Recent 2hr drive in California: five or six cars were an order of magnitude more dangerous than any of the other thousands of vehicles. Incredible.

Speeding? Okay yeah people are gonna speed.

Racing at 90MPH for a quarter mile in the right lane to cut off a truck and get one car ahead, then tailgating until you can cut another big rig off? That has to be the cause of a decent number of crashes we see on the shoulder.

I’d try leaving speeders alone a while if it meant catching more of the tailgate->cut off->speed->tailgate->cut off drivers. (I know this is all been studied, just complaining)

Very interesting, malloc!

At the least it’s a good idea to review card statements and debited amounts, even if readers don’t set this all up manually like you.

@TrueWagner (Meta link warning)

Apparently they wouldn’t have been allowed to use that character name, except between writing the script and the studio approving it, the name had already been published by the press. So they had their community reaction to it already known, and the public expected it when the film was to be released.

lol thanks for the original original

Apple lets you do this with ebooks, then you turn off iCloud sync thinking it’ll just keep all the local copies you just individually downloaded…

nah deletes ‘em all

lol

You’re aight if you don’t click the disambiguation link

I think we can keep Pay It Forward, I don’t think I knew it was a film much less an abuser-starring film.

The concept is old, but the particular phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight. Robert Heinlein’s 1951 novel Between Planets helped popularize the phrase.

You’re a moron.

Made some good underlying points in there, said this business-tech degree holder. Guess things got a little heated in the moment?

Not bad to have a chance to borrow a Disney Lucas gif though 🙂 Am interested in responding to some of your thoughts.

That’s awesome!

I’m like @AugustWest@lemm.ee on the no-blocking-ever front.

None of us want Lemmy to be a Nazi bar, right? So if we see a Nazi on here and all of us block them today, they can circlejerk in a comment tomorrow and a newly registered user will see no one downvoted them or called them out.*

As a privileged person, I feel an obligation not to block anyone, and even feel I’m abdicating my duty a little by not browsing logged out sometimes to make sure Nazis can’t block me and spread hate without counterpoints lodged against them.

*would a “widely-blocked user” tag help? Not if they create a new account after every other post, & scummy users could mitigate by proactively blocking using “SJW user” lists, but it’s an idea

Are you running something special?

It would be interesting to display the flag followed by the country code in a parenthetical.

Hehe yes indeed now that you mention it!

Nice. Though my car can’t be in constant communication with a cell tower or anything (too creepy) so IDK what the next vehicle I’ll buy will be.

Probably time to stop talking like this? Transformed, reimagining, deeply integrating—and the breathlessness. ok next, marketing

I do imagine in a world of verifiably ethical, open source, local software, the choice to click five times in one tool or another would be viewed all but equally.

“Ethical” being probably the most important descriptor there. A local open source tool that only siphoned up public domain art from consenting artists? Why would that be a big deal?

Meanwhile if you hear that spirited away guy say he hates AI and then you see his art imitated by it, that’s certainly going to rub many folks the wrong way.

Raised a question:

How much longer until it requires a forensics team to determine whether a meme was handmade or of synthetic origin?

Well we can kinda only go when the signal is accompanied by another indication like slowing and or beginning to turn - “never trust a signal” eh?

Whoever came up with that deserves credit. Entirely lovely and harmless “superstition” as far as I can tell. No one is hoping for rain so they won’t be disappointed, but everyone has that line (“lucky it’s raining on your wedding day“ or whatever) ready just in case.

I wonder if there are other white lie kinda pro-social quips like that

Ya @cattywampas@lemm.ee let’s send them complaints on this

They gotta give us a way to watch adfree without spying on us

I get you, some comments are more natural when the story is a disappointing one
