  • It’s also pointy as fuck. Mobile guillotine.

    North American trucks in general are death on four wheels for pedestrians, cyclists etc. The tall vertical leading edges hit pedestrians in the hip and torso and then toss them under the wheels.

    In the EU there’s regulations about this stuff, designed to ensure that people are hit (ideally not hit at all, but you know what I mean) in the legs and thrown up onto the hood. Plus regulations about spacing underneath the hood to the hard engine components which allows for a certain amount of cushioning deformity when the victim hits the hood. Would love to see that sort of thing regulated in North America but not a chance in hell of it happening.


  • so it would not be a surprise if Reddit administration or spez personally decides to usurp those mod teams.

    There was some comment about “we’ll do whatever’s necessary to keep reddit online” so I think the implication there is that if high-traffic subs went dark for an extended period then he’d evict the mods and replace them with his yes men.

    Personally I think the subs should go dark for 3 days each & every month. You can still run a successful community with those restrictions but it’s a pretty visible signal to investors that hey your userbase hates you and is itching for the opportunity to leave your sorry ass.
