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.)

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

Genuinely don’t understand why this is being downvoted.

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.

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.

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.

I think this every single time I see news about that website. Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform? Insanity.

While the right one is obviously way better, am I the only one who thinks it still looks nightmare-fuel-ish either way and that some things just shouldn’t be CGI’ed?

Would be cool if the Technology community found literally any other topic to discuss beyond AI. I’m really over it, and I don’t care.

Sorry ngl you sound like you have shit taste in movies and are the problem when it comes to shit movies still somehow making money lol

Part of why I hate MAGAts/conservitards is when they say incredibly stupid shit like this. 6 million californians voted for the orange fascist in 2024. Literally only 19 states have populations bigger than 6 million. You hate CA, a place where there are more republicans than there are people in the entire state of South Carolina or Alabama or Louisiana, I could go on…

Seriously. I hate when people who have no idea how the law works start throwing around the Constitution. Like how is it “unreasonable search and seizure” for the government to use cameras to see who’s setting off literal sky-high explosives in their backyard? That definitely falls under the realm of ‘reasonable’ govt actions lol

Agreed. I think Amos can rightly be called an antihero, same with Miller.

But Holden is the archetype ‘good guy’ and everyone else is also unambiguously ‘good’ who occasionally do morally gray things for pragmatic reasons.

Such a great show (haven’t read the books (yet) sorry!)

Also, shut the fuck up about how cars are debatably more comfortable.

If it’s pouring rain outside, would you rather sit in a car or on a bike? If there’s a blizzard outside, would you rather sit in a car or on a bike?

Like shut the fuck up with your dumbass bad faith arguments. You just want to be right. I fucking hate cars, but they’re literally designed for a comfortable, air-conditioned sit.

God I hate bitches who just argue for the sake of arguing.

Your response proves you’re not from america and have no idea what you’re talking about 🤣 (americans don’t know what kilometers are)
