My car makes it slightly difficult to change lanes if I don't signal, some resistance on the steering wheel and a warning beep beep beep that I'm "drifting." There are some terrible roads around here that confuse the sensors so I do a bit of steering wheel arm wrestling now and then just to keep going straight.

That is why I turned lane assist off after a dozen false positives that felt like the car was going to steer me into danger with no benefits.

Parking assist got turned off when parking in a garage set off a cacophony.

It was when I was holding leftmost lane position passing a semi and it beeped and tried to steer me into said semi that I decided it can fuck off for ever lol

If you own a house with nobody living in it, you gotta pay rent to the state each month for the privilege of keeping it empty.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 2 months ago

They do this in India. You're allowed 2 homes, 3rd onwards you have to pay Income tax for deemed rent received if it's empty.

Motherboard front panel connectors should be officially standardized. These fucking things have been basically the same since the 90s, but we still have to line up all the individual wires instead of having one plug.

Oh, and fix RGB headers while we're at it. They're the flimseist fucking thing, and you shouldn't be able to use a 4 pin plug on a three pin header.

The more properties you own, the more tax you pay on the price of the next one - excluding if you only own one, but escalating quickly after like 3 or 4.

Linear housing, quadratic taxes

This is so obviously what needs to happen. The fact that it hasn't says everything you need to know about current governments.

Any and all type of marketing completely banned.

I think you should be allowed one sign on the building itself and a listing in some sort of directory and that's it.

This is probably the best thing about lane assist on modern cars.

When changing lanes without a turn signal, the wheel resists a bit.

I have actually seen people I drove with be annoyed by it. I absolutely love it, because it is only annoying if you don't use your turn signals.

It's such a lib solution. "Let's make sure guns are inaccessible except to rich people".

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

That's part of the original joke, and also why the idea falls under "dumb".

All adult sex work should be legal across the board. Anyone, of legal age, should be allowed to not only sell their services but they should be able to pay taxes and be allowed to unionize and collect benefits from any organization they work for (brothels).

A lot of the people in this world who are messed up in the head just need to get laid, and those doing to dirty work should be celebrated and rewarded for their efforts. I genuinely think this would make the world a better place.

If you brake check, the car will eject you through the sunroof. If you don't have a sunroof, you do now.
