“I have severe untreated mental illness and no grip on reality”
(Emphasis mine)
That is a vast oversimplification of how people work. It is absolutely plausible to me that someone might believe obvious lies but is otherwise qualified to drive heavy machinery. Analyzing the society you live in is a totally different skill than driving.
For example, if I found out my bus driver literally believes that reptilians run the world, I would still trust them to drive my bus because driving a bus has nothing to do with lizard people. Conversely, I wouldn’t trust a bus driver who agrees with everything I believe in but is currently having a panic attack.
This is important to me because I am mentally ill (treated, but mentally ill nonetheless) and autistic (which is treated like a mental illness), and this is the kind of logic that tyrants use to manufacture popular consent to further marginalize mentally ill people.

And I cannot stress this enough, nothing about this story has anything to do with Autism. Paranoid delusions are not a typical issue for Autistic people.
Agreed, but I am autistic and I have had this language used against me to argue why I shouldn’t be allowed to make my own decisions. I.e., it is a popular misconception and form of rhetoric that autistic people have paranoid delusions because we perceive the world differently. I brought it up because I’m arguing from my lived experience as a mentally ill and autistic person, i.e. I’m not just being an internet contrarian.
I did not mean to imply that autistic people typically do suffer from paranoid delusions. However, (at least in my view) we do suffer from neurotypical people believing we suffer from paranoid delusions.
encountering a vehicle like this and thinking “this guy just has different ideas than me, but is otherwise trustworthy” is not rational thinking.
I don’t have to find someone completely trustworthy in order for them to be an acceptable driver. Actually, I typically don’t fully trust the people I get in cars with. I only need to trust them enough to know that they’re not going to veer into traffic, they’re going to drive reasonably, and that they will take me to the place we promised to go. I think that the kinds of decisions that go into driving are completely different from those that drive a person to mark up their car.
Look, I understand the line you are trying to walk here
Yeah, I am trying to “walk a line” here and I think I understand where you’re coming from, so I’m absolutely willing to agree to disagree.

The guy driving this van is probably about as functional as someone in the middle of a panic attack. Very likely erratic and on meth I would not trust to drive.

I would have to talk to them first (or watch them drive if I’m in traffic) to see if that actually is the case, just like I would if the person’s car was clean.
So where I live if you have a disease, physical or mental, you go to a doctor and they decide if you’re ok to drive or if you need to pass an extra test first where you are judged if you’re able to drive safely with whatever disabilities you have. This is besides the standard driving test and written test. Also everybody has to take lessons with a professional.
It’s however not perfect because the government doesn’t have access to your medical records (which is good). But that means you have to be honest on a form about your disabilities. Plus the doctor visit is not covered by insurance and costs around 200 euros.
Plus if you already have your licence there isn’t really a system in place to prevent you for driving if your health declines.
There’s a big difference between a danger that is tangible and immediate, such as a collision with another vehicle, and something that cannot be seen or interacted with, like electricity or a virus.
There’s nothing about this that tells me this person can’t drive safely.
I just blink my nictating membranes at them and carry on with my powerful government job.
I hate it when I get benereal disease on my benis.
You must be addicted to dog
I’m glad I’m only addicted to cat.
Benerial desease is baginal
Only if you have a bussy tho
More of a badger problem imo
Benis :DDD
Fug :-DDDDD god benereal disease :-DDDDDD
t. FrostyGaveman :-DDDD
Benis = boy penis
21
take videos and photos of this truck and spread it on the Internet
This dude is giving mixed messages.
Oh you have a common beginner question. Let me clear it up with a simple diagram:
Removed by mod
Thanks. It all makes sense now!
I love crackpot literature, and this seems like high-quality content. Do you have sauce?
if you are addicted to cat and dog you have a nano chip on your body
so thats what’s causing it
I knew it. There was a friendly dog at a store yesterday that the owner let me pet, loved people! ❤️ Good day…
Okay but the real question is, can these nano chips run DOOM? Where can I find out how to jailbreak these bad boys?
I like that this person ran out of space so decided to create more space by tacking more material on the top of the car.
Brevity continues to prove it is the soul of wit
Plus brevity increases your gas milage due to less wind resistance
Dude clearly felt brevity was stifling his creative spirit though
Why does this read like english is this persons 2nd language, but look like it was made by someone for whom english is infact their 1st language?
At my high school a noticable number of students could barely read. They got passed through from a combination of parents trying to fire people if their kid is held back and teachers who either didn’t care or couldn’t spend the one on one time to help the kid. There was no functional system in place at my school to help kids who were borderline illiterate
Depending where this is, between that and possible mental health stuff English could be their first language
It’s tragic because a lot of these people aren’t just missing competent literacy but all the skills required to understand the world around them, and even worse often those ways of understanding have been replaced with religious nonsense by the people that raised them.
Imagine trying to make sense of the world when you think scientists work like preachers and prophets simply saying whatever feels right or suits the moment.
The B/V switch and a couple missing pluralizations make me think Spanish
Software developer here; this is 100% true. Computers were a mistake.
You know where you’re going to start your farm when you retire?
Someplace that’s cold and far above sea level (for now).
I don’t know if I should feel happy or sad because there seem to be other devs dreaming the same retirement dream.
He is right, I do indeed get incredibly irritated by computers
Imagine having to extend you car with plates at the top, because there is not enough room for you psychotic scribbles. Then leaving a shit ton of white space at the bottom.
Probably the computers fault.
if you are addicted to cat and dog you have a nano chip on your body
Huh.
Those aren’t fleas. Fleas don’t exist.
I for one appreciate the illustration. Without it, I felt like I was reading gibberish
Fuck yeah I’m gonna install Arch Linux^btw on my microchip
People like this think computers and electronics are magic.
i really wish we had a more robust mental healthcare system that could help people like this before they get to this point.
Do these people think they’re convincing? Do they genuinely not see how crazy they look?
I’d bet money it’s scitsophrenia, so no this person has no idea how crazy they look. They’re just doing their part to fight back against whatever the hell they think is happening.
the organ they use to check if they’re sick cannot diagnose itself.
