Exactly. I need you for one purpose: Teach my child <subject>. If my child sets fire to a car, it’s my ass on the line. If my child gets hurt, it’s me at the hospital. If my child has an issue, hiding it from me is less than useful, it’s negligent.

Until a kid is 18, they’re -legally- 100% my responsibility and how they’re raised is my call.

Yeah, I was going to say they just left a default alphabetical sort to their global droplist component and called it a day. Probably works fine in most contexts, but this one - not so much.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

I didn’t download this, but if I had, it would be because:

1. People already have cars and already need infrastructure, which is (in most cases) already in place, but requiring maintenance for safety reasons
2. It’s only zero-sum if you can’t afford both
3. Public transportation has a bad reputation in the US around safety, hygiene, etc. Not everywhere, some cities do a great job. Unclear where this meme is taking place.
4. I can cross state lines in my car, but not with a tram, making it less versatile - I can go anywhere I want, in fact.
5. I control the heating, air, music, occupancy, etc. of my car - Not so on public transportation.
6. I control my car’s schedule to the minute. No interstitial travel to get to it, no waiting for it to arrive.
7. Some people use a car as a form of self expression. I don’t, but there’s plenty who do.
8. You may have to share a seat with someone. Plenty of folks don’t want to do that.

I use Ryobi for everything because they’re affordable, I already have the batteries, and I’m not a professional, so they don’t get used every day.

There it is. It’s not about the data - it’s political.

I’ll try it. I don’t really care about data privacy very much and neither do a lot of other people until the data receiver is someone they dislike.

How much data is Reddit, Tumblr, Uber, Snapchat, WhatsApp, AirBnB or any other app getting? Who cares as long as I don’t hate their CEO.
