Observer1199,

A summary would be appreciated to go with the clickbait title

I got a €90 fine from police in paris

Was cycling one of those small access roads that straddle the very large main roads. There was a wall between that and the main road. A police van and fire engine were blocking the road, and it was cordoned off with tape. I went on the pavement, very slowly, walking pace. But the municipal police stopped me and asked for my...

Observer1199,

You know well that footpaths are for people on foot. Not bikes, and not cars. This is why people get annoyed with cyclists.

Feigned ignorance is no excuse. You were too lazy to get off, you got caught and you got a fine so pay it and learn your lesson.

Observer1199,

Media and businesses with agendas (profit).

Observer1199,

After reading the article, it very much looks the NHS is completely to blame for the deaths and crown prosecution fucked up because the believed 2 people that had a bee in their bonnet but no actual proof. I’d say it was right for the 2 accusers to ask the question the first time but after the investigation that resulted proved no wrong doing on Lucy’s part, they should have dropped it. The whole argument is that she was present, but they were short staffed so she was always called in to cover. Also most of the staff didn’t have adequate neo-natal training but were working on a neo-natal ward, because they were so short staffed.

Observer1199,

Good on you for owning the mistake. I will say that even if they were black the premise of your original argument provides no justification for what was done.

Observer1199,

They haven’t admitted to doing it. One plead not guilty, the other entered no plea. I doubt there will ever be a good reason given, I struggle to even imagine any justification. Sometimes humanity really acts like a virus that earth needs to get rid of 🤷‍♂️

Observer1199,

Shaq would be an awful president. Excellent basketball player and major respect to him for that choice on shoes but this does not translate into the skills, or knowledge that should be required to be a political leader.

Observer1199,

Because it’s full of pseudoscience. He’s a better spoken and more intelligent version of Joe Rogan. If you haven’t done proper research I suggest you do, if you still don’t understand (or don’t care about) the dangers of psuedoscience then you do you but know you’re part of the problem then. My advice, put the kool-aid down dude, he’s not the answer to whatever it is you are looking for.

Observer1199,

That’s a straw man argument and you know it.

Observer1199,

If it takes 1 person 9 days to move a pile of 900 stones, 9 people could move the same pile in roughly a day.

Feels good attacking a straw man…

Observer1199,

I know, and agree but the pregnancy argument is a straw man argument

Observer1199,

Because progress would be made faster with additional devs. Not everything is/will be sequential and just because a large task is, doesn’t mean it could be broken into smaller tasks. Doesn’t have to be 50 devs.

Yes, I do: “an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent’s real argument.”

Observer1199,

What I’m hearing is that marketing is the problem - if so much money wasn’t wasted on it then the world would be a better place.

Observer1199,

I see no downside, only upsides, mainly not having to be subjected to the bile spewed by company propagandists who manipulate people in search of unsustainable growth and profit at the expense of humanity

Observer1199,

No marketing people, no marketing materials, no marketing budget, no influencers. I don’t mean not using the term and switching the practise to some other title or having it so there are loopholes that allow the propaganda machine to continue making the world a worse place.

Do I think this will happen? No, it is but a dream due to the greed of humanity. Those on top thinking their entitled to be mega wealthy, those on the bottom hoping they’ll be on top one day.

Observer1199,

Yeah, even more than 10 years really - maybe OP was in a coma 😅 or just didn’t notice until someone made a comment and then couldn’t stop seeing them. Kind of like when you a buy a certain car you suddenly start seeing them everywhere because you’re more familiar.

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

Observer1199, (edited )

Fwiw, nothing to do with gender but I hate being addressed as sir/ma’am, especially by people I don’t know. It’s unnecessarily formal and I know most people think it’s a respectfl thing but to me it’s somewhat insulting and makes me uncomfortable. Thank you is plenty.

Observer1199,

Yeah, somewhat, because I’m not some entitled ass when thinks I’m better than you, I’m not a military officer in charge of you, and I’m not so old that you need to be deferential because I come from another time and expect it.

Observer1199,

No clear answer for sir and ma’am honorifics

I feel there is no need for them so just dropping them is the best solution - anyone who expects them or is insulted by not using them is an entitled ass.

Observer1199,

I don’t have 45 mins to waste - tl;dw: for the video?

Observer1199,

If you’re into a content creator maybe it’s not a waste but I don’t have 45 mins to get the gist of video to understand a comment so it’s a waste to someone in that regard.

Appreciate the summary, that’s good info to have.

Observer1199,

I’m sure it can easily be proven development has been ongoing for years. Make a press release saying how your company is proud to announce the culmination of years of research, development, and hard work… And/Or phase out the old boards in batches. Just stop buying as many, have both versions for a while.

Observer1199,

It is extremely irritating - admittedly I used to do the same many moons ago but then I grew up.

I think with experience/perspective people can see that windows is needed. There’s just no way all the computer illiterate people (most people) will be able for Linux, not unless it’s simplified to be exactly like windows… (I don’t want to hear about how your 120 year old grandma learned arch at 100 having never touched a computer before and now teaches software dev - exceptions prove the rule)

I also grow tired of every year hearing it’s going to be the year of Linux desktop.
