Hm, that makes sense. My mistake. Doesn’t change my actual point but thanks for the info. Substitute passing lane for left lane and that’s what I meant.

The passing lane* is for passing.
I actually like it better that way because it emphasizes how obvious it is. When I visited the UK and rented a car, I actually found that drivers were far more courteous and self-aware compared to the US.
The term nerf in respect to video games was actually derived from Nerf guns. Because Nerf guns are basically just normal guns that have been heavily nerfed 😅
Sure, I do the same thing sometimes. But I also pay attention and move to the right when I see someone catching me from behind. And I especially don’t drive at the exact same speed, side-by-side with the car in the right lane. And yet I see other drivers do that constantly.
Some people seem to think of it like a moral crusade or a pissing contest and they feel emasculated if another vehicle passes them. The sociology of automobiles and traffic is endlessly fascinating to me, although I often forget my intellectual curiosity when I’m actually driving 😅
Idk man. That’s above my pay grade.
That’s fine. That means you’re passing the cars in the right lane that are slowing to make a turn.
In the city it is definitely usable for navigation purposes, getting to the intended destination.
So is the right lane. If you’re driving the same speed as the car in front of you, you have no reason to use the left lane. Unless you’re making a left turn. Right?
The left lane is for passing. If you’re not passing somebody, move over to the right lane. It’s not that hard people
Why is it the perfect context to mock them? It seems like you just care more about getting upvoted than treating another human being with empathy.
Self reflection is hard; I don’t begrudge you for shying away from it. But don’t act all high and mighty in that case.
Speaking of self-reflection… You’re not wrong but you didn’t need to be so mean about it. Especially in this context.
And that goes for all of you too.
I don’t disagree. But between experience, resources amassed, and relationships built by the time you turn 40, it’s often possible to have a greater actual capability despite your slightly reduced theoretical capability.
Basically when you’re in your 20s you might have a bit more cognitive horsepower, but you typically lack some emotional and financial tools to leverage that horsepower more efficiently.
Wow, what a great write-up of your journey so far. Brought back a lot of memories and added a lot of context I wasn’t previously aware of, especially about the technical details of various bugs. And I loved the video! Well done Dave 👏
First click the link. Then manually type 12ft.io/ in the URL bar, before the https://
I’m honestly not sure how it works because it doesn’t work when you share the link, but if you type it manually it does. Works on all sorts of sites too, but some sites have already opted out. Honestly the Firefox reader view that the other guy posted is even easier and more useful, assuming you use Firefox.
Oh cool. I’m using Firefox and I didn’t even realize that. Good tip 👌
Wow, this is so dystopian. Late stage capitalism at its finest.
Btw if you can’t get past the pay wall, add “12ft.io/” in front of the URL and it should bypass.
If the inventor was known to be hubristic and reckless, it could be poetic justice. Otherwise, I think ironic is the best descriptor.
Btw, here’s a historical example of this happening.

You’re the one making a lot of assumptions based on what was originally a shower thought. It’s a nice thought but it’s completely and utterly incorrect in reality.
My kids are real life examples demonstrating that huge investment, while good for the individuals, does not reduce the cost or burden of them to society later in their life.
This isn’t an assumption, it’s a data point that contradicts your hypothetical theory.
The fundamental flaw in your thinking is your assumption that treating mental illness and disabilities will result in the person becoming a productive member of society. This is occasionally true, but much more commonly, the treatment serves to alleviate the more severe symptoms of the condition, without actually curing or fixing the condition.
Healthcare is primarily about minimizing the damage and suffering caused by various physical and mental ailments. It can’t magically transform people into something they’re not.
That’s good to hear, I agree that Lemmy is wholesome. Ngl I braced myself for the worst when I read the post title though 😅
The US is really big, but the Northeast megapolis is a bit of a nightmare when it comes to driving etiquette.
