It seems to me like you don't actually know what this community is about and you're just mad at the somewhat intentionally provocative title. You wouldn't be the first.

We don't want to take people's cars away. We want good urban planning so that not using a car becomes a viable alternative. If done right this also improves the lifes of people who still need cars for various reasons. If you live in a rural area you'll probably always need a car and that's fine.

I'm not sure what your point is. You come in here with this passive aggressive tone even though this community had nothing to do with the protest you're talking about. I get that it made you mad and you need a place to vent but this is not it.

Also, forming your political opinion based on the fact that some people made you mad is fallacious reasoning and very immature. Even if the protesters were advocating for the same points this community does, them being annoying does not invalidate (or validate) any of the arguments. Funnily enough, good public transport is actually the best and often only viable way to meaningfully improve traffic so you're acting against your own self-interest here.

Real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

"Preparation purist" is wrong. You don't boil the tea, you steep it in hot water. For some teas, like black tea, you usually boil the water before pouring it over the tea, but other types of tea use water that isn't as hot (e.g. around 70-80°C for green tea).

Also, if you actually want to be an ingredient purist, tea must be made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (or a closely related species).

How about actually tackling inequality instead of trying to hide it?

For a few seconds I was extremely confused why one would need a tool like this for the game Celeste.

Technically it’s an alphabet, not a language (excluding the keys with actual words on them and not just letters). The letters are called Tengwar and in the lore they’re Elvish letters, but you can use them to write in other languages like English. Even in universe they’re used for other languages like on the inscription of the One Ring, which is in Black Speech.

The reason why American cities are low density is because they were built for cars. Or destroyed for cars. But American car-dependent suburbia is not financially sustainable. Car infrastructure isn't just absolutely miserable, it's also extremely inefficient in terms of both cost and space. Self-driving cars or electric cars won't solve this. America needs to learn how to build cities properly again.

Slay the Spire is a great game that works well on mobile and has no microtransactions. I’ve played it for 400 hours (on PC) and I’m still not tired of it.

Edge also uses Chromium. If you want to avoid that then Firefox (including derivatives like LibreWolf, Waterfox or SeaMonkey) and Safari are pretty much your only options.

and there isn’t one near me.

That's exactly the problem that this community wants to fix.
