Nope. Some are beautiful, some are ugly, depending on artistic intent.

And they all get mad on the internet when you call them out on their shitty, selfish impatience.

How does that create a “massive road hazard”?

Are you one of those people that creates a massive road hazard by driving two car lengths behind the vehicle in front? Because unlike you I can explain in exactly what scenario that leads to a crash.

I don’t know what that is. You sound upset that someone is criticising your driving.

Just let me past bro. Just get out of my way bro. Just get out of my way or I’ll drive up your arse bro. My right to go fast is more important than your right to safely use the road bro.

I’ll move over when I’m good and ready. Which will be slower if some cunt is right behind me, because I need to make very certain, by double and triple checking my mirrors and blind spots, that you haven’t already decided to undertake, and that there’s definitely nothing that would cause me to have to abort my lane change, because said cunt will already be squeezing past me and I won’t be able to.

I’ll also need to lower my own speed so that their following distance is less likely to cause them to drive into the back of me in the event I have to emergency brake, and less likely to cause their own ruin if I have to swerve suddenly out of the way of some road debris that they than have no chance to spot because they’re trying to get into my back seats.

Your desire to go faster than the car in front does not overrule rules of safe driving. If you think it does, or if you’re so impatient you are unable to think rationally in this situation, your attitude is not suitable for driving a two ton machine at 70-odd miles per hour.

The sticker is wrong. Get out of the driver’s seat.

This is my impression too. The number of times I have been held up by someone hogging the outside lane, or had to change lanes twice around someone hogging the middle, is very low compared to the number of times I’ve been held up by a lorry overtaking another lorry on a two-lane road (perfectly legal, happens at least a dozen times every trip on such roads) or been aggressively tailgated while I’m overtaking traffic (not legal, happens about once per such trip)

Yeah. And they rarely give a fully articulated reason why “driving too slow is dangerous”. Because they know that the real reason - “it makes other people drive aggressively” - is trying to place the blame on slow drivers for the actions of actually dangerous drivers.

Of course, you should drive at an appropriate speed. But in terms of safety messaging, it’s not the thing to focus on.

If you’re that close to the car in front, you’re the bigger asshole and causing by far the bigger danger

Where the nasty ones at? My meme life got very tame after Imgur shat the bed

Taking glass to the beach is fine. Leaving it there is a problem.

I don’t think you’re really disagreeing with me except on minor matters of terminology.

It’s because public transport isn’t always profitable that it needs subsidy, because the indirect effects of a mobile population are extremely beneficial.

How does it show that when it’s describing events that didn’t happen?

If the events never happened, the point of the story is to derive some other kind of truth or message, which means the story needs to be interpreted to derive that message. If you interpret it the way it was intended, you get a message about the world being imperfect, even though you might believe in a benevolent God. If you interpret it in a different way, you’ll get a different message.

You should think about the biblical creation myth the same way you would think about any other ancient mythology. We’re not going around making fun of the ancient Greeks and their mythology because Zeus was a ho and the stories don’t make any sense through modern eyes: we generally take them as they are, and use them to understand how the ancients understood the world they were in.

As far as I understand, the only way to get anything resembling usable output for coding is with massive, expensive, labouriously hand-tuned models, not local ones.

None of it’s that fucked up if you interpret it as a creation story that’s about why things are the way they are rather than something that literally happened.

Creation stories do tend to involve incest because there weren’t many folks around. And you’re not meant to worry about understanding of deceit because it’s explaining why life isn’t perfect and served that function perfectly well.

Of course, this still presents a problem for literal believers. But they’re a minority (and have been for hundreds of years).

Not a shitpost

As long as a plant is growing, it is a net producer of oxygen. When plants consume oxygen through respiration, they convert glucose into energy, but in doing so they use exactly as much oxygen as the plant liberated when it created the glucose through photosynthesis.

Meanwhile photosynthesis provides glucose which is built into cellulose which is the plant itself, and this produces oxygen with no consumption.

Net result is net oxygen.

It’s news to me that GTA protagonists are typically upstanding moral citizens… I haven’t played GTA since 2, but I seem to remember going on mass killing sprees. Not to try and equate very different crimes but that’s gotta be at least in the same area code as mass child sex trafficking and abuse…
