How do I word this without sounding like a dick?
Have you watched how people walk? They shamble, they stand on escalators (not the idea, folks!) and so on. These people drive. They look at their phones as they drive. They speed. Many of them are passively suicidal.
I'm not the only person I know who has crashed a car on a kind of death wish in the past. How the fuck are cars legal? Should be as bureaucratic to drive a car as it is to fly a plane.
E: oh and by the way, people cross the street to avoid cigarette smoke. Fair enough but like, are you fucking kidding me?
I had a cousin die before I was born because of cars. One time I was walking in the park and a piece of shit in a landstalker entered without slowing or using a blinker, it was my history teacher at the time.
I find it hard not to think you have to be a terrible, irresponsible parent to let your kid play outside now because of all the cars, how reckless people are in them, and how common these stupid oversized pieces of shit are.
They used to have PSAs in Australia about not locking children in cars in summer. Seriously. If there's one thing we do well it's PSAs against doing things that in a rational society one wouldn't even be able to do
