So, I was dumbfounded by this recent exchange I had on lemmy, and feel it may be appropriate to share here.

Obviously, I do not condone or encourage any harassment of this person, I have blanked out all names but my own intentionally, in an effort to comply with this comm's anti-harasment rules.

This is also why I will not be directly linking back to the actual post / comment chain.

Mods, if this sort of post is not acceptable or properly formatted, I fully understand it being removed or being reformatted.

It's strange to me that this person defends the fake seat belt thing, but it doesn't occur to them to just plug the real seat belt in, without even wrapping it around their cargo, if the cargo is triggering the occupancy sensor?

These people drive multi-ton vehicles on the road, meters away from pedestrians, but they'd struggle with a crossword.

e: that point was made in the last image lol

It’s worse than you think, actually

Yep, you got it, that is when I became completely dumbfounded, when... they were unable to conceptualize that.
