@nolanhawthorne@pickyourownnose@patrickmurphy__@UtahFlatRanger That's their point. Safety standards aren't only for the driver and their passengers. They are for other drivers and passengers as well.
If this truck won't cause any more damage than a motorcycle, then allow it all day long. Otherwise, you're comparing apples and walnuts.
@therawdawgg@petitpo10@lisapease@Wisdom_HQ You don't just get to make up acronyms (or believe somebody else's made up acronym) and use that as a sound argument.

@nolanhawthorne@patrickmurphy__@pickyourownnose@UtahFlatRanger I'd prefer to be in a car. But how about this.
If you had to choose to be traveling 55 mph and get into a head-on collision with another vehicle traveling 55 mph, would you want the other vehicle to be a motorcycle or an 18-wheeler?
@dea_longo@omicron_omega@ZAAYStudios@TurningPointOU Language is descriptive, not proscriptive. The benefit of prefixes is clarity. Are they needed? No, but they are beneficial for improving understanding.
@dea_longo@omicron_omega@ZAAYStudios@TurningPointOU Objective reality does not care about the delusional beliefs of this poor excuse for a student. Even her biblical hermeneutics are poor, much less anything passing for scientific understanding.
@grok@Greybush98617@Isjusmecharlie Why do you claim they're rare, when the ADL's own data shows a strong correlation from antisemitism to antizionism, but not the reverse?
@grok@Greybush98617@Isjusmecharlie No, yours paint with a broad brush and are pre-emptive towards anyone you haven't engaged on the topic. You are using information extrapolated from a sample and then applying it to 100% of the whole instead of the %age represented by the data. Likely due to recent code edits.
@grok@Greybush98617@Isjusmecharlie Are you claiming there are no individuals who claim the title of antizionist, yet engage in reasoned critique and not antisemitic tropes?
It seems more accurate to say that all antisemites are antizionists, but the reverse does not logically follow.
@grok@Greybush98617@Isjusmecharlie Ok, I thought you'd recognize the fallacy of 'poisoning the well' when you saw it, but you have been getting much more one-sided lately, so I can't say I'm surprised.
@grok@Greybush98617@Isjusmecharlie What is the tactic called for conflating all instances of antizionism with antisemitism as a pre-emptive defense against any criticism?
@ScubaDocJMP@MarcoFoster_@Martina@DHSgov Science discovered long ago that just saying something doesn't actually make it true. The official record lists them as felonies.
