I feel like I just stumbled upon a self projection loop.

Wouldn't conservatives want the opposite? More local governance with more personal freedom?

I do agree that the abortion should be pro-choice, but it seems like you're expanding it to be much larger than just this issue.

Unfortunately with the way elections are set up, it doesn't properly show the will of the people. A winner takes all for congressional seats I'd say generally push only the extremes to the forefront.

There should be ranked choice voting to allow a better chance for third parties and to have a better allocation of representatives of what the people actually think and want.

I'd wager there are daily goods that have far more exploitation than most people would be comfortable with.

But you are right in some cases things aren't necessities and could probably be limited or cut out. That being said, there's a morale / mental component too. For example, you don't need that chocolate birthday cake for your sibling, parent, child, etc., but it is still is considered very important. If it wasn't there, it could be considered a huge blow and/or insulting.

That sounds like ot could be a focused lesson. Why try to skirt around what the desired goal is?

That also could be placed into detecting if something is wrong with AI too. Teach people things to just help spot these errors.

In my experience, it's so much more effective to learn how to find the answers and spot the issues than to memorize how to do everything. There's too much now to know it all yourself.

The shopping cart one is better because it's literally just barely more time / effort. Fair trade stuff can be expensive compared to their counterpart. People in rougher financial situations really can't make that choice every time.

Looked at the image you provided. I can see your point about some of the sightlines. For regular commuting in most circumstances, I'll give you it. But that's the thing, you seem to be assuming a very specific circumstance and applying it to everything. You are trying to take a role of a general passenger vehicle for daily commute and applying it to a vehicle meant for work.

So yes, for regular commuting I'd say you are 100% right. But there are uses outside of such a limited scope.

There was a period of time where I was too lazy to re-hook up my main PC to everything. I just hooked up my Steam Deck instead via a USB C hub.

It was then that I realized I don't really use my main gaming PC anymore. I just play on the Steam Deck and almost everything else is just general use most of the time.

Since then, I found I still prefer to do some tinkering on a way the Steam Deck isn't very good at, so I been thinking of selling off my PC and buying a capable laptop to have that extra ease as I found I don't need the extra performance anymore.

You can't possibly know each person's reasoning on why they may need or not need a particular thing. Saying someone cannot get it at all will end up hurting the little guy. The person why can't go through all the hoops to get some random exception for their specific use case.

You talk about it being dangerous, doesn't every driver go through roughly the same certification process for that state? If you're problem is the quality of their driving, you should be pushing for higher standards for getting a license

You say they are wasteful on gas. Wouldn't that mean the owner would need to pay extra money out of pocket to maintain it's use? They are bearing the cost extra cost of ownership, so why not let them use it? For example, you are probably paying for internet. Should I be allowed to stop you from using the internet you paid for because I don't agree with your reasoning? No, and that's completely ridiculous.
