@ThalmorBiznitch @zikakuto You call listening to music "screen time"?
English
@zikakuto Dude, everything is on a screen today. "Screen time" also includes reading, podcasts, audio books, and listening to music, not to mention paying bills, doing finances, working, etc.
English
Anyone with +2 hours of screen time has time to cook, but you're all not ready for that conversation
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz
This is bc they do not have the time or capacity to create home cooked meals. It’s an issue countless ppl have tried to raise w leftists but big leftists online continue to shame/abuse poor ppl for being forced to rely on these services for meals, which act as a tax on the poor

@devvidoo @zippkode @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST And it was a quote reply, it was quoting you to you.
English
@devvidoo @zippkode @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST Yeah, I mean, I made a mistake and then corrected it (obviously I would have to read back to catch it), it's a long thread now. But the question still stands.
English
or you could just start to merge 2 miles back when the signs start showing up like a goddamn normal person
meowtown@hieywieyneue
i wish american drivers understood the zipper merge and didn’t have this whole thing of getting your ego hurt because someone tries to merge late (aka the actually correct thing to do)
English
@devvidoo @zippkode @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST So what does how people drive in the Midwest have to do with me?
English
@skymallliving @zippkode @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST You do understand my initial response was pointing out Midwest highways are different and not as congested, therefore don’t need the same systems in place designed for heavy traffic, correct?
English
@zippkode And zippering doesn't HAVE TO cause traffic like you say, given ideal conditions. Once traffic capacity reaches 50%, your argument falls apart. Zippering works fine in light traffic and is superior in heavy traffic.
English
@skymallliving No. It does not have to do that. If everyone gets over at the earliest opportunity, they can maintain their speed at a road which remains below capacity even with one of the lanes gone and no one has to slow down.
English
@zippkode You're skip over the closed lane in the scenario. The traffic caused by the merge is not OPTIONAL, the drivers have no option to not change lanes. The increased MANDATORY lane changes will slow traffic down regardless, putting more cars and congestion into less space.
English
@skymallliving No. I'm saying that optional traffic - traffic that occurs well below road capacity - is primarily a consequence of cars slowing down. Minimizing that should be our goal.
English
@devvidoo @zippkode @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST All I'm saying is that if traffic issues can be solved by drivers voluntarily forgoing certain lanes, then the "system that was set up" should make it mandatory and traffic will be gone forever. I'm saying people should be FORCED to drive the way you do, why disagree?
English
@skymallliving @zippkode @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST Well, we’re not going to change to single lane highways because Skymall Living can’t fathom following the speed limit and not passing people for 5 minutes so idk what to tell you.
English
@zippkode @devvidoo @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST So you're saying if there are more cars on the road that there will be slower moving traffic and it's 100% caused by zipper merging?
English
@skymallliving @devvidoo @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST It can't always. Sometimes the road is at 60% capacity and can't go to one lane without slowing. But sometimes it's at 30% and easily could but doesn't. This is caused almost exclusively by late merging.
English
@zippkode @Thy_Planet @devvidoo @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST It's cut from the same wishful thinking cloth as "if I merge early, there probably won't be any congestion from the road closure, a thing that typically causes congestion because the same amount of cars on less usable road does that."
English
@skymallliving @Thy_Planet @devvidoo @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST But they'll have to slow down to do so.
Also "probably" is the issue. You have increased the chances of needing to change speed. That's what causes traffic
English
@devvidoo @zippkode @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST Why don't they extend the closure back two miles then, since people using that lane are causing the slowdown? Why not close the lane entirely if one lane can handle at the traffic at max speed?
English
@skymallliving @zippkode @Thy_Planet @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST Well if you’re passing in a no passing zone it’s not the responsibility of people who followed the law to make way for you. The system was set up so nobody had to slow down, you are the one causing the slow down. You should have remained going 60 and stayed in line
English
@zippkode @Thy_Planet @devvidoo @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST Yeah, and someone will probably let me merge at the closure, unless they're pissed off about having merged into traffic early for no reason.
English
@skymallliving @Thy_Planet @devvidoo @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST Right, but there will probably be a spot somewhere in those two miles in low traffic. You have time to wait.
English
@zippkode @Thy_Planet @devvidoo @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST The ability to merge at speed is a function of whether or not there is a car next to you when you want to merge. You could merge 2 miles early and still have to slow down if there's another car there, and you can merge at the closure at normal speed if there isn't a car there.
English
@Thy_Planet @devvidoo @SychinLegacy @TW0HEADEDBEAST It would. By merging early, you don't have to slow down. You can merge at normal speed. By waiting, you eventually run out of road and have to slow down

@troy35584984109 @ENOCHEYIM @BeeLavish1 @DailyLoud "No Parking Before 9 AM" reveals bank security protocols 😂
Come on dude

@ENOCHEYIM @BeeLavish1 @DailyLoud You want the bank to tell thieves about thier security protocols 😂
Come on dude

A Florida businessman had police pull up on him after bank employees reported a “suspicious” person sitting outside in a car… while he was simply waiting for the bank to open at 9 a.m. 👀

@DrTrash_Boat @FeralForlorn @Rocrhulan @newbsharp @grok A "threshold" means that anything that gets LESS than that amount of rain is considered a desert, not that all deserts receive 10 inches of rain annually.
English
@skymallliving @FeralForlorn @Rocrhulan @newbsharp @grok A desert can get 25000x more precipitation than that

@CorieWhalen @grok @ClayTravis Looks like TSA on the back of the vest. I dunno, maybe grok is full of shit here 🤷🏻♂️
English
@grok @ClayTravis Okay, thanks. I’d heard some people refer to them as TSA, and the uniforms look similar. But either way, these are all people doing security, not secret service members trained to take out assassins, correct?
English
10 of the 11 guards weren’t paying attention when the guy with the gun came running at them attempting to kill the president. And the one guy who was watching fired multiple shots from this close without hitting the would be assassin.

@ScottGustin @daveleedwnundr Disney PAID about $75 Billion to acquire those titles lol

Absolutely wild that Disney are trying to claim the success of Avatar, Titanic, and The Phantom Menace lol.

@treeaston @isaiah_bb "We have some opinions about Israel in the works, watch this space" lmao
English
No grand conspiracy, I assure you. We've got some things on foreign policy and national security in the works. The goal with all of it is to be thoughtful. Stay tuned.
I know there's a general consensus on here that everyone who works at Searchlight shares Fetterman's view of the world, but it couldn't be farther from the truth.
English
Anyone who says they want to help Democrats win elections and isn’t urgently pushing them to commit to ending aid to Israel is a liar, end of discussion.

“The Democratic Party is so right wing that Liz Cheney didn’t need to ask Kamala Harris to change her positions in order to endorse her” is something you say after smoking crack.

@LegoKingo Seagal's delusional narcissism getting translated into his on-screen characters made them at least a funny watch. Watching a fat idiot play a kung fu master is way more entertaining than watching an old Republican do it.
English
Wow this took off insanely fast. I am getting a lot of replies pushing back on the Seagal comparison, but they really do occupy the same portion of my mind. While Seagal is worse than Norris in most respects, I have enjoyed (ironically, mostly) more Seagal movies than Norris ones
Lego Kingo@LegoKingo
Chuck Norris jokes are pretty fascinating bc they started as a way of making fun of him (the same way you'd make fun of a Steven Seagal movie where he's an invincible badass with no flaws) but over time it just became "this guy is genuinely badass" bc no one watched his movies
