  • Thanks for clarifying :)

    I guess the filter is looking for non-woke stuff? Whole lotta cuss words not filtered there…

    Gonna guess things the n word, the b word, the r word, etc will be what gets the filter.

    Should I switch to .world? It was borked when I went to create my account so I went with .ml, and I didn’t really expect to see any functional differences like comments getting filtered :)

    Ok God damnit… Someone fucking explain the shitty ass chat filter to me please? I don’t know what was removed from dudes comment, but I’d kinda like to know if anything will get me banned before I go fucking around and get settled in here…

    Sorry bud, not picking on you personal or anything like that, just a FNG from baconreader trying to sort shit out ;)

    Edit- not a single “removed” here? I got the word removed removed from another comment…

    More edit- yeah that word lol… Can I get banned for bypassing? Like if I say b***h? Can I get a warning or some shit here please?


  • You don’t have to die anywhere ;)

    It’s got merit, and quite a few US insurers have similar programs, either via an OBD port dongle or through an app. My wife has an app on her cell phone that monitors her driving, and mainly cell usage, and frankly, I think that specifically is a hell of a good metric for safety these days.

    I like it as an incentive. I DONT like it as a matter of law or policy, for previously state reasons.

    You don’t gotta die on any hills though, I come for the simple discourse and don’t consider disagreement to be hostility. I just got removed resting comment syndrome or some shit I think ;)




  • Lol… First they came for the people doing 20 over, and I don’t drive 20 over, so I said nothing. Then they came for the ones doing 15 over, and I don’t do 15 over, so I said nothing…

    You’re talking about applying fees and profits to people deemed “less safe” by some arbitrary measurement, and assuming that said fees and profits will never be applied to you because you meet what will be the likely initial standard, but you’re assuming the arbitrary measurement will remain fixed… And it absolutely will not.

    The thing is, the revenue you’re suggesting as an incentive to avoid those behaviors will become a documented and budgeted source of revenue for someone, somewhere, and if your pie in the sky works, and said revenue reduces because the roads get safer, the people who’ve budgeted that revenue will be incentivised to tighten the restrictions to regain the revenue loss, all in the name of safety, of course…

    Of course, you have nothing to worry about if you’re willing to comply with the increasingly restricting goalposts…
