The girl having 2 right arms in panel 3 is already a dead giveaway.

Maybe she looked in the mirror?

You look at country that actually have balls and they don’t need a rallying point to go out and do something. They all just do it and it becomes a group action by the very fact that most of them don’t wait around for a signal.

The irony here is you calling people bots for asking why Americans haven’t done something yet, but here you are waiting for people to tell you what to do before you do something, you know, like a bot does.

Probably just some spam filters.

Both sites needed me to sign up to see posts, so I can’t see any example that you wanted to show. Do you have other examples that don’t require a sign-in?

And you know, given that were talking about common use of the symbol, it’s better to give examples that is not constrained to niche groups that would use the symbol even without widespread acceptance.

Such examples don’t really prove your point that those languages still uses þ in the modern world, just like the few people on Lemmy using it doesn’t prove it is still in use in the modern English language.

Do you have any examples of it being used outside of Icelandic and Lemmy nowadays?

Are you claiming all those languages are still using the letter þ in modern times?

Thank you for fixing that statement.

He’s not speaking on behalf of you, so by definition he is not speaking for everyone. Unless, you are actually a dog on the internet. Are you?

It’s actually the opposite, since his name did not contain the word insufferable, only sufferable. If you read the ‘Im’ as I’m, that means he is a self-professed sufferable ninja.

I feel like you’re missing the point of quotes.

Yep, all we want are more options other than driving. A good cycling and pedestrian infrastructure even helps in making sure they’re out of the road and not in the way of cars, something I’m sure a lot of car-centric people would actually be happy about. It’s a net positive for everyone.

Well, first of all, you could read usernames. That would be helpful to determine what points you’re going to argue against and what the appropriate response would be.

Second, nobody is asserting that the US never considered public transport, we were only addressing the actual decision of the US in general, which IS very much focused on electric cars to the detriment of progress on much saner public transport projects. The Vegas Loop and similar projects immediately come to mind.

The laws that gets in the way of public transport projects are a result of the US’s obsession with car-centrism and capitalism. Instead of thinking of long term solutions, they’d rather clutch to a band aid solution to keep their status quo.

And discussions about public transport is not focussed solely on trains. On the contrary, the most depressing thing about the us car-centrism is the inability to do short trips without needing a car. Pedestrian and cycling infrastructure are pretty cheap relative to building high speed train networks or even inner city metros, yet the US even struggle with that.

The source of the problem are the people themselves who have been deluded into thinking they need to force everyone to use a car simply because they don’t want to use public transportation, which is an absurd thought process. The focus on electric cars will only continue this brainwashing, not fix it, so it is a net negative in the long run.

Well, you could try and stop thinking that people are trying to make you use public transport and more along the line of not forcing you or anyone to use their car to go anywhere in a practical way. And imagine the improvement to traffic and safety once people who hates driving or not good at it are no longer forced to drive on the same road as you.

More public transports benefits not only people who use public transports, but also people who use cars. You have the typical car-centric mindset that makes it harder for your country to progress in that area.

The problem is I haven’t seen much news of projects other than those types of interim projects that focus on electric cars. I mean, they spent millions of dollars on the Vegas Loop instead of on more sane public transport projects. America has a very unhealthy focus on electric cars because of their car-centric mindset and I don’t see it changing any time soon unless people start pushing back on it.

That part is not because of the white rapist, but because of the bad candidate that were forced on them as an alternative.

This is a petroleum industry talking point and it is false.

What, that focusing solely on electric cars are not the solution to climate change and is only a band-aid? No, it’s the truth.

It’s better than ice cars in the short run, but you guys really need to focus on other, more practical solutions like better public transports and less car-centric infrastructure and laws.

Someone can’t read.

If it’s hard to remove, just eat it along with the peel that is covered by the sticker.
