Not your imagination at all.

Clarifying my position is picking a fight?

Sounds like you’re the one out of clever comebacks.

Me personally choosing not to have gender transition surgery is Discrimination?

announcing you don’t want to transition is a completely random and pointless thing to do

We celebrate people transitioning, isn’t it a little bigoted to not also celebrate not? I mean accepting who you are on the inside is what this is all supposed to be about, no matter who you are, isn’t it?

you said you wanted the rules about homophobia and transphobia gone

Nope, not what I said. Read it again.
I said they were enforced arbitrarily, by mods who only hear what they want to hear.

you can be as homophobic and transphobic as you want

Lol see how easily you are triggered? I mentioned nothing about others. I can support trans people to be who they want to be and not desire the same treatment for myself. But all you hear are dog whistles, and that stops all discussion dead. It’s the basis for an echo chamber.

When my personal choices are see as “transphobic” the problem isn’t with me.

Right wing bots. That’s a good one.

Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

As long as these rules are in place and enforced arbitrarily by power tripping mods you’ll only see the woke bubble. Alternate ideas are not allowed. Try talking about any of the taboo subjects and see how quickly the ban hammer falls.

kbin.social is just as bad as reddit ever was. I said that I personally don’t want a transgender transition surgery and they banned me. These are not places where real discussion can happen.

I don’t mind downvotes. But I cannot debate when banned.

And there is no subtlety in the mods behaviour. They ban based on dog whistles that only they can hear.

They did it to r/de, no reason to believe they have stopped. https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/13p889x/reddit_admins_were_just_caught_using_bots_or_fake/

Booky.io is a decent bookmark manager. Switched to it after they killed Google Bookmarks.

Animalsbeingderps was a great sub! I knew they were tracking all reddit accounts but to monitor other websites is downright Orwellian.

It’s far better than reddit is but real discussions still aren’t allowed to happen. Before 2016 or so I was still subscribed to /politics because while we didn’t always agree, we could at least discuss. Then in 2016 everyone got TDS and became a fragile child, unable to handle adult topics without banning or reporting. Wrongthink became a reality. And it’s very much a reality here at lemmy.world and other large fediverse instances.

Not so much cars, but the drivers. This ‘safety first’ methodology that the DOT uses only serves to create bad drivers. Driving is inherently dangerous and we cannot design that out with roadway changes. We need to remove licenses and actually mean it. We need repeated testing for everyone, not just the elderly. If the police did anything but ticket speeders to generate revenue driving might actually get better. It only takes one asshole to ruin the flow of an entire interstate for miles. And they receive no punishment for slowing other people down who are going about lawful business.

PS. Induced demand is mostly myth. Building more lanes is how we gain more bandwidth. Even if the speed doesn’t increase the throughput will and that means more people getting where they want to be. That is how you reduce congestion.

Reddit search has always been broken, even when it was working.

Cities that don’t focus as much on car centric infrastructure are more pleasant to drive through.

You know what makes a pleasant drive? Getting where you want to go quickly, and without stops. And we accomplish that by accepting that cars are always going to exist. We must throw out the ridiculous notion that bikes aren’t pedestrians. They are not worth building out completely separate infrastructure which is the only way they are happy. They refuse to cooperate and share pedestrian infrastructure which is the obvious solution. They are selfish and pretend they are saving the world by making cars drive slower and stop more. One biker can cause more incidental pollution than if they just drove there instead and didn’t slow everyone down.

Car centric infrastructure benefits those with…cars. And as cars are the primary method of transportation, it make perfect sense to design our cities around this idea.

Transportation is the lifeblood of communities. Without roads and cars they literally cannot exist. If you remove roads you kill the community.

Unless you have a new method of transportation that is better than cars, keep your fantasies in your head. You want to walk go right ahead.

Had a totally custom beanie made at Etsy. See if you can find something similar. They can usually customize it to get a close match to the old one.

Big chefs knife is what I use for pizza. Though having a couple sets of scissors around wouldn’t be a bad idea.

The change happened when we lost all-over body hair.
