  • It always blows my mind that we’re such a car centric hellhole but when I was in college living in an apartment I’d have to sneak to work on my car because there wasn’t any DIY garages and it was against lease terms to work on cars on the property.

    I’d have to wait until 5/6 at night right before it got dark and rush to change my oil or brakes before it got too dark to see.

    These days I give my younger coworkers the pin and 24/7 access to my garages if they want to work on their cars or any projects really.





  • Hah what a crock of biased shit take one look at this photo and tell me it’s for safety and not so this strip mall can look slightly less shitty

    This photo doesn’t even really stress how bad it gets right now in the spring because anywhere with sand/rocks will be a thick bush. Even in the photo the gray car in the middle is cutting into both lanes so a guy making a right has a bush and that to look forward to. If you decide to go north and take a left to get out then you’ve gotta dodge oncoming traffic and pedestrians leaving a busy store.

    You should always take it slow and crawl out of a blind corner but obstacles make it harder for no reason. In this lot if you crawl out enough to see left and right half of your car is already in the oncoming lane and you’ve crashed.

    Porsche etc drivers are the ones specifically where that is often a necessity due to how difficult theircars can be to spot.

    Lmao so let’s throw bushes everywhere so people and cars can’t see, gotcha. Jfc people

    Policies had wide-ranging support, with the most popular being conserving forests and land (54% public support), more solar, wind and renewable power (53%), adopting climate-friendly farming techniques (52%) and investing more in green businesses and jobs (50%).

    Im sorry I forgot jokes weren’t allowed or you’re just being thick because it’s the internet and that’s what people do on it.

    I’m guessing that there’s not that much overlap between a group that’d vote against conservation of forests while voting for a pivot to renewables.

    So it seems like you’re just making shit up to justify telling people to ignore climate change.

    lol I think you’ve already forgotten the assignment

    Lol I don’t think that link makes anyone more optimistic.

    Policies had wide-ranging support, with the most popular being conserving forests and land (54% public support), more solar, wind and renewable power (53%), adopting climate-friendly farming techniques (52%) and investing more in green businesses and jobs (50%).

    When you start breaking it down by actual ways to stop climate change and the highest yes vote they can get is 54%? And that’s a 54% for something I thought wouldn’t even be controversial.

    I’m just saying it’s ok for someone to take a step back from the news if it’s gonna cause them to stress out. There’s not a whole lot people can actually do in their day to day and I don’t think fighting on a forum with ten people is helping anyone
