I wouldn’t call it extremist…it’s usually reasonable policy protecting people’s privacy. It’s only extreme because it would severely cut into big tech’s profits and the USs surveillance capacity.
I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

No…no it doesn’t…where does your eutopia actually exist? Does it have a growing population center?
This is where someone says the Nordic countries usually…the problem with that example is the US is what…20-50x bigger.
You’re not biking across your state…more or less the whole of the US. You also might want to take a harder look at their cultures and see how they deal with no homogeneous populations…it’s not pretty.
Think about this…ever been to a large sporting event in a huge arena? Think of a sold out NFL game. The stadiums are designed to get people in and out quickly. Lots of people in a out quickly.
It’s a fucking disaster, every game, every time.
Now imagine doing that daily just to get to work. That’s what you’re proposing here.
Also, did everyone just forget about the pandemic we just went through? Haven’t we decided as a society stuffing lots of people in a small space is bad for our health?
Micro mobility is great if you plan on never leaving a 5 or 10 square mile area. The problem with that is the majority of Americas have at least 1 trip a month that’s 30+ miles.
No one is making that kind of trip with a micro mobility solution. Especially not in the heat and cold extremes we have now.
Might go something like this: Say you live in one of the suburbs of Buffalo. You might bike to a local train station, get off at the main terminal and transfer for an intercity train to New York, get off at Grand Central Terminal, transfer for the subway, get off, and bike to your destination. A transit system that integrates microbobility will let you bring your bike on the train.
So you just turned a 45 minute trip into at least a 3 to 4 hour one with layovers. Worse, you’re going to be exposed to the elements for a big leg of it.
This is likely bullshit, your milage may vary…but I though they used encrypted black berries. Its on a private network/vpn separate from civilian traffic.
It seems like Trump threw a fit about it at one time.
Yes, there was a news story about these people. It was 4 or 5 years ago. They were tying to get grants from our local government so they could continue to rent their properties so cheap.
They were playing themsleves off as a mom and pop that just wanted to help the community.
Ends up they owned something like 8 houses and 2 24 unit rental properties and were taking in profit on the rise in real estate all while getting grants for their good will.
The point is, landlords, by their nature, are not good Samaritans.
Using W11 today, that’s my first thought too…It’s just ad after ad for Microsoft services. You will fucking install O365 or Microsoft will kill a kitten.
Unfortunately, the centrist viewpoints are the ones you get when you sort by controversial on Reddit. But they’re there and oddly, they’ve usually got a few up votes these days.
Lemmy, or at least lemmy.world is ultra liberal. I’m liberal leaning, but if you disagree here you are smashed into oblivion.
I guess it’s good there’s not a general karma system here.
There’s a bunch of other studies out there that back that number…It’s always generally 20% can’t read at all…50% can’t do critical analysis of text.
It’s really ugly…Those people all vote, and I think it helps explain how the most vile ridiculous demons the R’s put out there get 30%+ of the vote. It’s extremely hard to refute lies when the person consuming and believing the lie can’t read.
You’re reading that article completely wrong…the numbers you posted are medians for upper income earners. The median US worker does not have 6 years of higher ed. I think only 20-30% even have a bachelor’s.
The median income in the US is 50k as of 2022. The 90th percentile is 120k-130k.
Those are disgustingly low for not having universal health or any social safety net like the rest of the industrialized world.
Just city to city is typically at least 150mi one way. Maybe on the southern coasts, if I was really a homebody, could I get away with something under 150mi range.
There’s no way anyone in Texas is going anywhere in a standard range EV for example.
That’s a terrible statistic…of course most of my travel happens around where I live.
If anything…that actually reveals long trips are more common than you think…For every 19 times you go to work or the store the 20th trip is significant…
In other words, if your number I right…Once to Twice a month the average person would likely require an extended range EV.

A 2 liter a day is still miles away from the amount you’d need to drink to reach unsafe levels.
I think you’d have to drink 3+ a day before you’re at unsafe levels if you’re 150lbs (and…well…if we are shitting on eating habits, 150 is a very light American).
Stop sexualizing everyone because of what you see on the Internet. They aren’t fucking in public.
The fuck…I was there. The furries in bondage gear playing with a couple of toddlers is seared in my head. HAVE SOME SELF AWARENESS…that’s all I’m asking.
others need a bit of distraction like a ping pong table.
That is never the answer. If your business isn’t retaining people because the party culture isn’t party enough…you’ve got way bigger problems…and it’s probably leadership.
I shrug…I like WFH…it’s me vs the machine and that’s that. I hated the forced corporate fun when I was still in that environment. It’s “collaborative”…no…no it’s not.
Sure…having Little John spin the company party was a neat story…getting paid 50k more and working in quiet peace is a better one.

Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
