driving is the deadliest method of transportation per kilometre?
Driving is not the deadliest method of transportation per kilometre which it seems you missed.
Motorcycling is deadlier, horse riding is even worse and jet skis are the worst that I’m aware of.
Base jumping would probably be the deadliest but I’m not familiar with the statistics on it.
Social transactions aren’t the same as monetary transactions. I don’t know what you expected.
Studies on altruism are very interesting but almost no relationships are based purely on altruism from what I understand.
From a biological or evolutionary perspective, altruism is a behaviour that decreases the fitness or genetic contribution of one individual while increasing the fitness of another.
I would need a lot more deeply personal information on your relationship and history to answer that for you.
If you genuinely consider what you have previously brought to the relationship and what you’re bringing today I’m sure you’ll find some answers.
I knew someone would bring up children to try and debunk that all relationships are transactional but this is actually extremely simple.
A child’s role is to grow, develop and learn from their parents and society. Very easy on their part as it’s basically all automatic for them.
A parent’s role is to protect, provide, nurture and support their child. All easy stuff to understand.
If a parent fails they will be judged extremely harshly by society and end up with a child that has behavioural problems.
Historically the driving desire to have lots of children was so that some would survive and be able to provide for you in your old age. Still somewhat relevant but far less so than historically.
Turns out pre-modern agriculture the work required to survive was hard on the body and basically doomed the elderly who didn’t have a younger generation to provide for them. So not a problem resulting from capitalism as it was different but present under feudal and tribal societies.
We’ve seen what happens when parents fail, such as a child having an extremely abusive and controlling mother is a strong predictor of psychopathy. Basically all the worst serial killers you’ve ever heard about had abusive mothers.
The only way for children to fail on their end of the transaction really is to die or be severely disabled. When they’re closer to being adults that dynamic changes and some people, both child and parent, have great difficulty ‘renegotiating’ the relationship.
Having children with severe disabilities is devastating and I won’t go into that right now as it’s a massive topic by itself.
Oh and I had a pretty good childhood and am on good terms with my parents but thanks for taking a pity swipe at me lol
The first step is to understand that all relationships are transactional. Not a single human relationship is unconditional.
You start by making yourself useful, pleasant and interesting to be around and people who understand and accept the “deal” will reciprocate and most of them will be reliable.
There are no guarantees so it’s also a little bit of a numbers game. More is better to a point… usually about a dozen close relationships is optimal.
It’s just a closer and more intimate version of the broader social contract. Break it and suffer. Maintain it, nurture it, and benefit.
Learn what you can, and are expected, to bring to a relationship (be it romantic or otherwise) and work on improving what you offer.
All human relationships and communities since the beginning of time have relied on this transactional nature of relationships.
Anyone who says otherwise is blindly naive or misunderstanding what any given individual can bring to a relationship.
I don’t see how any of that relates to the white washing of African people’s involvement in enslaving and selling other African ethnic groups but go on
We don’t recognise any non-white responsibility in any form of slavery here
I see you’re a fan of dark humour.
Do you know what morbid jokes and human rights have in common?
Some people don’t get them.
No seriously though this is the best crashout I’ve seen in ages, please keep it up.
Not at all I think it’s hilarious, please continue being a clown
Cissies lmfao 🤡
So not judging billionaires? Feels like your statement was a bit too broad
Hungary should be expelled from the EU for this behaviour and be hit with sanctions.
It would save everyone a lot of time and money.
Why do you think it is unenforceable? Australia already enforces a ban on these dolls and arrests anyone attempting to import them.

The people interested in these dolls are serious risks to society.
I would rather see every single one of them locked up than let a single child be harmed.
What an astrology karen thing to say
That statement sounds so MAGA.
Not a statement, it’s an observation.
Do you always start out by straw manning a persons political beliefs? What an oddly blue haired ring nose wearing gay anarchist thing to do.
Its a joke, not a dig at blue haired nose ring wearing gays. Anarchists though…
The U.S. has always been a huge melting pot of different peoples of the world.
The US is not unique in its diversity amongst OECD nations and this behaviour stands out.
If someone wants to let their cultural freak flag fly, who the hell are you to judge?
Who the fuck are you to stop people from commenting on this uniquely American oddity?
You don’t tend to see this behaviour in other OECD nations which is why its so weird.
It is a uniquely American thing to harp on about their culture… that they’ve never lived in.
What’s your RAM situation looking like?
You expect everyone to just have a neutral opinion of every country and the majority views of its citizens?
I don’t care if an individual in Russia is ‘good’ because I have no way of verifying that so I block them from everything.
Chances are high that if my project/blog or whatever helps a Russian it’s someone who holds very different political beliefs so I would rather not.
On the flip side if you’re training, licensed, sober and not riding like you have a death wish the stats aren’t anywhere near as bad.
And those are all factors you as a motorcyclist have control over. I’m also a motorcyclist and I used to spend a lot of time crunching numbers on the stats.
I’ve recently been debunking claims that motorcycle fatalities have skyrocketed in Australia. They haven’t, we just have more riders and the stats are being misrepresented following sharp reductions during the covid lockdowns.
