This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
All these children are invisible to the driver...
Fuck all those cars!!! Put them away to hell, not to earth. They are too big for all - except for small egos. But for small egos is therapy much better.
That doesn't invalidate trucks used for commercial or professional use, or the fact I'll still stand on.... hauling and outdoor use. It being rare doesn't make it non-existent.
I'm sure some idiot is hauling refrigerators with a Civic, it doesn't make them progressive.
It's not non-existent, but it's non-existent enough to justify most people not owning trucks and just renting them when needed.
I mean, if trucks were still like the 4-cylinder Ranger I had from the 80's, it would make more sense. But they aren't and it doesn't.
Then you have to pay the rental fee. What if I own a truck... and a Civic?
Is it the ego at this point or are you really riding this train?
At this point, I think that's projection.
Oh no! A rental fee! That must have made it so you couldn't afford to eat. What even is this argument?
So you own more vehicles than you as an individual need? I don't know why you think that's supposed to go over well in a Fuck_Cars forum.
Three of the guys at my shop literally go fishing about twice a month. They own trucks. It's possible. One drives a focus to work every day.
I noticed you danced around the owning two vehicles statement, very nice. I'm moving on with it since it's troubling you so much.
*shrugs
Projection.
Personal anecdotes without evidence are like the least effective way to prove a point, by the way.
Nice edit, low blow, bro, low blow. I didn't screenshot yours before you made it. I don't believe in being cheap.
The edit was made several minutes before you responded. Check it for yourself.
Finishing your thought to add more before someone else has responded isn't cheap. But it's clear you want to be a victim here.
Why don't you go back to being a crypto bro, it seems you're suited to it.
Fair.
You're still wrong about the truck thing, tho. Thank God you guys can't downvote me, I bet the urge must be painful.
In that case they need a commercial license and/or it's business property for taxes and the company should own it (if not a sole proprietorship). And you can't use company property for personal use most places.
Good Lord. Imagine living on 8 acres in the woods and you need a professional license to own a truck just to live, lmao.
No wonder none of you get it.
Then how do you stop the spread of these monstrosities to suburbs where the driver never uses it for that function? All I'm seeing from you is calling us silly for now wanting something the size of a fleet vehicle used on streets not designed for it and killing pedestrians they cant see. Atleast requiring some sort of inbetween grade of license besides passenger cars and everything else could curtail people who are not skilled enough to drive those vehicles or not motivated enough for a status symbol purchase. Rather than say we don't understand that people have some legit need and poo-poo us, couldn't you try and be helpful with ideas?
