I don't think I'd dare comment on anything politics, religion, environment, current events on Reddit post API change
I go there for about five special interest subs and I try to not be logged in when I want to look up something else there, to curb my tendency to reply
So that's the position current implementation of rules of Reddit and subs have scared me into. It's a bit of a police state, with big sub mods as secret police
I see you didn't reply to @WoodScientist@lemmy.world. It's a long comment but I think it tweaks at your preference in an interesting way
The person proposed that people protesting climate change shouldn't block roads because cars are more important (or something - they didn't argue all that thoroughly and their one example wasn't as they described it)
I think they deserve the down votes
My ex father in law was badly injured running into a car broken down, parked in a bike lane (there wasn't anywhere else they could have stopped). He was training for a triathlon which he didn't get to participate in, nursing two broken arms
Sometimes even without the help of arseholes your bike lane may be blocked. Look up regularly, people.
I think it would be easy to defend against, with so many of those stickers around it could easily demonstrate just a particular sense of humour
Best case is it breaks the windscreen for you so your head gets the gentler landing against the chest of the driver
I am so glad I don't live where you do. Cyclists here are presumed to be reasonably wealthy, having the time to spend getting around our car based town at ~20km/h
So people behave a little better, police listen a bit more. Now I just wish they'd protect the main cycle route from my suburb cluster to the city centre with more than paint – that's the sort of place where people don't leave room, they presume they'll be okay so long as they don't cross the painted line
I just watched the megalag videos on the glasses — the first episode of three — and the claim is they cut out confusing areas of colour that abnormal chromats see.
So if it worked, it only works for people with abnormal versions of one of the three normal colour vision sensors, and only if their deficiency is in green, and then only if it's the correct degree of deficient
But it doesn't work anyway.
The glasses help people see the number in some sheets in the colourblindness test, but hide the number in others. Their colour blindness would appear slightly worse than reality.
If a lot of people are out of work and idle by automation, and new stuff doesn't come along to employ them (like level 4 self driving will destroy 30% of jobs)
Those people will be looking for a fix pretty quick. Starving men may go to extremes. Maybe our obesogenic food environment is there to slow down revolutions (I know that's impossible, but a fun thought)
If they had worked they might have done so by some sort of contrast enhancement or edge detection, but I don't think either are possible with just optics
Places that get pedestrianised one time each year do it with strong temporary barriers. Permanent car free places do other things to keep cars out
They plant trees
They install heavy concrete plant pots
And some that want to perform security use bold stainless steel bollards
It is harder to protect street sides, things like slowing down traffic (with road design, not speed limits) can help, adding protected bike lanes can help
Mods can ban you from communities, cancel any of your posts, delete any of your comments. That's about it.
The trouble is that people are unfairly banned from subs they have followed and contributed to for years and there is no appeal other than begging the guy who just maliciously kicked you out
That's not counting mods who are also admins and mods who are good friends with an admin. You can get a site wide ban for saying the wrong thing in front of one of them
