Cars are inherently reactionary.

In Parable of the Sower, only the rich drive cars and those are basically armored vehicles… Which Octavia Butler predicted in 1993. Still on track for that I see.

Behold, the eco fascist in the wild, promoting mass murder as a solution to something that can only be solved with cooperation.

Edit: There are extremely specific people who would benefit the world by ceasing to exist, and those people are billionaires. There are way to make billionaires not exist other then killing them.

Don’t look up.

Call me when they go full on 1970’s urban guerilla and start kidnapping and executing oil execs, blowing up pipelines, and robbing banks that fund the industry. I honestly would be amazed if anything less worked.

Then yeah, also congrats on not being American.

Oh, do you happen to have a military? That’s actually a big chunk of the reason Americans have such a high carbon footprint… That and an entire society built around making it almost impossible to live without a car.

“Direct action gets the goods.”

Don’t forget the cost of insurance. That’s the big one. If it stops being possible to insure fossil fuel infrastructure, then investments shift to renewables that can be insured. It’s pretty simple economic math.

Edit: that also works in all levels of the economy. Pipeline constitution vehicle get torched every time there’s a pipeline built? Uninsurable therefore reduce or stop investment. Cas in cities always get flat tires and vandalized? People won’t buy cars they can’t insure.

That’s correct. The reason it was there is that some games were written assuming a specific processor speed. When faster processors came out, the games ran too fast. The turbo button let you play older games on your new computer.

Y’all remember the turbo button?

I remember summers without smoke.

I keep being told that the canals used to freeze over and people would skate on them.

“Should we watch the show in East Coast or West Coast time? Or just watch all the episodes for the whole season without ads as they’re sending them to local stations?”

That’s also my understanding.

In the US it’s really common to have an accelerator.

Also eBikes in the Netherlands don’t have acceleators unless they’re illegally modified.

If I were malicious enough to design the system, I would make it a heartbeat. Skip too many heartbeats and your car bricks. It could be written in to the terms of the loan since companies are using in-car computers for repossession.

“Why is my car bricked?”

“Because you tried to disable our payment verification system.”

“I live in a rural area.”

“You’re like 1% of customers. Your loan contact says you have to drive within cell range once a month. Fuck you, we’re repossessing the car and keeping the money anyway.”

your car is bricked
