Biking in the Netherlands, you regularly see people with different mobility devices riding in the bike lanes. That's because bike lanes are also for people with mobility issues. The "anti-car is ableist" argument is actually itself ableist because a lot of people with mobility issues actually can't drive either. Continued investment in car infrastructure vs bike infrastructure traps these people at home.

If you gave a shit about people with mobility issues you'd know how dumb that statement is.

Last year, my sister had her driver's license suspended because of a medical condition, but she's still perfectly capable of riding a bike. But the problem is our societal assumption of cars-for-all-whether-you-like-it-or-not means her neighborhood street design is extremely hostile to her getting around by bike safely, and it's way too sprawling and car-dependent to walk anywhere. There's also no public transit within a reasonable walking distance.

So I might ask you: Do you believe people like my sister deserve the same right to mobility as the rest of us? If so, why support a system that make life actively hostile to her and people like her? You act as if disabilities are a monolith, and that cars are only ever their saviors, as if cars are never the thing making life actively more difficult for many people.

You do realize that cars and car centric infrastructure make it harder for disabled people to get places right? You do realize that public transport is infinitly more beneficial to the disabled than cars are right?

What a pathetic attempt at trolling.

First of all, nothing I wrote was ableist and you fucking know it.

Second, you say that as if subsidizing cars isn't itself ableist, since there are plenty of disabled folks who can't drive and therefore rely on infrastructure that accommodates alternatives like transit and walking.

In reality, subsidizing biking doesn't affect the disabled in any way (except possibly to help them by encouraging better lanes and ramps that can be used by both bicycles and wheelchairs). In contrast, further subsidizing car-centrism very much hurts them and you damn well know it.

Anti-EV? The fuck are you talking about this is anti car dependance.

Yeah, I thought it was just over smooth, but fuuuck.

Look at 1st girls teeth in 1st pic. They get bigger from left to right, despite the camera angle. 3rd pic, normal size. Also. See the glasses bridge between 1&3, changes shape, weorrd spot in eye on 3

I got AI to generate an image very similar to a piece of digital artwork I did, based on a description. In the space of 10 or so seconds, it created something that looks much better than the piece that took me like 4 hours to do. And I think it really captured the mood and spirit of what I originally made.

I think AI can generate some really excellent pieces, sometimes it just takes a few regenerations and changes to your description prompt. Although it's not perfect, it's become pretty amazing IMO.

It's blatant corruption working perfectly as designed.

No it isn’t, it’s perfectly normal to have the rearview mirror on the side window

Because it’s cheap and ubiquitous
