Yeah, but all the inattentive parents can now successfully pass on their genes and social values… Which is why we’re seeing a huge age verification push online right now. If those people or their children got mauled or eaten at higher rates then we wouldn’t have this problem.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Your Truck is Stupid BigEnglish
1·13 days agoYou can haul or tow pretty well with a van. Unless you need a hookup for a goose neck… But those are rare, even for truck bros.
And a hot pocket is just a savory double-stuff poptart.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that the idea that drivers pay for roads is a myth, because funding sources also include property taxes, sales taxes and income taxes that people pay regardless of whether they drive or notEnglish
2·17 days agoyeah now do exhaust gaz and noise pollution.
Nah, let’s see your solution for them instead.

2·17 days agoThe trucks and vehicles that make your deliveries, pick up your trash, and stock your stores do about 15000 times more damage to the road than a passenger car. Even at a 1/100 ratio, that’s 150 times the damage of all the other vehicles, or if my shitty math is correct, approximately 99.34% of the road damage. All of the passenger vehicles on the road every day are a rounding error compared to Semis, Garbage trucks, fire engines, and construction equipment.
So I’d say it’s not a bad faith argument to point out that the people who don’t drive aren’t benefiting from road infrastructure.
For another comparison, it would be like saying that I shouldn’t have my taxes go to dam maintenance in my state since I don’t live in the flood zone.

2·17 days agoDoubt it. Stand on basically any street and count cars until you see a bus, big diesel truck, or a tractor-trailer come through, if you count less than 15000 cars, then the truck is doing more damage.

It’s obviously chest hair.
Period tracking apps are selling the data of minors to states where abortion is illegal in order to to see if they become pregnant (or un-pregnant).
Need I go on?
…sells it’s to an even more unscrupulous asshole.
I think you just start pitching people in, and the compression happens naturally as the people pile up.
Good news though. Without using any math or science, my AI determined that the people at the bottom will be under enough heat and pressure to become oil, or diamonds or both. Just put a spigot at the bottom so we don’t lose that economic value in the bodies of the people we’ve systematically crushed to fund our lavish extravagant lifestyle.
You say that, until your hammer data is used to detect improper use, which your employer’s insurance can use to deny a claim.
Or it can be used to void a warranty. Or it could detect G-forces of your commute to work and raise your car insurance rates for hard accelerations. Or a biometric sensor in the handle can tell your boss if you can work another 30 minutes before there is a financially significant risk of heatstroke.
You get the idea, that data is useless, until some hairbrained jackass packages it and sells it’s to an even more unscrupulous asshole.
Because “data is the new oil.”
Doesn’t matter what that data is, collect it first, and figure out how to sell it later.
Shut the fuck up. Don’t give them any ideas!!!

Gotta love the fun pronunciations in the NATO phonetic.

Congrats on posting the most wrong thing I have read today.
Also, are you a writer for Landman?
