@nivex i am perfectly happy to just keep taking public transit so i don’t really have a horse in this race, but the vibe i get from my friends who are owners of older cars is that it can be quite an expensive business as it currently stands. as far as subsidizing cars go, the aftermarket parts sector is one of the things i would be less opposed to see community money go towards i suppose though
@nivex i suspect the answer to this is “no” less because of the actual number of cars in existence and more because of the amount of “change the shape of the pump slightly every three years so everyone has to buy *this* pump which we will stop selling in 5 years” shenanigans which have gone on
@wallhackio this seems like a bad plan on multiple levels
@wallhackio you didn’t have the sandwich for lunch?
@Lady i have seen the word cummed written earnestly but i just cannot respect it
comingle thoughts
@twistylittlepassages @titania @picklish they make a very big deal about how the point is to smooth out income spikes and dips by doing deductions/credits on a weekly basis so presumably that’s why they went for bank info (which is near enough to real time) instead of tax. but i don’t know that that’s enough justification to be handing over such a huge amount of data to a private, for profit company.
also very funny that their faq has a section like “do i have to fill out lots of forms to prove i need money” and they’re like “no! we will literally always be tracking you so we will already know” as if that’s somehow better
@kouhai it is difficult, when you have good but fragile stickers!
@hoja having been exposed to the untamed fandom i think this is a completely reasonable take
@kouhai i mean, or just lean into the whole “life is ephemeral and so are these stickers, my water bottle is an always evolving work of art” aesthetic
@kouhai some types of stickers are much better at surviving washing than others—bumper stickers / other stickers advertised as weatherproof are usually much better at staying on & not getting damaged
@hoja being slandered by my own wife 😫
@hoja i didn’t say that!!!!!
@hoja @wallhackio i mean technically none of my criticism was even about deltarune
@wallhackio that is good it would have been very sad if you’d overhyped it
@wallhackio does it live up to your full week of anticipation
@aschmitz oops i guess we were probably in that boat? glad you were able to sort out the issue!
@MissConstrue what a lovely project! i live in a city, so i don’t have the space for a full prairie garden like you, but i’ve been planting native plants in the median and the tree pits near my house and it’s amazing how many bugs and birds just those small scraps of green can support
