  • Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates

    Jump

  • Please allow me this opportunity to jump in and complain about the minority, but not insignificant number, of people that don't seem to be aware that that is even an option (just taking your foot off of the gas/accelerator to slowly decelerate).

    Every couple weeks or so I seem to find myself behind someone that's always either accelerating, or braking, with the brake lights repeatedly flashing on momentarily for no apparent reason. It's like they realize that they're going just a little faster than they want, and definitely don't want to accelerate any more, so the only thing they know to do is hit the brake, instead of just taking their foot off of the accelerator. So they've hit the brake and now they're going too slow, so foot moves off the brake and back to the accelerator. Rinse, lather, repeat.

    End rant. Thank you for this opportunity to vent.

    Occasional weird spam posts by otherwise (seemingly) legitimate users?

  • I've been seeing these posts in various communities for at least a couple weeks. I've seen some communities ban the user, but then a different user starts doing it. No idea what's going on or what the point is.

    For those that haven't seen these posts and want to watch for them (if just for curiosity), sort by "New" occasionally. They get downvoted and/or deleted by mods pretty quickly, so they're not likely to show up in most other sorts.

  • Craig Fuller thought he was voting for business savvy

    How big of a fucking rock does someone have to have lived under for the last decade to have still thought Drumph had "business savvy" back in November?

    All the evidence that he's a grifter and a fraud was right there, in plain view. for anyone willing to look and see.

    You can lead a horse to water, but if that horse saw someone on Facebook say that the water has gayness inducing fluoride nanobots, well....

  • Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Problem is that Lemmy/Fediverse simply doesn’t have the established depth and breadth of information that reddit does yet, and reddit does have it because it sort of killed the internet forums that would have existed foe those subjects.

    That's the problem OP is asking you to help solve.

  • Wales tells 404 Media that her husband, Pelkey’s brother-in-law, recoiled when she told him about the idea.

    Edited to remove utterly extraneous information that added absolutely nothing of value or clarity to the sentence. This is her husband, the victim was her brother. We already know her husband is the victims brother -in-law. That's how that works.

  • unless I am confusing it with another petition thing?

    Yes. Obama had a petition thing directly on the Whitehouse website, and he would respond to those that got enough signatures. Trump obviously deleted it.

    My general opinion of change.org is that it's just a placebo for people to feel like they're doing something productive when they should be calling their relevant political representatives, instead.

    However, since the IA appears to have started this petition themselves, I agree with the other commenter that...

    if the IA want these signatures, perhaps they need them.

  • In times like these, it's hard not to wonder if this wasn't the act of someone on the inside following the Simple Sabotage Field Manual.

    More people should read it (it's short) for inspiration on what skills they already possess (or can easily learn in advance) to fight fascism when the opportunity presents itself

    Edit to add excerpt.

    Where destruction is involved, the weapons of the citizen-saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread, or any other materials he might normally be expected to possess as a householder or as a worker in his particular occupation. His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile, his own usual kit of tools and supplies. The targets of his sabotage are usually objects to which he has normal and inconspicuous access in everyday life.

    A second type of simple sabotage requires no destructive tools whatsoever and produces physical damage, if any, by highly indirect means. It is based on universal opportunities to make faulty decisions, to adopt a noncooperative attitude, and to induce others to follow suit. Making a faulty decision may be simply a matter of placing tools in one spot instead of another. A non-cooperative attitude may involve nothing more than creating an unpleasant situation among one’s fellow workers, engaging in bickerings, or displaying surliness and stupidity.
