It's so slow, nothing happens for an entire episode. It disrespects the viewer's time.

The way I see it the biggest issue is the lack of law enforcement. It creates a driving culture where by respecting the law you're just a "sucker", because you constantly see other drivers not respecting it and getting ahead.
Drivers get mad at you if you're only driving at the legal speed limit. You're impeding the flow of traffic and are being dangerous they argue.
Even running red lights is somewhat common nowadays because unless you actually cause a crash then nothing happens. It's not like you get fined or stopped by the police - there is no police and there are no cameras.

I think it makes a lot of sense. Billionaires are finite in number and they're people just like us.

What a stupid title, lol. Classic "China bad" mentality.
We should be worried if we're in a dance competition with the dancing robots πŸ˜‚

That sounds awesome but I don't know if there are enough people for such a niche subject.
I'm into sim racing, and I know !simracing@lemmy.ml exists, but it's pretty empty πŸ₯²

 

Is it just me, or are lots of mods just banning anyone with a dissenting opinion?

I like to be a bit contrarian, play devil's advocate, stuff like that, so sometimes I know what I post isn't going to jive with the community I'm posting in, but I think there's value in that. It starts a discussion and it offers a different pov.

Maybe I'm wrong and stupid, and someone can reply and explain why. I think that would be a net benefit. But what happens instead is my post gets deleted and I get banned. :/

I genuinely think this is a real issue and it leads to echo chambers, but am curious to see what other ppl think? Am I just salty? :)
