Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Back before college I did a lot of long distance cycling. I'd ride on the side of the highway for up to about 120km in a day.

It was good until one day some jerk decided to illegally pass on the unpaved shoulder, running me into a ditch.

So the physical separation of sidewalks is also a nice thing for safety. Pass on the sidewalk if you dare, but at least you've got to hit the curb first, and even most jerks won't do that.

That's poor logic, since it could be applied directly to bikes and cars. "The roads are for cars, not for riding a bike. Yes a crash at 50kph night not sound like too much but it can still be deadly if the cyclist is hit wrong."

If 25kph is too high, then make the speed limit on bikes slower, and cyclists must dismount on busy sidewalks. They separate pedestrians and motor vehicles for a reason, and they reason applies equally to bicycles.

I didn't get my license until I was in my mid-20s, and so I have a lot of sympathy for cyclists.

But man, I don't care which vehicle you're in, nobody likes the two vehicle types sharing the road. Cars and bikes are different things. Even Cars and motorcyles are different things, but at least a motorcycle can usually out-accelerate a car.

I'd prefer cyclists be allowed to stay on the sidewalk as long as they're not going excessively fast and not running into anyone.

Like 36 countries go "oh sweet, reduced tariffs"

It's going to be like the Dare program. Within three generations they're going to legalize the rule of thumb.

"we just love law enforcement and we just hate insurrections!"

1 day later...

I kinda like it...

It's something almost nobody realizes: You can't go back. Even if you were to have a baby boom starting today, the kids who weren't born 10 years ago will never be born.

I find the concept of leasing missiles to be absolutely hilarious.

Tfw people who want the government to run everything meet the government running something

Hell mode started it's anime this week. Only 12 episodes, hopefully it's good. Still one of my favorite LN series.

The electric chair is obviously for helping exercise weak nerves by forcing them to conduct electricity instead of being lazy and sitting there all day long.

The fehrenheit scale was developed in the Netherlands around 1724. It was supposed to be the coldest thing they could easily reproduce in a lab (ice salt water) vs. body temperature, but they set body temperature at 96 instead of 100 because being able to divide evenly without decimal points for dividing up scales on his thermometers was important back in the day, and got the measurements a bit off so body temperature is 96.8.

Metric was a product of French nationalism, they wanted to produce their superior man for the future in part by having universal weights and measures and making it based on fresh water rather than salt water. Prior to that, pre-modern France, like the holy Roman empire beside it, was a loosely amalgamated variety of regions with their own laws and customs, which nationalists wanted to standardize. They also standardized language and more. Modernism at work.

So really, it's about two measurement systems made by neighboring countries fairly close together. Since the French revolution occurred after the American revolution, it's just a matter of which European standard they went with, and in a more disconnected world the Americans generally standardized on the older standard that was already the English standard since they weren't immediate neighbors with the Europeans anyway.

With a fully semiautomatic SUV which we all know was originally developed as a weapon of war.

Protip: Many of the countries leftists claim they would move to if Trump won the election require ID to vote, including Canada and every country in the EU.

To me, saying that investigating fraud is "white supremacy" seems to suggest that only white people are capable of being held accountable for fraud and we shouldn't expect anyone else to be capable of following laws.

I can't think of anything one could say that would be more white supremacist than that.

Stuxnet did something where it destroyed centrifuges by showing speed as normal while secretly varying the speed to destroy the mechanics.

Mass internet connected EVs could probably do something similar to break millions of cars.

Mandated internet connected cars is a crime against humanity and those who mandated it should be hung.

VOY was lit like that until red alert, when the mood lighting and Barry manilow start.

I wonder if that's standard or if Janeway just likes getting in the mood when there's killing to be done?

Meanwhile half the right goes "stfu you assholes... No Republican is nearly based enough for that.... It isn't fair!!"

Going Terry Davis on glowies is actually illegal. You're not supposed to do that. He was saying it because he was literally schizophrenic, most of these people aren't..... Allegedly.
