Why does it have to be just like your sister?

Yeah, only total cunts do that

I dunno, this comes across as the kind of comment a racist pedophile would post, just saying.

Lando Calrissian and the Mindsharp of Sharu is basically Shakespeare

Good. I hope they ignore the company for 10 days just to twist the knife.

“I’m not a tankie, I just parrot all of their talking points and their weird, myopic rhetorical style.”

What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You’ll get a desktop that appears normal but can’t be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim’s mouse the wrong way around if they’re gullible and they’ll think the mouse messed everything up,

In much the same way roadkill ages better than a roadside piss bottle

The live-action Hobbit movies are the only movies that have a worse budget-to-quality ratio than Star Wars Episode II

I’ve already run into multiple people on Lemmy who do what I call the Reddit Special:

1. See an opinion you don’t like
2. Intentionally misinterpret the point to mean something else and attack that
3. Support your opinion by arguing backwards from your conclusion
4. Ignore all counterarguments when possible, return to step 2 when not
5. Try to “win” with pithy mic-drop bon mots at the end of your comment
6. Mask upset feelings by trotting out overly slangy 2am Chili style dismissals

For example a conversation I have actually had more than once on Reddit:

Person 1 - “I hate the designated hitter in baseball, it was more fun before, without it”
Person 2 - “Why are you in love with the old days so much? Do you want segregation back too?”
Person 1 - “Are you crazy? I just like it when pitchers bat”
Person 2 - “Lol. Clearly you have issues with being called out on your bigotry”
Person 1 - “You’re not listening, I said I like baseball better when pitchers bat”
Persot 2 - “lmaoooo I don’t listen to racists”

I agree, it is in line with their image, their image being “phony progressive platitudes on top of bog-standard corpro shit”. It’s pretty rich for B&J to be sanctimonious about stolen land when they also do a shitload of business in Russia, which is currently attempting to steal even more land and is murdering every Ukrainian civilan they possibly can in the process. They sued their own parent company for allowing a licensee to sell B&J ice cream in the West Bank—not a word now. The fact that Ben has donated over a million dollars to a political action group that sought to stop the U.S. from arming Ukraine is technically a coincidence considering he no longer works there, but their public stance is just as bad. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re also super into Greenpeace and Tienanmen Square Truthing.

Look up, you’ll see the point as it passes by

Not OP, but take a wild guess

Personally I would prefer guillotines and pikes

Damn, I think you might just be dumb. Listen, I can explain this for you, but I can’t inderstasd it for you. I’m done with you.

We’d pay more anyway, they’re just butthurt that the margins are smaller. You think the prices are going to come down if the theft stops?

I’m generally considered to have good reading comprehension

I have no idea why you’re thinking I’m anti-vax. I’m pro-vax.

Dude, seriously? Give me a break.

You have also said the following:

Ok, so if you read that - we’re going to take away the only form of transportation for these people and worry about fixing it later - that’s what lead to my initial reply.

Already wrong. But let’s continue.

Do you dispute this? Am I making an unfounded leap of logic that many people need a car to get to a store and bring back food?

Yes, you are genuinely making an unfound leap of logic, it’s called begging the question. That’s your entire problem, really.

And these people tend to not be in heavily populated areas.

Yeah you mentioned this a few times.

But the other thing that isn’t teased out that I can see is how that riskier driving interacts with cities. That is, NY data is by population overwhelmed by the NYC area, and maybe Buffalo. But that’s by land area - you know, places people might drive - like 1% of the state. So when you’re likely to be the only car on the road, or one of a few - how does the risk change there from a public policy perspective?

People don’t drive on the land per se, they drive on roads—you know, the places people might drive. Where the fuck do you think all the roads are? I’ll give you hint, it’s where the people are, as evidenced by every road atlas ever printed.

And let’s not forget these gems:

I’m also pro proving you can drive to drive, but we don’t do that in the US

Actually we do do that. It’s the aptitude test they have at the DMV when you get your license. The one you also have to get re-tested on when your license expires. The one I’ve been talking about this entire time.

I really thought your characterizations
>Letting blind people with dementia
was hyperbole because if that is what you mean exactly - I don’t think we actually let blind people drive.

I agree. I propose that people whose vision is naturally deteriorating be screened more often so that we catch the ones who are too blind to drive. Again, this is my entire point. You know what else it is? It’s already the law in some states, such as the one I cited, and those states have declining rates of road death, like I cited. And yet I can just feel that this is going to sail right over your head.
