Yes, obviously they're for communicating with other drivers, what gave you the impression I meant otherwise? I was responding to this in your last post:

Unless you turn your blinker on to let people know your want over how is anyone going to give you enough space to merge in? [...] You need to hit the blinker to let others know you want to move then check for space.

There are a lot of times where it makes sense to wait for a gap in traffic, rather than asking people to let you merge. And in those situations you would check for space before turning on your signal. You should still use your signal, even if you know you already have space to merge.

A "hooker skirt?" Isn't that a little misogynistic?

That's not what usually happens with censorship, though. Censorship can be very effective, which is why it's so dangerous, and why we have the 1st amendment in the US.

Or you play a cat-and-mouse game with the authorities in that country as they try to block access to your servers. Depending on your moral values this might be preferable to blindly following the laws of authoritarian regimes.

It's really the country you're based in that matters the most.

LA has infamously bad drivers. In many parts of the country people will slow down and give you space to move over when you have your signal on. They'll also known how to do a proper zipper merge.

Yep. If I know there aren't any other cars within a quarter mile of me then the turn signal is just a formality. At best it tells other drivers the lane change was intentional, at worst it's a (miniscule) waste of time and energy.

That only makes sense if you're driving on a busy road. If seems like half of the commenters here only drive during rush hour, and the other half only drive on empty rural roads.

If there isn't much traffic it makes a lot of sense to wait until you have an opening and then turn on your signal, instead of turning it on before checking for a gap.

But she's getting 100k-500k per month, not year.

Is this what they call FAFO?

Being intoxicated while making important decisions that affect the future of the country doesn't count as "responsible," IMO.

You also don't need a 16h plane flight to travel. It can be MUCH cheaper, and shorter.

You don't have to leave the continent, just getting away for a day or two can do wonders.

Yep sounds like a bug

I'm sorry, I have no idea what point you're trying to make.

I'm not talking about a "sense of duty," I'm talking about actual responsibility. Lemmy users don't have a high level of responsibility for the server they use. Admins and mods do.

You are the instigator here, don't twist the facts.

You are literally inventing things to be outraged about. Do you just really enjoy conflict and drama?

Police have a duty to enforce the law, and when they ignore other officers breaking the law they are failing their duty to society. Do you think ML users have a duty to control what other ML users post? That's the mods/admins job, regular users don't have any special privileges on Lemmy.

This right here is why ML has the reputation it does.

An adjustable rate is the right choice of you're confident rates will drop and you can accept the risk of being wrong.
