Just switched over to the beta updates and that seems to have resolved the issue for me. Thanks!

As an American I didn’t even think of the automatic transmission. That makes a lot of sense too.

Modal transport design is probably a huge reason why this works. I would be interested to see the pedestrian deaths in a packed busy city like NYC vs the wide suburban roads of the rest of America.

My theory is that roads designed with the purpose of driving faster (designed with a higher modal level) are commonly placed within high pedestrian areas within the US (Stroads) and due to that higher modal mental state people are “comfortable” and thus use their phones as their brains are less occupied. While in a busy city street they’re in that 1st modal mental state so they are focused on their surroundings way more.

What happens is some kid gets a gossip app which takes their contact data and then uses it to send this shit.

I used to get it pretty often too when I was in school.

It also sucks if all the content is exclusively paywalled. I wouldn't know what is or isn't good without potentially wasting my hard earned money. I can't even afford rent let alone a series of patreon services. I support creators when I can, but I refuse to be a fucking product for simply being poor.
