I have an old “smart” Vizio TV from like 2012 (?) that has outlasted 2 new 4k smart TVs. I’ll stick with this guy till it pops

Followed by how Linux is so amazing

The alcohol thing is really just an east coast thing, and Utah.

Unless the driver wasn’t insured properly, Taxis cover your bodily injuries in an accident. They should have no medical bills associated with it, and the article is kinda vague on that. If anything they should be taking this up with the insurance company. Unless the driver wasn’t insured properly, and Uber didn’t do their diligence then yeah it’s on Uber.

This seems like these people are trying to sue for more than that though?

Do i believe that Uber is being shady trying to pull some garbage about a separate TOS, yeah that’s shady. They should take it to the next level of appellate courts, which I believe would be the Supreme Court now.

Though this isn’t apples to apples of the Disney thing.

So they were in an Uber, and ordered food on Uber eats, then the Uber driver crashed? Did I read that right?

Nah, the bullets would’ve just given up halfway through flight

Betteridge’s law of headlines. Any headline that ends with a question the answer is always no.

Maybe in large encampments but from my daily experience of watching a never ending battle from the police and a homeless spot they typically don’t do that. They just tell them to leave, but they just come back eventually.

Everyday I walk by a spot where homeless congregate. At the beginning of the week there a few rambling around. By EOW there are 30 just sleeping coming down from their high or smoking meth. The cops come, tell them to leave, then it starts all over again.

They aren’t exactly bothering anybody other than the smell and that the city has to power wash the parking structure on a weekly basis because they all piss and shit in it.

Look I care for these people, I’m not trying to sound all NIMBY here, but these are the type of people who don’t want help. They want to stay in their hole. The only assistance you can give these people other than abducting them and put them in a facility, is to tell them to leave and go to a shelter. Addiction is a mother fucker, and the only disease you can get yelled at for.

There’s literally dozens of us

I thought Ashoka was good, I just didn’t like that I had to watch a 5 seasons of an animated tv show to understand what tf was going on.

No one reads the articles man. I won’t lie, I’m guilty of it, but it’s mainly cuz Im lazy and go to the comments hoping someone will give a synopsis.

Never said it didn’t, but reddit is more left leaning than right as a whole.

Lemmy is just straight lefty though. I’m a liberal person so it doesn’t bother me other than it just being a massive circle jerk most of the time.

Look I understood that when I made that comment no one would like it, but it’s just the truth…

I’ve been here since the API garbage from reddit, and use it daily so I feel like I can make an honest assessment of my experience thus far.

I like it, its great. Better than reddit in a lot of ways. If someone is/was a heavy Reddit user I recommend it.

Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you’re in for a wild ride!

Also if you’re an American you probably shouldn’t be, because they automatically assume you’re from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don’t care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.

Linux is the best OS just don’t get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren’t here, and you’ll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.

And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo

The comments are slightly more interesting though.

It’s not all that bad though, I’m being a little sarcastic, but only a little…

Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who’s a cop.

Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.

I’m 38 and I just achieved that goal.

Don’t stress about this shit (too much).

Go to concerts, take trips, eat your avocado toast. Indulge.

You’re only young once, and everyone is poor in their 20’s. Unless you’re lucky or it’s given to you.

It sounds trite, but success will come. However you measure it.

Ok

You failed at nothing friend. We were just getting on the same page, and giving two labels for the same thing.

We are saying the same thing here man, you’re just not wanting to say commune because it’s too close to the word communism… When a commune doesn’t strictly mean a communist village.

The wikipedia you linked to even says that it’s a synonym for a commune.

Also being a tankie is way different than wanting more progressive legislation. Though I understand your point.

So… A commune then… I’m sorry I’m not trying to troll you, but you quite literally are defining a commune.
