It's odd to me that the United States Government would consider outlawing infinite scroll, but has not considered outlawing motorcycles, free rock climbing, cave diving, etc.
- ta999999171 7y agoAre the dangers as hidden?
- pmdulaney 7y agoIs hiddenness really the pertinent criterion?
- staticautomatic 7y agoYes.
- pmdulaney 7y agoI like that bold, unambiguous answer. But really, after you've encountered one or two infinite scrolls, how much of a surprise is it to encounter the next one?
- P_I_Staker 7y agoIt's not about the surprise factor, it's that there's a good chance you fail to process that you're being manipulated.
- DeckOfSardines 7y agoTruthfully I'm always more surprised that large American cities don't do more to encourage motorcycling.
- pmdulaney 7y agoA quick web search indicates that in 2016 motorcyclists were 28 times more likely (per mile driven) to die in an accident than those driving a car.
- P_I_Staker 7y agoSeems pretty irresponsible considering they're death machines. I had one in my blind spot on the highway the other day, and it was virtually invisible. I always manually check beside me too, I never trust my side mirrors. Literally couldn't see her. Luckily, nothing happened, but I don't understand what people are expected to do when they can't see you.
