If you want a scooter, get a bike instead. The bigger wheels make them more stable. -My Dad, not long before he was promoted to glory.

The video was from the Amiga version. Maybe you played it on PC. The sound was amazing, both the tunes and the SFX. I can highly recommend replaying it on an Amiga emulator, or at least watch the above video.

I already have (Yamaha MT10), but presumably that has the same problem that cars do (burning fossil fuels); also it's no good in shit weather (yeah I know that means I need better clothing).

Sure, but the challenge was "Don't use cars", not "Don't use cars where there is viable mass transit in place".

OK.

Question: how do you propose I get to work? It's 15 miles, there are no trains, the buses are far too convoluted and take about 2 hours each way (no I'm not kidding), and "move house" is obviously going to take too long ("hey boss, some rando on the internet said "stop using cars" so do you mind if I take indefinite leave to sell my house and buy a closer one?").

It's just a phrase. Like "how are you" as a greeting. Nobody who say how are you wants to know how you are or gives a shit about any answer other than "fine thanks! how are you". Just treat MBIC the same way, maybe invent your own responses, my sister in Buddha?

It does rather depend on whether politicians are there to enact whatever they want, or to enact the will of the people, and what they should do where those two don't align. You probably wouldn't consider it immoral for someone who doesn't drive to vote one way or another on a roadbuilding project, or for someone without kids to vote on a school project.

So I don't see why it should be a problem for a politician who privately supports a particular topic but represents people who don't, to vote against it; it means they're doing what they were elected to do and not acting solely in their own interests.

"they won't let the algorithm be sold and without it, it's an empty deal" I don't see how that's a problem. Obviously there's a great deal of knowledge about what "the algorithm" does across the userbase; just get users to raise tickets about what they miss and others to upvote them, then knock them off one by one. There's nothing magic about "users who liked post A also liked post B" or "company X paid us $1000000000000 so here's post C whether you like it or not". It might even end up being better than the original.
