Yup. I used to to think that future generations would look at our car culture the way we look at slavery. Destroying the planet for profit, comfort and laziness. Then the battery revolution happened and if anything the laziness got even worse.

Even vehicles that used to be prohibitive are now used more then the better option, like electric scooters, bicycles, etc. I see a lot more electric bicycles on the road now than proper ones. And most of them teenagers, so that’s not even the usual excuse of *it’s replacing a car " because they can’t drive, it just added more vehicles, just unlicensed ones.

But it makes people feel good with hypocrisy to pretend that they are doing something good, without really making any effort or sacrifice, except spending more money and consuming more.

It’s our idea of making a difference. Consuming.

That’s what I thought, but when I talk to these sick people they say they “like” the loud, horrible, scary, obnoxious sound. They do it because they feel pleasure with the sound itself.

If it was true, they would do it even if they were alone. They would drive to the middle of nowhere to enjoy their horrible sound without other noise. But they only do it in heavily populated areas. Almost if they are really just fucking assholes wanting attention.

What is the truth? I guess we’ll never know. I can only hope for the law to be changed.

But unlike you, I wish no harm to the machines. Only to the drivers. Machines are useful tools, even if loud. The drivers should lose the right to drive. If you remove their tool they will find another one to misuse.

The drivers are the problems, the criminals. Not the tool they use to commit crime.

Why the down votes?

A company removed your freedom, their founder even famously saying that consumer don’t know what they want but apple does, knowingly give up all their rights to a corporation when there are alternatives, declare that they trust the corporation, accept when the corporation forbids them from giving anyone else money, and now they are going to cry when the corporation fucks them? Like it did several times in the past and yet they remained loyal?

Apple users are insane… The only reason to use android is because it’s the only current viable alternative to apple. But they use their stuff out of some weird masochistic choice, and then cries when their daddy beats them.

They 100% deserve what they got while they keep rewarding apple for their evil behaviour.

And if I ever give Google money, I 100% deserve to get fucked while using it too. And it would be stupid to expect anything else.

It’s not the reliability of the sources. It’s the obsession. Even the website you complain about have non Chinese content. But you are 100% constant anti China posts.

China does a lot of bad stuff. Every country does. But why do you obsess with them so much?

I would really like to know. Because with no explanation it either looks like you’re being paid by an enemy of China like the US or that something bad happened to you and you need to seek help because you got some deep trauma.

I don’t think Lemmy is big enough for the US to pay someone to do propaganda. So it looks really odd.

Have you ever checked your post history? Did you ever even post anything that’s not about China? And was any of those posts against?

China sucks, but if you are being honest you have some really twisted mind to not realise your obsession.

That loud cars not only exist, but there are actually more of them than in 3rd world countries. That it’s a “culture” here, and people actually use their excess money to make cars louder, bigger and more dangerous to everyone else (not the driver, he pays extra for his safety).

Coming from a 3rd world country to Australia it was one of my biggest disappointments. I thought we had loud cars because we we’re “uncivilised” or didn’t have the money to fix them. I was so wrong…

There are many others, but I guess this was the biggest illusion I had about first world countries.

Is he getting paid for that?

It’s funny people down voting but even the “propaganda” website they mention have a lot of non China content, but this guy is 100% foaming against China as if nothing else exists in the world. If that’s not propaganda I don’t know what is.

I’m not a fan of China, but there’s much worse evil in the world right now like the US and Israel before his brainwashing can work.

Funny opinion from someone who is obsessed with only posting stuff against China.

I don’t know if the source is worthy reading, but this user sure is not.

Pretty much same. I thought it was a Zelda clone and got hooked by the gambling mechanics.

I don’t even know what the story is anymore. I just put in autoclick and check some times to see if the game needs me to move to another place for another 6 hours of talk.

I used to pay attention but it’s just empty sausage to keep the player engaged longer cheaply. There is no puzzles or game play.

It’s as interesting and addictive as a slot machine, but with 10 hours of torture between each pull of the lever.

Fucking cancer that still has me poisoned.

Every time I play I think “I should uninstall this garbage, this is not even a game, why am I torturing myself like this?”. Then I my addicted brain goes “oh, but there’s only x amount of primogems I need to get to try one last time to get this shitty character that is the same as every other one but with 1% bigger numbers. I already wasted so many months on this, I can give up now”.

It’s amazing how well they domesticated the human brain and that I let myself be controlled like that.

To call this slot machine, talking simulator, lollie masturbator thing a game is an offense to games.
