It’s only a non-justicable political question when Republicans do it. That part is written in invisible ink, which is only visible if you sign your entity’s legal name diagonally across the written decision with a red pen.

This person posted this earlier today then deleted it when people started pointing out how gross it is. It’s all they’ve posted about.

Indulging this person’s fetish that they’re facilitating by using an LLM isn’t a great idea. You’re enabling someone who is probably in mental distress, and you’re spending way more time on it than they are. He’s just throwing responses into an LLM and copying the response over, and he’s indulging in the attention. This account is literally only this post and comments.

It’s creepy to think of some low-effort sweat slobbering over the attention from those willing to indulge his AI-constructed fanfic. Gross.

Yeah I heard they always have burnt tongues because they eat all their food before it becomes cool.

I was talking about Vancouver, TX. What are you on about?

And also they’re from lemmy.ca 😆

I meant in real countries.

Sorry, I’m originally from the upper Midwest, so I’m required to poke fun at Canada any time the opportunity presents itself.

A focus on appearance and current trends? My brother in Feist, you just described everyone under the age of like 40.

Edit: I guess Wikipedia says “modern hipsters” basically declined/disappeared around 2016-2017, which feels right.

More realistically like 15 years, but, yeah, same difference in the end.

Honest question, do hipsters still exist? I thought that went out like 5-10 years ago. I don’t really see them anymore.

… how. Why. What… I don’t even know what questions to ask.

I hear you. I’ve definitely read some eye-rolly hyperbole in this community. I walk a fair bit. I ride a bicycle. I also drive a car. I’m not subscribed to this community, I just visit it when it pops up on the feed.

That said, of the places I’ve lived, the ones that had good pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and good public transit tended to be more pleasant places to live, but I’m not saying that’s directly causal. I think probably it’s more that communities that try to support more walkable/rideable places to live also tend to have city and state governments more invested (or at least interested) in creating more enjoyable communities overall. Who knows, though. Definitely the level of baseline anger and aggression from your average person differs pretty wildly depending on where you are in this country.

Edit: I do like that we’re two people that don’t downvote others just because we find them annoying, so we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.

Two-ton death machine, pedestrians, and bicycles. Hmm. One of these seems different than the others.

Guy’s only post is in a car enthusiast community, comes to FuckCars, “BuT WhAt ABouT mY ‘BoTH SIdEs’ ARguMeNt!”

If you ride a bicycle and hang out with cycling people that have been in the scene for a while, this is a fairly common topic of conversation. Drivers seem to have gotten more careless (phone use I’m guessing), more reckless (lowered concern and empathy for others), and more angry (this one seems obvious) over the last five years or so. Especially towards cyclists. I would say before five years ago, I would have someone throw something at me or be purposefully aggressive like, maybe once a year. Now it’s a monthly occurrence.

I avoid huge swaths of my city now, and most rural roads. After being buzzed (once by less than a foot) three separate times by three different trucks in three consecutive weeks on rural paved roads with assholes yelling at me and throwing a can at me out of the window, I traded in my road bike and bought a gravel bike. Now I stick to gravel for long rides. I’ve got more options to bail off the road, traffic is extremely infrequent, and I know if someone is coming behind me very easily. If it’s a lifted truck, I pull off and wait until they pass. Annoys the shit out of me to have to do it, but it’s not worth dying.

I mean low-key that’s kind of a brilliant way to make the argument.

Dear Can’s Subconscious,

Sorry I haven’t written to you lately. I’ve been so busy, but that’s no excuse. I hope you are well.

I was writing to ask a question: y u no pee? U scare? Y?

Sincerely,

WoahWoah

While I’ve said no one is paying attention to you if you’re not peeing – and I think it’s largely true, I’ve never really noticed if someone doesn’t start peeing; I guess I would just assume they were stealth peeing against the side of the urinal – I have to admit I do notice those old guys that stand there for like five minutes leaking it out a spurt at a time. They seem to defy the 21 second rule.

Totally agree. Or maybe there could be a little fig leaf dispenser by the urinals so all the shy guys can hide their junk from god whilst they micturate.
