No I drive fast enough to never have cars behind me. :) So Im actually not part of the problem the thread was discussing, with drivers just driving the same speed in the left lane. That is really frustrating when people do that.

I would go as far as saying that this behavior of driving faster in the left lane helps to make traffic flow a lot better and avoid congestion. But it’s not legal.

I dont agree, I use the left lane frequently to not have a car in front of me. Increases visibility and security a lot, and just gives a nice feeling of not being blocked.

I do drive a bit faster than cars in the right lane almost always though.

Yes of course. But have you noticed how everyone assumes that men are staring and making women feel uncomfortable despite nothing like that was expressed?

I’ve also seen jokes about dicks that everyone seem to think is funny, but when someone mentions actual attraction, the thread goes nuts. :)

Nobody said staring. :)

Lol, it’s just not politically correct these days. :)

Human attraction is at the core of human existence and I think it’s silly to act like it doesn’t exist every day.

This is how you enjoy life. Make people happy being around you, and they do the same for you.

Men looking at women are creeps? Guess im a creep. :)

I’m also trying hard to avoid being in the office, even taking pay cuts for it. I can’t sit in a damn office and write code. The stress from trying to block out people moving and talking is exhausting.

A few, but I generally don’t look at usernames.

A more cynical take is that they understand very well, but are being compensated by big tech for looking the other way.

Good people often can’t comprehend how evil people work, and they say “everyone makes mistakes”, or “they don’t understand fully”. Because we want to think that everyone is mostly good.

It’s not like that. :/

Enterprise was my favorite star trek. I can’t even watch discovery, it’s horrible.

It’s much more than ads and billboards. That’s not propaganda at all. I would call that advertisements.

What I mean with propaganda is government agencies putting false information to the public and acting like it’s true, for the purpose of swaying an opinion in the direction they choose.

I think a lot of the meme content here is bots as well.

But since most users don’t post anything, it’s better than the alternative.

Hacker news is often interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/

I started looking at summarized hacker news articles in the last month also, I like the format of this:

But sometimes I check Lemmy instead. It’s a lot easier to digest for the brain.

I think most people are not spending enough time reading about propaganda and how it’s used in 2020. Its very effective and people don’t know they have been exposed to it.

We who live in the western world frequently believe propaganda is done by Russia and China but not by our own leaders.

Same with the US.

All that text and not even one mention of what you don’t like with Gnome.

It’s not garbage and if anything, it makes plasma better by being a bit of competition and offering simplicity.

I think it’s more similar to the mac idea of simplicity, but there isn’t much new features.
