  • Trucks in SEA often do, they have this warbling "hey, I'm here", and then a much more aggressive "get the fuck out of the way!". People also modulate their bike horn to just give a little chirp so the person you're passing knows you're there, or two to say thank you, 3+ loud ones to say "get out of the way", etc

  • Every time I board a subway in China or Korea, I should carry a projector and show the people waiting how good the Japanese are at getting on and off subways. As long as it's a platform with a full wall, and not the half wall a mob of people could potentially chuck you over.

  • Nah, splitting to pass and filtering to the front reduces stress of traffic. Also the physical action of operating a bike plus more opportunities to use more than 10% of your vehicles performance gives more dopamine, unlike driving.

  • No no no that guy was 100% right, you let people off or youre slowing everything down. I suppress the urge to yell that every time I get on the subway.

    But lmao no public transit is not as stressful. People take naps on trains and buses all the time. I very rarely see people sleeping while riding a car or bike.

  • The rotational inertia of Einstein boring through the planet is responsible for leap seconds.

  • Why are you so liberal?

    Jump

  • No no no, you see the other capitalist party is the only reason this thing that we, the working class, all want and the politicians and their friends dont want didnt happen. If youd just vote harder, they'd do it.

  • The dems used every tool at their disposal to make sure Bernie lost the primary in 2016 and 2020, and canceled the primary in 2024.

  • Yes, the model common to the Nordic, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.

    Not criminalizing solicitation or brothels increases the number of prostitutes who end up working under coercive conditions.

  • See, its true because there were 2 liberal candidates and they were both pro genocide.

  • Weirdly they are more progressive when it comes to prostitution; prostitution isnt illegal, but soliciting it is.

  • Applying nuance and researching more context instead of jerking off while grunting "china bad authoritarianism" isnt defending or excusing. You're just annoyed they dont join your circlejerk.

  • Correct. But at the same time, once you understand your speech is limited by your reach, which is determined by how big of a megaphone the capitalists will let you have, it becomes more murky. You can say whatever you want in America, and if the government doesnt like it, you will be silenced and ignored. The same applies in China, but there is a greater record of the government actually listening, though often to the worst groups, such as nimbys protesting the expansion of the Shangai maglev and assholes protesting even limited lockdowns in the city with the most covid that keeps infecting the rest of the country.

  • I cant speak about all of China, but of the 6 cities Ive been to, each had far more accessible child-care-related facilities than the US, from schools within walking distance of tower blocks to more parks and infrastructure/personnel to help kids get there without crossing busy roads, to massive libraries with play places, movie theaters, family restaurants, to tiny amusement parks.

  • To be clear, writing and posting erotica isn't illegal, its profiting off it that was illegal, which is still fucked, but less of a free speech issue.

  • No, and there weren't in Ukraine, but the US has spent half a century and billions of dollars to ensure every last person on that island is ready to be sacrificed when the time comes.

  • Under Britain, Hong Kong was a literal bourgeois democracy. Like not as in "the capitalists are really in control", but "only 18 of the 59 seats weren't appointed by major companies, representatives of the crown, or the governor". Hong Kong has only known anything remotely close to democracy under China.
