You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.
And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.
And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.
Basically most people shouldn’t have pickup trucks.
Love how the bed of the truck is basically the same size (if not smaller) as well so really you can’t use the excuse of needing the bigger truck for hauling stuff.
Id love a pickup…but it would be impractical, expensive to buy and run, the back space is basically useless cause even if you do put a cover on, the locks are crap. So I won’t be getting a pick up truck. Plus, where I live, it would go missing.
I would go further. Most cars don’t belong in places where people live. They injure and kill people on the regular, the noise pollution causes mental and physical health problems, the light pollution disrupts sleep, the particulate pollution causes cardiovascular disease and dementia, as well as damaging ecosystems, driving adds to obesity and issues related to a sedentary lifestyle, the physical space they take leads to sprawl and ecosystem destruction, and the sprawl also bankrupts cities and towns. As well, driving in traffic just plain sucks as an activity, and makes people angry and miserable.
Oh yeah. Cars are bad on like every metric.
Socially they isolate people. You don’t interact with anyone when you’re driving except to get angry. The micro interactions you have on the train matter. Seeing people that aren’t just like you, also annoyed that the train is delayed, or just having a nice time with their kids, matters. More than makes up for when other people are annoying.
Economically they hurt. It’s much harder to just pop into an interesting looking shop when you’re cruising along at 40mph. All the space dedicated to parking could be used for other stuff- housing, commerce, communal space, whatever.
They make spaces less safe. Other than the direct impact (no pun intended) of people getting hit by cars, or crashing into stuff, a space that has steady foot traffic is generally safer. If everyone was in their car instead, you’d probably be alone on foot with no one to help if something happened.
They’re bad for the environment. Air pollution, micro plastics, whatever.
Drunk driving is way more dangerous than drunk “riding the train”.
The more non-car options are built out, the better it will be for people who need to drive for whatever reason.
Cars culture is trash and if we ever escape from it, it’s going to take years.
Going to disagree with your second point. In the UK at least, there’s a lot of friendly “no, after you” type activity. If the road narrows due to an overhead railway bridge or parked cars etc. generally speaking one or both will pull over, flash their lights to signal the other one can go first, and get a friendly wave of thanks when they pass. Letting people in at junctions isn’t uncommon either, though tends to be more the exception than the rule.
There is anger too of course, but usually only aimed at people who aren’t following the rules of the road, have done something stupid/dangerous, or are hesitating for far too long.
Come to India. Seems like your dreamland.
I‘d love to move to India again. I just don’t know how I could get a job there. I don’t have any fancy degrees.
The only reason Americans started buying pick up trucks on mass is because of Tarifs put on Japanese car manufacturers in the 1970s and pick up trucks had no taxes on them suddenly became one of the cheapest and more affordable cars in the United States. Rick Wolf explained this somewhere I can’t remember where exactly.
There were also reduced fuel economy requirements for trucks and off-road vehicles, which contributed to the rise of SUVs.
Its even worse in SEA. Some countries like Nam have these small dick pick-up driving shitheads but what they don’t have is America’s huge roads and streets.

I don’t really know of any other hills or why I would be near them so if I die on a hill it will probably be one of these.

The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter
I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there’s a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don’t. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and …yeah he could probably pass but that’s…well it’d be a much easier call if the character and the VA’s “race” matched.
(In the star trek universe this wouldn’t matter at all, I’m only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)
Christian missionaries are white supremacists.
It’s also colonialism.
I think I agree with this one.
- No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
- Static typing sucks.
Anime and weeb culture is a plague on humanity. It’s objectively bad and anyone who likes it is fucked in the head. I’ve never met a weeb who isn’t a creep.
Go to an anime con. Face your fears.
Being vegan is a moral base line.
My hill: Laws that give “unnecessary” rights to people are still good overall and shouldn’t ever, EVER, be reversed. Laws that give “unnecessary” rights keep society stable and have come from past times soaked in blood. If you reverse 60-100 years of these gains, then society will collapse.
Can you give examples of unnecessary rights?
Sure. Some people think it’s not necessary to have local anti-discrimination laws against minority groups here. Some people think why should LGBTQ get married in a fucking church, can’t they just sign a paper saying legally they are as good as married without sullying the institution?
Ah ok, well those laws are there because of those people. Otherwise it would just be common sense. So yes, those should never be reversed.
People without empathy shouldn’t have the right to lead people (politics, work, …).
There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.
Russia should be denuclearised and split up.

The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter
My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it’s not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.
Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there’s no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups. Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.
People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.
