Hard agree, but hopefully as people wake up you’ll be fighting along side people you care about, it makes some difference. And if you find there is a country you can safely escape to, that might still an be an option.

Fascism is on the rise everywhere, you won’t escape it by leaving. The only choice is to resist.

Not in taste, not in texture/airiness, not on quality what exactly do you believe is similar? They are both pizza! Just to clarify, I walked into this argument fully aware it is subjective. Maybe I’ve just never had good NY pizza when I’m there. If you let me know your favorite NY pizza you swear by, I’ll give it another shot when I’m there. In all honesty I’ve only had it as a tourist as I have family there. Locals usually have a more developed sense of where the best example of something is.

Chicago style pizza was originally tavern style thin crust. This deep dish nonsense is a modern thing. And I prefer Neapolitan over Sicilian because thinner crust is usually better.

As much as I love Jon Stewart, NYC has the worst pizza in the country. Don’t get why people love a limp pizza with the wrong ratio of bread/sauce/cheese. I’ve had better school lunch pizza than your average New York slice. Chicago style thin crust or Midwestern thin crust, or neapolitan are all worlds better pizza.

Charlie Kirk openly supported great replacement theory, a core foundational belief of modern neo-nazi’s. He was objectively a nazi.

His words stoked division, hate, and death. I have no empathy for a neo-nazi who would kill me in an instant if it were legal. As far as I’m concerned, his death is self defense.

I’m fairly techy have a technical job that involves programming, data, and implementation. And I’m still on Microsoft and stock Android. It’s really not that complicated for some of us. I’m not on my phone or home computer that much, I have a mile long “to do” list. I’d love to switch over, but it’s a super low priority. Even if it would only be a few hours, that’s a few hours I could be doing anything else.

I suspect that scooters have similar risks as bicycles, more dangerous than cars for non-lethal injuries, less dangerous for lethal injury. And nearly all lethal injury, like 99%, directly related to cars and trucks. Cars are more lethal to drive on a highway than bikes are to ride on city streets. I bet scooter are basically the same, the biggest risk is automobiles.

Do you think motorcycles are required to just sit at a light all day long? Some lights these days are only triggered by large metal objects, motorcycles are often not detected. The light will never change if a car or truck doesn’t come.

This article only lists some states, but I know it’s legal in Minnesota since 2002, so it’s definitely not an exhaustive list.

At stop signs, or right turns at lights, most vehicles roll through slowly instead of coming to a complete stop, basically the exact same action a bike takes. At least where I live it’s perfectly legal for bikes to run stop signs, so long as it wouldn’t be anyone else’s right of way. But it’s not legal for cars to do it, yet they mostly do.

Edit: passing through a red on a bicycle or motorcycle is also legal in most places with proximity sensors so long as no one else has the right of way. Many lights have proximity sensors that fail to detect bikes, so they have to let it happen or you could be stuck at a light until a car comes.

Sure, but most car drivers also fail to come to a complete stop as well.

When kia redesigned the logo I thought it was a new car brand with a K and backwards N. When I realized it was kia I can only think about how bad that logo is, not that the old one was any better.

Disappointed that I have not seen every song Dave Matthews has ever sung listed in here.

Most Jews don’t live in Israel. 18 million Jews, 7 million live in Israel. The way you framed your comment doesn’t really make sense. You’re talking about Israelis, not Jews as a whole.

There are 5 classified levels of automation. At the lower levels of automation, the very article you are responding to quotes this evidence for you. Here is another article that gets deeper into it, I haven’t read it all so feel free to draw your own conclusions, but this data has been available and well reported on for many years. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/autonomous-vehicle-safety-statistics.html

They only have to work better and more consistently than humans to be a net positive. Which I believe most of these systems already do by a wide margin. Psychologically it’s harder to accept a mistake from technology than it is from a human because the lack of control, but if the goal is to save lives, these safety systems accomplish that.

Disinformation causes people to believe and spread misinformation. It’s often hard to tell who is being deliberate and who is an idiot, especially with so many idiots on the public stage and so much societal mass mental illness.

I’m a millennial, I had a gun in my car during hunting season, a few years later that would have landed me in jail. The cultural shift actually moved very fast. Same with drinking in bars underaged. Within a few years it went from doing it everywhere to doing it almost nowhere. I could drink in bars underaged at 15 but not at 19, because the policy enforcement shifted that fast.
