  I agree. So if people are hearing it and demonstrating it with decibel readers then there’s probably little to no sound dampening.

  It could be but also mining facilities are ridiculously loud and the sound is very high pitched. Would drive anyone nuts if they could hear it.

  Car infra is the most ableist thing in transportation you idiot.

  Try being vision impaired and driving. Try being in a wheelchair and getting down the average American street. Try having a limp and crossing a large intersection in 20 seconds. Try being an entirely able bodied person and getting to the other side of a highway that cuts through your city.

  It’s actually spewing tire and brake particles everywhere. It’s responsible for 30% of microplastics in our environment. It should not be anywhere near our main mode of transportation in the future.

  You know the problem but not the set of reasonable or practical solutions.

  Anyways I and l look identical too in many fonts.

  Again you do not because the world consists of more than your interests and job description.

  In cases where something looks stupid but your knowledge on it is almost zero it’s entirely possible that it’s not.

  The people that maintain Unicode have put a lot of thought and effort into this. Might be helpful to research why rather than assuming you have a better way despite little knowledge of the subject.

  Most of the time. Sometimes it can lead to code that is ambiguous and ASI picks the wrong way to interpret it.

  What a stupid take, these are completely different and valid problems with entirely separate solutions. One of which the gaming industry has spent decades fighting and the other they literally just got tools for.

  To demonstrate a point more saliently than intellectually. That line hurt on purpose and it’s a good thing. It gets through better.

  I do hope my fellow dudes can handle the tiniesr bit of pain for a learning opportunity.

  Bro it’s that the inequality that the Kens are supposed to accept is just how it is.

  I think we both get that and I think it’s a great illustration. It actually hurt to hear that line as a guy.

  But that’s the whole point of it. If it hurts to hear that as a man about a fictional character in a movie how much does it hurt to hear that in your real life?

  The movie is not advocating for switching to matriarchy. When Barbie gets liberated she doesn’t leave Ken behind and tries to help him in his own liberation. Unfortunately other Barbies don’t understand this and are happy to have their power back while doing minor feel good policy changes for the Kens. This is how the world actually works in a lot of instances. The movie is demonstrating quite pointedly how the world is so that we can see and feel it.
