@condret @thatbrickster Based harm principle enjoyer

I should start wearing a helmet

I think the same should be the case for seatbelts.

Why?

@thatbrickster @condret I meant legally mandatory since as far as I can tell they only hurt the person who chose to take that risk. I still wear my seatbelt.

I'm also annoyed by those newish cars that beep whenever they detect that someone isn't wearing their seatbelt (by measuring the weight on the seat and having contacts in the belt receptacle AFAIK).

@condret @thatbrickster Is that mandated by law?

@condret @thatbrickster If I ever own one I'm ripping out the speakers

@condret @thatbrickster It's a shame because EVs are much quieter and less smelly than combustion engine vehicles.
They just have to use them as an opportunity to decrease freedom.

@condret @thatbrickster I actually kind of agree with that because other people may be riding with you in your car.

@condret @thatbrickster they should modify it so it always thinks the seatbelt is in

@condret @thatbrickster I'm glad I don't live near you.

@condret @thatbrickster Oh, "as professional electric rc cars". I'm not sure what you mean by those and I've never heard them so I can't say if it would bother me or not.

That's a cool noise actually.
