    The reason bans are permanent more often these days is because of the new Reddit ui. It defaults to permanent and too many mods are lazy.

    I am a-okay with the general tax being enough to cover everything instead of dealing with the headaches we have now.

    Which is why they are only allowed on specific roads right now.

    My goal is to get rid of useless vehicles, not the ones that deliver goods. And I don't think my city is going to lay track to every store.

    That sounds like a poorly written exclusion then. The goal here is to eliminate useless vehicles, not tax the shit out of a plumber for their van.

    Then close the loop hole that allows it and require certain bed lengths that would exclude most of the bro dozers with dual cabs.

    Then the price of everything goes up. We already have a solution to semis damaging roads. They can't drive on most roads unless their delivery is on it. Otherwise they have to use specific roads that were built for the weight.

    There would be lots of carve outs I imagine. The goal wouldn't be to remove useful vehicles from the road.

    If I'm wish listing laws then those vans would just be given to people who need them, or at least the mods would be covered.

    Yup. We can of course exclude semis, construction vehicles, and shit that actually serves a purpose. But it's the fairest way to tax vehicles overall

    Tax by weight. These things destroy roads so it'll be easy to avoid the "government overreach" yapping.

    Yeah I'll pay more in taxes for my fat sedan, but it'll be worth it.

    [Ahsoka Spoilers] I'm so sorry, fellow Star Wars fans

    I tried, I really really tried not to soy face when they revealed Thrawn. But it overpowered me. The sight of a book character being on screen overpowered my will, my mouth fell agape and I full on soy faced. I even kicked my feet a little. Like a thousand YouTube clickbait thumbnails before me, I collapsed under the weight of immense hype.

    PSA: Lemmy kind of has a mobile app for iOS

    I'm stretching the definition of "app" here but Lemmy appears to be a progressive web app, so if you click "add to home screen" in iOS then the icon for Lemmy will open up a captive web browser that behaves like any other app. It's not as fast as an actual app, but it feels very similar to using one. Most apps are just react-native these days anyway.
