There is a theory that sanctions against a country with a tyrannical ruler hurt the common people more than the oligarchs / dictator. But eventually they do make life more difficult for that ruler

He had such a way with music. I saw the “we are the world” documentary and it was amazing to be a fly on the wall and watch him work with all those musicians

House on the hill ?

Indubitably (wtf)

I loved it! The zombeh attack were the only videos I knew, but I watched them many times.

Even today I associate the Shaun of the Dead theme song more more with Edd than with Shaun.

Also,

It… I. I. …I… It’s Tort!

Imo it’s a waste for police to pull anyone over for this, unless they’re actually a danger to someone. Biking and being on the phone is way safer than driving a 1000 pound battering ram with limited visibility doing the same.

I used to bike like this when I was a teenager, and I try not to now. If someone was in the crosswalk, I’d slightly adjust my speed and path to pass behind or in front of them as space allowed, just like they were any other obstacle. Because I didn’t realize how unpleasant it feels to be startled by a bike going past, or even if you know they’re coming it’s still uncomfortable that they’re going fast.

As a biker it took me a lot of life experience to realize that even if the situation was perfectly safe (I’ve always been in control and never hit anyone), pedestrians are not unreasonable for disliking bikes riding fast in their personal space.

But in a lot of countries, bikes have to be like pedestrians sometimes because the bike infrastructure is so spotty or non-existant. You’ll try to use the bike path but it just ends. Or there’s so safe way to turn left, or whatever.

But in other places, like Berlin, Germany, old people will yell at you if you’re biking in the wrong place and it’s pretty great because there’s usually a good bike path right there that you could be using.

PS. In my walking experience, bikes are way more likely to see me if I’m crossing a crosswalk than cars. Sometimes cars drive right through when you’re waiting to cross, where a biker will usually acknowledge me and let me cross.

No

I see what you did there

I share it when I think the person might someday sign up for the fediverse if they see enough links

On my client I can either share the canonical URL or “share as image” and I choose which one based on context

You got it lol

Voyager on Android. I had no idea you could change display names

I didn’t see anyone else say this so I’ll chime in: when I’ve had to keep bulky things on a keyring (a CPR pocket mask comes to mind) I’ll put it on its own small keyring and then hang that on the main keyring with the keys. It isn’t a perfect solution, but it helps a lot.

Horror

But what kind

What is this sorcery

Because my parents don’t like cursing lol

I don’t see a flag, just ‘muntedcrocodile’

To me, voting for Trump “out of spite” doesn’t sound like something a person would do if they cared about others. I hope you won’t do that.

I think the problem is more that maga has taken over the right wing, and instead of distancing themselves from maga, a lot of conservatives end up defending it. Which should not be tolerated imo.

If someone is intolerant of maga, what is so hard about saying “I don’t like them either”

Why does this read like an ad for cybertrucks for people who would want to run over deer
