In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
If we were playing a video game and someone said you "owned me" would you assume that means I'm your property or that the person I'm paying with was just really good at something?
This could be any advertisement for drivers in south Florida. Where turn signals are pretty decorative lights you use for fun, where traffic lights and solid lines on the road are simply suggestions.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Well what else are you supposed to do with it
Surly you dont mean to imply that we should be collecting and hoarding it and ranking our status by how much we have accumulated?
Surly you aren't implying that there is literally nothing better to spend that money on, that all saving is hoarding, and that if someone of finite means saves $70K they should spend it on a luxury car with the intent of asserting ownership over public thoroughfares?
Obviously not, don't be daft
I'm sorry, do you not actually like when other people concoct the worst possible interpretation of what you said and then imply publicly through flawed logic that it's what you really meant? That's only something you enjoy doing to others? My bad.
But how can I show my face around my "friends" if my number isn't higher than theirs? I'd be the laughing stock of the country club!
Great! As if we needed even more assholes thinking they can behave like they own the roads…
Well, at least in my state, we ALL own the road, since we all* pay taxes. YOU get 1/5000000th of the road, YOU get 1/5000000th of the road !
So yes, you partially own the road, but SO DO I MOTHERFUCKER. Me being on a bicycle changes nothing.
*inversely proportional to net worth
When I cycle on the road, that lane is mine
I only ride where it's busy enough that a distracted driver can't run me down
Ugh, this really couldn't be more obvious. I guess that's where the USA's heading now, with their leader as role model.
And I mean the messaging, not the fact that this is an electrical car. Which came out in 2016. Although, "most awarded" suggests a few years later.
meanwhile rural people wondering what the fuck a "lane" is, is that the bit between meeting spaces on the road?
