It's a fact that vehicles today are safer than they were 20 years ago

The difference in safety over the last 20 years is nothing compared to the difference in safety over the 20 years before that, and again in the 20 years before that. We've pretty much plateaued as far as (occupant) safety goes. We've somewhat regressed as far as other road useres' safety goes...

Yay capitalism, right?

Give credit where credit is due. Death race 2000 came out 4 years before mad max.

They know they're selfish, in fact to them selfishness is a virtue. So no, it won't help at all.

Cell phone mount would work just fine...

They are, actually. The point of patents and copyright is not to protect the creator- that's a temporary effect. The point is to release the thing to the public afterwards. The problem is that capitalism corrupts the process and finds ways to make the temporary effects permanent. Disney has succeeded in making copyright last effectively forever.

Well, the big ones anyway. The little ones use crystals.

Computers are easy, they just do math really really fast. The weird part is how useful math is.

I know you have blocked me, but for the benefit/detriment of anyone else reading...

So if it becomes common to use "blow" (or any other allusion to fellatio) as a way to convey disdain, does it cease to be homophobic? How are we not there already?

Right. So is fucking someone a bad thing? A good thing? Or does it depend on whether the recipient wants to be fucked? If we're using fuck as an insult, we're implying that it's bad, right? If not, then why is it different for sucking cock?

Yes, but does Plato have a YouTube presence? I think not.
