that’s one way to get a leg up

Of course you can’t predict the future, and neither can motorists. What you can do is ride at a speed reasonably slow enough that you can react to people, and you can ride on the side of the pathway further from the doorways.

And like I said already, a bike on person accident at slow speed is favorable to risking my own life or life-changing injury by riding in the street.

If you’re trying to change my mind, stop trying. For anyone reading this, petition your local government to build safe bike lanes with solid barriers and we won’t have to have this argument.

so the only case these apply are when the cyclist isn’t paying attention to their surroundings… which is the real reason it’s dangerous, and when you eliminate that, I would rather have bikes passing next to people than cars passing next to bikes, because the latter is actually deadly when someone does make a mistake

Baseless statement, elaborate

It’s not more dangerous for pedestrians because I am aware and respectful of them.

So tell me exactly how it’s more dangerous for me to be on a further-removed pathway, protected by a curb and other objects like light posts.

Honestly a music platform is one of the only places I would actually welcome targeted ads. Where it can analyze my taste and suggest new music accordingly. But instead they just promote the highest bidder which is always lame pop music.

it says nobody has observed electricity, only to later mention lightning…

He hated twitter for how effective it was in spreading awareness on progressive issues. Him and all the other billionaires want that platform split up, and it only costs him $44b, a fraction of his net worth.

And?

i have said and will continue to say that 4chan has shitty “humor”

Musk is intentionally killing twitter confirmed. First he tried to tank its value and retract his buy offer but was forced in to the purchase by the SEC. So now he’s just playing the long game by killing it step by step with his own hands.

True that many countries may find themselves lacking to the USA. Americans meanwhile don’t compare themselves to anybody, completely ignoring all the countries which are leaps and bounds ahead of us in terms of social justice & public welfare.

State should not have the right to pick and choose like that. Textbook way of taking away people’s liberty.

Go outside dude. “America bad” is not based on reddit, there are millions of citizens out there who have real issues with the way our country is run, real activist groups doing protests and trying to spread awareness.

All you have to do is open your mind to be able to see these problems (instead of downplaying issues like mass murder) and listen to the people who feel they’ve been disadvantaged

And America can’t be bothered to build safe bike lanes. I refuse to ride my bike on the road. Anyone who doesn’t like me riding on the sidewalk can fuck off

true though except sad movies just make me feel bad

I have a habit of scrolling during downtime during the day but I don’t have an attachment to lemmy specifically. One thing I like about this app is how mundane a lot of the posts seem, it’s not overly exciting and doesn’t cause tiktok-style dopamine addiction.

All forms of social media could be argued as being addictive to some degree but lemmy IMO is relatively harmless. Though there is something to be said about rage farming, many of the posts seem to be negative or anger-inducing in some way, but it’s not bad compared to many other platforms. And of course there is the ability to filter your feed by blocking certain communities but the personalization in that regard isn’t as good as reddit was.

I don’t mean to say all asian people look the same, my statement was overly simple. I can usually tell people of different ethnicities from eachother but it seems chinese people look more similar to other chinese people, japanese people look very similar to eachother, so on. Not suggesting that the entire continent looks the same, and of course there is genetic diversity, but my observation has been that diversity shows less visually among their more homogenous groups/regions

im gonna wait at least several months until it goes on sale. and that way all the good mods will have already been developed

don’t buy launch day, and don’t pay full price, wait for reviews

its impossible asians just look the same

(not true im exaggerating but i definitely feel like there is a lot more genetic homogeneity and they just have more similar features)

i mean if you think about it godzilla is just ancient mythology except not ancient

in other words its a perfect name
