Like many, I have seen many accidents or near accidents from unqualified drivers

Can anyone explain how knowing English would reduce traffic accidents? Is it because of detour signs?

What does this mean? Michigan district 13?

NDP and Conservative leaders lost their own ridings.

The other article is why I posted this article. I thought it would be interesting to have both articles in discussion simultaneously. I was surprised to see that article on lemmy when I had read this article earlier that day. :)

I respect that.

Why? Economists ≠ capitalists.

Ah. I’m not especially upset or anything, I am just trying to explain the difference in terminology.

Economists think in terms of supply and demand. Saying it drives prices down or negative is a perfectly good explanation of a flaw in the system, especially if you’re someone on the operating side.

Makes sense, since I think it’s a lot better than the previous books.

I think most billionaires are not very visible.

I don’t think the existence of other one-hit wonders affects her status as one-hit wonder, but I’ll accept the argument that she wrote ~7 popular books.

No ethical consumption means: it’s hard to arrange for there to be clear alignment in people to boycott a particular entity, meaning many things that ought to go boycotted don’t. Therefore, when such a heinous person as Rowling or Musk arises that we can cohesively land a boycott, we ought to take advantage of it.

OK let me defend Cho Chang specifically. Qiū Cháng is a perfectly valid chinese name. It is pronounced “Cho Chang.” Cho would not be standard (pinyin), but Chinese people historically have not always use Pinyin to transliterate their names. (And I assume a wizard might not use muggle pinyin.)

ok so this is reminding me of “guns kill people” vs “people kill people.” In Canada we understand both are true. Drivers are a problem and carbrain culture is a problem and mental health issues are a problem.

Hmm? How so? I’m only talking about the Cybertruck, which is a recent thing.

are you in north america? You may have a different dialect of english than north americans. This would explain the confusion. We do not consider ourselves americans, because american is the demonym of the US.

ok but there is evidence now. For instance, the family has tried to have the perp checked into a mental hospital 2 dozen times over the last year

north america

I don’t forget that. I actually admired it when he launched a Tesla into space. Thought that was cool at the time.

Ah! Thank you again! Honestly in my mind I was thinking that “neurodiverse” didn’t make any sense. Okay now I’m interested to see what the next ‘that guy’ is going to say :)
