You don’t buy one of those ugly-ass pieces of shit unless you’ve already bought into a dominance-oriented worldview, and intend to use it as a prop for asserting dominance over everyone who crosses your path. If you bought one and drove it considerately, you may as well have spent half the price on a more sensible car that only falls short in projecting an “alpha-male warlord” image.

In Wales, the veil between our world and the spirit world is a lot thinner, so they don’t need smartphones. A cup of strong fermented drink and a neolithic stone circle will suffice.
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
So despite climate change, Australia's federal government has just committed an extra $3.25 billion into building a toll road and a 20-lane freeway widening.
"Pouring an extra $3.25 billion worth of federal funds into Melbourne’s North East Link is a good use of taxpayer money, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has insisted, despite the project’s cost doubling just a few months ago.
...
"The North East Link – which includes 6½ kilometres of tunnels – will stretch from Bulleen to Greensborough. It will widen the Eastern Freeway by up to 20 lanes.
"Allan revealed in December that the 10-kilometre toll road had more than doubled in cost since it was first announced.
"The toll road was initially budgeted at $10 billion and reassessed in 2019 at $15 billion. But the government revealed last year that the updated cost estimate was $26 billion."
He’d be free to walk, taking a leap into the unknown at the cost of losing almost everything he has. Expecting that sort of heroic act of him is not entirely reasonable.
OTOH, judging by the photos, he does give off Brock Turner/Kyle Rittenhouse vibes. If, having grown up where he did, he turned out to be an aggressive predator, it would not be a huge surprise.
It increasingly makes sense to think of the US police not as a public service (with any caveats about who counts as the public) but as an estate that wields political power, or even a service aristocracy sort of like samurai or boyars.
Pretty much all microprocessor companies (Intel, AMD, ARM, Apple) have R&D facilities in Israel. For some reason, there are a lot of semiconductor specialists there.
Australia has a somewhat threadbare welfare state, though is more of a social democracy than the UK. And snakes and spiders are easier to avoid than Tories.
