I can see why you call it disingenuous but the point of the matter is that children are getting shot. You can break it down into as many catagories as you like, the bottom line is that far too many school aged children are dying violent deaths in a world that has enough knowledge and resources to know what the solutions are to prevent it. The only thing keeping that going at this point is political fuckery.

Just send a photograph of your screen showing the requested password of 25 random characters so they have to type it out. Guaranteed their next question will be where they sign up for an account.

It would block it all the same if they parked in the spot. Assuming this person is handicapped themselves they must've figured "either I block the entire parking spot for everybody, or I block it only for those that need the loading bay area for a wheelchair lift."

I honestly think it's meant to be courteous and it does work out that way for some if this person's only alternative is to take up the whole space.

With a button you just press it to close the windows for a short stint of faster driving where having the windows down is uncomfortable. With a flange you'd probably be more inclined to leave them open because of the effort required to close them while driving. I think having your windows open even for a few short drives leads to more energy usage by increased drag than the window servo uses in the whole cars' lifetime. So I don't think it is any more environmentally friendly.

Exactly. If it didn't pay off these companies wouldn't keep shoveling money to Facebook and Google to show their ads time and time again. Marketing is expensive. If it didn't at least break even then nobody would be doing it anymore by now. Obviously it works, otherwise I wouldn't ever know what the fuck a squarespace or a goddamn raid shadow legends is.

See, this is the fucking problem right here. You are a commoner. The person you replied to is a commoner. Compared to the ultra rich anybody but that tiny tiny subset of people are commoners. As long as we keep name calling and pointing fingers at each other this shit will never change and we'll be rolling around in the mud until we all fry under the sun.

I understand your frustration, we all feel the same way. Let's direct that frustration at the people and the system that is telling us to turn on each other simply so we are blind to how we're all being played for fools.

I truly applaud your mental fortitude. I honestly had to stop scrolling through your info graphic after passing the malaria part. I simply couldn't take it all in at once. I will come back to it tomorrow and take in another chunk of it, I'll see how far I get then but I intend to take it all in albeit in bite sized chunks.

Keep it up and I'll be looking for more of your projects later if I can handle it. The world is truly broken but I'm a firm believer that eventually we the common people will open our eyes to it and enact change. I don't know how and I wish I knew how to contribute to that in some way even though I don't believe I have the power within the current system.

Thank you.

I was going to comment something to make some more fun of you, but nothing I can say can do a better job at that than your own words here.
