In many states, you actually need (liability) insurance to purchase a car. And you can’t get car insurance without a license. Some states have a grace period, but it is required. Even if you only intend to drive it on your own private property. Is it enforceable? Probably not, but it is the law.

Not only that, legally you still need to register your car with the state. I’ll concede the “you can buy cars immediately but not guns” argument, but that really only applies to some states. In Wisconsin, you don’t need to register nor is there any waiting period.

As for the “justified” argument, of course you are justified in those cases—but you can still be charged. Hell, my grandmother had to go to court for driving me (without a license) to the hospital in the 90s.

Genuine question: Why don’t 2A people also complain about driver’s licenses then? I really don’t understand. It’s the same barrier (if not even worse).

Yes, but the insinuation is that he’s using war powers to permanently institute himself in charge using only his powers, which isn’t the case. Effectively I’m countering the “he’s a dictator” undertone.

That's not true. One pro-russian co-founder of the biggest opposition party was expelled and they publicly condemned Putin's invasion. Zelinski still banned the party.

Okay. I’ll bite. Which party?

All of those opposition parties banned have explicitly been in favor of Russia annexing Ukraine. Literally every one.

Not only that, you make it sound like he did this by himself. There has been a ton of parliamentary agreement and has also been upheld in numerous appeals (incl by judges not having any associations with Zelensky).

I’m by no means a “Zelensky-stan” and have my own criticisms, but either you are seriously being misled or are being malicious/spreading misinformation.

Not only that, Ukraine runs a parliamentary government. There is no “opposition party”. Americans for some reason always view foreign government political parties through the lens of American politics. This is not like the government banning Republicans. This is like banning the “Socialists for the release of Alaska to Russia” party.

You are not alone in this.

Prior to discord I’d get maybe a bug report/month. After, about 1/day.

Simply put, the barrier to entry is huge.

However, documentation on Discord (other than simple end-user instructions/links to git readmes) is sort of stupid.

That’s not really feasible. School buses is one obvious reason (among many others).

You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.

Late response: Yes. You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.

So people are aware: If you are handicapped, you CAN park in the striped lines. In many cases, it’s the only feasible option for that person to safely exit.

For example: If directly to the left of the spot is a wall and your vehicles’ automated ramp deploys to the left, they have to park in the stripes.

Adding insult to injury in this case, it’s possible the handicapped person can’t enter their fucking car.

Eh, 30% in a parliamentary system is effectively the majority.

Looks like somebody rewrote json to require brackets around keys and to require semicolons? Very likely custom.

We need a ShitRimWorldSays community on Lemmy stat.

Management game you say? May I suggest Prosperous Universe?

A medical practitioner should inform the parent(s) of Jehovah’s Witness children that whilst he/she will try to respect their religious views, if a blood transfusion is required to save the child’s life, or prevent severe harm, it will be administered without their consent, unless they obtain a court order prohibiting this.

I wasn’t 100% clear, but context of my comment is children—so my comment was geared towards children. Adults are a different ballgame.

Didn’t mean it to come across as you being a dick—more of me commenting on my frustrations with morons.

I believe this is sarcasm, but it is hard to tell…

Christian Scientists are indeed against them. Jehovahs do vaccinations but not blood transfusions.

Blood transfusions honestly are not a problem most of the time, though. I’ve heard many stories about doctors just overriding the parents wishes due to emergency and the parents generally sigh with relief.
