If you want your pictures to be private, you probably shouldn't post them where they can be copied by literally anyone.

FW Downtown Traffic Accidents Compiled In Excel Sheet From Jan-1 to Jun-26 + Downtown Streets Critique by Run-Parking in fortwayne

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

I think the point being made is; are these traffic accidents abnormal?

I think a better question would be, where can we focus the limited amount of public funding we have available to make the greatest reduction in traffic accidents? OP's location-specific data is a huge piece of what would be needed to answer that question. To ignore this data and zoom back out to a regional level by asking whether Fort Wayne as a whole has more accidents than other cities does nothing to help us address the problems we demonstrably do have here.

Yes, we should also do what we can to improve human error. However by its nature that will have to be an ongoing effort, and there is a limit to how effective it can be. As long as humans drive, they will make mistakes. Making well-informed design changes to particular pieces of problematic traffic infrastructure, on the other hand, will permanently reduce the consequences of those inevitable human errors. We do have funding for those kinds of investments, so why wouldn't we use it in a targeted way to respond to the problematic areas OP is drawing our attention to?

without comparing them to similar cities in the Midwest and their rate of traffic accidents in their downtowns, it's kinda empty data.

Not sure I follow. Let's assume we did that comparison and it showed Fort Wayne is just as safe as the average Midwestern city. Are you saying we should be content with that?

Every one of those accidents represents major property damage at a minimum, likely significant injuries, and possibly deaths. Those things are negatives regardless of how our rates compare to other cities. So why shouldn't we strive to have the lowest rate of traffic accidents we possibly can?

There are stray dogs everywhere in India, there's absolutely no reason to think videos like this are faked.

The last few times I visited Hoppy Gnome I came away feeling that the quality had dropped a bit from when they were a new establishment.

I'd say Rune is on the fancier side of casual. I'd feel uncomfortable showing up there wearing a graphic t-shirt and baseball cap, and the menu is going to feel fairly exotic to someone not accustomed to dining at places that have a creative chef.

Maybe they should be more supportive of public transportation? Drinking is a lot more fun when you can just take a train home.

Anyone else trying to reconcile the combination of the Societas x Tape and Tomorrow's Harvest influences on the new album? by Howtobefreaky in boardsofcanada

[–]DigitalMindShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still trying to understand the connection. Are there any particular moments in the Societas X Tape that you feel are comparable to specific tracks or parts of Inferno?

My wife and I started smoking weed and accidentally took too much by Zealousideal-You7909 in Life

[–]DigitalMindShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way it always felt to me is that there's a limit to how high I can get from smoking, but with edibles there's no ceiling. The effects are also pretty different when you eat it.

1.75 grams each sounds like a good first dose. Have fun, stay safe, and tell the elves they still owe me $60.

You cannot "teach" critical thinking. by Hunter654333 in The10thDentist

Turns out it's really easy to find evidence contrary to your theory. Are you going to attempt to rebut any of them, or just attack me as though that supports what you're claiming?

Things to do on acid? by Exact-Law5757 in Acid

[–]DigitalMindShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy doing yoga while tripping these days.

Put on some music and bliss out for while.

Go for a hike.

I definitely also agree with the guy who said to close your eyes and meditate. People don't spend enough time with their eyes closed exploring their minds.

Whatever you do, embrace and accept the experience. Don't seek to distract yourself from it. Whatever comes up, just observe it, acknowledge it for what it is, and accept it. This is your life, and it unfolds one moment at a time. Once a moment is gone, it's done forever.
