The problem is that red light cameras incentivizes cities to encourage dangerous driving, because it is now a revenue source. Multiple cities have been caught illegally shortening yellow lights because shorter yellow lights cause more red light violations, yielding more money for the city and also increasing the rate of accidents at those intersections.

I’m… genuinely confused. My comment was definitely on the right post yesterday. I’ve never seen this thread. I blame kbin shenanigans.

Acutis was beatified by Pope Francis in October 2020 after a first miracle was attributed to him, involving a Brazilian boy born with a pancreatic defect who said he was healed after praying to Acutis.

According to Vatican News, the news portal of the Holy See, the second miracle involved a Costa Rican woman whose daughter had a bicycle accident and was given a low chance of survival by doctors

Has the bar for “miracle” always been that low? People don’t die around me all the time, can I be sainted?

For what it’s worth, I totally agree. We’ve "lesser evil"ed our way into voting for genocide, the greatest evil. Sorry that things are going to get worse under Trump, but there is a 0% chance that I vote for either of the genocide candidates, even if one is worse than the other. Democrats will have to lose elections until they field an anti-genocide candidate for the presidency (I can’t believe that’s a qualification now).

A grocery store near my house has an entrance exactly like this, except the roads are 3 lanes each. It’s genuinely a nightmare to navigate if it’s even remotely busy.

“If it’s not directed by a trans person, it’s not technically the Matrix; it’s just sparkling cyberpunk.”

It’s only a scam if they’re being misleading. I’ve never heard anyone say “get an art degree, you’ll get rich!” It’s not a scam to study art simply because you want to develop your knowledge and talents in a structured way. Should art degrees cost as much as they do? Probably not, but “expensive” and “scam” are two different things.

Conversations about language aside, the error is that “Monday” is a string with a length of 6.

“LGBT” doesn’t have to be a conscience or religion belief. You can just state that heterosexual marriage against your beliefs.

If the choices are “enthusiastic genocide” and “genocide with some light tut-tutting”, then democracy failed.

I went to JULLIARD, Richter!

Strange to see Zullie outside of the FromSoft space, but also, 100% accurate point.

The new attitude, coupled with a cost of living crisis that leaves many younger generations unable to afford a party lifestyle, is having a knock-on effect on the nighttime economy.

Title is blatantly misleading. Gen Z wants to party as much as their predecessors did, they literally just don’t have the money to do so.

Among other things, the anti-abortion crowd loved it because they thought it supported their views.

So I guess sashimi is a sandwich, but cannoli is sushi. Flawless logic.

For Japanese specifically, I’m using Renshuu (free) and Wanikani for kanji ($9/mo) and loving both of them.

Because it turns out that conforming to what your parents and your community believe is way more influential to the average person than objective truth.

Tapir -> Rhinoceros -> Elephant

Remember when people were taking pot shots at power stations a couple years ago? We’ll probably have more stupid shit like that.

You forgot the part where millions of people still write in Donald Trump based on the widespread conspiracy that he’s still alive, and we get to figure out what happens when a state tries to elect a dead man.
