Fines should scale with wealth. Millionaire wants to speed? Okay, pay a $100,000 fine.
These same accounts keep denouncing tickets and speed cameras.
This is common conservative “Outgroups to bind, in-groups to protect” dysfunction. They’re bad people.
Cheaper if you ignore the externalized costs.
And yet the right wing is whining about moon laser climate control instead of this kind of thing.
I’ve read that if you want to kill someone, the best way to do it is to hit them with your car. The authorities will just be like “Oh, well, he was walking and you hit him what a terrible accident. Well, couldn’t be helped.”
Maybe Kraft has a murder fetish. Probably he’s just a scumbag, though.
This kind of false equivalence is kind of annoying.
Doctors and serial killers both cut people, but they’re clearly not the same, are they?
I don’t know how difference france is from the US, but I generally believe people are kind of ignorant and thoughtless. These will pull in people. People click on “Four things that are secretly unhealthy - #3 will SHOCK you” chum all the time.
This is an interesting point. They’re going to get the final search string though, so does it matter much if when I search “baked potato recipe” they also get requests for [baked, baked potato, baked potato recipe] (assuming they denounce/split on space/etc) ?
I started using recently. No complaints.
Does anyone know what you can put for the “suggestions API url” in Firefox? It’s optional so I left it blank.
Outside of like NYC you have a car. It’s a bad system economically, ecologically, and socially, but many people are kind of stupid and reactionary. You show them how putting in a bike lane and adding a bus stop will lower car traffic, improve air quality, and increase economic activity and they just go “no because I feel so”. Or, “one time I had to move a refrigerator so we need to prioritize large privately owned vehicles”.
I would prefer basic, subtle, black. I don’t want rainbows and lights. I’m very function over form.
I’d also rather play a game on medium settings where it runs flawlessly and doesn’t make the fans go hard, than at high settings with worse performance.
I’m just going to assume these are republicans and furthermore call them scumbags, hypocrites, and heretics.
Matthew 6
1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
I don’t know how anyone takes them seriously. They should be laughed out of the room and shunned by polite society. But there are a lot of bullshit “christian” churches peddling nonsense, I guess.
No one’s going to rally around creepy Mike Johnson’s corpse. No one cares about the guy Luigi (allegedly) shot.
Technically correct, the best kind of correct
Sometimes I wonder about if the US had stayed a colony longer. Slavery probably would have ended sooner. Probably have a better government structure.
I think they’re making a joke (what with the /s), but some people will say that since “Nazi” is derived from “national socialist” it’s a form of socialism. Usually people making that claim are arguing in bad faith and/or are grossly misinformed.
Even republicans don’t want fascism.
They don’t? How can you tell?
I read a book about startup stuff at the request of the CEO of my old company. Some of it was at least superficially interesting, but one part stood out as haunting. It casually mentioned how a “founder” at Zoom was trying to get money, and the investors thought it was a stupid idea. It was a “solved problem” that already had big players in the space. But they were personally friends with the guy, so they gave him a few hundred million dollars.
That’s not something to be proud of. Nepotism and bro-driven-investment isn’t the ideal.
But these rich assholes pretend they’re such visionaries. Gatekeepers of the future. Fuck them. Fuck them all. The climate is a disaster and they’re pouring billions into “Cats in the metaverse”? Crimes against humanity.
Dislike:
I want it to get to a level where you find the good stuff reddit used to have. Like niche hobbies, detailed analysis, etc.
I’m doing my part, I guess
Is that the thing that colors parts of the UI based on your background? Because I despise that.
I don’t want things to change color. I want the UI to be predictable and stable, so I can use it without distraction.
A metroidvania a la celeste, cave story, untitled story, hollow knight, nine sols, guacamelee? That’s a genre I like that’s pretty popular. Side scroller for that kind of game is well understood.
Well, the context used to just be there. Now it’s not, and this is worse.
