  • Someone needs to own a car still.

    And that someone can't be available every day when I need to do two school runs and an office trip.

    That someone can't always be available when the sink springs a leak and I need to go buy some new washers and plumber's mait.

    I really question your life experience at this point. If you're single, childless and living in a big city, sure, cars are very unnecessary. For most people this isn't the case

  • ...
  • It's a town of 90k people. The kind of town that the vast majority of people in the UK live in.

    Just out of curiosity how can you transport something large and bulky, that isn't allowed on public transport, let's say furniture, or the remains of a shed you dismantled or any one of a hundred inconvenient loads that occur during your life without a car?

  • Great, well I have a six year old that needs to get to his school which is about a mile and a half away and I need to get to work 20 mins after which is about three miles in the other direction.

    I then also need to do his pickup during my lunch break.

    Most people's lives don't work without a car because that's not the society that car ownership created.

  • The train doesn't stop at the recycling centre. Nor does it stop at my childrens' schools. Ditto my office, the supermarket, IKEA, the house of the person I just bought weed from.

    The layout of our towns expanded with the ubiquity of cars. Services agglomerated and became situated where land was cheap rather than central.

    Bikes and light mass transit have their use cases but removing cars is not feasible for the majority of households

  • ...
  • Hard to carry a TV on a bicycle, or transport loads to the recycling centre, or drop my kids off at school or any one of a thousand things that occur day to day.

    Our world redesigned itself with the invention of cars. Trying to exist without them is very hard for your average family, especially those who live outside cities.

  • The Folding of Japanese Swords: Turning "Crap Materials" into Masterpieces
  • That's the thing, though, European swords cover the whole gamut from ridiculously light foils to nutso zweihanders.

    I get that Japanese swords are the same and there are ridiculous nodachi and tiny little wakizashi but the difference is of size more than form.

    There's much more variation in European swords so it's hard to say 'the Japanese sword is better than the European one' because there's almost definitely a European sword specialized for whatever use case you're comparing the swords for.

  • In all 50 states, it's now cheaper to fill up with electricity than gasoline
  • My work does free electric car charging. I got an electric car in March and haven't spent a penny on charging it since.

    Over the four years I plan to have it before I sell it on, the lack of fuel cost is going to more than make up the difference in cost.

  • See?? I'm supporting togetherness
  • Big logical gaps in this argument:

    The op never said they were superior morally.

    Even, given the above, the op deemed chickens immoral that does not make all chickens' actions immoral. Preening, roosting and eating grain are not immoral activities.

    Defining only the horrible acts as horrible is a circular argument as no definition has been provided as horrible.

    Other than those three, you really stuck it to the carnist, chief.
