When your expression of freedom gets in the way of my health, my gut reaction is that I need you to stop.

So, please record all sounds around me. For my own protection.

The government do a lot to protect you from yourself. You just don’t realise the extent of it.

Highways have traffic cameras all over the place for traffic control and spotting accidents, but it’s never bothered you before because you’ve never noticed.

Stuff being recorded isn’t the problem you having this idea that anyone is even remotely interested in using it to surveil you is the problem. You’re not interesting, no one’s watching you, no one wants to watch you, and no one is implementing clever conspiracies in order to get cameras in place in order to watch you more.

I wish they would install camera inside my hope as well. For added protection! I must feel safe, but I’m too scared!

British people are insane. Why are you willingly asking for more government intervention in your daily lives for such a minor annoyance. Y’all do realize they will eventually be caught using this to spy on people.

Fuck it. I’m tired of being woken up by the sound of machine guns and grenades.

Fuck this. Freedom has costs, a few seconds of noise ain’t a big deal

A single loud exhaust can wake up 10,000 people. The impact on mental and physical health if this happens a few times a night is immense.

Motorists had their chance to not ruin the world for everyone else, and they failed the test. Time to intervene.

I’m not saying that it can’t be a problem for some people but again that’s the cost of freedom people are allowed to make their own choices with what they purchase and what they do. if you don’t like that you are totally free to remove yourself from the situation any which way you see fit.

Your suggestion is that people experiencing antisocial behaviour that affects their health and wellbeing should just move to a new house? Where the same thing can easily happen again? And that we, as a society, should do absolutely nothing else about it?

Deranged take, worthy of a ‘libertarian’ teenager.

The freedom of one ends where it infringes on the rights of others.

Keep your noise to yourself dipshit. Get a life beyond your motor vehicle and stop inflicting your bullshit on the populace you inconsiderate garbage.

Freedom has costs: fitting a silencer or using a quiet vehicle is not a big deal.

I don’t really care what’s in their pants as long as fines are harsh. 20% net worth and also we take your bike away. That should do it. Maybe public spanking too.

20% net worth for a non criminal offense 😂 Alright, I want cyclists to be fined 10% of their net worth when they ride straight through stop signs, 20% for red lights!

I 100% support your sentiment, but please consider reframing away from body-shaming in the future.

It’s not even the engine. It’s the exhaust. Nowadays they even use speakers that literally play fake engine sounds.

Yes.

There was (is?) a bunch of tiny-dick halfwits rolling coal in Ashfield who would abandon their shitmobiles in front of the local Tesla chargers.

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
