This feels like a joke GTA would have made 10-15 years ago.
Ecogecko does an incredible job of describing this phenomenon of suburban battle tanks in this video
the United States is in some ways becoming a medieval society, in which people live and work in the modern equivalent of castles—gated communities, apartment building with doormen and office building with guards—and try to shield themselves while traveling between them. They do this by riding in sport utility vehicles, which look armored, and by trying to appear as intimidating as possible to potential attackers.
:geordi-yes:
@aaaaaaadjsf isn’t South Africa like this quite a bit already? The worst income inequality in the world iirc and all the houses seem to have bars on the windows and sometimes even barbed wire.
Yes 100%.
The new place I moved into has exactly what you said, burglar bars on the windows (even though it’s a couple stories up) and barbed wire fencing. And it looks minimal compared to all the electric fencing and alarm systems around it on other properties and apartment buildings
Basically every rich suburb is a gated community now, though you’re still allowed to drive though, just get stopped at the gates for a few seconds. The poorer suburbs can’t really have that, so they have community watch/policing forums and stuff.
Ecogecko helped radicalize me and I’m not kidding
It’s a request that the emergency services not try to remove you from the vehicle.
Won’t need the jaws of life because your head is going to explode against the bullet proof glass and armored framing when you get tboned, because nothing is absorbing all the energy
Jaws-of-life-proofing your suburban APC
Slowly bleeding to death behind electrified doors to own the libs.
Love to buy a car that was designed by Kevin McCallister to stop the wet bandits
Electrified Door Handles
How can this be legal?
Follow-up question: is this function in any way accessible through the internet? It would be such a shame if some hacker made a bunch of America’s Swinest taze themselves :(
