I’m talking specifically about obeying the speed limit, doing a full stop at stop signs, etc. After receiving a speeding ticket for doing 53 in a 50, As an experiment I went a full day obeying all traffic laws 100% and it caused so much road rage.

I was going ten to fifteen over in the right lane on a major street and I literally felt fear for my life the way people around me were driving. People were raging at me for not running red lights! It was insane.
That study was in like central Amsterdam or Rotterdam or some other old European town with a city center that was meant for horses and people. It’s not applicable to like busy thoroughfares
We are starting to see for quite some time big tech trying to get the internet under their control. We have seen half of the internet starting to block proxies. Tor is not usable in the normal internet anymore. More and more services require a government issued id for their account....
Fascists are everywhere on that instance and they preemptively banned the leftist instance from federation. Lemmy.world is easily the most fascist friendly of the major instances
we have access to mastodon feeds, as well. we can also block entire instances. the default site works very, very well as a PWA, the base interface has more settings options.
It’s a bureaucratic nightmare to maintain the utopia tends to be the big flaw. And they’re ideological to a fault, but are also willing to look away while stuff gets done for them unethically.
It’s been fun seeing so much of Kirk this season, but does that mean he’s now a regular? I don’t see how he could take a position on the Enterprise for years yet, so would that imply he just keeps coincidentally visiting all the time? Starts to strain plausibility after a while.

You fucking evil dip shit. We raise those animals to die for our pleasure and you’re acting like they’re a houseguest who overstayed their welcome. Fuck you. I’d call you swine but you don’t deserve to be included in such good company.
One was by igg right? Don’t trust anything they package. The other one had a bunch of comments pointing out it failing malware detection and that it seemed to have a miner in it.
Meat is actually not a good source of protein compared to plant proteins. Meat was a good way of turning stuff we couldn’t eat into stuff we can, but now they just feed livestock grains anyways.
Everything I can find says that lentils have waaaayyyy more protein. Maybe it’s the difference between cooked and dry? The water is going to add a lot of weight and zilch protein.
Madeline: Science denial really grinds my metaphorical gears, and Flat Earthers are some of the most egregious about it. So manhandle them into strait jackets and shove them in the damn rocket already.
I’m just asking for recommendations in case, I feel like migrating to a smaller instance or maybe try kbin for a change (but I’ll miss the voyager web app)
They really, really are not - from a technical or social lens. I remember an admin coming into a conversation to shut down comments and telling everybody to be nice to the nazis we were dunking on, or else.
They’re Spez - cryptofascists posing as liberals to create a captive audience they can push into the right wing pipeline.

Defensive gun uses outnumber illegal gun uses. I should get shot? Wait for the police to never arrive because of my neighborhood? Wait for them to shoot me because they got confused and get a medal for it?
Y’all are really good (bad) at pointing out the problem but your solution always ends up being, “send armed goons into people’s houses to make sure they got rid of their property we don’t like.”
You know how many countries have a fuck load of guns and like almost no fascist death brigades? Fucking most of them. The fact that we have 1.1 guns instead of .6 per person does not, in fact, explain gun violence when the exact same percentage of the country owns guns.
“However, of the 86 countries where mass public shootings have been identified, the US ranks 56th per capita in its rate of attacks and 61st in mass public shooting murder rate”
