It really isn't. Having emotions is not weak. Pretending like you don't is weak. Expressing the emotions you have, processing them, letting them move through you, and moving on productively is not weak, it is strong. Shoving them down and the having them come out in other nonconstructive ways is not strong, it is avoidant. Allowing yourself to have emotions despite the judgement of others does not make you vulnerable, it means you are healthy and self-assured enough to support yourself emotionally.

Except that, E = 1/2 m v^2. You can't get rid of that m. All else being equal, lethality scales linearly with vehicle weight. The safety features that exist are still for the occupants; there are crumple zones for decelerating another vehicle hitting head on, not foam padding for protecting pedestrians. Some features of trucks are extra bad for impacts, but a heavy EV is going to be worse than the same frame with less mass.

Don't need legislation. Simply needed mechanical sorting. Place barriers only reasonably-sized vehicles can fit through without being damaged. Added bonuses: traffic calming, driver competency testing.

Since currently I pay for roads in my property taxes AT THE SAME RATE AS EVERY MOTORIST, this would result in a tremendous household savings for me.

Right? You don't need rights to take up arms against the government, and rights aren't going to fucking help you if you try.

Then why didn't you fucking tell us you knew Tenet and Poole were shopping millions of dollars of propaganda?? Why the fuck didn't you tell us???

Russia in NATO is a stretch, but okay, maybe.

Putin in NATO is absurd. I don't know how you can even suggest that should have been entertained.

weird whattaboutism. bit beyond a caasual "accusation", they've been officially indicted. I am sure that if Israeli propagandists had been indicted, you would hear about it.

Weird downvotes. Truth hurts I suppose.

Steel bands tighten around my heart. My knees knock and my vision wavers. But then I remember I'm not on Reddit, and metacanada has not yet replaced the moderation team with pod people.

What measures are in place to ensure the continuing security of our moderation team? If it won't compromise them to tell us.
