If only speed cameras worked to lower the speed anyone travels at… Realistically, people are going to drive the speed that feels safe for that road, and a speed camera is just going to disproportionately punish people without the money to pay the fines.

Make roads that are designed for the speed you want people to drive at, not wide open expanses that give no actual reason to slow down.

Reminds me of this video, the the impotence of proofreading

I think we took a wrong turn somewhere.

It’s kinda weird to try to include representation without it feeling shoe horned. The world of TES (of any fictional world) is entirely hand-created. There are no accidents, all of it is intentional.

This means that, no matter how it’s done, any character deviating from the “norm” was consciously chosen to be so. These things that need representation (disabilities, gender identity, sexuality, race, etc) are all things people don’t get to choose, so there’s an inherent disconnect between the hand crafted world choosing to include diversity, and the real world necessarily having diversity because of chaos.

Following this thread, there’s never been a case of inclusivity, or exclusivity, that isn’t shoehorned in. It’s always been entirely the will of the author to include or exclude these representations. With that in mind, I think it’s only a good thing to see more diverse authors bringing more diverse worlds and characters into existence.

The rape. The other guy posted the sources. Can’t respect her since I’ve heard about it.

For me it’s the rape.

For what it’s worth it’s definitely not just conservatives. While I think she’s doing a lot of good compared to others in her wealth bracket, that wealth bracket still should not exist, and anyone in it is a problem.

I can acknowledge that she pays better than most other entertainers. I can acknowledge that she’s pushing back against a lot of the BS that the music industry is pedaling lately. I can acknowledge that she does a lot of philanthropy.

I can also acknowledge that she’s acquired an inhuman amount of money, which necessarily requires perpetuating suffering. I can acknowledge that she’s absolutely a part of the environment problem. All of these things can be true at the same time.

Aww chitch 😭

The storm chaser by Caligula’s horse

Because people want to. People like society. There’s no shortage of people who would do whatever needs to be done to keep things running, they just don’t want to be forced to.

The things that end up dying? They’re not important to society, and so we’re wasting energy keeping them running. If it’s important, people will do the work.

I think the biggest thing with that is trump and Putin live public lives. They live lives scrutinized by media and the public. They bought into those lives, they chose them. Due to that, there are certain things that we push that they wouldn’t necessarily be illegal if we did them to a normal, private citizen, but because your life is already public we turn a bit of a blind eye. And yes, this applies to celebrities, too.

I don’t necessarily think the above is a good thing, I think everyone should be entitled to some privacy, having the same thing done to a normal person living a private life is a MUCH more clear violation of privacy.

The only thing I consistently dislike about the steam controller is the texture on the trackpad. It makes my skin crawl, running my finger over it. I wish there was a smooth textured one.

Gotcha. There’s a LOT of gatekeeping in the metal community, from band to band, and from genre to genre. Some of the names are pretty funny, yeah, and that’s part of what some people use as an attempt to gatekeep.

I know you’re not, personally. I’m just providing counterargument.

My counterargument to that is, why wall your garden off? Why not share the beauty you’ve found or built with others? Maybe see what their gardens are like?

I mean, that’s fair. I don’t think that’s a valid reason to go gatekeeper, just live and let live, but I get it.

Glad I’ve never met anyone like you at a show rofl. You lot are miserable.

No, gatekeepers suck. Let people enjoy their things, them enjoying it doesn’t somehow rob your ability to enjoy it. Look at it this way, everyone was a new fan who didn’t know but the band’s 3 most popular songs. Maybe instead of shitting on them, recommend some cool songs based on what they already like? Explain some of the meaning in their music? Do literally anything but “NOT METAL!” or “NOT A REAL FAN!”

I mean, they’re not my top choice either, but there’s a HIGE difference in your approach, “not my cup of tea”, and the gatekeeper approach of “it’s not real reeee”. Everyone has taste, but there’s some kind of weird pride over something being metal, or not metal, and it’s just super shitty to attack something someone loves, just because it’s not your thing.
