For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art....
I really enjoyed Oppenheimer and I’d say it’s highly rated because it is good and lots of people enjoyed it, however nothing can please everyone and there’s nothing wrong with that. You not enjoying the popular thing doesn’t make it bad.
It’s deadly in Florida because people drive around the barriers at level crossings. That won’t be a problem here because there won’t be any level crossings.
Having a place in history doesn’t automatically mean they should be honoured. There’s plenty of people from history that we can all agree have made a huge impact and yet we wouldn’t want statues of them.
Bad take. You couldn’t have pretty much any modern country without their previous problematic leader. You can learn just about them in history class and not honour them though statues.
The idea is for some users to pool some money together to buy ads, not for the platform to do it. I guess the idea is that as users, we benefit from the additional content that comes along with more users.
The first two series of black mirror were originally done for channel 4 in the UK, it wasn’t until after that that Netflix took over. I think that episode is great and much better than a lot of the newer ones, but maybe it doesn’t translate as well for an international audience.
The sentiment isn’t against her car use specifically, but more the infrastructure that makes one completely reliant on a car, and doesn’t give you the option to get the bus home after you’ve had a few drinks.
I don’t disagree with any of your points. I just also believe that this happens less when there is less dependency on cars. The driver is still at fault, but just blaming her doesn’t prevent this from happening again in the future.
Any time there’s an anti car stance to take, somebody will show up with some pedantic nit pick about times when they’re useful, and I don’t think it’s necessary to caveat the original point to try to get ahead of any of those people. It’s not the only thing to say about this incident but I think it is valid and gets the conversation started about how car dependency is involved here.
The original comment wasn’t even just saying fuck cars, it was a link to a community that discusses the types of infrastructural issues that allow incidents like this to happen. You say that this story isn’t about the infrastructure, but unless we talk about that, nothing will change and these things will continue to happen.
Comparisons are helpful to find which matches my preferences, and it’s helpful to know which phone will process the images in a way that I can get images I like without doing the processing myself.

Hard to comment on incentives without knowing what part of the world you’re in, but yeah they’re much cheaper than cars, less effort to use than standard bikes, and in cities can be the fastest way to get around a lot of the time.
Which city? Because for most of the densest I’d say 30 mins would be way to bother with a car, and if you’re actually living in the city you wouldn’t even own a car but maybe taxi makes sense for some journeys.
