  There are bikes for handicapped people. And if cognitive issues are a thing, then cars would be far more problematic: crash a bike into a person, you get minor wounds. Crash a car into a person, and you get a death caused by the car driver (who sometimes gets off scot free).

  And if something is ableist, it’s cars for disabling you from walking anywhere due to the stroads taking up all the space.

  This is not the best argument. You could sell literally anything for drugs.

  If you wanted to tackle drug selling, the following works better:

  a) helping homeless people to get a home, b) unemployed people to get a job w/ livable wage, c) and having safe drugs made by hospitals under strict controls, and used by addicts in controlled environments like hospitals.

  The last one especially is crucial, however paradoxical it seems. It’s because then they don’t need to buy from other addicts or the sellers (who will be very dangerous), and don’t overdose, and with the extra money, can pay eg. rent, groceries.

  The “just kick off from drugs” doesn’t work - if you ever have had an addiction, you know that it’s hard. It only gets easier to kick off if other bad factors in life are removed. Only then is kicking off easier.

  Now, let’s wonder about cars…

  Only if you have the bicycle equivalent of a Ferrari and don’t lock it. Same as cars really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes bikes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For groceries you can use a bag on the back of your bicycle. Or a bag bearer. Or a bicycle with an extra long back.

  For going to the next state there’s something called “grow more muscle”. I know obese people here who manage to bike that distance easily.

  As for sleep, that’s for a bed. There are bicycles with which you can bicycle sitting in a comfortable position. Some of them also look cool as hell, velomobiles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a philosopher⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  there can be a pursuit of happiness in spite of the collapse of religion

  More like, thanks to the collapse. (And also if the economy were more social and people less far right!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences German humor⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Works in Dutch too.

  Twee jagers treffen elkaar. Beiden zijn dood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What if you’re stateless?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think I'll get a reply?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The irony is also that when lusting after a woman is prohibitied (and homosexuality is too), and yet you’re expected to “go forth and procreate”… how the fuck are you supposed to procreate when you can’t because your own rules contradict each other?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys a TV without researching⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That should be illegal…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it’s well known enough nowadays that I can imagine some people starting with that.

  That said, I think for beginning gamers, some of the classics like Pac-Man, Pong, etc. would be more suited. Or maybe Pokémon, oldschool Runescape…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Humanity” (a Civilisation-type game) has something like that, iirc. You can pick options, like being totally new to games, known with games but not that genre, familiar with civ and strategy games, and already played.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's PC works⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How about the CASH abbreviation?

  Created, Acquired, Stocks, Horseshit

  The order in which they develop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a quantum computer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine the particles as being so ridiculously tiny that it is impossible to precisely measure both their speed and their location. Because literally any action, even seeing (which depends on photons interacting with those particles), changes both parameters.

  ‘Measuring’ here is done by letting those particles interact with another; ie., you bump another particle into them. It’s currently the best shot we have. But, the very act of bumping this particle changes the particle.

  The more precisely you want to know the location of the particle A, the higher the energy of the particle B(ump) has to be. But the higher the energy, the less certain you are of A’s speed.

  View it like playing a game on your phone where the background is all grey. Touching the screen harshly and for shortly, reveals a pretty clear circle. But you don’t know which direction it moves in. If you touch the circle softly but longer, you see a diffuse cloud, but you see clearly how it moves.

  If your touch was somewhere inbetween hard-short and soft-long, neither would be particularly clear nor vague. Touch hard and long, and you create new clouds so you don’t see the original one anymore. Touch soft and short, and you only see a diffuse cloud whose movement you don’t know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes? I’m not the one stopping waiters from doing so. Waiters have to unionise and confront their boss directly as a collective.

  That way, even if the boss tries to fire one, they will all walk out. Have fun, boss, for underpaying your workers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon attempts wordplay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely don’t get the pun, what is it? Non-native in English here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys laxatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Anon is a bully.

  Germanics*

  Germans as an ethnicity did not exist back then yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shares how they survive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are called billionnaires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an ally⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hold up, doesn’t that depend on the transition costs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scalper economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Good housing can be done.

  Shortages are an issue, and desirable only by capitalism – because it drives up prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you help me find this political infographic?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh, that’s a handy graph, should be shared with more people who might not necessarily lean Pro-Harris but do care about the economy.

  Look up “social battery level pin” (through eg. Qwant or Startpage, and don’t use an Amazon link or such). You’ll find it.

  SSDI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i need an rv, and lab equipment, and a helper⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Link for those not using TikTok

  (at the end it features that vid)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people on the internet (and Lemmy) so quick to say someone "deserves to die"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a great quote and one I often remember, but I would also add this:

  “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death or to let live in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

  Live and let live works, but only if the other also does so. When one does not allow you to live as you want, because what they do harms you, then that ends there.
