The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

The lengths he goes to to reinvent public transit but significantly worse just so nobody ever has to see a stranger are truly astounding

Anything and everything but standard mass transit. His hatred of it is disturbingly focused.

You will be atomized and lonely and you will enjoy it! Anything more is communism!

Individualized mass transit

agony-shivering

and the stemlords chearing in the audience lile theyre at a live recording of bazinga theory

He said the cost probably over time. So in other words it’s more expensive than a bus but probably over time it might get cheaper.

I was being way too favourable to him in my comment definitely by taking his figures for it, for sure he used inflated city estimates and depressed internal costs, not to mention the cost per passenger is still lower with mass transit even at low usage rates. The audience plant immediately asking if they can buy the vehicle before the rest can think 2 seconds about the useless stat he just spat out was timely too

I stopped watching after he used that word salad

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

I admire your restraint o7

gonna be so fun messing with these things

imagine going out of turn at a stop sign and watching it lurch around trying to avoid you

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

And no controls, not even for emergencies because of sheer techbro hubris.

There's no smart reason for that. It's just techbro flexing and arrogance.

The main point of concern with this is obviously Tesla's subpar hardware and software for the job… but also why make it two seats? Most real taxis have 4-6 passenger seats

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

but also why make it two seats? Most real taxis have 4-6 passenger seats

Because King Bazinga decided that would be so and no one that wants to keep their job dares to correct him or make suggestions to improve his bazinga genius ideas.

Also, he claims to care about children and families, but he really doesn't give a fuck about the practicality of having children (and a spouse that actually sticks around and doesn't hate you) while fretting with a two seat bazingamobile.

Fortunately. I don't want any children to get caught in one of those lithium bombs.

Just imagine the cringe stale bazinga jokes that Robert Picardo's voice would tell to passengers.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

Holy shit that was Robert Picardo!

Make it describe the plots of the Doctor's holonovels in exhaustive detail to the passengers.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I’ve seen videos of people walking up and vandalizing those self-driving taxis while a passenger is still inside them lol

Babe wake up, new pod model to revolutionize public transit just dropped

What a fine regulation-dodging liability...

I don't trust a computer to make snap judgement properly in winter weather or other non-standard road conditions.

Bazingas have been saying devout mantras like "this is safer than the human!" for years now already, too.

Working in delivery, they’re gonna have a blast when trying to automate the delivery side of postal work. Good fucking luck getting people to comply with box mounting requirements to the letter around here
