  Isn’t that exactly what OP’s screenshot is depicting?

  Maybe Wise? I suppose it depends on your needs as not a whole lot of people use Wise.

  Precisely; for context, it was recently discussed in Dutch media how some of these e-bikes reach 60 km/h. Together with a culture of people refusing to wear bicycle helmets, there’s certainly some more nuance and middle ground.

  There needs to be some kind of solution, but doing nothing is not really an option.

  How is this the warehouse’s fault?! They have a sign!! This is demonstrably 100% Google’s fault for not knowing the numbering system inside a private industrial park and how it maps to exact GPS coordinates. This should work infallibly every time and require absolutely no correction from the business owner or user feedback.

  (/s in case that wasn’t abundantly obvious)

  Am I taking crazy pills? Apple Maps is first of all (from my experience) orders of magnitude less reliable, and second of all has worthless recommendations and business ratings.

  For what it’s worth, I never argued that shoplifting isn’t stealing. I only pointed out the absurdity of the argument that piracy is justified.

  Feel free to educate me on the basic concepts I’m feeling to understand.

  The mental gymnastics people use to excuse themselves of their entitlement continues to amaze me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't play an EA game via geforce now⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot take:

  Shoplifting is virtually always justified. By shoplifting you are simply opting out of transferring wealth from consumer to big business which could be seen as a redistribution of wealth (however small) from rich to poor.

  Courageous to make such a comment on Lemmy, where the community will bend over backwards to justify piracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Hey Google, find the nearest Burger King" - "Sure, here is one on the other side of the globe!"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Completely agreed; your remarks resonate with me. I have found that the “hive-mind mentality” is prevalent on Lemmy, in particular in this community and to the extent that discourse is actively shut down with inane comments that just mope and complain on top with in-depth or factual corrections downvoted.

  I personally find this exceedingly frustrating. On Reddit, most context and constructive debate was found in top comments. However, here on Lemmy, it’s more at a high school TikTok level, with top comments typically all very similar; mostly “some company is evil incarnate” or “I proudly pirate copyrighted material and here are the ways I’ve justified this for myself.”

  None of this contributes to an informative comment section and it grinds my gears. I just wish this community would be better.

  While you’re at it, might as well swivel his truck’s rear end behind the column so he can’t get out.

  Which developing countries specifically does this recommendation apply to?
