- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 2 days ago:
So, Tesla Robitaxis drive like a slightly drunk and confused tourist with asshole driving etiquette.
Those right turns on red were like, “oh you get to go? That’s permission for me to go too!”
- Comment on If one were so inclined, could you take your plot of land, parcel it up into 1-meter-squared (or smaller) sections, and sell each of those sections to different people/companies? 3 days ago:
cardsagainsthumanitystopsthewall.com
C.A.H. did something similar ish, crowdfunded a vacant plot along the wall and hired an eminent domain expert lawyer to stall the process if wall was to be constructed there.
I think contributors were given a recognition that they helped buy 0.00067% of the land, it wasn’t officially subdivided between the contributors nor were they given a share.

- Comment on How do you think early humans survived without water bottles? Did they just live next to water sources all the time? 1 week ago:
Going backwards in time, they had metal and brass containers, before that they had wooden buckets and barrels, ceramic pots, carved out animal parts or fruit of plants.
Before farming, probably a good portion of the water early people subsisted on was from the food they ate. (Berries and fruit, fish, meat, etc.) Water might pool around rocky areas after rain, even if there was no stream nearby in a pinch.
- Comment on What happens to the content if an Lemmy instance shuts down? 1 week ago:
So if a brand new instance is started, it does not retroactively receive any content from other servers. Only ones that were connected by a link at the time content was posted will have a copy, essentially.
To know which posts will be kept on different servers, look up your own username, e.g. lemmy.ca/u/TrivialKin@lemm.ee

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 week ago:
Some people are addicted to sugar to the point where every beverage must be sweet flavoured.
I have water, but othertimes I am sugar addicted so I want a different beverage.
Also I have had tap water in various places across Canada. Most are decent, some are especially delicious, some have awful after tastes and even smell weird (sulfur or chlorine). If that stuff runs to your home I can understand why people prefer bottled water, tea or soda instead of tap water.

Just give yourself plenty of time (arrive 3 hours before departure or earlier). Review your flight number and look at the screens every half hour to reassure yourself you’re at the correct gate.

If you want the Lemmy experience pre-Reddit exodus minus the communism, this seems like the place. Lemmy was less than 200 people at one point, look how we’ve grown.

- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 3 weeks ago:
Your comment highlights one of the difficulties I find with going between treating someone exactly as you would anyone else, while also dealing with particular sensitivities or sensibilities of that person. Even trying to describe how to be less offensive, includes wording that can sound offensive to some, justifiably so based on experience.
But all in all, I think most people will recognize good faith efforts and accept quick apologies and corrections when we make mistakes. We’re not perfect.

I think if you want more sympathy from Lemmy, you’d frame it more like “Hell yeah, someone published a video on how to pirate my videogame!! If you like it it’s on Steam/itch/GOG/wherever too”. Your screencap being fake or not.

I drive newer cars occasionally as part of a carshare program since I don’t need one for a commute and I live somewhere in North America that transit actually functions.
I do appreciate anti-rear end features but it’s only activated once on a bridge since I’m usually leaving plenty of distance in front. But holy cow, the nagginess of some features can be beyond the level of your average backseat driver.
Yes car, I know I’m on the shoulder because it’s a mountain pass and tractor trailer’s are roaring down in the oncoming direction. Yes car, I see that the vehicle in front of me started moving, but I’m not going to follow them left turning into traffic because of it you bonehead…
- Comment on Scientific conferences are leaving the United States amid border fears 4 weeks ago:
The US “America First” policy really seems to be to purge its own reputation and effectively sanction itself. If the Trump admin doesn’t want expertise, there are plenty of conference locations across Canada and elsewhere in the world.

The Not Found error page did not want to give you up, nor let you down.
- Comment on I can't believe this is a real article. Just wow. 4 weeks ago:
Lol. But the overall point is, regardless of whatever you believe in, the common theme of moral teachings is to be good to others, not how many hours you should work or how many times one should be beaten for a transgression. Anything else gained from religious text or tradition is a speculative interpretation brought from the ancient to the modern context, and should be taken and understood as such.

- Comment on Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No. 4 weeks ago:
First video was from somewhere around Toronto, Canada (my guess is Mississauga). Some places have very unclear signage of when bus lanes are active, when they’re not, disappearing in and out of existence sometimes, but that was a clear red lane that combined with lane data the Tesla’s camera based navigation system should have been equipped enough to handle it…
Sucks for the driver letting Tesla net him a fine and demerit points.
- Comment on I can't believe this is a real article. Just wow. 4 weeks ago:
If Americans want to mold themselves in Jesus’ image of Christian perfection, the rich men in the world have to give to the poor, aka eat the rich.
Matthew Chapter 19, verses 21 to 24
Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me." When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
