  • JK Rowling slammed for asking if she can be Black if she likes “Motown & fancy myself in cornrows”

  • People will probably study this phenomenon for a long time to come, but people become wildly fanatical when a person in power shares their bigoted views and people in power can't seem to resist turning it up to 11 because those types of fans make you feel like an absolute god.

    Maybe from her POV being famous for writing the books became mundane, but all these people suddenly treating her like she's a sociopolitical genius probably hits that reward button so well she just can't stop taking another hit.

  • xkcd #2932: Driving PSA

    Jump

  • At 100 km/h (low-end highway spreed), or 1,666 m/minute, or 27.7 m per second, a 2 second gap leaves approximately 56.6 m (185.6 feet) between cars. With the average car length being 4.9 m (16 feet), even the absolute worst driver can merge in a space ten times the size of the average car, assuming they're matching highway speed.

    Most people have no actual concept of how long 2 seconds actually is or how much space it would leave in reality.

  • Yeah, that's because you know how to drive. I can't tell you how many people just turn in front of a truck and expect it to slow down for them. Playing with their lives.

  • Another thing that enrages me is people who think driving slowly is safer for whatever reason.

    Getting on the highway? Let's SLOWLY merge at 60% the speed of oncoming traffic.

    Changing lanes from stationary traffic into a full speed lane? I won't wait for the lane to clear, I'll just turn signal and move into the lane REAL SLOW because that's safe.

    Turning right? Let's slow down to a complete stop and force traffic to a halt so I can turn right.

    As a delivery truck driver I can't tell you how many people think that everyone else can just stop on a dime for them and they're being safe because they move over at a snail's Pace.

  • Yup. Be predictable, not courteous. You'll save lives.

    I'm fine with moving forward and using his car as my new stop line until the lane is clear. He's the asshole for assuming everyone waiting behind him wants to be as courteous and patient.

  • Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?

    Jump

  • What does what your ancestors did have to do with what we now know about modern factory farming? The question was about still eating beef despite what we know today, what does that have to do with your ancestors? Is your comment not the very definition of a strawman?

  • This is why I always advocate for arming and armoring the homeless.

  • How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

  • I always look "mate" to be totally gender neutral.

  • Well, of course. Aren't they the only ones using Twitter these days?

  • I get angry enough that a cop pulling me over for speeding carries a gun, or that every emergency call needs to be responded to by jackbooted, militarized thugs when less than 15% ever involve violence. I can't imagine living in a country where every scared little baby had easy access to firearms.

  • These are Alex Jones' exact talking points. He is literally just regurgitating rhetoric.

    Life's funny that way.

  • Nah a lot of people thought her name was Heather Brooke because Heather and a girl named Brooke were in a video and some early internet user named the bootleg video Heather Brooke. Many people, including this reporter, were under the mistaken impression that that was her name. Her actual name is Heather Harmon.

  • ‘I’m not buying new stuff any more’: the young people getting into ‘degrowth’

  • I look for thrift stores in or around proper rich neighborhoods. There's one I go to that routinely has stuff from last year or that no one's ever worn, tags and all.

  • Argentina Refuses to Supply Fuel to Cuban Planes

    Jump

  • Cuba repossessed land that foreigners in the US (Florida) were making money off of so they could support their own people. The dispossessed Americans turned this into a voting issue and have had the US leadership by the balls over it since. Other countries in the region who want to suck up to the US uphold the embargo on their end as well. This keeps Cuba in a constant state of extreme poverty. It's violence.

  • I went there a few weeks ago before a trip to Manhattan and it was legitimately great. Reminded me of Montreal's DicAnn's.
