Like day 2 roadkill in the summer, right?

Mike Row Soft, fast and funny!

So, short version is “yes, with a but”

Didn’t Alan Moore end up going off to write his own comics, with blackjack and hookers, because he never managed to reconcile the constrictions of the big publishers with his own political views?

And you missed the point of asking what Captain America did to ensure someone like Richard Nixon couldn’t get elected again. Or Superman with Lex Luthor.

Of course there are other examples of progressive comics, but the mainstay superheroes aren’t seen leading revolutions or improving political systems. They’re working against change.

Superheroes fighting false information online would be nice. Or forcing public healthcare through government. Etc etc.

At their core, however, the classic superheroes work to maintain the status quo and support the existing power structures of when they’re written.

At no point did Superman or Captain America stop American forces from invading a foreign country for example, or overthrow a medical insurance company.

The popular DC / Marvel ones certainly do

Chill out, dickwad

Makes sense, European crash testing looks for different things and the e-NV200 was only ever passed as a commercial vehicle here so you couldn’t use one as a taxi.

They are well handy, it’s a shame.

A Nissan e-NV200 is what you want … I’m in Spain, there’s a few about. They’re basic work vans, good amount of space in them, easily fixable, etc.

Detroit: Become Human.

The demo gives you one level, playing as an android helper to the police, helping to solve a murder.

The full game really took me through the looking glass in terms of empathy. Can’t really say more without significant spoilers.

This seems like a great way to break out of one’s bubble and connect with people and the outdoors :-)

I’m 46, the parts of my life where I haven’t needed to use a car every day have been great for my physical and mental health … now I live too far from work I use a little 125 motorbike to commute, and it’s still much nicer than having to take a car. When I am forced to take a car, the one I have is small and economical.

I didn’t start figuring this out until I was 30, maybe you need a few more years to mature enough to throw off the consumerist mindset?

At 85 years old my Mum can’t drive or walk, she does her own shopping with an electric mobility scooter and occasionally needs the help of others … that works fine for her because she lives in what might be called a “15 minute city” these days.

Just walk in to the local shop on your way to/from wherever else you’re going (or just to get out of the house for two minutes if you’ve been working from home) … that way you can have fresh ingredients every day, and you’re walking a bit regularly so you don’t get overweight easily

I thought it was just funny that the term “walkable” for some people invokes the idea of using bikes

Wouldn’t that make it a bikeable city?

I live in Europe, not about to break out the bike to go less than a couple of km

Walkable city means taking a bike. Got it.

Wow, and I thought my car insurance of €170 was expensive this year!
