In Australia we have automated ticket cameras and it’s really not as bad as you seem to think. You literally just do the speed limit and then you have no problems. And doing the speed limit is as simple as looking at your speedometer and doing what it says. You’d be doing that anyway to make sure you weren’t more than 10-15mph over, right?
Most cars have slightly different speedometers so the cameras aren’t so sensitive, you can go a couple of km over with no issues.
We use automated speed cameras here in Australia, and mostly everyone adheres exactly to the speed limit. Just knowing that there could be a speed camera keeps certain people law abiding.
If you do get a fine erroneously you can contest it in traffic court.
Desire to look hot as fuck and the associated confidence boost.
I’m a woman and the standards for men really upset me as well. I would 100% support any man who started wearing a kilt to the office as a way to fight the norms.
I read the other comment a woman put here and I get what she’s saying, but I did also think she was minimising how much men are completely discouraged from any sort of self expression in clothing. Although also to be fair, I don’t work in an industry where there’s an expectation for women to look pretty so men can ogle them, so I probably just don’t have the experience to feel as strongly about it.
I guess, we should all fight against the injustices we see, and help each other against the ones we can’t see.
Oh wow, was für 'ne Überraschung. Ich könnte es wirklich nicht glauben. 😐
Honestly, yes. Building shared community also means forming bonds with people who we don’t like or don’t understand. People don’t learn to change their views when they are shunned by others, they actually get worse. It is better for everyone if we keep things cordial, and attempt to understand each other. Perhaps the lightness with which they take these topics is a coping mechanism or attempt to protect the mind from painful things. I think we can all understand why someone might feel that way, even if it is the wrong thing to do.
You don’t have to be friends, obviously, but I think being friendly is good, if you can at all manage it. Don’t hurt yourself doing it though.
