Not that I doubt you, I just don't understand how a user bidirectional block works when other instances don't support the feature.

There's always a right of way, indicated by signs or just road law. If a driver doesn't know the relevant rules they're not qualified to be on the road.

And if they're not used to having an artificially created traffic jam on their street, honestly, I think that's fair enough.

Yes, let's stick with the 100km/h traffic in the residential area.

How does that work from a technical perspective? Do non-piefed users still see you?

You're dodging the question. HOW would this reduce deaths?

Would you like to explain HOW it would reduce deaths? Because no would-be mass murderer would ever sharpen a knife or, just, pick up another weapon?

I read it, it sounds like a bunch of entitled cunts annoyed that something they're familiar with has changed.

"Everybody's confused!". Ok, maybe the 1st day. If you're still confused in a week you shouldn't be driving.

Yes, would-be mass murderers everywhere will be deterred by the fact that knives will no longer come pre-pointed. Society will be saved!

I'm not sure how or why it hasn't been mentioned yet, but one reason blocking is the way it is, is because in a public forum like this, blocking somebody else from seeing your content is extremely open to abuse, while providing no real benefit from a protection perspective. As accounts are essentially free and unlimited, any malicious user can logout or spin up a new account to bypass your block.

On the abuse issue, it was previously shown with some testing on Reddit that by posting something offensive and controversial, then blocking everybody who responded in a negative manner, you could within 3 - 5 rounds of blocking reach the point where you could post practically anything and have it seen like a popular opinion, since everybody who disagreed with you and was willing to call out your bullshit couldn't see it any more. Hence technical reasons aside, there are very good systemic reasons the blocking mechanism works the way it does.

I like the idea, but I'm confident there's a 1% chance of me actually remembering what I wanted to say

Hmm? I'm not sure what you're referring to.

I don't know that there's a lot there that's different from your everyday stuff, other than the brands. Liverpostei, maybe? It's a sort of liver dish.

Pizza and hot dogs is like incredibly common here in Norway.

Huh, my bad then. I heard somewhere that was the case.

Would have thought it was an obvious play on the headline, but I accept that sheer stupidity does exist.

That was Norway, yes.

I hate to say this, but the delicious foods you're getting in the cities, have mostly been watered down to suit the Norwegian palate 😂

Hah! Lutefisk, yet another dish that exists today purely for nostalgia. It would also probably fail every food safety test in existence today if it wasn't grandfathered in.

For those not in the know, it's fish preserved in lye, which is an extremely toxic substance. Preparing the dish involves cooking it for long enough to fully neutralise the lye, and any failure to fully do so results in poisoning, which can range from mild to extremely serious. I also hate to imagine what byproducts might be left behind as a result of the lye.
