It’s the cars and their drivers who introduce mortal danger into the public space. They should ALWAYS be responsible for any damage, injury or death to vulnerable users brought upon by their use of their machine. No child, elderly human, pedestrian, cyclist, e-cyclist or e-scooter user should be held at the same level

While I loathe the "BUT I NEED MY WIDE ASSED PIECE OF SHIT TO FEEL SAFE" crowd, I will say the problem is rarely outright malice. It's more often distracted driving or even just straight up incompetence. People don't understand that a bigger and heavier car has a longer stopping distance and larger turn radius. And

Everybody blames the drivers because the drivers are at fault. There have been two fatalities this month in Cambridge because some jackass in a UHaul didn’t check his mirrors or use his turn signal.

Non-scientific hypothesis, but the personalities attracted to these kind of trucks are also more likely to antagonize cyclists, thereby increasing the risks for an accident to occur.

Drivers in the machines capable of causing death bear a greater responsibly to drive carefully.  They misbehave, they hurt others.

Just require CDLs for vehicles over a certain size/weight.

My most radical car take is that pickup trucks should only be available for commercial usage if they aren’t going to scale back on the size (which they won’t)

Haven’t read the article, but I’m gonna automatically assume that the already known fact of the high ass hood line is the root cause of all of this...

The “Black Noir was an evil(er) clone of Homelander” was always a stupid twist, made even more stupid by the fact that Homelander was still evil! Just less morally responsible for how evil he was. It was abjectly stupid. Then again a lot of The Boys comic was like that: snippets of clever ideas mired in stupid

Even the MAGA dipshits love it, despite being too stupid to realize it’s about them

Does this show actually have anybody organizing against it? Even the MAGA dipshits love it, despite being too stupid to realize it’s about them

It’d be a helluva thing if all the Jedi on Khofar got wiped out in the opening of the next episode and that’s why no one knew about the Sith surviving until a century later.

I mean, they don’t have to all be great. And I’ll be the first one to admit some of their stuff has been wretched- Book of Boba Fett and most of Kenobi immediately spring to mind- but I don’t really mind this one. It’s entertaining (in my opinion), at least.

How dare you come here with a reasonable outlook and intentions. Do you not understand the internet? It’s not a place for reasonable, rational discussion. But thank you for doing so!

same this is a fresh breath of air so far and i hope, and think, it will stick the landing. 

Lol it’s a Bikini coffee shop. The state of washington has a bunch of them, and you’re paying extra for the “show” kinda like how you’re paying restaurant prices at Hooters for Tyson frozen chicken wings. He knew exactly why he was going there, what the prices were, and what kind of establishment that was. He CHOSE

In before all the “culture war” nonsense comments- I’m enjoying the series for what it is.

Hit the nail on the head.

The fact that it’s a bikini/Hooters-style shop is KIND OF IMPORTANT TO THE STORY, WRITER. At least in helping readers realize that the customer is, you know...that guy.

The central question is who to assign blame when bad things happen. If we’re ready to let robots take the wheel, that feels like something we need to decide as a society, since the worst consequences are often paid by people outside of the car who had no choice in the matter.
