They could do nothing instead, but they have no power to reduce vehicle sizes.

Whike this is true they could loudly advocate the national government to change the laws and ban shitty US sized utes. They could also shout loudly about making those small Japanese trucks easy and tax free…

This also doesn’t address the problem, where it is an issue aren’t going to rebuild, not for decades anyway.

How is this not already a thing? The pavement is not the street, don’t put your personal vehicle on it I mean is it that difficult?

In Australia it’s illeage to park on the sidewalk (pavemnt) everywhere afaik(?) people do it anyway and enforcement is lax becase the outrage from car owners when it does occur occasionally means abuse to local govenerment who enforce these things.

I remember one article, some family had 7 cars (three adult kids, m other and father) and the entitlment was based around “where elese are we supposed to park our cars!”

We lived in a large medium density apartment complex for a number if years and there where forever people parked over the sidewalk on my walk to the shops and to be fair the local goverment did ticket them occasioanly.

On the plus side, we easily lived car free and rented our two assigned parks out to thirsty car owners ($80 each oer week) those fees covering our outgoings, so that was great :)

Neutral is the more offensive stereotype :) just means you are a conservative LARPing at being liberal.

It’s indeed an odd name but holding it back from what ? Its not a popularoty contest . Why is “widespread adoption” seen as the metric for success? That onky needed for shitty commercial products, to me it’s great right now…

He wants the President of the US to intervene in a traffic dispute ?

You’d think that would be enough of a res flag that no one voted for Murphy ever again.

Gen X here, we’re labeled the invisible generation for a reason.

That said I don’t really give enough fuks to be involved, the real fight is inequality, not age.

Sup bro?

I’d quit stop using Reddit quite some tine ago, mostly a philosophical thing. Saw on Mastodon mention about a Reddit (aka Usenet 2.0) like replacement on Lemmy so, here I am.

I had been using Boost on Reddit, so I grabbed that as well as play with other apps like Jerboa, Raccoon.

You forgot the last part, people will flock to it. /s

What if the person fleeing is a suspected murderer?

An innocent person you mean ?

There often is info missing near me on regards cycling but that gives me the opportunity to fix that when I get home :)

In my area the transport aithority has a website for that, so i just use that via Firefox mobile, works fine.

Likely more introverted and make the world a better place for most but Canada and Mexico might be in trouble. Eg here in Australia you’d hope we kick all the US bases out of Australia, which were a bad fucking idea in the first place.

The externalising of the shit show of inevitable consequence of being a dictatorship might be a neighbiir issue eg instead of just rhetoric about those damn immigrants, invade Mexico to sure up the borders. One hopes the rest of the world would rally behind Mexico, except perhaps like minded “bros” like Russia, Hungary, North korea, Vietnam, Camboida, Myanmar etc etc.

Tasmaina, Austalia here, gets to 23c around Christmas where I am.

I’d not live somewhere where it snowed, id not live in the tropics (I used to do the latter from being a kid until it got too much and I left)

You know you’re going to die right ? How do you deal with that ? Philosophically, Stoicism has some of what I need for coping.

I’d also suggest that journalism is mostly interlectual trash that clutters your mind. Really important events will find their way to you.

An example, I’m not an American (i did live there back in the mid 1990s, before I relaised it wasn’t for me) and I will likely Vote Green until I die. I’d prefer a livable biospbere and little better treament of minorities. Others prefer the opposite but their entreaties to get me to think their way won’t work so why would I bother listening?

Journalism isnt really about reporting “news” but selling advertising.

No,.well not noticeable for me, ths diffeeence is in the UI.

At Uni doing CompSci in the mid 1980s, we were told the likes of Cobol was dead, and we were taught Pascal :)

I don’t know what the problem is. Is it a lack of empathy? Is it willingness to swallow the bait surrounding conspiracy theories? I

I think it’s education, so many of us are now "educated ", this makes us confident idiots, a superb pinnacle of that example might be Linus Pauling and vitamin C for example.

If my hypothesis is correct, more education wont help.

Empathy is always lacking, just have to look at the refugee debate, its not new. Jews were turned away when Hitler sent them overseas, telling other countries to take then or he’d start killing them,

Japense interment camps in the US in WW2, slavery, endless wars prosecuted on other countries and participants lionised, it’s part of our makeup that’s difficult for most people to overcome,. I’d posit they don’t want to overcome it. . Then there’s the whole treatment of native peoples all over the world. US, Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, Russia and on and on.

The one thing that unites Demorcats and Republicans ? disdain for the homeless, again a lack of empathy.

If somebody you knew like a family member, partner or friend told you they had NPD would you still talk to them?

I’d tell then they should run for President of the US, they have qualities and traits a majorty of people admire…
