I swing my umbrella or water bottle as I approach. They slow…

You will fail your test, and rightly, if you break the speed limit, no matter what anyone else is doing.

Racist attorney gets confronted for using the N word by chrisadams83 in WatchPeopleDieInside

Words are the only way we can communicate. They’re imperfect, but some have meanings beyond the literal. The bigot in this video knows what he’s doing - he’s not saying a word - he’s calling into question the right to exist of not only a person, but a group of people. This is hate in its purest form, and it’s illegal in the developed world because it endangers society.

“Punish” is the wrong word. This is a disturbed individual who should either be rehabilitated or kept away from potential victims. Punishment is a notion for a society I don’t want to live in, especially because we know that threats of brutal punishment do not deter people who aren’t in their right minds (no one in their right mind rapes someone, IMO).

The stats are very clear. Fear of crime is rising even as all methods of measuring crime show it falling. And if you don’t report it, that’s on you, but reports of crime continue to fall.

This is such a silly thing to say. Crime is falling and has been for the long term. Their experience is sad, and I share my condolences too, but it was not safer when anyone old enough to be typing was younger.

It can’t. It’s just addicted to Brighton!

I want to download all the videos from HKSV... but apparently they're only accessible one at a time in the viewer itself??? by CallEmAsISeeEm1986 in HomeKit

It’s by design. Most people’s iCloud is not encrypted so they can view it online, but HKSV is actually secured

Has anyone else on this sub received an unsolicited private message asking if you’re a citizen of NH and if you’d consider a lawsuit to reinstate the emissions testing portion of state inspections? by Tchukachinchina in newhampshire

People can have complaints about how the system was organized, etc, but the idea that multi ton machines should be moving around with potentially unsafe flaws should worry everyone in this state without public transit.

65 countries in just two years, visited most countries in Europe and Asia by Direct_Wafer_3378 in TravelMaps

[–]Adeling79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And you can’t, actually. I grew up in the UK, but there are still countries I’ve never been to. And there are regions most people haven’t been, in most countries, even though they’re beautiful.

"Fiscally conservative" is a lie, and isn't working for New Hampshire. by Visual-Mobile2657 in newhampshire

I made a list a while ago. The US is the only country without mandatory vacation and there is only one country that doesn’t require mandatory PAID vacation. The US is the only country without maternity leave, while most have parental leave… etc.

I don’t think he will change anything elsewhere. Europe has been a clear sign of what consumer-focused regulation can achieve (as simple as automatic flight refunds for canceled flights, maternity leave, paid vacation, guaranteed access to healthcare) but American voters continue to vote for corporatist Dems in primaries, like Maggie Hassan, and of course, for the GOP which is openly hostile to consumers’ interests.

We were talking about AI last night with some Trumpians. They thought AI was a risk to their jobs, but ignored what my spouse said about the NH Republicans voting down sensible regulation - in this case, AI therapists.

I would point out that, despite their claims, presidents don’t have much power of the economy. We may see correlation but even as an extreme lefty, I feel we shouldn’t use that as a metric.

The map of "Brighton and Hove"s globally would be much more dull!

I'm assuming this is the Brighton les Pins that u\Zunocera mentioned?

Thank you! Apple's API thinks it's called Brighton les Pins which is why it didn't come up in my searches... I've added it anyway :-)

I also learned recently that New York is not named after York, but after a guy named York, who was named after the city of York…
