  • Forcing someone to use a different form of media to get acceptable support for your product is pretty bullshit. If I can sign up for, pay for, and use your product for years without a telephone, I shouldn’t suddenly be forced to use a phone to get support.

    Even if that might be the best solution at this point, it’s still garbage and something to justifiably complain about, especially considering it’s mildly infuriating we’re talking about.



  • There’s a huge part of it that is because there’s no communication mechanism to resolve conflict on the road, really.

    If you’re stuck behind someone going slower than you want to, how can you clearly communicate that?

    Even in a world where you could clearly speak to them, there’s huge potential for disagreement there, and since the only communication mechanisms can very easily be construed as needlessly dangerous or aggressive, of course you’re gonna see frustration and anger as a result












  • The way out of it is improving all of the other parts of American life. Improve healthcare so we don’t have so many desperately unhealthy poor people. Tax the rich and regulate white collar noncrimes (and enforce the crimes) so we don’t have as many desperately poor people. Improve the availability of housing, reform the police, fund public schools and pay teachers a decent wage, idfk what to do with the media but that sucks too. Get rid of first past the post voting so people feel like they can actually enact change through their representatives.

    Virtually every aspect of non-wealthy American life is currently “in a crisis” as reported by the media. Further reducing the rights that individuals have is not the answer to there being a surplus of people past their breaking point.

    Looking at gun violence as a gun problem instead of a violence problem is shortsighted, when people have less access to guns than ever.
