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...

Sorry to hear that. Actually sucks.

40% chance that anyone you didn't like isn't your problem anymore.

"The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer" is actually pretty decent, but it's exactly what it says on the box and I don't know why I thought watching this was going to be something I'd do.

Dropped after an episode, but someone who's a bit more edgy than me would probably like it.

[Admin Mode] Well, that was a wash. I decided to pull the plug and restore from backups after realizing that there were too many things not working right and I wasn't getting a warm fuzzy feeling. We're back where we started, but now I've seen what would happen, so that was a positive.

[admin mode] well be going down today for an extended outage for software upgrades. See you on the other side!

The romans didn't even consider January to be a month for a long time, just the time before the year starts for real. It wasn't until much later that it named the time period January, after Janus, God of transformations.

She proceeded to go home and shame her son for not having the grades to become a doctor.

I mean, they've been trying as I understand it. But the judges keep sticking their nose in acting like they're the executive.

It's shocking what that particular 3 years does.

Part of me wants to laugh, and part of me wants to cry, both because you're probably correct.

Not to mention, what's she gonna do if things to tits up? Go to the cops?

If they could write, maybe more of their students would graduate with that ability.

[admin mode] sometime this week we'll be going down for back-end upgrades. Just a heads up.

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...
