Also a car bumping a wall or even breaking a window doesn't seem like a real problem, feels like this is one of those 'man chokes eating his shoe, shocking statistics show almost all Americans wear dangerous choking hazard shoes!'

Also bollards don't change the situation significantly for the occupants of the car, the only statistic that's actually interesting is how often do people outsidw the car get hurt when it happens - since they're only talking about one tragic incident I'm guessing it's a low number.

So if a car hit your house and the postman gets hurt you'd hold yourself personally responsible and pay all his costs and stuff?

Like killing disabled people because it's cheaper, farming slaves to provide cheap labour, that sort of thing?

There a good reason we tend to prefer the more humane and emotionally guided solutions over the mathematically most efficient.

If a surgeon refused to let me save the life of the one person in the world i love then they wouldn't be able to save any more lives after that so add that to your heartless calculations...

Just remember if a doctor ever asks then lie and say only on friday, there's a few things in life you absolutely have to lie about because the system is not designed to care about people.

Here in the uk never admit to smoking weed to a medical professional, never admit to even so much as thinking about any form of self harm, delusions, emotional regulation issues... it can come back decades later and fuck you over.

Yeah I got it here in England for my budget school uniform, for requiring free achool.meals, for my shoes, for a dozen other signs of poverty...

I love that america tackles it's own social issues and hate that Brits and other Europeans do nothing but snarky attacks on America as a way of denying our own issues and pretending america is uniquely bad.

Also look at the amount of people just in this thread who got some lord of the rings prop or whatever and loved it - women not being a homogeneous block of feminine virtue actually have their own opinions and taste, they are to the shock of many here actually just people and are often dumb, tasteless, and obsessed by things like marvel or that one fantasy book that got popular.

Jeweller was* probably like 'oh another client wants something ugly for their nerd wife, well at least it's not disney ip this time...'

*yes I acknowledge this was almost certainly made by a nerd jeweler as a show piece and nor brought by oop as a wedding ring.

So if they did organize good transportation and alerted the cities you would support the move?

It's also including the cost of admin and additional services, but yes immigrants cost the nation a lot of money - you think this is expensive wait until you see how much it costs to house them and all that stuff...

This is why boarder states are doing it, it is cheaper for them to spend one time 2000 than all the other costs that would be incurred

Why tell me instead if the person using it to define people's personalities based on their skin color?

Fantastic argument debunking and refuting all my points!

It makes you mad because you don't want to face reality you just want your team to win so that you feel good, it's kinda pathetic tbh

Well yeah they declared themselves a sanctuary city for political points, they didn't want to deal with reality.

Why does her living in the US for six years change anything? That doesn't debunk the claims made by the right. If anything it bolsters them because it shows a lack of integration even after so long.

Also instead of attacking the right about every news story isn't it important to anyone to actually talk about the real and genuine problems here? Avoiding actual issues might help dunk on the right in our lefty clunhuts but it doesn't fix anything or help anyone and it just makes the right more popular

Dang kids don't know how to tune a TV or do the tappets in their car!

They'll be screwed if they find themselves in 1980!

If it helps i can explain how lemmy thinks,

Elon does nothing at his companies and is lazy and stupid, also Elon is intricately responsible for everything which happens at his companies and so everything they do is bad.

They will believe any 'Elon bad' story because they're desperate to, largely because he said some bad things on Twitter and is bad at memes. They will also assume any Elon related thing is bad because to them reality is a team sport and if someone has differing political opinions they must be not only ontological evil but stupid and bad in every way.

It's hilarious to me when people complain about jobs like this training AI, oh you watch videos and it's hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs and factory work!

Before automation people stood at machines doing the same repetitive task for 8 hours a day or longer and if they lose concentration they could lose a limb.

Automation and computation has made what would have been absolute plum luxury jobs less than a hundred years ago seem burdensome and 'dystopian' to our modern sensibilities, I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

'This company I like must secretly want us to hack their code because I am a good person and they are good people so we must think exactly the same!'

OK buddy, tell yourself what you need to.

People with this mentality are so odd to me, like you must be very young or actively avoided witnessing any of the endless stream of disruptor technologies which have come and ended once untouchable business by making them obsolete.

That or you've conveniently forgotten all the times you said something like 'streaming will never replace video rental' or 'they'll never let VoIP displace long distance call charges' then reality has proven you wrong.

I call the other side of the world almost every day for several hours and it costs me absolutely nothing, when I was a kid we had to time how long a call to the other side of town lasted because it was so expensive.

Tech regularly makes things significantly cheaper, and not just on the scale of things like lace costing so much that lace curtains were a sign of high affluence before the industrial revolution. Have you ever had a encyclopedia salesman knock at your door? No? It was common before Wikipedia and the internet absolutely destroyed that business model and gave everyone access to information for free.

Pagers were in somewhat common use in the 60s, by 1980 wide area paging was on the market offering the ability to send text messages to portable devices anywhere in the country - I'd describe sms as two way pagers.

That sounds like a job for ai
