Sounds like the guy has a few bruises but is otherwise ok. Things are bad when I'm wondering if police will be hanging around voting areas this election to try to prevent this sort of thing. Are they even allowed?
About 20 and growing. I also do it for my mental health. Social media isn't a place I want to take too seriously so my blocks are about avoiding people who seem agitated or seeking to create or participate in conflict with other members.
I'm thinking about clearing out my blocks every year just to get a sense of the land again, maybe when I'm feeling better I'll do that.
140 in 2 months sounds like a lot to me. Are you not blocking communities? That might be more efficient?
I tried to watch part 1 again tonight and I'm putting it down with about an hour left. 4k on a theatre screen with headphones and popcorn and I laughed out loud when Jessica and Paul were whispering to each other 20' away in the mist, when the gang strode off the ship accompanied by bagpipes ("shields up!") and that one time the Sardukar shouted "Sardukar" during the invasion. I'm done trying to understand what some people see in these movies. Absolute garbage as far as I can tell.
Our CEO announced layoffs recently and then even more recently sent a follow up email complaining about how people were complaining about it and saying how hard it has been for the executive team. We're a small company and I get the pain they are feeling due to financial constraints but at the end of the day we work for money and they are taking home 3-4x as much as anyone else each month while making all the decisions about how money is spent. It's hard not to become resentful.
Same here but I remind myself that multiple things can be true at once just like I can feel multiple conflicting emotions or hold conflicting thoughts or opinions.
Ya the point of uni is for research so you'll get all sorts of random stuff, but they could do a better job explaining the real job prospects of their degrees since that's why most people go to school. I was too dumb at 17-18 to pick a path.
I usually split my time between reddit and lemmy when the community I want isn't active enough. I'll lurk reddit and post/comment on lemmy. (/r/leaves)
Lots of drivers pass too close and too fast, and the majority of the time they want to zoom past me only to roll stop through the next stop sign or wait for me to arrive at the crosswalk and press the light. They'll also stop if a car is parking, or another car coming in the opposite. Nah, they can wait for me on my bike or they can use another any of the 100 roads specifically designated for them.
Though, not all the time. If I'm taking the lane it's for a reason. It doesn't help when drivers then use that moment to ride up right behind me. Car drivers treat bikers like shit and expect to be treated like royalty.
