It’s called a refund window. It doesn’t mean any money had time to change hands, it just means you reserved it and then it was returned before you were charged. God, this is like arguing with Trump supporters.

That’s beyond stupid. How the hell are people expected to react in situations? If I don’t look frightened the correct way then it’s performative? What and how was she supposed to do, exactly?

You are a genuinely troubled person.

Can you read? “during the refund window” The kids claimed to have paid for it first, which is clearly a lie.

Is it impossible to consider that your first impression of something may have been wrong? Choosing this hill to die on really undermines everything you think you are trying to fix.

This is the stupidest take of all. If that was the case, why don’t the teens simply print out their Citi Bike receipts?

Just for a second consider what a normal person (of any race) would do if a teenager or five (again, of any race) tried to take the Citi Bike you just unlocked. You’d probably shove it back in rather than just give it up, and then, crying for help does not seem unreasonable.

I have never used a CitiBike, but my understanding is that if you pay for it and then you (or someone else) shoves the bike into the stand within a certain time frame, then it is refunded. How does that mean that the teenagers had the bike first?

Dying makes as much sense as staying alive, but to bring others with you is heinous.

This place is becoming as boring and as hard to get into as heaven is in that show The Good Place.

Welcome to the greys?

The cops will surely interpret this law as loosely as possible, arresting anyone within a quarter mile who has a modded car and charging them as participants. “Spectator” can also be interpreted pretty freely.

Many of them are already stolen.

I never did steal my dad’s car, and it was obvious that he was vaguely disappointed about that. He told me the stories of how he stole his dad’s car so many times that I ought to have realized he was actually advising me.

Applause.

Seconded! I wouldn’t dare, though - I cannot accept a sample in a grocery store without picking up a bag of what is being sold, so I might end up buying a Vinfast just out of bashfulness.

Renault could always take over Rivian - the thing already looks vaguely French (but three times too large) and the logo is already done.

1st Gear: Sucks when Capitalism happens to you.

I am sure that if autonomous becomes good enough that people want it, it will find its way into Ferraris. But letting other people do the expensive work and taking all the risks seems wise to me.

Paying for the yoke is Tesla stanning equivalent to when people marked ballots for Saddam in their own blood back in October 2002.
