One thing I dislike about streamers is when you can tell they are using their voice in a “hey you should take me seriously, I am obviously right” kind of tone, and are good at that, but the actual words are just repeating a common opinion and devoid of much any substance or argument. Like they think adjusting the way they say something makes them more right.
Only 85% of the population owns a smartphone, I thought for sure it would be higher than that
What about unjustly light sentences though? Like a sex criminal who is let off easy because he’s white, has rich parents and was on track to get a high paying career?
For starting a fire, look for bits of birch bark on the ground, it is extremely flammable and is much better tinder than leaves.
There’s also birds being loud and the sun making the inside of your tent too hot to contend with
You can also take off your shoe and use that
The smell is pretty hard to clean off
To me the part that seems the most wasteful is wasting the time of badly paid workers when you could just prepare food for yourself instead, and to a lesser extent the waste of your money going to a corporation, and the waste of real estate. I don’t think things like water use and extra plastic/cardboard trash associated with food is all that impactful or worth worrying about. That said I personally avoid going out to eat except in the rare cases when it is an unavoidable social requirement, so a few times a year at most.
Kind of sounds like they are just out to get him because he keeps protesting the lack of crosswalks
He also reportedly wrote an email to Charlottesville’s city manager which read: “There is a marked crosswalk now [at the intersection in question] in spite of you … It’s chalk[,] not paint[.] Please replace it with a real one.”
A police report that Cox shared with the news station alleged that officers were unable to determine whether his improvised crosswalk had been created with permanent paint.
Like he explicitly told them it was chalk and also you can just look at it
if it were me I’d be conflicted about whether to respond with just “k” or demanding a conversation about boundaries
Just looking at this picture makes my hands sweaty
Well I dislike them mainly because they further enable scalable mass surveillance. There should be more barriers to having records of where everyone is. As for automated enforcement, the way it works is often a blatant scam. I once had a commute where I passed by an intersection that ticketed people turning left, the amount of time it allowed was noticeably shorter than normal, and you could see the flash indicating they were ticketing someone basically every time the light changed, for multiple cars, because it activated if you were in the intersection at all after the light turned red. There was always a long line to turn left at that intersection. I mostly avoided getting ticketed but I did get one once, it was through a private company and I just ignored it and nothing happened. I really think most of those get set up because of corrupt relationships between people in government and the people running those companies that handle the tickets.
Electronic plate readers are an illegitimate anti-privacy technology and should be banned imo. License plates are already too hard to remember, I have a hard time remembering my own license plate number let alone one I had a two second glance at.
