Airplanes are the worse when it comes to this, they dump it mid air like it is a literal shitstorm


They are actually hooked up to the pumps. Big Oil doesn't want you to know this but gas is a myth and cars are actually powered by piss and shit. It's why your car's gastank has an inviting hole about waist high.

This is why they don't want you drunk driving because by breaking the seal after drinking a shit ton of beer, you now have unlimited fuel.

If you are at all serious about improving public transit, you have to crack down on niggatry and crack down on it HARD.

These are the same people who chastise the NYPD for arresting fare-dodgers while not understanding you have to pay for public transit. Their social justice views are just too incompatible with the carcel urbanism required to run a city efficiently.

How do you think this will fare with their congestion pricing if people can just run dummy plates or those Temu retractable plate covers?

I think it'll be 2020 levels of retardation. Let's arrest people for violating these blatantly illegal lockdowns, all while releasing the actual criminals to "slow the spread." You'd have to be completely direction-brained to not see the fundamental mismatch between urbanism and leftoid crime obfuscation at this point. That city dug itself into a pit and drove its more sensible residents like Louis Rossmann insane. I can't blkame him one bit for moving to Texas.

Lifting your truck used to be for mudding and off roading and it has been used too much just for looks by wiggers trying to look like a monster truck. Everything gets co-opted by posers these days it sucks.

I don't have an English source for it, but apparently 11 cyclists died in Berlin in 2024, and only one of them wasn't at fault for the accident.
And even the one not at fault was still run over by a truck turning right, so the cyclist must have been entirely too trusting of the visibility in a truck.
One died during an illegal Street race, but was considering also at fault because the car did have priority and the cyclist didn't care. Until he died.

Link it (and an archive) regardless. Anyone can run it through Google translate, so those of us who were fortunate enough to not be born German can still read it.

Find the leftoid with the Subaru or Prius where the back hatch is a wall of stickers.

There's a difference between autist covering the back with anime stickers (insane, but in a different way) and the back with Coexist, at least one rainbow flag, "Who Rescued Who", political stickers from the last three major elections, and probably something that donates shitty taste, like a Steven Universe sticker.

They always punish the law abiding citizens instead of cracking down on the Niggers (including White lumpen prole trash)

I have an SUV (a 30 year old Japanese one I bought for less than $1000 and fixed up) that I tow, haul, and do light offroading in. I outright refuse to lift it. It already has more than enough ground clearance from the factory and it would just make the body roll and rollover risk worse. It's the same as the beaners in Hondas who kill their daily usability by dropping the ride height as low as possible and add a bunch of negative camber. it rides like ass, scrapes on everything (I've personally seen numerous engine and tranny oil pans get busted from this and many failed because of it), and it just isn't safe.

There's plenty of retarded mods in the car enthusiast world. I use my truck as an actual truck and I use my car in amateur racing events, so I need the suspension set up properly in both cases. More of those night time car show guys should try autocross.

What is even their plan of enforcement? As pointed out, they don't police fair dodgers and I don't think cops are champing at the bit to put their lives and freedom on the line to give black people glorified parking tickets that they will just ignore. If anything I think this will only lead to an increase in street takeovers now that civil society is forced to pay up or stay home.

They also throw tantrums about safety on public transit - as though people will use transit if it is infested with anti-social homeless lunatics with nothing to lose.

The tragedy of urbanism is that orderly cities that are easy to traverse with public transit are possible. However, the path to that is law & order conservatism and libertarian deregulation.

 

[Michael McDoesntexist]

That's another problem. The homeless cannot be allowed to camp on the streets and set up tent cities if you want higher public transit usage. We already know that the people doing this are overwhelmingly either drug addicts who fried their brains on some heavy shit, severely mentally ill, or a combination of both. This is not to say these people don't need help, but how the fuck does the status quo help them? It doesn't, it just leaves them to terrorize and intimidate the general public (see what I said about Daniel Penny and Jordan Neely yesterday). This also hurts businesses who lose foot traffic due to this, meaning cities who leave their homeless populations to go feral are actively kneecapping their own tax base. Which means less money to maintain city infrastructure like the subway and less money to hire the staff needed to keep it safe and running efficiently, which hurts # of riders even more.

However, the path to that is law & order conservatism and libertarian deregulation.

Louis Rossmann has done a better job explaining how NYC fucks it's tax base by being hostile to both builders and businesses far better than I ever could and he's right. People will only tolerate your city being so much of a shithole before they say fuck it and leave. Them killing tourism and nightlife with their especially heavy handed coof lockdowns and clot shot passes basically took the last redeeming thing about the city for many and killed it. When I was in lower Manhattan a couple months ago, half the street level storefronts were either empty or turned into these weird art galleries. Louis explains the art gallery thing and why the building owners can't just lower rent to bring back tenants because NYC real estate is one giant game of musical chairs. And they can't build more buildings to force lower prices because of building and even renovating the decrepit ones they have to make them usable again being prohibitively expensive and taking an absurd amount of time just to get approval to build.

Urbanists really are their own worst enemy and they're too midwitted to see it. I am not an NYC native or resident myself, but I have family who are. I've been to the city 6-8 times in the past 15 years, first time being in 2008 or so. The city really was much livelier back then, before the ideas of urbanist nigger loving faggots left it worse. I'm from another major US city that I've personally seen suffer a similar fate, albeit on a lesser scale. The reason we criticize these cities isn't because we just hate the cities. It's because we want them to do better and we know they can.

They always deflect regarding public transit safety with "BUT WHAT ABOUT CAR ACCIDENTS?!" rather than admitting it. A better way to argue would be that subway crime is disproportionately reported, and start by admitting that Penny did the right thing.

The real problem is still they use disproven ideas like "eyes on the street" ignoring the fact that in high-profile cases like getting raped or set on fire, the other riders will do nothing.

Their only retort is shoving statistics in your face as if it's a slam dunk. Even 13/50 pushers don't parade 13/50 around endlessly. The reality is that when people evaluate safety, they consider more factors than just numbers. For example, air travel is the safest statistically but that does not consider the fact that a plane crash is less survivable than a car crash, or that you aren't in control of the plane. Of course, they hate planes, still you get my point.

In order words, it's more complicated than they make it out to be, and they hate dealing with nuance.

Many such as myself consider a drop in statistical safety (for certain things, the risks are often different, not lower across the board. Planes are the exception, but aviation is the mst specialized with the highest standards) for a gain in control to be worthwhile.

We should also remind them that crime in general is massively underreported in basically all major US cities. At least if someone tries to carjack me, I have more of a chance to escape. But if I get cornered in the subway, I'm SOL. As we saw with Daniel Penny, the few who would otherwise intervene are afraid of being persecuted through the legal system by bad actors. As they say, you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.

You also have to understand the statistics and how they apply to your particular use case.

For example, auto accidents have a large amount that have alcohol, weather, and night as contributing factors. Just like if you restrict airplanes to commercial flights by US carriers greatly reduce the number of incidents.

Same with general aviation if you remove flying into weather and alcohol (especially in the 60s).

And some of those you can control for. Subway incidents are hard for you to control for; there’s nothing like “travel only during the day” that greatly reduces the chance (since the option of “don’t travel except with whites” isn’t available).

People have an intuitive feel for this even if they haven’t investigated it by numbers. You also have to remember that for ever reported actual incident there are tens or hundreds of “near misses” (which is why NASA compiles aircraft near misses) - you’ll encounter many loud belligerent drunks on the subway before you see one pop off and attack someone.

And by fucking with the categories and input parameters, you can make a study that says whatever the hell you want it to. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
