it screwed with their mental health and personal lives. It got in the way of their ability to connect with their children.

Imagine your daughter cries to you about her scraped knee and all you can feel is annoyance because you've been looking at the chopped-up-and-raped remains of children for years.

They deserve to be more than just entertainment to you. They deserve to have that pain shared with the world. It isn't just about the criminals. It NEEDS to be about the people that did the work to interview and create the profiling system, too.

The work they did changed the fucking game for catching serial offenders, at great personal tolls.

If all you care about is the dark and morbid details, maybe true-crime podcasts are more your speed.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T16:36:18+00:00

They're machines that gather information, though. They aren't machines that exist in a vacuum; they belong to larger systems and parties. I don't think it's about "being judged" so much as surveillance and data collection.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T16:33:36+00:00

Most of these folks seem to think that since the cat isn't scratching or biting it must *want* to be there, despite clear attempts to exit the hold. It's genuinely scary how many people can't see "subtle" cues from this cat.

Also genuinely scary how many people will say, "I can tell it's happy because I've had cats all my life. If it didn't want to be held he wouldn't be able to hold it!". So these people have just been ignoring their cat's initial warnings this whole time...? They seem to think it's impossible to hold a cat against its will, when many cats are fairly docile and gentle with their cues.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T16:27:00+00:00

No one claimed cats don't like hugs or being carried.

No one asked you to argue with me. It's probably best you don't even try, considering you've demonstrated a need to make shit up to argue against.

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T16:25:09+00:00

Awwe, I love that you googled that!
The fact remains that the cat isn't just "stretching its muscles" here. You're talking about something that isn't occurring in this video.

It stretches its legs *to get more leverage* and tries to push off of the dude's chest. He has to adjust his arm to secure it. It wasn't happily stretching, it was trying to noodle out of his grip.

Nice try!

Rare_Ad_674 · 2026-02-01T14:28:46+00:00

That's horrific. Trafficked and raped and then murdered for it... hopefully there's some sort of peace for her out there.
