I mean, if you’re eating chicken nuggets every single day, gut health is just one of many issues people could have, including heart disease, diabetes, peripheral neuroapathy, obesity, disability, etc. 20 year olds arnt immune to that. People really struggle with basic diet. I’m very lucky I was raised by a gardener. Home cooked fresh foods for the first 18 years and fast food feels like eating plastic. If I was raised eating junk food I probably wouldn’t know better.

Isn’t that painting with a broad brush? I thought there were a wide variety of people protesting for a wide variety of reasons.

He was a moron before his brain injury. Some people are born dumb and I do feel they deserve equal respect in society. Others choose among all options to actively seek stupidity, I know because I grew up with them in the 80’s and 90’s when being smart was “gay” and “dorky”. These people thought being big, dumb, and strong was something to be proud of and I have no sympathy for their negative impact on society.

He’s a grade A moron, he’s already a republican.

This false narrative that you’re helpless to try when depressed needs to end, its needlessly self limiting. The only reason my life is good now is because I took steps I had to that i didnt want to. People can encourage others and we can recognise how difficult it is at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive.

You’re probably right, but I’d hope at least some powerful people would think twice if the risks were high. I agree though the victims matter more. Your focus is in the right place.

This is generally were my thinking is going. I’ve been firmly against the death penalty my whole life, but I’d make an exception for people who abuse authority in positions of great power. I think it would have to be a high standard of evidence or politicians would just sue each other into the gallows.

This is why I prefer “queer”, because why should I have to explain my sexuality to anyone. I’ll know what I like when the time comes and that has expanded and contracted over the years. There is no specific line I feel like I need to use as a definition. To me drawing a line just limits things and misleads others. Language is imperfect and sexuality is complex.

Counterpoint, aluminum is bad for you, anti-persperaint is hard to clean off your body and cloths, humans are allowed to smell a little. As long as you’re not smelling like a highschool gym and shower regularly and after exercise, a light application of deodorant should be plenty for the majority of adults.

Except every car I’ve ever seen it implemented in malfunctions 1000 times more than it ever works properly. I always signal and find lane departure to be incredibly dangerous. If you trust your cars algorithm more than your own eyes, I don’t trust you on the road.

100℅ this. Lane departure seems far more dangerous on than off.

The problem with some of these “safety” features is they malfunction at such a high rate they seem more likely to kill me than save my life. They also don’t anticipate future consequence in any way.

The collision detection malfunctions regularly giving a loud beep or applying breaks when nothing is ahead.

The lane departure does not understand situations where you had someone wander into your lane and you may drive onto the shoulder quickly before signalling. I don’t need my car fighting me while im making the correct call. I also think having the car take over, even gently, is so startling that it could cause the accident it was meant to prevent. If I’m startled I might over correct and lose control. While that has never happened, with everything considered, it seems safer to leave some of these features off.

I don’t need to be an early adopter on flawed technology that could get me killed.

My car has micro wires in the front window, smaller than the ones in the back. Maybe it refers to this?

Yes, just what aurora app store detects loaded in the app.

YouTube just has google firebase analytics (which I also don’t want)

8 trackers from 6 different companies, hard pass.

Fair enough, complaining about reposts is still incredibly silly.

To believe that reposts are a problem you have to believe that everyone has been online at the exact same time as you and seen the things you’ve seen. I know you will find this incomprehensible, but this is my first time seeing this comic.

There are all kinds of things that the law says to do that isn’t optimal. Sometimes the right thing to do isn’t ideological, but realistic and practical. I agree everyone should collectively slow down, not because its lawful but because it is safer. But until they do, I will always pick the safer option over what is lawful. Lawfulness is not a barometer of ethics, its a tool of power.

Nowhere in the article does it say that. Your ego is more important than your own life or the life of others, that tracks with both of your comments.

the core insight remains widely accepted in traffic engineering: deviation from the average traffic speed, especially on high-speed roads, is a significant risk factor.
