Gregory's Serveri don't want $3500 vr headsets to pretend to go places or $50000 cars to run minor errands. i want reliable public transit and to be able to walk around a city without dealing with random injuries from people doing the first two things

@BikeCurmudgeon that's like another level of ultra premium society that might have to wait for another lifetime @forpeterssake @h_thoreson @h_thoreson I would add a third item: A moron wearing a $3,500 VR headset while driving a $50,000 car. 🙃  @LMNOChris @h_thoreson don't fret, us Europeans are working hard to become the next US @h_thoreson @h_thoreson Also, I'll take bicycle and motorbike-friendly locales. Honestly for the family and small business owner, the Honda Cub and successors is the most popular motor vehicle ever. It really is a family vehicle (and the only one we own, as a family of 4, is a 2005 Honda Wave 125i). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Super_Cub and successor Honda Wave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Wave_series @h_thoreson It is almost like social media companies have decided that we should never leave our houses. Are we turning into an indoor civilization?  @h_thoreson this is why we need civilian ownership of heavy armaments. If everyone potentially carries an RPG, drivers will be much more careful!
:comfyevilplot: @h_thoreson it’s not either/or. I’m an avid cyclist, but I live in a city where cars rule the transit culture. We try to ride as safely as possible, but we know where we are how to manage the risk. The existence of VR / augmented reality won’t change any of that. And cars aren’t going anywhere. Change is slow and difficult.   |

How about the ability to feel safe running errands on a bicycle?
