The last 2 can be mitigated by just plugging in a different keyboard, the second one by just pulling the drive, the first doesn’t really need mitigation, but nothing a $5 wrench won’t solve.

• History shows everything I’ve ever been to including the “nope that top result in my search engine actually didn’t contain the search string anywhere in its contents and is thus useless to me.” pages
• Bookmarks are for things I routinely go to for years
• Tabs are useful results for the projects I’m working on now.
• Pinned tabs are the pages I visit multiple times a day.

None of those is a substitute for any other.

A bad driver never misses their turn.

If you signal in turn lanes or while switching lanes when no one is around you’ll build healthy habits of using your signal in all other appropriate times.

Signal every time you plan to deviate from your current lane of travel.

Also FFS, signal before you start to merge so that people know what the fuck you’re doing. Too many times I’ve ridden with people that got upset when no one is “letting them in” and they haven’t even bothered to tell people they want in.

CP does not mean:

• Cyberpunk
• Club Penguin
• Cleft Palate
• Cerebral Policy Palsy
• Conservative Party

If you’re on a Unix terminal it means “copy,” anywhere else it means what Josh Duggar is into.

To the small handful of socially liberal and fiscally conservative folks that found this thread let me ask a few questions:

• Does it make more fiscal sense to build a chemical treatment plant next to a neighborhood of people that can afford lawyers or a neighborhood of those that can’t?
• What is the social makeup of each of those neighborhoods?
• How did that social makeup come to be?

The hatred of property tax really pisses me off.

I have a mortgage on the house in which I reside. I have to pay property tax on the house in which I reside. My annual property taxes are less than half the minimum monthly payment for my mortgage. If I can afford my monthly payment I can afford my taxes. If I can’t afford my monthly payment the taxes aren’t the problem.

And what do I actually get for that less than half a monthly mortgage payment in annual taxes?

• 2 large parks with miles of walking paths, a playground, a basketball and a soccer court, all maintained and within 2 blocks
• maintained roads to my house that are cleaned regularly
• decent schools nearby

Yes, I recognize I got lucky and am privileged enough to have, not just stable housing, but that which I “own,” but that just makes my distaste of the hatred of property taxes all the greater.

They don’t pay attention to the world around them.

Of course not. It’s just the cover image of the discussion at hand and the owner of it is doing fine.

Not every Tesla is 80k

This one is though.

If you drive an $80,000 car you’re doing fine.

It’s praxis

The camera module is thicker than the phone and Samsung doesn’t think we want a marginally larger device with a fuck ton more battery and better cameras.

This isn’t one of those instances where freedom of speech is allowed.

I love how you just reiterated your erroneous point verbatim without clarification.

Be respectful of others.

Not sure what that has to do with this discussion or my comment.

Gonna ignore you now since you don’t have an answer to my question.

1. I have answered your question in a top level comment; your not liking the answer doesn’t mean I haven’t answered.
2. That’s your right as much as it’s my right to answer your question as I see fit or to point out the dichotomy of your actions and words.

It seems you don’t actually know what freedom of speech is.

Freedom of speech means the government can’t get you in trouble for what you say.

Freedom of speech does not mean what you have to say is valuable, relevant, or required to be protected, platformed, or promoted by private capital or individuals. Lemmy instances by and large are not products of governments used to curtail your right to say what you want–they’re private entities who’s own freedom of speech and association allow them to make a determination about whether you’re an acceptable entity to keep around.

If you think you’re an acceptable entity to keep around when no one else does, feel free to start your own instance.

Sure it is.

And even if it weren’t that doesn’t make your comment about you getting butt hurt from someone telling you to be better for seeking out where you can be a bigot any less ironic.

Perhaps you should rephrase your post then to indicate you’re actually interested in bigotry affirming instances instead of instances that refrain from being a government entity that controls expression.

They are different.

Pretty much any Lemmy instances I suspect supports freedom of speech. There’s not really any evidence that admins are colluding with the feds to control what you say.

What may be happening is admins deciding of their own volition to not platform certain types of comments. Notably that doesn’t stop you or anyone else from saying whatever; it just means you gotta do it somewhere else, like your own instance.

This is the most ironic comment ever.

I live in Denver. So…kinda. Just gotta wake up early and drive an hour and a half.
