US Pedestrian deaths rose a troubling 77% between 2010 and 2021. (www.ghsa.org)

GHSA previously issued a report finding that 3,434 pedestrians were killed on U.S. roadways in the first half of 2022, based on preliminary data reported by State Highway Safety Offices. A second report analyzing state-reported data for all of 2022 found that roadways continue to be incredibly deadly for pedestrians. There were...

One of the reasons is probably the same why Tesla isn’t releasing their Cybertruck outside of the us - the Crash-Tests there just don’t factor in pedestrian survival rates if they are hit by the car that you want to release on the market. Most of those giant trucks don’t make it here because they’d just run over any pedestrian they hit without them having any chance of survival even at low speeds.

Add to that the totally car-centered infrastructure that basically punishes everyone not in a car and you have the perfect storm for dead pedestrians and bikers…

Why is the guardian doing such a shitty headline?

hh93 ,

I always assumed incognito was just disabling history and cookies.

hh93 ,

They do care but for the wrong reason (because it’s costing them votes) - so their solution is copying right-wing positions in an attempt to win back voters when that’s only normalizing their viewpoints

hh93 ,

Not every country is like the us

Especially in Europe a lot of them try to better people instead of punishing them and many have special institutions for teenagers that are my like psychiatric wards than prisons

hh93 ,

And some people still say that the customers are helpless and calling for boycott doesn’t work…

If people would demand other industries to be more in line with their moral values (like about climate change) that could also change a lot

hh93 ,

Let’s also not forget that game developers have no choice but to release on steam if they want to have any chance on breaking even since they have that huge of a market share and that Epic challenging that already lead to better deals for developers since Valve hat virtually free reign before

hh93 ,

No it won’t - people are lazy

Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you

  1. Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
  2. Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
  3. Get many additional goodies for free

Don’t tell me people are choosing the better deal when it’s all just steam having the might of “I have most of my games there already” on their side…

hh93 ,

The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change

Most people didn’t buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn’t buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.

Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable “I have ally games and friends there already” position

People are lazy and hate change - without force it’s not going to happen

Beijing Records Most Hours of Sub-Zero Temperatures in December Since 1951 (www.voanews.com)

BEIJING — China’s capital Beijing has broken its record for hours of sub-zero temperatures in December dating back to 1951, after a cold wave swept swathes of the country and brought blizzards in its wake, sending temperatures towards historic lows....

Extreme weather getting more common everywhere around the world? Nothing to see here - please keep going and consume as normal and fly into holidays and eat meat - nothing to see here

Brazilian girl commits suicide due to Fake News on big Instagram Gossip Page (g1.globo.com)

They basically posted that she had an affair with Whindersson Nunes. When she posted that it was fake, the owner of the page responded: oh come on, you can’t fool anyone with those acting skills. She ended up committing suicide due to all the harassment from the fake news. There’s a Xwitter thread explaining everything...

It’s basically the same kind of treatment the paparazzi and yellow press are giving prominent people and somehow it’s okay then just because they are famous.

But for decades that was normalized because people were buying it and now it’s spreading to other areas as well

hh93 ,

Germany and Poland should invite him to a roundtrip through the camps then

hh93 ,

Wouldn’t it be more realistic if Barbie was also Ken? Since most catfishs are dudes going for dudes?

Or is the meme referring to something else?

hh93 ,

Ah

I’d guess it should send a “see how I can provide for food even without using money” kind of way?

But yeah it’s stupid

hh93 ,

If you pirate stuff they can sue you to the ground but if a fine is not related to total income or wealth it’s just something to be ignored.

Can’t understand why not more people lobby for fines to be proportional in general…

hh93 ,

If the fine is not a fixed amount but actually gets more expensive the more money you have it actually is quite nice though

Always enjoy those stories about millionaires paying some big sums for speeding tickets in Switzerland

States That Legalize Marijuana See Enhanced College Basketball Recruitment, Study Finds (www.marijuanamoment.net)

Marijuana legalization is linked to significantly better recruitment for college basketball and worse outcomes for football teams, according to a new study. Researchers at Georgia College & State University and Kennesaw State University said there are numerous factors that affect recruitment trends in college athletic leagues,...

What could be a possible explanation for the lower football turnout?

Cold Case Killer - Kelly Siegler Is a True-Crime Celebrity. Did She Frame an Innocent Man for Murder? (theintercept.com)

As Siegler’s TV star has been rising over the last decade, a parallel reality has been playing out in Texas courts, where allegations of prosecutorial misconduct have tarnished Siegler’s reputation. Appellate litigation in murder cases handled by Siegler has exposed a history of withholding exculpatory evidence from defense...

It’s really stupid how many people are a sucker for punishment so much that they don’t care if they get it wrong a couple of times…

What happend to “Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer”?

NATO really needs to step up their game when it comes to those “softer” attacks via misinformation and using refugees as a weapon though

Case in point “luxury” clothes that cost insane amounts of money just because they have labels printed on them for everyone to see and not because.the fabric is particularly great.

Sure it’s good quality but not better than what you get for half the price and not even close to the custom tailored stuff the really rich people wear…

Really don’t understand how people spend a fortune to walk around advertising for Gucci, LV, etc…

Body Cameras Were Sold as a Tool of Police Reform. Ten Years Later, Most of the Footage Is Kept From Public View. (www.propublica.org)

At least 1,201 people were killed in 2022 by law enforcement officers, about 100 deaths a month, according to Mapping Police Violence, a nonprofit research group that tracks police killings. ProPublica examined the 101 deaths that occurred in June 2022, a time frame chosen because enough time had elapsed that investigations...

hh93 ,

why else would this be one of the only countries where officers are lethally armed around the clock

Because it’s also the only country where many citizens are lethally armed around the clock I’d guess

If you stop a random person in traffic in Europe for routine control then it’s extremely unlikely that they have a gun in their car and even less likely that they will pull it on you.

If you are permanently having to think about scenarios where random people pull a gun on you because it’s not a very unlikely situation to happen then it’s not unreasonable to expect certain paranoia to start to form…

While the stats for “people killed by police” are always shown around I’d guess that the “police killed by citizens” also is much higher in the US.

Gun control is the only solution that even has a chance to remove this spiralling violence of trigger happy cops imho

hh93 ,

I’d guess a police officer is seeing more than 50 random people a day though which makes it a daily occurrence to be in contact with people carrying which actually strengthens my point

hh93 ,

“but he claimed to be Anarcho and anti-government”…

hh93 ,

Yeah Battery capacity getting low is one of the main reasons why most people replace their phones

Once you are able to just switch to a fresh battery again and clean up some of the apps running on your phone it’s as good as new in most cases and people wouldn’t buy new phones as often.

Can’t have people not buying new things regularly…

I wonder how a strictly linear thread structure is possible to transpose into a branching structure like lemmy

So it’s basically how a lot of German truckers lost their job to polish and Romanian truckers with EU regulations?

Poland is starting to move from on of the main beneficiaries of the EU to having poorer countries next to then it seems

Using the pro version for years - they regularly have sales where you get 50% more time per € so it’s not nearly as expensive if you stock up for 2+years if they do that

I thought that guy was supposed to be “Anarcho”?

Switched from Galaxy to Playnite a couple of months ago and am happy with it so far

The right wing parties in Europe copy the Trump-Republicans completely even in issues that don’t even make sense here so it only seems logical that they also try to copy the look

Saudi Arabia Is Trying to Block a Global Deal to End Fossil Fuels, Negotiators Say (www.nytimes.com)

The Saudi delegation has flatly opposed any language in a deal that would even mention fossil fuels — the oil, gas and coal that, when burned, create emissions that are dangerously heating the planet. Saudi negotiators have also objected to a provision, endorsed by at least 118 countries, aimed at tripling global renewable...

One more reason for renewables so sucking the dicks of dictators can’t help you win elections as easy as that

How would you know who did it with such a code?

Also it only works once since you need to reveal the true code to dispute the picture

I mean the mother signed a contract? there’s a “classic” case that if an old person ordered a stair lift and then died before construction started the heirs will still have to pay for that.

It’s just that you inherit not just the values but also the obligations as shitty as it might be

and that she apparently didn’t even send them the death-certificate before going to the media makes this just drip from big Karen-energy…

hh93 ,

At least it’s that way in Germany

My father died 2 years ago and my sister and I had to pay for construction at the house he signed off a month before his death even though we didn’t want that and both our lawyers said there’s no way to get out of that unless you deny the whole inheritance

hh93 ,

Not to forget that they are extremely shitty when it comes to vegetarian options especially compared to Burger King

The goal is not wiping out Hamas entirely but removing their strategic capabilities within Gaza.

The IS being active in the middle east isn’t a huge problem for the US but if they had a base in Cuba you’d for sure have the military there removing it asap…

hh93 ,

Their whole personality is being AGAINST something and not being for something since that would potentially make them vulnerable for criticism

hh93 ,

My girlfriend got a legal claim for using stremio when her vpn failed which in Germany is only possible if you actively upload something so I’d say it does that

hh93 ,

Yeah but afaik downloading in Germany isn’t against the law since it’s allowed to download a “backup copy” of things you actually own legally so it’s pretty much never enforced. The only way people in Germany get sued is for uploading but then a couple of bytes is already enough in many cases

hh93 ,

The only German in the top 10 of the richest Germans that didn’t inherit that spot is the founder of Biontec - and while he did a great job there it’s just sheer luck that the pandemic hit when it did

hh93 ,

It still needs to be repeated over and over since people are absolutely opposing a higher inheritance tax thinking it would influence them inheriting their grandma’s house because that’s how those populists are usually spinning it…

hh93 ,

I don’t know how it is in the us but here in Germany many (single-brand-)dealers are also licensed mechanics (for that brand) - and since EVs are taking much less repairing than traditional cars they are basically shooting themselves in the foot by selling them

The main upgrade they need is the processor because the companies making those are not supporting newer Android-Versions and at some point that becomes a security-issue.

Problem is that replacing the processor to a newer generation usually means the whole mainboard is obsolete, too and then is very quickly doesn’t become easy to upgrade anymore

just switching between different types of cameras, screens etc. wouldn’t be as big of a problem but that’s also not part of the main-problem either

hh93 ,

Or use adnauseam and fuck up their ad-tracking infrastructure beyond just blocking the ads

hh93 ,

Yeah I really don’t understand how many Americans are okay with people being murdered in prison.

Their sentence is prison, not death.

I think a lot of people want revenge over justice while at the same time mistrusting their justice system to work correctly…
