Same same, i try to be aware of it and ground myself when i do catch it drift into just verbalising anxiety with no real benefit.

Especially when i should be enjoying reality instead, like during a movie, concert or hike

Imo its just a different thing.

Like, 1 or 2 here with sort of moving images like memories, sounds, conversations.

I still listen to interviews despite being able to make up convos in my head. I watch comedy despite being able to make up jokes and funny stories.

I watch movies despite being able to visualise whatever i want.

When i zone out, i can have full conversations with people ive never met in my mind while walking to work.

Basically flying blind through traffic, unless something relevant registers on my “conscious” mind.

Its about the ability to visualize things in your mind.

I’m guessing you’re somewhere in the right half? /jk

Not sure who would ever need an SUV, especially in an urban env. Most of the common ones have zero off roading capabilities either, so work vehicles are usually specialised.

Thanks for the link though, I’ll forward it :)

Yeah tbh there would be no harm in banning them. If you need a work truck, those are fine. No person in the world needs an SUV or an oversized pickup truck

Even the most reliable drivers overlook something, get distracted by something on the road or in the car. These features absolutely help more than they harm.

Of course not, what makes you think anything i said is even vaguely related to those negative cherry picks?

Is car manufacturing and design not tech?

Do impact detection, brake assist/auto brake, modern lane assist, distance detection etc not add to safety? I could probably rattle on

With the ever growing HEMA and reenactment scene, there are a bunch of really good forges/manufacturers putting out fantastic training equipment, replicas and custom work, sharp and blunt.

With our machining and material science I’d guess that a high end sword now would blow the originals out of the watee

Much safer now though. Traffic accidents are much less lethal nowadays (except SUV/Truck vs ped)

Yeah leaning on “tradition” or “conservation” when its just bigotry under the hood is a staple.

I hope my sarcasm was clear

Not really the same thing at all though is it?

Also bit of a weird constructed example. A faith like that can only lead to it’s followers taking offense or religious totalitarianism.

Which is not something I’d engage with so idk why i would tolerate something so intolerant.

The comparison is also kinda failing since one is a belief and the other isn’t.

A more fitting comparison would be ostracising someone for their faith vs insisting to misgender someone despite better knowledge.

If you’re trying to make an analogy here, that’s incredibly short sighted.

Forcing religious values down other ppls throats is trying to dictate their life.

“forcing” aka asking to be referred to with certain pronouns is asking to have your own life respected.

One is about having your beliefs respected, the other is demanding others to act as if they were part of your faith no matter if they believe or care.

I don’t mind them doing their thing at home, but I could do without them shoving their lifestyle in everybody’s face in public.

Self reports are going strong lately for european fascists. Hope more follow suit

So my solution would be to make a dedicated account, purchase a license on there, and hand it over completely to someone in charge at the facility.

If they don’t have someone who can take care of that for whatever reason, still make a dedicated account and restict apps/access rights via parental controls etc

I think that’s a good thing, especially concerning domestic flights.

Doesn’t load :(

I’d argue it’s less about personal pleasure of the act and more about driving votes by perpetuating an agenda that keeps the lower classes kicking down.
