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.

Trying to link to it from any instance:
!startrek@startrek.website/post/35769143

edit: nope that doesn't work :( can't it be done, or it's just that I don't know how to?

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

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 🥲

I mean, that sounds bad, but considering all the hundreds of thousands of civilians they killed, this is literally nothing.

The timing of when the episode was aired and the current political climate is just perfect. Chef's kiss! :)

I don't think it really matters, just don't dox yourself and you should be fine.
Also you can have multiple accounts on different instances and stuff if you want.
And I don't think you can tell that much by just upvotes and downvotes. I often times downvote stuff I've seen re-posted too much in different instances. I don't want to see the same thing dozens of times ofc, doesn't mean I necessarily have an issue with the content.
Lastly I bet most people don't use that website anyway. I don't. What good does it do me to see who downvotes me? If we disagree on something... that's allowed.

Cans have a plastic lining. It's just plastic with extra steps :)

 

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? :)
