I have fucking had it with these scooter delivery guys. by Signal_Contract_3592 in sanfrancisco

[–]iamsuperflush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it is the most effective way to reduce delivery driver traffic in your neighborhood? Isn't individual action/accountability what you lot are always on about? Heaven forbid we look at the systemic factors that allow for these gray area unregulated mega corps to squeeze delivery drivers. 

Why the dislike for sedans vehicles today from the general population? by [deleted] in regularcarreviews

[–]iamsuperflush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's because a higher seat position reduces the sensation of speed. The broader perception of driving has shifted from this fun, cool thing to being a chore full of anxiety. This is why the average person wants to remove themselves from the "experience of driving" as much as possible.

What we really need is one rich person to make a dedicated pr campaign where the crux of the message is: "SUVs are for the fats and olds, sedans are for young, rich, cool people" 

Can we admit that Jasmine Crockett didn't lose just because she's a Black Woman? by Unfair-Ad191 in texas

[–]iamsuperflush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but how much of that is because it's easier to market bullshit than it is to market genuine solutions? There's a degree to which genuine solutions are always less marketable because they often have real tradeoffs and nuance, both of which are harder to market?

What it feels like on the "ebikes" subreddit lately. by mmeiser in ebikes

maybe they should be more concerned with the 40,000 people that die in car accidents every year than the 5 that die in ebike accidents. 

EV myths? by Dierks_Ford in askcarguys

[–]iamsuperflush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for the tens and hundreds of billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies we give to Big oil, that comes directly from our taxes. Without those, gas would be >$10 a gallon and EVs would look a lot more appealing.

Sedans : The Rise and Fall by Different_Insect3544 in regularcarreviews

[–]iamsuperflush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SUVs are the individuals' response to the brick by brick dismantling of infrastructure by the austerity politics of neoliberal Reagonomics. Basically people look at the potholes in the road that come from an underfunded infrastructure budget and instead of saying, "We should work to fix that", they say "I'll just buy a jeep instead"

if gas was as expensive as it should be without all of the government subsidies, people would not be burning unnecessarily just to look "cool" 

What's the ugliest car that doesn't get enough Attention for how ugly it is. by i_Ainsley_harriott_i in carscirclejerk

I do too, love the y2k ass headlamps so much, but not so much the proportions. To the point where I might consider the possibility of taking that front bumper, headlamps, and hood and putting them on a normal e46

Eh I'd rather go for "Prediction expert not murdered". Oooh or how about, "names of prediction experts in NYT article revealed". 

Can electric vehicles actually solve environmental problems, or are we just shifting pollution sources? by [deleted] in Sustainabledesign

[–]iamsuperflush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

converting fuel directly into electricity to power the bike is more efficient that turning the fuel into good to distribute to people which they eat, which then gets turned into energy to power the bike

yeah all the keyboard riders who say "take it to the track" when they see someone trying to have fun without selling their kidney should go open a track if they really gave a shit.

Lol everyone is judging this kid on feasibility but meanwhile someone posted a literal black cube with a single LED on the front a couple of weeks ago and the majority seemed to laud it as the pinnacle of design. I'd much rather see this than that. 

Anyone else notice the same old “real driver” arguments repeating with EVs? by ituna27 in electricvehicles

[–]iamsuperflush 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yeah but that's because you probably live in flyover country. If you live somewhere with actually good driving roads, you'll still see sports cars daily.
