  • Dad ran an auto repair shop for 40 years and his dad before him and I’ve had the pleasure of watching it all unfold. My dad refused to allow me to inherit the shop and told me to pursue a different career for my entire life

    Maybe it’s possible to make EVs that can be repaired, but just with the state of humanity I don’t think this is ever going to happen


  • You don’t actually own the car you bought, it’s impossible to repair via third party

    I think EVs only exist to bail out the failing car industry

    I also think fire risks are underestimated and unlike a normal car fire you can’t just put it out with an extinguisher. I live in BC and one day there’s going to be an EV fire on a ferry and the entire narrative is going to change

    I also think they are just plain boring. I hate modern cars entirely but EVs have such a numbed down driving experience that it’s just depressing. In the future I’ll probably just stop driving cars entirely. I live in a pretty bikeable area but the only reason I drive is because I simply enjoy driving my sports car over a bike














  • If the only time you send me a message is when you need something from me, you’re just an NPC to me and I don’t feel bad about calling them that

    Dude you’re talking to is onto something. These people don’t even do anything anymore. I don’t see them at local shows anymore, or hiking at the mountain. They’re not online on steam or discord anymore. They’re probably laying around scrolling TikTok like some NPC

    I think my “dead inside” descriptor in the OP is probably better than NPC though, regardless they are husks of their former selves
