Yeah this is exactly the issue - private car ownership is a huge waste of resources for 99% of people. They cost tens of thousands and mostly they just sit around deteriorating. We should take like 80% of all of the money we collectively spend on cars and reinvest it into public transport.
Do you actually miss being in online arguments all the time, Natalie? If so, I think the internet may have broken your brain a little. The fact that I hardly ever end up in actual arguments here on Lemmy is part of the appeal of the platform. Even when there are disagreements, both sides tend to just walk away instead of pummel each other into the ground. But I also tend to curate myself to only communities that are well moderated, so maybe I'm just not seeing the asshats.
She did a video where she talked about the rush of having arguments online and reading toxic trans forums. So, I believe her when she said that she misses that.
I'm overly opinionated. But, If i argue with people on the internet it's a proxy for arguing with people in real life. It scratches the itch and even wears me down a bit. Then I have more self control on picking battles with people I know in real life and dont want to hate me.
Is it a healthy comping meachniam to wear down my combative side using bigots and bots on the internet? Probably not. But it works.
She's described it as more addictive than heroin. And while normally I brush statements like that, I do think it's a valuable analysis when said by a recovering heroin addict like her. It's likely similarly destructive given that it's part of the spiral that led to heroin
She's not as left as I'd personally like, but outside twitter she's generally been exactly what I'd like centrists to be. I may not always agree with her ideas in videos, but they make me think and I can respect them.
Honestly I wish more of the left would look to her for an example of an effective propagandist. Her videos are entertaining and rather than being preachy she asks questions and tries to guide the audience through a path to the answer she found.
That and I like the fact she’s generally been open with when she’s changed her opinions or when she thought she’d been wrong about something.
I dislike on the internet when people have to be either perfect or discarded. I can disagree with some of what a public figure has said or done while still thinking they are — on the whole — worthy of admiration for what they have achieved.
Listen I'm already suspending disbelief a lot to hope the left actually try to convince people that we're right instead of sticking our heads up our asses because we know we are, let me pretend that her beliefs could be in the center /s
She repeatedly states in her videos that she's a liberal and then people get angry at her for being a fake leftist. I don't agree with a small segment of her opinions, but it's not as if she isn't honest with her audience. I wish literally any other liberal had her level of ideological clarity.
Yeah but if you open door youre gonna let fire out and it will fire everything around like a recursive fire effect. it's gonna make a fire, stop make up opinions without professional knowledge, i have been a fire engineer and fire researcher and fire P.h.d. since the paleolithic period (very long ago). what is a car

Neither. If I wanted my vehicle to drive itself I'd be on a tram.

Valid tbh lol
And anyways, if we actually wanted driverless cars on a proper scale it would be better to put wireless markers in the road to guide then anyways
But at that point just build a goddamn train

I know Natalie gets a lot of shit but sharing Contrapoints videos has turned a number of my friends into J.K. bashing trans allies...which is nice.
Also, I know of one guy who was helped by her incel video.

I'm not sure she's a centrist as much as a progressive liberal 😅

This is probably considered hate speech or something on Xitter since it's against their god.
