To believe that reposts are a problem you have to believe that everyone has been online at the exact same time as you and seen the things you’ve seen. I know you will find this incomprehensible, but this is my first time seeing this comic.

English is one of 2 official languages there and Christianity is the primary religion.
My research in school was exactly this, I set out to prove people on social media lacked social connection irl. What I found out was the opposite, the more people were trying to connect online directly correlated to connecting more offline. Some people just seem to crave those connections anywhere they can get it.

And you become part of what makes it sick if you don’t have they tools to develop a deeper self awareness. I was profoundly skeptical of therapy for a long time, and also thought myself very self aware. But with a good therapist you can uncover enormous blind spots and generally improve how you treat yourself an others. Society is built by those within it.
I mean for some it can help them accept and process reality a little better.

1·5 months agoThere was an hour counter when I played per character, I think the problem is you have to add them together.

50·6 months agoYou recommend linking to the source instead of a signature, but you don’t include either in your posts. When someone makes something, they have a right to have people know they are the ones who made it. You should be banned from every community you refuse to credit artists in. You are actively harming this community.
Everything at KFC in the US is horrendous. They stopped being good 30 years ago. I’ve only had good KFC outside the US.
I’m not vegetarian, but I like Quorn nuggets more than chicken nuggets.
My mother in law used to refuse to eat in an empty or nearly empty restaurant. On the logic that if it’s empty it must be bad. Never mind that the reason a restaurant is empty often has more to do with location than quality, or that it’s packed for dinner and empty at lunch or vice versa.
Possibly I got distracted by your sentence implying there is no reason to run a red, because it shows you really don’t understand. I have multiple intersections on my morning commute where the safest time to cross the intersection is when I have a red light. Sometimes it’s legal for me to run them, sometimes it isn’t. That happens when intersections are designed for cars and not bicycles. If they were designed just as much for bikes, there would be a leading bike indicator at every intersection in America that has some type of bike infrastructure. You acted like that Anatole France quote wasn’t relevant when it unequivocally is. If the safest thing for me to do is break the law, then the law is wrong.
It is perfectly legal in many places in the world to run a red light on a motorcycle or bicycle, provided you wait a reasonable amount of time. So your example is complicated. Simply because the magnetic strips that detects cars don’t detect them. But if run a red light after waiting, I guarantee the average person will think I’m the same as the person that flys through the intersection without slowing down. In my experience the average car driver has no idea why bicycles make the decisions they make.
And it is perfectly reasonable to break rules, if breaking them is what is keeping me alive. I really could give a shit what the law is. I care about getting to work alive. And I will make decisions to that end first and the law second.
The lights often automatically changes to cyclists priority in many places in the Netherlands, and often provide underpasses to avoid conflict points in the first place. It is not a comparable situation. Traffic laws and infrastructure in the USA, for instance, are incredibly biased in favor of cars, so their comment is absolutely relevant.
When I bike in the USA often the safest time for me to cross an intersection is unrelated to whether I have a green light, but more related to if anyone else at the intersection does. The safest time for me to go is when no one else at the light has a green light, not when I do.

Fair enough, complaining about reposts is still incredibly silly.
