Vehicle design prioritizing pedestrian survivability is beneficial regardless of urban design, though admittedly an optimal design will depend on median speed of the vehicle.in pedestrian areas.

Return to retro 1940s rounded truck hoods is honestly an inevitable design shift at some point, as fashion always cycles, but the aerodynamics and fuel efficiency standards are against it.

Would cattle scoop style front ends save lives? The point would need to be crumply plastic for auto collisions, but i wonder if designing for deflection would legitimately benefit pedestrian collision survivability.

Lol, why

Ugh, yeah, I fought aurocorrect over it and lost in the end it looks like. Got it fixed up now.

Alibaba in some ways.

Nasreddin Hoca is the most popular Turkish folk hero

Anansi the Spider is a great trickster folklore character from the Akan in Ghana. I loved these stories as a kid and had a great book on tape.

Can’t go wrong with this list:

To build on this, it would be accurate to say that Anarchy is the principle upon which the technologies of Anarchism are built. Rather than a political system, which inherently function through obligation of participation or subjugation, the technologies of anarchism are participatory. That is to say anarchism provides methodologies of engagement between individuals and groups to achieve outcomes without obligation or subjugation which are imposed by the system, replacing those attributes of hierarchy instead with consent, participation, and consensus which are fundamentally voluntary and opt-in in nature.

Another way to say this is that Political Systems are means by which a group forces rules upon individuals, while Anarchism is a set of methods by which individuals can perform actions as groups.

Follow this simple rule for clarity, replace the names and ethnic background of the parties in question with A and B, acknowledge that A and B have historical conflict and are distinct ethnic groups but set aside their cultural characteristics and specifics. Now take the actions of A towards B and compare them to historical examples. Under jurisprudence there can be no a priori exoneration of any group due to historical factors, actors must be judged solely on their actions.

The ICC follows “The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part. It does not include political groups or so called “cultural genocide”.” And Israel is walking a fine line at the moment by claiming that they are exterminating a political group “Hamas” but their actions towards the civilian population will determine their guilt or innocence in the eyes of history and the international community. The ICC’s job is to collect all the facts that we civilians can not, and make a determination based on those facts. If you believe Israel is innocent, you should not worry as the facts will clearly exonerate them and so will history be written.

Maybe a Swiss Franc or Japanese Yen peg might suit them better, if they could buy enough volume.

Maybe Atlantis? Also maybe the fremen parts of Dune, though that again is more primitivist in some respects.

I’d say overall Solarpunk still lacks its cornerstone film.

Nausicaa is more solar/windpunk than Princess Mononoke, which is more primitivist.

Reagan cut taxes while increasing spending, despite talking like his goal was to reduce government excess. As a result, the national debt increase for the first time since WWII and has not stopped in that trend since then.

In some sense Waterworld qualifies.

Also Cloud Atlas in some of the settings, though a bit more primitivist

Nows your chance to upgrade to a hardwood board with no maintenance requirements. Eliminate strife on both ends.

4rm the indigenous!

I think my instance kbin.run may have it blocked from the all feed by default.

At least in KBin/Mbin instances there are magazines called “Random” by default that include an non-taghed microblog posts and threads.

Isn’t Popcorn time dead these days?

I played the heck out of TankPot back in the day. One of the best early games to have a high number of simultaneous multi-player, I think 64, split poverty 4 teams of tanks. Played through the browser, it moved around to different sites a few times over the years and now has its own dedicated site: https://tankpit.com/

Woah, that embed opens their entire Twitter feed within kbin. Also pretty interesting art style.

A movie called Sir Henry at Rawlinson’s End, extremely surreal British Arthouse. Like an opium dream from the brain of a fox hunting aristo, part comedy part stream of consciousness spoken word poetry. The gags, puns, and quips are truely monumental. It’s a gem, though not PC, you’ve been warned: https://youtu.be/N6W5RB50fXk?si=eYUlKqkTyyMvHz-Z
