75 in a 55

A big reason for that is so many places set the speed limit way lower than what is actually safe on that road. There’s a couple 3-4 lane interstates I drive on regularly that are just about perfectly flat and straight for 70-80 miles and they have the speed limit set to 60. Traffic permitting you can easily do 90+ on those, the only thing that makes it dangerous is the other people on the road that are rigidly adhering to the 60mph speed limit scattered through all lanes. If the speed limit was set more appropriately I don’t think we’d have as many problems with people speeding.

IMO (at least for highways) the most important rule that should be enforced is lane usage. Having everyone focused on the speed limit creates a situation where the people who rigidly follow them (while somehow still ignoring the one about keeping right if you’re not passing) end up spread across all lanes going the same speed while the people wanting to exceed the speed limit, many of whom are morons, end up tailgating the rule followers causing traffic congestion to bad, and creating a kind of “Frogger” situation with them weaving in and out of traffic to get by which is even more dangerous. So, since we’re never going to reach a state where everyone just follows all the damn rules. If we have to focus on one, the one that allows those faster drivers to pass by and reduces congestion would be preferable. People who want to drive a safer speed could still do so, they just need to keep right while doing it. That in my opinion is the safest way to go about it for everyone given human behavior being what it is. The day where we figure out how to get most people off the roads cannot come soon enough.

They have the same attitude about speed limits.

My brother’s wife bought me a pair a couple years ago and I was really skeptical but they are great. They also help me not get stressed out when I’m around loud children which was another big issue for me. I actually enjoy going to family gatherings now and don’t have to step away to calm my nerves every 30 minutes or so.

Same. I hate eating with other people unless theirs a loud tv/music in the background. I have found that those loop earplugs help with it at least but then you have to answer questions about what those are.

I’m past thirty and I learned to ve comfortable alone a long time ago. For me to get married or even just start a relationship with someone they’d have to drastically improve my life. It’s very unlikely some random assigned by the government is going to do that.

I use WSL for cli stuff and I have Mint running in a VM for desktop stuff. I briefly tried dual booting but it was a pain in the ass and I ended up rarely switching to the Linux partition in practice.

The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.

That it’s 7 years old and I can’t find a replacement that isn’t a downgrade in functionality.

Last one I had was when I turned 21. Which was great, but yea I’ve been lucky to get a dinner out since then.

Yea, that’s how mine is too. I fucking hate this thing. At least with mine there’s separate lights that are not controlled by the fan I can use.

Ceiling fans should all have physical controls. Shitty 4 button remotes that don’t even work half the time don’t cut it.

So we’re still better off without them.

You don’t think the massive amount of repetitive jokes and reposts and overall shitty attention whoring content was a problem on Reddit?

We need fedi to go mainstream to deny corpo trash profits.

Why? Who cares if we don’t have to interact with them? Becoming mainstream was the downfall of Reddit.

Agreed. Look what Reddit turned into. Better to have fewer but higher quality comments than a sea of the same tired jokes and ancedotes over an over again.

Cheaper just to beat you until you give them what they want.

I don’t want movie remakes. Make new shit.

My grandfather used to wrap our presents in the comics pages from newspapers when I was a kid. I loved it.

My opinion is content creators could host their own content and then links to these could be aggregated on sites like lemmy/reddit/twitter/etc for the purpose of discovery. This way one site doesn’t get to control the narrative by manipulating what videos people see and creators can monetize their content however they like.
