This is more "fix the symptom instead of the problem" though I do agree that we need better pedestrian infrastructure.

That's fair, but easy to do: don't have the cops issue tickets for driving slowly on days where there is inclimate weather.

Depends on how often the camera needs to be repaired/replaced and where the money goes for the tickets it writes.

Cops need to start ticketing:

  • people changing lanes without indication
  • people turning without indication
  • people driving in the inside lane when they're not passing
  • people who take more than 2 seconds to react to a light change
  • People following bumper-to-bumper forming left-turn trains through yellow/red lights
  • People who take more than a few seconds to get back up to speed

And also:

  • Pedestrians who stand on the edge of the curb at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross
  • Pedestrians standing literally on the edge of the road at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross

Instead of wasting money on speed cameras and reducing speeds, we should be aggressively ticketing distracted drivers and pedestrians, and people who struggle to reach the limit in the first place.

Yes, but in this case they are punching up - just not high enough.

I'll never understand that logic... No, your father is horribly underpaid and instead of joining forces with the unions to get better working conditions and wages, we're gonna shit on them so we have no leg left to stand on.

Brilliant

I remember when we used to laugh and ignore people with these default-generated Reddit usernames... What a stupid community they've become. If you can't take the few seconds to create a username, you're not there for anything more than spamming bullshit.

I don't think there was any distraction. We had two shit choices and NDP. And since this country fails to elect NDP time after time, it was a given that we were pretty fucked. The main difference during this election between the parties that I saw were:

  1. The Liberal platform didn't contradict itself every point or two

  2. The Liberal platform focused a lot more on domestic tourism, accessibility, and making it easier to transport our own goods across provincial borders.

I don't see how bill C-5 fits into any of the platform they put forward.

I think it's for show. "Look, we tried. The problem isn't Canada."

Why just Christian prayers? Why not prayer in general?

Use a generic "what do you think about prayer in public schools?" survey, and then where states vote YES create campaigns to make satanic and Muslim prayer programs at schools in the states that were all for prayer lol

Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird, too. Going as basic as explaining how to use ls and cat and how to run an executable, but not mentioning how to make an executable actually be executable.

I thought maybe it was just something wacky with my Termux install that made me have to chmod it all.

I also found it weird how the game didn't manage HP and inventory for you. There must have been better ways for it to show you how to use session variables...

If that was true, then we wouldn't see people bitching about the cold while I'm out in a t-shirt and jeans in 50°F weather. Seems fucking stupid to base a measurement system on something so subjective.

 

As a 10+ year Reddit user, I recently made the jump here to Lemmy and was hoping to re-join some of the old groups. Is there a running list somewhere of all the groups on here that started as subreddits?

What's the right term for them, anyway? Group? Sublemmy? Community?
