Yeah no, European tech wages are garbage. I also love cars, we have big open roads here.

I am a bit jealous of the autobahn though.

It’s odd to see people hate cars. How you can have no interest in driving or your car is weird.

driving my car includes:

  • paying money to put gas, oil, tires on the car for the rest of my life
  • paying some dickhead insurance fees monthly
  • sitting in traffic
  • risking getting a ticket from any power tripping cop who wants to make up a reason to test if I have a dashcam
  • risking getting injured/murdered when any other idiot nearby in a car does something stupid at 60mph +
  • if I do get injured, I get to pay for that too cause MURICA
  • a notable lack of anything fun and cool like open windy roads to drive on or safe areas to do donuts

now, do you really think most people like not having a choice about needing all that just to get basic life stuff done? 'Driving my car' isn't some fun hobby for us, it's a bullshit thing we're coerced into because our country was run by oil tycoons who hated public transport.

oh forgot one:

  • dealing with a generation of old people who have been permanently stunted by leaded gasoline, making them more likely to be stupid, angry, and violent.
