If the headlights are higher than another driver’s eyes, the light will go straight and downward into their eyes. There’s just no way to highlight the ground without blinding drivers in front of you if the headlights are so high.

US has a very opportunistic culture, to an irrational degree apparently. If there’s less cars on the road people take it as an excuse to drive more recklessly.

Trees don’t generate large profits this quarter, obviously.

It’s about the service.

The same reason parallel parking is done backing in.

You’re missing the point, the article is wrong: it’s not about the prices.

I used it since netscape navigator XD

“Fuck it” is the objectively correct answer.

We’d have a more democratic parliamentary government and banned slavery earlier and without a civil war.

The revolution started because the brits made tea cheaper but some colonial merchants got squeezed out. We would all be much better off if they never revolted, and got their independence a little bit later like Canada.

Consensus is really only practical in small groups

Not at all, that’s the whole point of a republic, it’s consensus based.

You’re literally the only one talking about buying it, and it’s not YOUR software, it belongs to Microsoft. Your boss just rents it and makes a profit having you work on it.

I just do whatever’s easiest – just signing up for some of these services takes way too long to watch one 2 hour program. The money’s not an issue at all in my mind, im happy to pay $70 for baldurs gate 3 with a dedicated download server and installation package. But im not willing to spend half an hour downloading and installing some streaming service.

You don’t need to be an empathetic holistic person to get behind free housing for the homeIess. If you’re a truly selfish and purely economically oriented person, then you have to admit giving the homless free homes is economically the best solution for all involved. Alternatives include the taxpayer eating the cost of all the damage they do seeking shelter and survival, or paying a ton of money to police to violently deal with them.

If you prefer those to giving them housing, you’re choosing options that are more cruel and more costly – I don’t understand how that makes sense and yet plenty of people seem to choose that.

Yeah lemmy can do the same, but begging redditors to switch won’t help anything. I was part of the digg migration, nobody on reddit ever posted on digg to go switch. I just searched for something else, and reddit was there. I certainly didn’t spend a second thinking about digg afterwards, and i wont think about reddit either.

Not at all – it’s the people who use /s that are dumb.

Then just don’t write the opposite of what you mean. It’s not funny or witty or clever to write “Women should all just live in the kitchen, NOT.”

Sarcastic tone is stupid.

Am i wooshing myself??

That is literally the point of sarcasm. People legitimately wanted to murder Jonathan Swift.

If you write “/s”, just write the direct unironic statement in the first place.
