I literally do mean pedestrians, and it literally does mean being able to take a sharp corner. The hood design is deadly to pedestrians, and you’re so high up that you have massive blindspots. It is a machine that can and regularly does cause front-overs, meaning running pedestrians and children over. I absolutely hate how the most unsafe hood design is considered normal, and have and will continually lobby for them to be removed from the roads.

I do not care how safe someone feels inside. To everyone outside the car they are massive liabilities.

Learn up on them.

Edit: LITERALLY 2 POSTS AWAY FROM THIS ONE ON THE FEED. Happened yesterday.

Bicyclist swerved because sedan unsafely opened their door while parking, and large truck ran them over, killing them

Its becoming a cycle. Exec gets hype minded and tells their employees to fuck off. Gets big payout, and stock go up. Takes about a year for shit to really fall apart, with the realization that maybe AI can’t do everything. Sheepishly they start hiring again, but that knowledge is lost. Real recovery will be years.

They designed that vehicle without regard for safety. Then it was rated poor for pedestrian safety and people still bought it. They made the street safe for the people Ford and the buyer ignored.

Great point, I didn’t see them talk to any pedestrians or cyclists!

If he can’t make that turn he both bought too large if a vehicle and also is a shit driver.

Nah it’s okay, unless you want to for history and reference. Link

Ironically I had so much help in finding the info before it was removed that all I did was eyeroll at it’s removal. Will be looking forward to the update!

Bringing in both your threads, I agree. With only a handful of active communities, saying “this isn’t the right one” without pointing to an active community where it is a good one seems… destructive. Personally, if no hardware remains a rule, then it seems natural to then start a sister community which is hardware focused and Rule 3’s text then would recommend that community right in the rule itself. May not be such a bad idea now that I’m typing it.

As a mod myself on much smaller communities, that’s my view too. Even if there is something I personally dislike, it’s not my community, if it’s getting upvotes then obviously people are enjoying it. If I get reports I look into it, but it has to be a pretty blatent violation for me to step in. Why would I want to hurt engagement? There’s so few of us already here.

Oh my GOD that’s probably what happened to mine! I was discussing something on my last post and then suddenly the mod removed it because of “Rule 3”. Because we were talking about selfhosting. Which, all selfhosting is on our own hardware…, but I think my post leaned more hardware than the mod liked. Super annoying when you’re having a valid conversation, people are chiming in and helping, and then suddenly Removed: Arbitrary rule violation.

Thank you! Looking forward to hearing from you!

My only request/suggestion, is Rule 3. Rule 3 I think has been used way too often to justify removing posts seemingly arbitrarily. A blanket “No hardware” rule is restrictive when homelab and selfhosted are a venn diagram that are very close together. For example, you can’t talk about Unraid without also talking about what drive types you use. Or a post I’m thinking about posting, “What doorbell cameras do you prefer with HomeAssistant? and What NVR should I use?”. All selfhosted, all homelab, all interconnected… but I am afraid of posting it because of the iron fist.

That’s why I don’t necessarily blame one person here. George Carlin said it best. Selfish ignorant people vite for selfish ignorant leaders. If it wasn’t him it’d be someone else. The problem isn’t one person, it’s that such a massive amount of voters are selfish and willfully ignorant.

Yeah well what’s the profits this quattwr? I don’t have time to think about next quarter!

Yeah I think this is a tool worth having for mods. Maybe going through deleted posys and seeing who are repeat offenders.

To me, that isn’t building a community, that’s extracting from one. It’s no better than AI scraping. You got your answer and then keep it for yourself.

It was always meant to be great in dense areas, which it is, but marketers went all apeshit promising that it was going to be the second coming of Christ. Instead they should have shut the marketers ina corner and called it what it is, an enhancement to 4g. That 4g and 5g would hand off interchangeably.

This is why you should never let business dictate tech. They think they know what they’re talking about but they don’t, and end up pissing everyone off.

Huh, til. In programming it’s simply a way of ensuring something happens exactly one time

I don’t get it

We’re only holding ourselves back, at some point the subsidies for oil aren’t going to be enough. We’ll be watching the rest of the world continue on into the future that we thought we were heading towards

Stupid movies, think Will Farrell and movies like Anchorman and Step Brothers.

I thought I was top shit in high school and college, that I was so much smarter than the average person and that my tastes were above the general public. Turns out I was just a douche.

Now I know that humans are not binary, that you can like two things for two different reasons. I can enjoy something serious like The Brutalist or The Whale, and then I can also enjoy something silly like Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (Seriously, you should go watch that, Rachel McAdams is amazing in it). It really simply depends on my mood and my emotions in the moment and what I want to watch.

I’ve also learned that the rating system is broken, because it pits movies that are polar opposites like that in direct competition, and there is no way to compare them. Apples and Oranges. But that’s a separate topic.

You’re absolutely right, I shouldn’t have let them play with the outlets, and now they’re in the ER in critical condition. That’s on me, I apologize.

Right, what about the other 5 people that day who also claimed they were important though? Do you bug your boss every time? Working service it was near daily where someone would claim to know the owner or don’t you know who I am or something

In that case as an employee you also risk annoying your boss who is now pulled into this altercation that you could have handled. Then the fact that they were fired over this shows they weren’t a good boss anyway, so I can understand the hesitancy to bring them in.
