knox_harrington posted:re: traffic calming, the area at the end of my street by the metro station is one of these shared-space ideas where there are no road markings for cars and no pavements / sidewalks. Apparently the idea is that road markings give car drivers a sense of ownership of their bit of road, and removing the lines makes them more cautious. my experience of these means I am just very uncomfortable walking along while a giant suv slowly creeps up behind me

my kid got her first shot on Wednesday and did not appear to have much of a reaction over the past few days, which was a nice change of pace. the maritimes still haven't approved a second booster for anyone <50 which... I guess maybe at this point they're waiting for late summer/autumn so that everyone gets maximal protection going into late autumn/early winter

EIDE Van Hagar posted:those automatically deploying bollards that just stab your oil pan. This car’s predatory behavior is possibly its most interesting trait. They hunt for prey during the night, which makes them nocturnal. They perch on high branches with clear, open views so they can spot prey. Once they spot a potential meal they swoop down, grab it, and carry it to their favorite impaling location. These cars work smarter, not harder.

I remember reading a writeup somewhere (possibly here, possibly on a media blog) about how absolutely masterful to buildup to the buttplug fight is. they slowly give you all the pieces one by one, then in one quick shot they slam it all home and rely on you to instantly realize what it means and you totally do

i went into it entirely blind knowing nothing beyond what my friend told me, ‘it’s about a chinese woman doing her taxes’ so there were quite a few unexpected twists and turns and yeah if a shot of two rocks can start jerking the tears then it’s a good movie, imo

if scientists want to study absolute silence they will put mics on an engaged crowd watching eeaao during the rock scene. you could hear a mouse three houses away in my living room when that went down. i was staring like a fool and not moving a muscle. it's such a good movie.

It's not a surprise. there are a bunch of privileged idiots who didn't pay attention to the discussions of smallpox and polio in school and were completely oblivious to ebola and zika and TB and influenza outbreaks during their lifetime and so on and are just absolutely broke brained at the very idea that diseases are bad

We've always sucked as a species, we just had an understanding in the western world back when polio was being eradicated that state power could be used to affect positive change in society. We even eradicated measles, an incredibly contagious disease, in the US twenty two years ago. In those twenty two years, the idea that government power can be used to do anything has become completely unthinkable, it's incredible. If we tried to stamp out smoking today like we did fifteen years ago it wouldn't happen. We'd never get smoking bans passed on any level of government larger than a city council.
