I mean many of them could, and probably would increase profits if they did. But yeah, most won’t.

Man shit like this drives me nuts and it seems to happen so often. Also it irks me when people have plenty of space on a large sidewalk but for some reason get really close to me. Especially runners. No one needs to smell your sweaty ass, man, use the rest of the sidewalk. It’s right there.
- Comment on Anyone feeling like doesn't belong anywhere? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve kinda always felt that way. I grew up in a rural American town and was bullied a bit and felt isolated socially because I didn’t feel much kinship with anyone outside my family and literally a couple friends. I’ve moved to bigger cities multiple times but I fear the damage is already done to me socially so I haven’t made many lasting friendships. In general I honestly have this weird feeling that I belong in Europe. America just sort of grates on my nerves in every way and it took me until my thirties to realize that’s what it was, after traveling to Europe.
I don’t know if there was any aspect of me being a curiosity, not being German or something, but I kinda ended up making some quick friends at a bar in Germany, something that would never happen to me in America. I have felt I could relate more to most every European I’ve met than most any American I’ve met. It’s really weird because for this to make sense I’d need to have been passed down genes which skipped generations randomly that make me more “European”. All I know is it’s always been a real feeling that I don’t belong in the US and that lessens when I travel to Europe. Everything about society makes me sense to me there and I don’t have this persistent feeling of being alien in my surroundings, even though I am. I can actually talk to people and feel like they really are interested in what I’m saying. I feel I can find good restaurants easier, everything seems more approachable, logical, and interesting. It’s hard to explain, I just have never felt at home in America and it’s been way worse since 2015 when people supported Donald fucking Trump for president. At the same time, I’m intimidated and overwhelmed by the thought of moving overseas and now that I have a partner it’s a lot more complicated to do so anyhow.

It’s a reference to trump calling Alex jones, Candace owens and some others “low IQ” in a recent social media rant. Thing is, no one is gonna know this and they’re just gonna wear a shirt that accidentally admits a harsh truth lol

It’s going to be hard to satirize Infowars. This is a real shirt Alex Jones is selling now:
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 2 weeks ago:
I thought of different ways to word a response and then I saw another user put it perfectly already:
If the goal is to reduce speeding, road design plays more of a factor more than cameras.
A fine means that it’s a revenue grab.
I would just also add that anecdotally they don’t seem to slow many people down in my city. I have gotten at least 5 speed camera tickets since I moved here, and every time I was going the speed of traffic and was unaware a camera even exists there. This city also has a huge problem with horrific driver behavior that goes unaddressed. I’ve seen some of the craziest shit ever here but I’ve yet to see anyone pulled over for a reason that didn’t appear to be related to a “worse” crime, as in they’re searching the person’s car and it looks like they’re about to go to jail. So I have to believe that the primary concern is making money, and if they work overall (providing the data people always tout) it’s a coincidence/accident. Most of that money goes to corporations too so even if you wanted to argue it doesn’t matter if money is the main driving force, you have that additional layer of the whole thing being corrupted from the start by capitalism.

Yeah… it’s basically:
“I don’t see why you people get so mad about censorship that treats adults like babies!”

I’m surprised no one has challenged you on this. (I agree with your point, but people do tend to defend cameras zealously)

I agree although it wasn’t just not helpful, it was not helpful and also self righteous and off topic.

It is not. There’s a reason he didn’t post an image with himself as a demon instead. He thinks he’s Jesus. Why would I discard that as “random”?

You literally made a new account because you were worried people could use Lemmy in public? I guess I have to keep blocking you.

leftists fighting leftists
That’s basically most of what this platform is, I’m realizing. It is always expected to some degree, but there are a lot of users on here who seem to live for starting that up. They act like they’re on a mission from God and are required to do it. OP is 100% like that and I’m blocking him momentarily. I suggest everyone do the same.
- Comment on silly costume dance 4 weeks ago:
I tagged you “fake leftist” months ago and you never fail to deliver on that. People who act like this make it obvious that there’s exactly one thing that matters to them: feeling morally superior to anyone who doesn’t know or believe the same things they do. You all go on about how America was always fascist as if all versions of shitty, evil, or corrupt are the same.
You all say reality-divorced things like “I’m an anarchist bro I want all government to die!” (And in this case literally providing a plan to create a government that reads very authoritarian/communist). I hope you’re all under 16, for your sakes.
It’s absolutely exhausting to read this shit every day. “Americans are getting what they deserve haha look how morally superior I am!” Human beings are pretty disgusting, I’m seeing it more every day, but a particularly unpleasant version of that disgustingness are the people who want to kill the innocent and think it makes them better than everyone else. I’m blocking you now because your toxicity, while on display in others on this platform constantly, is not just not bearable. It’s not unique. It’s not smart. It’s not helpful. It’s truly worthless unearned self righteousness wrapped in “I read some books, now I know which people deserve death and which don’t”.

The difference is I’m not pretending my blame is indefensible and high minded because I know the TRUTH.
