Keep sharing them, cause I like the trapdoor solution a lot more than a complex road sign ;)

There was this study (not car related) on how well fines work, turns out if they are an absolute value (like in most cases) that is relatively low to ones wealth, a lot of people stop caring. Also, people are much more likely to break the law if they believe there is a high chance of getting away with it. So just having a sign might fix nothing, if the people to do not fear the penalty enough

Not really sure how to say this in english, but this case i’d say the problem in not only at the front-side (bad design) but also on the back-side (enforcing the rules). Rules that aren’t enforced are merely suggestions.

I agree both are a public safety issue, but there aren’t many similarities beyond that. For one, most people guilty killing or seriously injuring someone with a gun intends to so cause that result while people who are guilty of killing or seriously injuring someone with a car are unaware of the danger they pose or aren’t able to estimate how to react in a certain situation. Yes both need to be taken very serious, yes both are a big problem but their solution is very different. Although one more similarity which blows my mind is how unwilling American politicians are to keep more people alive.

This would be so illegal in the eu

If it would have included state/local would that make the relative distance bigger or smaller?

Probably doesn’t help that a lot is wood and panels, instead of brick or concrete. If you live near a busy street with insulated windows you can almost completely block out the noise nowadays (Although you’re still stuck with the pollution and can’t really open the windows), but technology can really counter some of those problems. But i wouldn’t fight the system on my own, so I probably would do the same in your position.

Some are more deadly than others though

They all want to live in a detached single home (is that how you call it?), so not enough density for a store to make profit. Glad I don’t live there tbh.

A lot of advertising is annoying and misleading, even good advertising can lead to people buying stuff they don’t need. I am definitely not pro-advertising but it does serve more than monopolistic capitalism, especially on a more local level.

I 100% agree and totally get why I am being downvoted, but just disabling advertising or banning tracking cookies are not a magic fix to save the internet from the perspective of the companies that now show these ads. But I am definitely I favour of changes, the enshittication went way to far already. But there is more than big social media platforms is what I mean to say.

I’m not a fan of being tracked so don’t get me wrong, but without the money earned with advertising the Internet will look very different and not only in a good way.

There are already fixes (read: laws) for those problems though.

He’s an actor using his influence, I don’t think you’re very serious but my point needs to be made as long as there are people who think the characters only live on screen and the actor portraying them only live on the red carpet for our amusement.

Luckily he’s known outside the US too, his name can not be erased anymore. His legacy is what’s at stake, but I agree we need to fight like hell. We need to keep having queer and gay folk represent us. AfD proves fascism can go hand in hand with gay (lol).
