...aren't people generally not allowed to disturb the peace or otherwise inconvenience other citizens on their own, or public, property in the process of securing their own? A siren that is rather likely to go off for false alarms and is loud enough to be heard by unrelated people in their own homes really sounds like it's only allowed via double-standard.

It's still possible to avoid the worst of it. There's still good games that don't do many, or in some great cases any, of the shite shown as negatives for these games. It's generally Indi games that avoid these practices while the so-called 'Triple-A' publishers shovel out shit laced with price-gouging tactics and expect us to be thankful for it.

Not really, this is to subvert crash regulations. These are legally considered light trucks and as such aren't subject to the safety and emissions standards of vehicles that are legally considered to be cars.

Ah, yes. The Orphan Crushing Machine.

This is how propaganda works, they bill taking away your freedom as itself being freedom.

Same as with many other things like billing a fundamental rejection of your country's founding principles as 'Patriotism'.

What really gets me is that we used to do better. To nab a quote from NJB 'America wasn't built for cars, it was bulldozed for them.'

Considering after the Civil War it wasn't uncommon to convict black men of... being black (seriously no crime listed, they were just made criminals because they're black and now you have to be a criminal to be a slave) in order to continue the whole institution of slavery I would expect the 'at some point' figure to be much higher.

I'd love to see the whole of the American Dystopia reduced to ash and bad memories.

You can start by becoming a worker's cooperative wholly owned by the workers. This would be a preliminary step toward earning the kind of trustworthiness that would be needed for me to have even the remotest consideration that talking to you could help.

Thanks! I'll go take a look.

I'd love to see a study on automotive crash statistics by region highlighting the predominant brightness range of lights, shape, size, and color of turn signals, and difference in scale of vehicle used. It'd be nice to have hard data on how much damage is done by designing for aesthetics rather than effectiveness.

Essentially every aspect of our modern dystopia is a call for revolution. This however is special, not just a call for revolution but to ensure the perpetuators of our dystopia are properly punished.

Yeah, you don't get 'hard-coded credentials' from some bug. This had to be intentional.

Honestly, at this point the only China/USSR bad talking pointthat comes to mind that I haven't also found in the USA is bread lines... in no small part because the government here doesn't care if you starve. If you want help jump through the hoops and be used as part of scarry statistics to demonize the poor.
