@Himothymarx@_Bob_S@Shultzbros@BadAndy167 Humility served with a single link. I was dubious but am now humbled by facts.
Thank you for taking the high ground and not treating me with the same sarcasm, derision, and scorn that I treated you with.
I am sorry and I hope you will excuse me for it.
@saras76 So the moment the aggressor shoves the other man refuses to leave, and continues to act aggressively, does it mean that a lethal response is justified?
Just a few weeks ago it seemed like a lot of people were saying this would call for lethal force. Has that changed now?
@UziCryptoo@Schweino68 Rural America has jobs & lots of properties renting for less than half that. 2200 would be a mortgage payment on a nice 3-4 bedroom house with a big back yard.
There are tradeoffs; you have to decide what's important to you. And if its "major city" life then that's on you.
@kriskrohn_ Maybe you should consider a market that isn't quite that expensive? If you want to have your cake and eat it too there is a price for that.
@jasondfarris@willfleming We spend lots of time in work zones in PA. It's common to see workers not holding signs (they are often supported by a frame or stand & they simply twist between Stop/Slow). High visibility clothing means he's controlling the intersection; just poorly.
@willfleming Were I an AI Safety Operator I'd seek out construction zones & drive through on loop to gather edge case data. FSD must master work zones.
This was treated like a regular traffic device and not a controlled/directed zone. I've seen people do this also.
We need a bit more shame.
People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this.
Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation.
It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.
