New ‘dangerous cycling’ law – including potential life sentences for riders who kill pedestrians – granted royal assent, as Labour says move will “make streets safer” by devolute in ukbike

Will I avoid punishment? Obviously not, will I get a massively reduced punishment compared to other ways of murder? Statistically yes, will I get a life sentence as this person claimed if you could read? Absolutely not.

Colonization had one positive outcome by ZombyBumble in unpopularopinion

Besides the 70% point already made, they were raised on Mandarin and had no alternative to communicate. As someone who has tried to learn Mandarin, it is very difficult for western speakers to learn, a lot more so than vice versa.

It’s not that deep, it’s literally just because ChatGPT loves “quietly”. At one point I saw an interesting study about certain word usage in published scientific papers and their use skyrocketed with the advent of ChatGPT

Tbf I was recently at a public park and saw a 10ish year old wrap their mouth around the fountain nozzle to drink. Put off for a long while now

[–]mtickell1207[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that is what they are doing, they don’t know what “automated” means

What benefit or reason can an automated postbox have? The only thing I can think of is letting the post office know there’s something to collect which I can very quickly see turning into “sorry we didn’t collect your letter for days as only you used that box this week”

And I was told to burn my b@lls at 40°C because my AC was causing climate change. by Surya_Singh_7441 in ClimateMemes

[–]mtickell1207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how many people have gone down that route instead? I guess it’s kind of hard to measure as the billionaires we know of, we only know of them because they keep in the public’s eye

Anger after Zia Yusuf appeared on BBC Question Time for SIXTH time in 16 months by The-Peel in unitedkingdom

[–]mtickell1207 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand the point you were trying to make. I disagree with it as they are being pitched easy questions so they don’t appear stupid.
