Why they never show this scale when asking about pain, I don't know.

I recommend switching to camera native aspect ratio, usually 4:3. You can crop later.

"High places cause suicide. High places must be eradicated."

the good of humanity as a whole

My headcanon is that the Borg in Star Trek began with an AGI with that exact main goal.

The keyword is "flatbed". Plenty around.

The keyword is "flatbed". They are well available. Mine is a noisy Whirlpool MWF 421 BL with a glass floor and door, coarse pulse width modulation fractional power (overheat and cool down alternating), and a grill that doesn't work at the same time with the microwave (heat first, then brown). I'm looking for a quieter one with inverter for real fractional power.

What is it about cars that make people into psychopaths?

I addressed that part in https://lemmy.world/comment/12449859

Or does it just bring out these things in already bad people?

I bet it does that too, like giving them any deadly weapon and personal armour.

What's wrong with drivers? Frustrated mammal instincts while physical venting is impossible.

• The feeling of wearing big heavy armour (the car) and being separated from others not perceived quite as human in their armour intuitively calls for extreme force in all interactions, but the instinct is frustrated by knowing any collision is expensive and must be avoided, the opposite of folkrace. (Imagine the stress and frustration if rugby armour was expensive and easily dinged and scratched, so the players would have to avoid getting rough, and if someone hit your expensive armour, it would suddenly become your job to extract insurance info or money from them while the game went on.)

• Being agitated by imperfect humans in traffic while not being able to vent the anger out through muscle action is frustrating - you have to sit stiff in place and keep the controls steady. On a bike you can direct the anger to your muscles and get rid of it. A stimulant crash (often anger) while driving in heavy traffic is extra bad and common after a day of stimulants at work. (When the power steering belt broke on a Volvo V70 I was driving as a taxi, it was nice, healthier and more fun to use force to make the car turn. Why don't car makers allow me to adjust the powering ratio when it's all programmable now? Why are cars and computers designed to deprive the driver and user of all exercise?)

I worked in a university traffic research unit (psychology and cognitive science angle) after being a taxi driver.

(This text editor is shitty and frustrating, and my Lemmy feed is poison, but luckily I can fidget and pace a bit here by the computer.)

Taiwan's official stance is such only because China’s Anti-secession law promises war if Taiwan changes its name from the old “Republic of China” (since 1911) to “Republic of Taiwan”. RoC was never affiliated with communist China (PRC), but martial law era ruling party KMT first threatened to retake China and then diluted the plan into “reunification” and cozied up with China. Taiwanese people never agreed with KMT’s hubris or sucking-up, which shows in voting results since the martial law ended.
