I’ll never understand the ‘Mexican food gives you diarrhea’ bit. And if it does, there’s probably something wrong with you.

Man this just made me incensed. With every day, I find american lawns more and more and more egregious. Massive, unproductive wastes of space.

Yalls care too much about billionaires. This is entirely irrelevant to me. Who cares?

I’m sorry but you’re a clown if you think AI is going to be a tool used to help the little guy. Is like zuckerberg claiming Facebook will help connect and bring us together.

Was this supposed to be funny? Where’s the joke?

Genuinely don’t understand why this is being downvoted.

I’m all for valid criticisms, but mediocre dialogue and one-dimensional characters? And your fave movies are Momento and Reservoir Dogs? The math ain’t mathing.

Like what you like, but I call bullshit. Logging this under “I said some controversial shit to stir up online discourse.” Enjoy my downvote, sir.

Lived in STL and Chicago. Both cities are driving nightmares, but STL is worse for the exact reason you mentioned: predictability.

In Chicago, there are tons of asshole drivers. Probably more than in STL. But you know what they’re gonna do and where they drive, so they can be avoided. In STL? Another story. It’s not just that there are asshole drivers in STL, it’s that they genuinely don’t know how to drive on top of being assholes. (Don’t get me started on Missouri’s “driver’s education” requirements.) It literally is the wild wild west of driving.

I’ll take an asshole chicagoan who actually knows how to drive over a St Louisian any day. The amount of just driving through red lights is unreal.

Wow, really Lemmy? Fuck bothsidesism. Fuck horseshoe theory leftists. Democrats suck, but one side is way fucking worse and causing way more damage. Would bet my life OP sat out the last election and is the literal reason why we’re here in the first place. God I hate tankies.

You actually didn’t watch people get blown up live. The crew survived the fire blast—it was the crash into the water ~3 mins later that killed them.

What fucking america are you living in? That might be true in some cozy suburb of Burlington, Vermont, but as someone who’s lived in Chicago and St Louis, the “Le Indians” reality is FAR closer to the american experience

These deaths are policy choices by lawmakers who value ‘business’ over people’s lives. There is no justification whatsoever to licensing someone who drove drunk and killed someone.

This isn’t fucking hard. It’s simple: if you drive drunk and hurt/kill someone, you permanently lose your license to drive. Forever. No exceptions.

One of the main reasons people oppose these types of consequence is for business: people rely on cars to get to work, so if you ban a bunch of people from driving, employees can’t get to work, which is bad for business.

It’s fucking sick. I’m so tired of living in a country where lawmakers put economic interests over people’s lives every. single. time. If it’s ever safety vs money—money always win every time. On so many fundamental levels, government in the US moves farther and farther away from serving the people, this is an example of that, and I’m fucking done. We need new governments; we need a new social contract.

Also, shut the fuck up about how cars are debatably more comfortable.

If it’s pouring rain outside, would you rather sit in a car or on a bike? If there’s a blizzard outside, would you rather sit in a car or on a bike?

Like shut the fuck up with your dumbass bad faith arguments. You just want to be right. I fucking hate cars, but they’re literally designed for a comfortable, air-conditioned sit.

God I hate bitches who just argue for the sake of arguing.

Your response proves you’re not from america and have no idea what you’re talking about 🤣 (americans don’t know what kilometers are)

You’re genuinely brain-damaged if you think bikes are more comfortable than cars. No citation needed—it’s called having an ass. Like bikers literally get injuries for sitting on those microscopic seats for too long.

And we were talking about bikes, and you started talking about how amtrak is more convenient. Fucking huh??? Again, brain damaged.

Said like a true european or someone who lives in a huge city with biking infrastructure.

The fact that the worst of it is concentrated in the US south is very telling

Can we put down all billionaires already? Worthless leeches on society contributing absolutely nothing.

Yeah I stopped reading once it said that weird pic was AI generated. If you want me to read your science article, don’t throw shitty AI images at me because now I have to think ‘what else did you use AI for?’

Gotta love 2025. Is this an alt-right post or an alt-left post? No one can tell. Horseshoe theory, etc etc.
