What if my gender is daytime socializer?

Also 30 minutes.

Like father, like son.

Interesting but most of us don’t have the same threat profile as the Israeli prime minister. If you do then you may want to do this.

I heard rent was free in Siberia for anarchists.

Children benefit from online anonymity. Destroying their anonymity harms children.

This is an important issue. People get upset when I bring this up because usually they’re angry and they want to punish someone after these events, so they want to make it about immigrants, or fascists, or terrorists or whoever. But those people exist and frankly you are not going to get rid of them without doing something even worse than what they did.

The proper solution is to ensure that there is always physical separation between large groups of pedestrians and cars so that these ramming attacks simply cannot take place. Some well-placed bollards are all it takes.

Yeah. I know someone who was hit by a car at low speeds and survived but they still received a life-changing injury.

Just what we need, more market share for Meta…

Is there actual evidence it’s dying? For a while it seemed like the momentum was there but now I don’t hear much about mastodon or even bluesky from normies.

I think both metrics would tell you different things. Even unadjusted it gives you an idea about which thing you should be concerned about addressing and reducing your own risk or the risk of those you care about.

Plus, I don’t have exposure data like that to make the comparison. If you do then it would certainly be interesting to see.

lol whenever the national news covers wildfires in CA I get these texts. Like, guys I live in the Central Valley. It’s literally dozens of miles to the nearest place a wildfire could realistically even be possible.

Great idea!

I’ve always felt this way but that community has been huge for making me realize that a lot of other people feel the same way too!

I’m sure most people are aware that the difference in danger is quite large but maybe not just how absurdly large.

Sharks kill about 10 people per year.

For cars the number is 1,670,000 deaths. Every year.

As a point of comparison, in 2025, about 250k people were killed in armed conflicts, which was the highest number in decades.

A lot of people think it’s weird to hate cars as much as I do. But they are quantitatively in a similar category as the Holocaust in terms of how many people they kill. From the perspective, it seems a bit crazy not to hate them.

Noooo I wanna be the idiot who makes someone’s day :)

I’m bad at it though :(

If ICE played soccer

This poll includes independents.

Answer by enacting a BDS movement.

Yet another stupid rule that requires mods to read minds, which they’re famously terrible at.

PTB but I almost think this is a distinct case that needs its own term…

Well historically, every time pirates seized a ship there was a world war immediately after.
