under communism everyone will be given an Edsel and it is the only car anyone is legally allowed to drive

Remember a month ago? That was two and a half years ago.

When Python 2.7 is fully deprecated people are just gonna release them into the wild and it's gonna be Florida all over again

@swampwitch69@godforsaken.website Could have been worse. Could have been The Smiths.

Cars are really the hill some people want to die on???

cold take 

Trying to fit "Person who doesn't drive" into a privileged/not privileged framework ultimately doesn't make much sense outside of further context.

A homeless person living out of a tent and a celebrity with a valet are both non-drivers.

An impoverished person taking the bus in Brooklyn is not "outsourcing driving to the poor" when the MTA driver is making an order of magnitude more than they are.

re: a potentially 🌶️ political thought 

@wigglytuffitout In some ways it is mirroring it and yet in others it's like, for some people, they actually don't have a choice to use a car.

There's like a mix of being on either the privileged side of the spectrum or the non-privileged side all using the same public transport system and as someone who outright is too terrified of getting a driver's licence because I'm too autistic to trust myself driving a car, I see that some of the silicon valley "solutions" to public transport are basically gentrifying a system that's supposed to be MORE, not LESS accessible to disabled people

I know these studies are underfunded, I don't have a better solution, I know the system is designed for this sort of outcome -- it's just that I've probably done a dozen or so at this point and it sucks!

Baby Yoda theory: Yoda actually ages backwards, as evidenced by his immature behaviour stealing Luke's food and going through his belongings in Empire Strikes Back

For several years, I had Popful Mail and Earthbound confused with one another, because there was an EGM end of the year recap mentioning both games in the same paragraph

Even better: it was at one point going to be localized as s Sonic game.

Starring Sonic's sister.

But gamers rose up and protested, saving us, for once, from Sega's poor decision-making.
