That’s a great answer to my question, thanks!

Why would you not contact police? I understand that this is a systemic failure and blame does not lie with that employee but if others me I’d rather be out of a job than have those deaths on my conscience for the rest of my life.

Even then, there are 18 year olds I’ve met that have the maturity of a 25 year old and 25 year olds that just don’t seem to have a frontal lobe. Age is an important heuristic but certainly not the only important factor when you are thinking about emotional maturity and power dynamics in a relationship.

Field hockey is our best kept secret. We have some of the consistently best national teams in the world and yet I challenge you to name our national teams, let alone their players.

Where does V sit on this list?

Generative AI and edge detection are completely different. It’s like comparing using a power tool to paying a contractor. One makes your job easier and one is doing the work for you.

Yes but what people should do and what they will respond to are two different things

Do you know what a metaphor is?

The straw is a metaphor for doing what you can in your own world no matter how small, not the absolute culmination of all the good that we’ve done.

“ð” is the letter for the “th” sound in some alphabets like Faroese. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth

Trans people always have the greatest insight into these issues. Thank you!

A 16 or 17 year-old earning 90$/day shouldn’t pay ANY tax IMHO. As a teenager I and my classmates weren’t using roads, the hospital system, the courts, or most of the facilities that public funds go towards anywhere near the extent that we use them as adults. I hope I can pay it all forward when I get a full time gig given how much public money I’ve been directly involved in spending.

The Idaho Stop is not the same as running a red. I’ve been riding all my life and riding on the road since I was 12. You shouldn’t run red lights; it’s unpredictable and just downright dangerous if you do it at the wrong intersection.

Reddit was malmanaged by a money-hungry C-suite and investors. Blaming the downfall of reddit solely on the users is naive.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds his personality annoying in some way I can’t quite put my finger on. I suspect it’s just the culture clash between my quiet Australian upbringing and his bold and brash New York personality. I also strongly agree with you that he fights the good fight and he fights it well.

There need to be alternative modes of transport that are accessible so that elderly and incompetent drivers aren’t forced to engage in society via the roads.

😆 Western Australians wish Perth was the capital. At least you know your Australian cities
