Yeah I mean unfortunately a lot of the risk is completely not the fault of the riders here.

Lol almost everyone I’ve seen on these things has that kinda energy.
I kinda like these, much better than driving but I do feel like a lot of these people are going to be killed or injured at some point.

World News@quokk.au•Israeli settlers attack journalists, including CNN, on the anniversary of deadly West Bank beating | CNN
3·4 days agoIt’s already happening. But institutions move slowly so they’re behind where the public is.
CNN wouldn’t be reporting this story if they were completely in Israel’s court.

World News@quokk.au•Iran has shot down 30 US Reaper drones, US official says
9·7 days agoYeah I love that I can just fully cheer for them to be shot down and I don’t have to feel bad that soldiers are dying.

Privacy@programming.dev•YouTuber Reckless Ben had his entire Google account subpoenaed in LEGO investigation
47·7 days agoYeah everyone wants to act like Ben is the innocent victim and while I agree the other parties did far worse things than he did due to the corrupt usage of government violence, his behavior has also been a bit unhinged and not all of what he’s said in his videos has been completely honest. Could have been handled a lot better imo.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Trump Secretary Says Bike Lanes Are DEIEnglish
39·7 days agoIt’s also critical race theory, fake news, communism, woke, antifa, and terrorism.
If MAGA had to stop using thought terminating cliches they literally couldn’t even complete a sentence.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Why can't comments be fully deleted on Lemmy?English
3·8 days agoYeah at least on old Reddit it shows something different depending on why the comment is no longer visible. So for example it says Unavailable if someone blocks you.

2·11 days agoCould be true. Depends on how you’re using the term too. I think people who self-identify as antifa might be more prone to masking. Whereas if you include all people who engage in anti-fascist resistance, which includes a lot of normie liberals and various people, I don’t think most of those people are masking.
Not really though. It’s a cudgel against political autonomy used against those the CPC declares dominion over, regardless of how those people feel about the fact.

121·12 days agoI mean resistance against the authoritarian government has been criminalized forever. Trump has made it a lot worse but it’s not fundamentally different than what was going on in the past.
But again, most anti-fascists don’t hide their faces anyway and if you watch any footage of their various protests you will see that.

1382·11 days agoMost antifa don’t even hide their faces and to the extent they do it’s because the government has (falsely) labeled it a terrorist organization, so participating in resistance against fascism could get you decades in prison.
These people face no such risks. They’re just pathetic cowards who want to intimidate others.

Technology@lemmy.zip•WhatsApp to allow people chat without using phone numbersEnglish
3·12 days agoFuck WhatsApp not sure why anyone uses it. I guess in some places it’s got a critical mass but still there are many better alternatives.
Are you somehow under the impression that the only possible identity is ethnic? Like when people say “I’m a New Yorker” do you reply back “Um, actually, New Yorker isn’t an ethnicity”?
And would the lack of ethnic New Yorkiness justify a ban on people labeling themselves or organizing as New Yorkers? Should we abolish the city of New York in the name of national unity then?












Hmmm interesting I definitely would guess it’s more dangerous. Not least because some of them can go quite a bit faster than a bike.
I wonder if there are stats yet or if it’s too early.
