Not just bumps but designing infrastructure so it forces the drivers to negotiate it at lower speeds.

Simple stuff like narrowing the approach to junctions and roundabouts so it has to be taken at a slower speed than it being a wider aperture when minimal braking is required.

Raising the pedestrian or bike where it crosses a road (on side streets) so the vehicle has to slow rather than the active transport methods.

Reallocating road space to wider pavements and segregated bike lanes so streets are mixed modal.

Immigrants who came to a land in boats wearing orange that fought the people who lived there to get off the land, don't like it that immigrants are coming there so they're burning effigies of immigrants in boats wearing orange?

Sure.... Makes sense!

they spent so long trying to make amends

Did they really though? They worked to appease their guilt but never really dealt with the underlying reasons it happened in the first place.

Most of those that did the dirty work during ww2 just went home after and carried on.

Same with the British. Most people have no idea about how or why all the shit in the middle east started or why it continues.

BRICS is making headway with that.

The US empire is already in decline. What it's allies need to work out is when to jump ship

Entry only if shown to be sterilised by the state

You have a system that is mostly based on gentlemans agreements from a time when most of them were slave traders/owners.

Similar to the British system, if a cunt gets into power, there's no real safeguards against them acting cuntishly because it's a system based on gentlemen agreements amongst the descendants of the Norman aristocracy

If it wasn't, they at least knew it was coming & deliberately allowed it to happen, then used the Hannibal directive to kill as many of their own citizens to profit from it

Despite pleading guilty to the charges, Keenan maintained that he is not sexually attracted to children, and had only stumbled upon the child pornography in 2017 while “searching for other images such as sunsets and beaches,”

In all the time I've been online (early to mid 90s), I've only encountered CSAM once & that was browsing 4chan back between 2005 to 2008 when arseholes did a flood of one of the boards & I went on a major sanitisation of my machine.

Never have I encountered it "in the wild" nor when looking for images such as "sunsets and beaches".

Jail the guy for a long time and put the judge in a neighbouring cell.

While Netanyahu has been a shit stain on the world stage for the last +25 years, getting rid of him alone will not stop the violent zionist settler colonial project. It existed before he was born and will continue unless the root cause is fully understood.

No, just legislate that all AI companies have to publish every single source they used for their training models and proof they have permissions/licenses to do so. If its later shown that they used a source and didnt list it, they can be fined & sued for a % of the companies revenue.

Then all the copyright holders of those sources then sue the AI companies for infringement/retrospective licenses.

Considering that the bbc is not a very trustworthy media outlet, I view them reporting this with the same incredulity of all the maga cried going on about Hunter Bidens laptop.

Not to say I don't think PRNK isn't an authoritarian regime but all the things they claim about that phone are the kind of malware that Western agencies use all the time.

Just found & joined Lemmy and so want to add to it by starting a community on a favourite (time & money consuming!) hobby: modular synthesis.

This is my current system although I'm currently building a Befaco Hexmix, Robaux LL8 and a Sonic Potions Penrose quantizer.

I have a new case arriving next month that's portable so once we can go outside and congregate again, I'm going to look at playing some shows (if I actually have any music and haven't just disappeared down a noise rabbit hole!)


2 years on and the system looks like this:

Another case by Case From Lake and plenty of modules that I managed to acquire through luck such as the ACL Sinfonion for £750!

I'll have to go through my ModularGrid page to update my racks there and post them
