So they do care, just not enough? What should they be doing about it?

As in, they reverted their name? Why?

Just checked the modlog; you got a 3 month suspension from 8 communities cause you were mean, i think.

Looks like your account is new so I’ll explain: normally being mean wouldn’t get you banned but in this case you had the unpopular opinion so you got suspended by an unhappy moderator.

Welcome to Lemmy.

They also disable many lights at night here in south Florida (but I’m sure it’s common everywhere in the U.S.) to where one road gets permanent flashing yellow and the other gets flashing red (stop sign).

That’s interesting that they’re all positioned at the beginning of the intersections. That would take me some getting used to, but it’s probably safer since it forces you to stop further from the intersection to see the signal

Yeah our lights come in all sorts of shapes. Might be more standardized over there

Ah, yeah those lights are a lot more straightforward than ours lol

Are you talking about the 2 lights on the bottom? Is that not common everywhere? The left one is probably a left arrow to indicate a protected left turn, and the right one is solid.

I don’t know if this is a US-only thing or all countries where they drive on the right side of the road but without the green left arrow, left turns on a solid green light are unprotected and must yield to oncoming traffic.

The arrow can also be flashing yellow on some intersections to indicate an unprotected left turn regardless of the state of the solid lights.

Similarly, a green right arrow can be present at solid red lights to indicate a protected right turn. Otherwise, you can still turn right on solid red (unless a sign explicitly prohibits it) but must yield. Right arrows are much less common than left.

I don’t think that. The image reads “tensed up” and equates it to empathy when it’s indicative of fear. Then it suggests that you don’t have empathy because you don’t have the same visceral reaction to something that doesn’t instill fear for your life.

Of course we’re concerned about this. I was pointing out that this post is suggesting that we’re not.

People get scared when danger is near but not far

I knew Audit the Audit wasn’t narrated by the channel owner (anymore) so I looked through the comments of the first video with Baldwin and found mention of his name.

And yeah, for Info Flow, I’m assuming based on the sound of his voice. I hadn’t heard of that channel until now

They’re both narrated by Andrew Baldwin

I’m using tilt controls!

Another hot take: Beginner-friendly distros are good for beginners.

Like many others, I wanted to rid myself of Windows but I needed it to as painless as possible so I was looking for something that feels like Windows but is not Windows. If I didn’t have Mint to ease me into it and instead had to set up Arch from scratch, I would have likely gotten frustrated and gone back to Windows. I don’t want to go back to Windows.

There’s a distro for everyone, and I’ll continue to recommend Mint to those who are getting sick of Windows and looking for a familiar alternative. That’s who it’s made for.

This would’ve been a great idea as a comedy sketch

I just think it’s a dumb name is all
