Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

That lady, presumably, is one lady.
But imagine, for a moment, if satnavs had directed hundreds of thousands of people into this lake or that. Don't you think that would be a problem? Like, we put glass guards around whirring saws for a reason.
Yeah, I'm all for proper regulations on these things. Definitely a lack of guard rails.
My point was more about the reactions and rhetoric that emerged around that lady, but you make a good point too
