Freenet is very much not safe. Accessing any kind of dissident/illegal content is a quick way to get a visit from the FBI/FSB party van.

This. I’m tired of this woke paternalism that’s infected modern social media. Uncensored is the future, for everything.

I know someone who was banned for posting pitbull attack statistics. The pitmommy battalion mass-reported her account for "racism".

The FBI wasn't reigned in after killing dozens of women and children in cold blood at Waco, I'm not sure anything will at this point.

The rittenhouse bit is entirely irrelevant. The sex offender you're discussing is on video, from multiple angles, attacking him. He's also on video acting like an unhinged lunatic prior to the altercation. (He's a white dude

The elite don't pay taxes the same as everyone else, this is largely true throughout history. (Numerically) progressive taxes are a tool by the elite to enact unjust regressive tax structures on the middle and upper-middle class to pre

>less stopping power True, but I think it’s better said as longer stopping distance. This is fine though. The speed limit should be the speed that no reasonable person would exceed, but what we have in the US is in fact the speed no reas

The problem with most of this data is that it is preposterous on its face. Really, 30mph car impacts with pedestrians had an 80% fatality rate? What about 45, 75, and 150 MPH? Should we analyze those as well, or should we realize how silly

The perpetrator might be the primary victim, but what about dependents? Collectively as a society we’re all harmed by the sky high heart disease death toll. It makes COVID look like a picnic, but we do so little about it.

That’s only until 2013. As of 2020 the consensus is that the Flynn effect has reversed. We are in cognitive decline now.

Progressive (numerically) taxes are socially regressive and profoundly unjust.

This is only a problem because of our absolutely crap-tier city design. 5,000lb, 100+mph (capable) motor vehicles are in an entirely different class than pedestrians and cyclists. They really should have segmented transit options.

I love riding bikes in neighborhoods, trails, a greenway-like city paths. Despite it being perfectly legal, I have a hard time finding people who choose to "share the road" with 5,000lb cars going 45+mph anything but crazy. You&#x

Bingo. "Reckless driving" is a much better term, but it's more contextual than a lot of authoritarians and administration-types like. 25MPH can be reckless in specific scenarios. 120MPH can also be safe in specific scenarios.

by zionic 4y ago
I'd argue distracted driving is far more causative than the speed limit. Remember that my 60% claim was someone doing 25 in a 15 in a neighborhood. 15 mph is unreasonably slow in even the worst-case scenario. The real speed-do-not-exce

This is another thing I hate about the term "speeding". It makes no distinction between someone doing 55 in a 15mph neighborhood with playing kids, and someone doing 90 on an autobahn-tier controlled access highway with no traffic

There it is, "speed as a factor" (or in this case, a variant). This is a classic law enforcement trope. I'm sorry but no-shit "speed" is a factor in a collision, so is the strong nuclear force. Stating such a thing
