I wonder if retardedly ignoring design flaws is just a way to maintain sanity in a dangerously insane world, like immigrants who vote for Trump ignore that he's genocidally racist because acknowledging the truth is immensely disruptive emotionally.

Context: Posted a picture of my massive A-pillar blocking my view of the pedestrian intersection; one of the top voted comments was telling me to just look around it; another comment thought I wasn't first at the intersection. I started to defend my position and both instances started picking up spite downvotes.

Honestly, I thought it was reddit, but it turns out the world is full of stupid assholes. The only hope is nuclear annihilation.

Yeah, listening to a micromobility group agree that a massive engineered blind spot was a skills issue is more than I could bear. I'm already looking for the End All of Existence button as it is.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
