  My sisters tongue swells up pretty badly if she has any mustard. Validated it with ground mustard seed. I had never heard of it either before that, but we did some googling and it’s a thing.

  Not at all likely, and until then, is still 100% factually accurate.

  That still leaves “rapist” as indisputably factually accurate.

  I mean he has been proven in a court of law to be at least 2 of those, so… you know…

  Yeah that’s what allows me to afford to live here, lol

  Only thing I’d say (as a cyclist) is that “skill issue” is not a great reply for all cases. My city swings from +40 to -40 and it’s not uncommon to see wind chills down below -50. Winter cycling is not always viable, which is why a robust transit network needs to include a variety of options.

  Otherwise, this is a good comment.

  If you’re going moderate or short distances in a city, odds are it will literally be faster to bike, even at a no sweat/leisurely pace.

  Average speed of commuter traffic in cities is sub 20 kph.

  Majority of lemmy users are US based, and the overwhelming majority are western. Similarly, the majority of lemmy users are pretty leftist compared to the average citizen.

  It shouldn’t be surprising that we’re not hearing much about bad stuff happening in China. And that’s not even accounting for the difficulty in getting trustworthy information out of China.

  If you want examples of semi-recent stuff from China that largely got passed over, take a look at the civil unrest regarding the apartment fires during China’s COVID lockdown, the forcible repatriation of Chinese citizens abroad, suicide rates in major manufacturing hubs, the huge economic hits in real estate and public/private transportation infrastructure, etc.

  There’s a lot going on that we simply don’t hear about because people tend to share what relates to them.

  Sit’s docs are good. Trust them.

  Yes I started running a Stay in Tarkov server last night for my friends. Pretty easy setup and while there are some minor bugs, it’s pretty good!

  Bye bye BSG, I held off on SPT for a long time to support you… but no more.

  Not even a commensurate increase in average remuneration since the 90s
