Thank you—that article (if you can call it that) was a fucking nightmare

Sorry for your loss but that wasn’t the question… My grandma died tragically, sad stuff, but has nothing to do with anything here. Trauma dumping like this is very strange to me. (Downvote me all ya want kiddos.)

This is who American Christians are. This is what they do. They only know hate: how to hate, who to hate, when to hate. American Christians have completely abandoned the bible’s teachings.

What “spaces on the left”? Where? Every social media site is either run by the far right for the far right or is like lemmy and is at best fairly moderate.

Comments like this prove lemmy is insurmountably better than reddit

You already said that on another post. Didn’t make sense the first time.

Huh?

Genuinely don’t understand why this is being downvoted.

I’m all for valid criticisms, but mediocre dialogue and one-dimensional characters? And your fave movies are Momento and Reservoir Dogs? The math ain’t mathing.

Like what you like, but I call bullshit. Logging this under “I said some controversial shit to stir up online discourse.” Enjoy my downvote, sir.

Lol bullshit. You’re either lying or live under a rock.

As a lawyer, this is very, very, very well-put.

Lived in STL and Chicago. Both cities are driving nightmares, but STL is worse for the exact reason you mentioned: predictability.

In Chicago, there are tons of asshole drivers. Probably more than in STL. But you know what they’re gonna do and where they drive, so they can be avoided. In STL? Another story. It’s not just that there are asshole drivers in STL, it’s that they genuinely don’t know how to drive on top of being assholes. (Don’t get me started on Missouri’s “driver’s education” requirements.) It literally is the wild wild west of driving.

I’ll take an asshole chicagoan who actually knows how to drive over a St Louisian any day. The amount of just driving through red lights is unreal.

Wow, really Lemmy? Fuck bothsidesism. Fuck horseshoe theory leftists. Democrats suck, but one side is way fucking worse and causing way more damage. Would bet my life OP sat out the last election and is the literal reason why we’re here in the first place. God I hate tankies.

You actually didn’t watch people get blown up live. The crew survived the fire blast—it was the crash into the water ~3 mins later that killed them.

I just don’t fucking care

Because the question was rate your childhood, and they made a very obnoxious answer of basically “no thanks, I’m too special to do that”

What fucking america are you living in? That might be true in some cozy suburb of Burlington, Vermont, but as someone who’s lived in Chicago and St Louis, the “Le Indians” reality is FAR closer to the american experience

Yep. David Mech is the one who basically coined the term “alpha wolf” based on an early study, and has since spent years of his career retracting that theory and explaining that male wolves do not fight for dominance in nature.

It’s like, is that law poorly written and unworkable? Sure. But social media is straight up destroying children’s psyches. The depression and suicidal ideation is off the charts among youth, and people can handwring all they want, but social media is and has been the problem. It’s not up for debate. Any law that limits social media use among kids is good by me at this point. Someone needs to do something, and I don’t care what their motivations are, I love seeing lawmakers hold these god-awful companies’ feet to the fire.

These deaths are policy choices by lawmakers who value ‘business’ over people’s lives. There is no justification whatsoever to licensing someone who drove drunk and killed someone.

This isn’t fucking hard. It’s simple: if you drive drunk and hurt/kill someone, you permanently lose your license to drive. Forever. No exceptions.

One of the main reasons people oppose these types of consequence is for business: people rely on cars to get to work, so if you ban a bunch of people from driving, employees can’t get to work, which is bad for business.

It’s fucking sick. I’m so tired of living in a country where lawmakers put economic interests over people’s lives every. single. time. If it’s ever safety vs money—money always win every time. On so many fundamental levels, government in the US moves farther and farther away from serving the people, this is an example of that, and I’m fucking done. We need new governments; we need a new social contract.
