Mostly on Mastodon, but trying out Lemmy and enjoying it a lot.

Strong Jesus win here
Sorry about your dog. But your example only highlights a tabu issue in these discussions, the negative impact that having a pet has. They consume meat, packaged food, are driven around, attack wild fauna (cats especially) etc. Pets is one of the items everyone should cut, but they’re only becoming more common, like SUVs.
The person under an abusive situation easily loses the car key to the abuser.
Ambulances get stuck all the time in congestioned cities and that’s a problem.
A car should never be someone’s night shelter, that person is homeless in that case. Houses, not cars, can solve the problem.
Want to do a special trip where car is the most convenient option? You can rent one out. If you only use a car a few times a year, buying one is a terrible waste of money and street space.
As far as I know these anti-theft measures they demand are optional in Europe and you pay extra for them. If crime is low is not such an issue not having them. So maybe Chicago should bet on reducing crime instead?
The retirees don’t last so long (sorry), but overtourism is indeed a problem. Finding the right balance is the secret but clearly our politicians are not aiming for that… but in fairness, tourism was fantastic for many years to promote Porto’s renewal. But now it’s time to put a break on it but no one is interested in that :/
As an European I’m extremely confused by this news as well… so Chicago has a high crime problem and the city’s solution is to sue Asian carmakers? Sorry but this only makes sense in the US, I guess…
PS: maybe Hyundai should also sue Chicago city for failing to curb crime, a failure that leads to many car thefts?
You can buy very decent wine for less than 3€/bottle in any Portuguese supermarket 😅
Touched a nerve, did I? I would gladly ban horse trailers or leisure boats as well by the way. A small sacrifice to avoid human extinction. But yeah, blind selfishness will definitely kill us. Your petty luxuries are more important I guess.
“one parking space” is not a universal measurement unit, they come in many different sizes.
Japan is probably the cleanest country I’ve ever been to and you rarely see a bin on the street. Easily accessible bins promote carelessness with the trash you produce. If there are no bins you need to think ahead and plan how you’ll dispose of your trash.
It already is. The doubt is when will it “sell voluntarily” Siberia to China.
No, not all cars are created equally. Some require much more public space and some are also much more efficient at killing.
Try dieting and exercise, getting a monster truck won’t help you.
That’s clearly a residential area if someone would hit their cars it would happen either way… you’re supposed to drive slowly there.
So you want to dismantle the west, that is the most functional, equal and free region of the world and only then go after the “smaller threats” (that is f* Russia with its second biggest nuclear arsenal in the world, currently involved in a genocidal war to increase its territory, besides all the side conflicts from Syria to Niger). Just wow at your total delusion, that’s what speaking from a point of privilege is.
Businesses do lots of waste, I agree. But again, businesses exist because they have customers. Some people seem to believe that the climate crisis can be solved with taxes alone, but that’s not how it works. Huge changes on all levels are required.
How do you think those companies pollute? Are they burning fuel at Shell’s headquarters? Or do they have lots of customers who think their personal behavior doesn’t matter?
No you can’t. How do you think those corporations pollute? Do they do it for fun or because they have customers that feed their businesses? The idea that “heading corporations responsible” will magically solve all problems and that it doesn’t imply any change in your lifestyle is beyond naive. Shell pollutes because people buy and burn their fuel, they’re not burning it in their headquarters.
Misleading title. Brexit will not be renegotiated, it’s over and done with. The relation between the UK and the EU will always be an evolving matter (like the relation of the EU and any other country including its members), bit Brexit is done, the UK is out and that’s the new premise of any discussion and evolution of the relation.
