It would block it all the same if they parked in the spot. Assuming this person is handicapped themselves they must’ve figured “either I block the entire parking spot for everybody, or I block it only for those that need the loading bay area for a wheelchair lift.”
I honestly think it’s meant to be courteous and it does work out that way for some if this person’s only alternative is to take up the whole space.
With a button you just press it to close the windows for a short stint of faster driving where having the windows down is uncomfortable. With a flange you’d probably be more inclined to leave them open because of the effort required to close them while driving. I think having your windows open even for a few short drives leads to more energy usage by increased drag than the window servo uses in the whole cars’ lifetime. So I don’t think it is any more environmentally friendly.
They quite literally only stated facts
Except for the preface stating the opinion that people that let their cats roam are shit.
I’m guessing the time and ammo it took to kill her amounts to more dollars lost than she could ever shoplift for. Did the store get their money back? No? Then what the fuck was the point? Who was actually helped that day?
The point of having police is to make society livable. This seems to be the opposite of that.
Nah, insulin is produced by bacteria that have been edited to contain the genes to create insulin. No pancreas is harmed to make it.
Humans are also hardwired to be adaptable and survive in many many circumstances. Materialism is one such circumstance. If this movement gains momentum and the world actually changes because of it humans will adapt again and survive.
The problem is that survival in these circumstances seems to depend on the continuation of it for all those in it, which leads to heavy resistance to changing the circumstances we’ve adapted to. It requires us to look beyond what we know and work towards the greater good with little guarantee that this will work out for ourselves individually within our own lives even if we know it’ll be good for everybody in the long term. Therefore, it goes against that innate survival instinct.
I truly believe that the only way out of this dumpster fire of a world we live in depends on changing those “fundamentals” (big word, seeing how materialism is relatively recent to mankind and is only fundamental as long as the majority believes it is and keeps the charade going) but in the short term it means going against the instinct to persevere and stay in the rat race, because stepping out of the race to live by new rules while the rest is undecided or flat out decides to simply keep running is going to set you back within the confines of the “old rules”.
Exactly. If it didn’t pay off these companies wouldn’t keep shoveling money to Facebook and Google to show their ads time and time again. Marketing is expensive. If it didn’t at least break even then nobody would be doing it anymore by now. Obviously it works, otherwise I wouldn’t ever know what the fuck a squarespace or a goddamn raid shadow legends is.
I was trying to point out how an act can be innocent in one context like your example of kissing your brother’s newborn on the forehead can be sexual in another context. Like kissing your female subordinate on the lips while holding her head with both hands. I’m baffled that you’re consistently missing the point here.
Sure because I changed my baby sister’s diaper this one time when she was 3 months old so it’s totally okay to pull down my coworkers pants and run a wet wipe down their asscrack in front of everybody. I normally don’t like butts, let alone wiping them down but you see she just landed a major contract for our company and I was overcome with joy.
What I don’t understand is how the national motto can be a religious one without breaking the first amendment.
I wonder what your experience with mercenaries is.
One time I went to a bar in Mallorca, asked “dos cervezas, por favor” and the guy went: “Was? Zwei bier??”
It was surreal to realise that nobody there actually spoke any Spanish. Outside of the tourist traps Mallorca still has some authenticity here and there but it’s like the locals just hide in the shadows for the most part.
Exactly, Covid is a variant of a pretty well known class of virusses. The research on mRNA vaccines was pretty advanced as far as I gathered but testing them in trials isn’t something you can easily do. There’s a lot of hoops to jump through to justify trials with human subjects. When the burden of disease isn’t very impactful it’s hard to justify trials. Once covid came screeching around the corner suddenly the justification was easy to argue.
Sure but then they’d also need to calculate the risk of Musk or X exposing the lie that X is allowing pro-nazi content. If it’s such an obvious lie for the exposure in the media then there’s a massive risk of being called out and exposed. The bottom line is X loses revenue and credibility due to this article and now has a huge incentive to blow the lid off this supposed conspiracy to paint X as a bastion of hate. I don’t think two big companies would roll the dice on that at the same time as losing their investment by ending this ad campaign early.
It seems that my settings were all correct and it was working all along. At least if I visit gonewild I do see the posts. I was just confused that I’m not seeing NSFW posts in the lemmynsfw feed but I’m starting to think I’m just misunderstanding the fundamentals of lemmy. I’m still a little lost about how to navigate this universe, as it were. If I look at lemmynsfw all I see is informational posts like this one, no actual NSFW content at all. Am I supposed to go to communities within lemmynsfw? Sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask these kind of questions by the way.
I’m a massive newbie to everything fediverse so I’m a little confused what this means exactly. I’m not seeing any NSFW stuff, but I am logged in. However, my account is registered to a different instance. Does this post mean I should be logged into an account registered on the lemmynsfw instance? Or is the reason I’m not seeing the NSFW content separate from this?
