I also think a collage of bumper stickers looks tacky. I wouldn’t condemn it in such strong terms as you used, however.

“proven science”

Vaccines are a good example here. Handwashing is another. We’ve had empirical proof on the latter since the 1850s, but it’s STILL super hit or miss whether people will bother :(

Yeah, that’s true. Writing alone isn’t enough for a good movie – I’m really just saying that it’s the most important element for me.

To me, not very important. Quality of writing ranks higher for me.

I don’t think a different voice can fix a bad movie. That being said, I can’t think of any actors whose voices I can’t stand.

OTOH, Brotherhood of the Wolf does come to mind here. It’s a French movie; I’ve watched both with subtitles and dubbed. The voice actor for the English dub doesn’t quite fit the character.

Is that a fact? Are you sure? Will you recant if it comes out that the police did, in fact, plant it?

Nitpick the lawyer’s phrasing all you like; it won’t actually change any of the facts of the case, whatever they may be. Myself, I’m not going to jump to “why bother having a trial? The police arrested him; he’s clearly guilty as sin” based on a Lemmy comment!

Almost like the lawyer thinks “they didn’t follow procedure” is an easier legal argument than “the police dept is trying to frame my client”.

Your comment made me think of DJs. Not “real” musicians? Seems like a similarly-structuree argument.

Glory to you and your house!

Ah, gotcha, yeah, that makes sense.

My own city has pretty good bike lane coverage, but it’s similar – cars have to cross over the bike lane to get into the turn lane.

Basic decency…gah. Yeah, I wish. :(

Not sure what “American car centrism” has to do with Chinese traffic regulations tbh

I found this article. My takeaways were:

1. No driving in bus lanes during certain times of day.
2. No using the shoulder as a turn lane.
3. No using a bike lane as a turn lane.

I think lack of goodwill plays into this, too. A lot of smaller sites can get away with stuff like “OK guys, the servers aren’t free, so we need to run ads.” and then have people super thrilled with them if there’s an option to limit or disable ads for donors.

On reddit, I think the attitude would basically be “get fucked, spez!”

Ha, fair enough. It is an admirable sentiment either way.

Torn between up voting the sentiment and down voting politics - I really don’t think this counts as a tech endeavor.

Two of my favorites are one-pot chicken riggies and baked ziti

Ah, yep, def when they called it Firefox.

This was essentially my same reaction to that comment. All I can think is that they imagined that this post said something like “Firefox bad because DEI CEO!” and reacted without actually reading the post.

Which … I mean, given the world we currently live in, is probably being said somewhere. But on this post, it’s a HECK of a non-sequitur.

basically when it was first released

Ah, back in the Mozilla Phoenix days? Or shortly after the Firebird->Firefox rename?

Sorry, ‘flue’ is just my incompetence at using the English language

No, don’t apologize; your command of English is far superior to my grasp of German!

(about all I can say is: “Ich spreche nicht Deutsch” and “Sprechen sie Englisch?” – and when I put those phrases into Google Translate to check myself, I found that I had the wrong word for ‘Englisch’ – I thought it was something like Anglit!)

Oh, I think that advice comes from a good place, it’s just misguided. People look at it and say “your partner shouldn’t be your cash cow”.

OTOH, I think it’s important for both people to be contributing to the household financially. That helps keep a certain balance in the relationship even if it’s just a token amount.

I think it’s more important that they come up with a system that they both think is fair. If moving in together leaves one person feeling like they’re being taken for a ride, it’ll wreck the relationship.
