Thats the problem, on average rurally living folks tend to be more conservative.

FireRetardantto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Does it ever make sense to have the window open with AC on?8·1 day agoOn your point about drawing air in with the ac, most people without ac will try to use fans to achieve the same thing, often trying to run a fan from one open window aimed at another to pull air through the house. If you have multiple stories opening upper windows and blowing air out while pulling air in through lower windows is also effective. Adding a fan to blow air up the stairs can also help.
FireRetardantto Showerthoughts•Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem152·1 day ago100% agree. If whoopi goldberg had chose their name for gender purposes, i could see them getting hate and being told it’s a stupid reason etc.
FireRetardantto World News•British police may have shot 2 of the Manchester synagogue attack victims, one fatally, officials sayEnglish10·1 day agoIt is their responsibility to ensure that everything beyond their target is safe before firing. This can become a grey area whem walls or other concealment is behind the target or when the target is threatening enough people that the risk may be worth it to end the threat, such as injuring 1 bystander to save 4 other victims from being shot, almost like the trolley problem.
"Our experience tells us at an early stage that there are some crimes that are unlikely to ever be solved – such as those without a clear estimate of time or location for the incident or if there is a lack of CCTV or witnesses.
“The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV footage for these offences, the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm and providing a visible presence across the network.”
Well which is it, a lack of CCTV footage or a lack of time/police resources? They seem to flipping back and forth between these 2 excuses, even when camera evidence is available.

I honestly just assumed I upset bike riders who do view their noise as a safety net, which i would argue is mostly a moot point given the sound proofing of modern cars means you don’t hear the bike until it would already be too late anyway.
FireRetardantto Ontario@lemmy.ca•401 to be a 10-lane highway in Oshawa by 2028-end - Durham Post2·3 days ago2 tunnels by 2050, and a raised highway above the original by 2060, which will need to be rebuilt in 2070 to handle the increased weight of the electric f550s everyone is using as commuter cars by then.

I use spotify and i was very reluctant to start. Eventually i caved because i wanted an algorithm to help me find new music and for the most part spotify does a decent job at that. As things get more expensive it will be one of the first things I’ll cut out.
Most cities have noise bylaws. Revving an engine at 3am is usually in violation of those laws, running a lawn mower in day time is not. I get that it sucks they are loud and many lawns are useless, but its also much more dangerous to mow in the dark and more people are sleeping at night than in the day time. You also have to make some loud noise with our current standard mowing technology, but the same isn’t true for the cars in question, they are modified intentionally to be much louder.
But they need their bike to be loud so other drivers can hear them as they illegally pass, lane split, weave through traffic, and overall be a menace on the roadway.
Thats exactly why so many people think EVs are the only solution. They have never actually experienced fast, efficient, convenient, and clean public transit. The vast majority of the US thinks public transit equals an hourly bus thats never on time and reeks of piss, and thats a fair view because for many thats all they have ever been offered.
That game naming their body shops “rimjobs” went over my head for longer than I’d like to admit.
I’ve never heard of a case in traffic court where your outcome is worse than the original ticket, except in cases where an officer has reduced 30 over the limit to 20 over the limit, in which case there is a chance you will be charged with 30 over if you lose the case.
He should do a really bad job at teaching so he can increase his job security.
I love how vague this is. Extremism on gender is entirely up to the reader to decide the definition. To some people 2 genders is extremist and hateful, to others anything except 2 genders is extremist and also somehow hateful.
With some of the politicians in power these days, it will be pushed as finally putting an end to her climate lies or some other bullshit culture war topic.
