Considering you said you’re german, I think the whole Idea of “Ehrenamt” and subsidiaries of it runs counter to the entire system that has been built. If we monetize everything, I think it’s fine that people get paid for taking time out of their day and bodies to do good shit.
Basically, don’t do unpaid labour in this system?
IR Smoke Detectors with IOT would do the trick here and seem a likely choice on account of they didn’t include some bullshit about AI recognition, but it also makes them hilariously easy to game. Just spray some axe near it, you know us teenage boys, we smell. Or hell, dust.
also bypasses anyone in the IT Department having a shred of conscience because you don’t even gotta really connect to the local network
That’s not limited to 9X Windows, up until W10 that’s still around because Microsofts big selling point is their shit works backwards for nigh-eternity
bested by my nemesis, markup, again, thanks & fixed
Broke: We can offer you our truffle fucked nothingburger with garlic ass for $20 dollars with every single fry costing a dollar extra
Bespoke: falafel shawarma $3, yoghurt or hummus, boss?
at the point where your cutlery becomes necessary to eat your burger unless you pig-trough it you have failed at making a burger
If you’re talking to libs obviously the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is any and all of those, why would they be named such otherwise
More like a Tontine HEYOOOOOOooohhh :(
One of the worst things you can do to the environment folks. Don’t bear children. Don’t invite another being into this madness and suffering.
As is continuing to live so why don’t you follow through on that line of thought here
Like me personally or like societally?
Plan’s right there mate. Early retirement at 0 loss after an age cutoff, 5 year former wages for the rest, have some of the boffins at the Wirtschaftsministerium calculate where the cut-off makes sense economically, done. Fuck just reuse the plans from when you dismantled any given organisation in the 90s - 2000s, I’m sure they’re still around, could be used for good for ones. This is not a hard thing to do, logistically.
No one here likes the coal generators. […]so even obviously good paths will face pushback, like from entire regions whose jobs are in the coal industry.
This in itself is contradictory but even despite that, there’s 20.000 people left with jobs in the coal industry. You could give everyone over like the age of 50 their pension as if they worked till the regular pension age and then re-train everybody else with very generous benefits for the interrim time of like 5 years and it would be orders of magnitude cheaper than keeping that system rolling.
oh, quite understandable. I do appreciate EVs when I’M stuck behind one at a traffic light for not gassing me.
The problem with your point is your reinventing the homo oeconomicus except for transportation. The underlying assumption is that if only the public transit (walkability, bikeability, what-have-you-ability) is good enough, people would not drive their cars.
And there’s truth to it insofar as you take something like Phoenix, AZ or something and just make cars more expensive it ain’t gonna do shit except fleece people. But Paris isn’t that, at some point you have to grapple with the fact that you also have to actively get people out of cars via incentives to do so because there’s a sizeable amount of people who are terribly, terribly car brained and will not change, because they’re not being rational about it.
I mean, much the same, but I’m kind of split whether they’re meaningfully better. Unless it’s smog smog I have some ways to avoid car exhaust, like not standing directly beside it, where I live even the law allows for that. I don’t put down enough watts to transport myself to a stable orbit.
But, just to be clear, this is me arguing against all cars, not pro gasoline cars over electric cars
One electric car is better than one gasoline car, because electric cars don’t fart toxic gases into the air where everyone’s trying to breathe.
Nah, the fart particles are still there though and those get worse with weight
Congestion pricing simply creates a penalty for people without providing them with alternative.
Are you seriously arguing you can’t get around Paris without a car lol?
Meanwhile, in the real world we must be concerned with actually viable change.
Real Zach Brannigan hours here on account of “It might get a lot of other people killed but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
You are inventing a fantasy reality to suit an anti car obsession. One I share, car reduction is good. However you’re being a tit now.
What part of this is fantasy. Like where do you see the political potential for a nigh nationwide road redesign.
All I’m getting out of this is further proof that the “general publics” sense of safety exists entirely removed from anything fact based
