Kids shouldn't have to carry blue candy buckets on Halloween to indicate autism. Kids don't have to wear some kind of indicator in order to get free candy. If a kid doesn't say "Trick-or treat" so fucking what? Here's an idea, don't be a ginormous twat-waffle who expects children to perform for you to get a 2-inch candy bar. It's free candy day. If you wanna make children jump through hoops for you, just shut your damn lights off because you are trash. Everybody gets free candy. No costume. Free candy. No talking? Free candy. Too old? Free candy. Parents that look exhausted from walking 16 miles for $20 worth of candy? Free candy for them too! This world is a total fucking dumpster fire and the idea that a kid on the spectrum has to hold a special plastic pumpkin to be treated like a kid on Halloween is garbage. Just give everyone the free candy and shut the fuck up.

@ealing_of @BikeMayorHfx have you ever looked up the rate of traumatic brain injuries suffered while biking vs walking vs being in a car?

@MartijnFSnl @MIOHSP i wish my brother in law was a coward like you. he’d probably still be alive. but the driver who was supposed to care was probably changing the station. maybe something more distracting because they didn’t even notice they hit him or else they’d surely have stopped right?

[JL @jurvis]

@MartijnFSnl @MIOHSP you were right to cower on the side of the road as a child. the adults behind the wheel didn’t care then, they don’t care now. the authorities charged with training them and holding them accountable want us all to join them in robot car armor or stop pestering them by existing

The problem of too many cars isn’t just about the tailpipe. And altho EVs seemingly address that issue (or “move” it, depending on the electricity source), their increased weight, and the potential increase in size & distance driven (due to #JevonsParadox) make EVs “complicated.”

@EdwardReep where’s the line? how many people will you sacrifice on the hood of your altar?

@ArthurBoreman you should be ashamed of this lie

[JL @jurvis]

@DoomerVon my mom was pre-approved for a full hysterectomy in 1992. while recovering in the hospital, the insurance company sent a letter stating they had discovered she was treated for fibroid tumors while in the military in the 70s and denied all claims for the “pre-approved” surgery

@Clasinski @dhulser @KNXBaird @knxnews kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2. which vehicle do you want to roll on you in the crosswalk?

[JL @jurvis]

@JerryTurin @mateosfo you sound like the driver who put me on the hood of his car while i was in a crosswalk. the driver was so focused on turning onto a one way that he only checked for approaching cars. in short, may $deity have mercy on your loved ones who will suffer from your windshield pov
