KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
In the future; when you’re trying to say something could’ve occurred - don’t say just as likely. Say “could’ve occurred” for example. “To be fair, this crash could’ve occurred while traveling at the legal speed limit” Im happy to help if you ever find yourself struggling with literacy
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
K Glad we agree then. You think I’m melting down, and I think you have problems accurately conveying what you’re trying to say. It’s just as likely that this conversation could’ve taken place with a monkey.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
When someone says something that is misinterpreted by people reading it; that’s not illiteracy of the person reading it; it’s of the person writing it. If you didn’t mean that it was just as likely that the crash could occur at lower speeds; then don’t say that in the future.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
That isn’t what you said. Maybe that’s what you thought you said, but it wasn’t. You can go back and read it again. Anyways, it doesn’t matter; If you agree every crash that has ever occurred in history was made worse by more speed; then there is nothing to argue about.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You’re the one who said this crash was equally as likely to have occurred at a lower speed. If that wasn’t what you meant; that’s ok. Sometimes it can be difficult to accurately convey your point
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe I was just typing too fast given that you told me speed couldn’t have been a factor.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe that’s what you thought you said; but you didn’t. But if you now admit that you agree, speed actually is the factor (contrary to what you said earlier) then there is nothing else to say.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
If you agree that going faster increases the risk of collision as well as the harm from the said collison; then there is nothing else to be said here. You don’t need to keep quoting 5th grade physics at me. I understand it. Something it’s not entirely clear you do.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
Untrue, speed is the factor in every collision. You cannot plow through a wall at 5 km/hr with the same force as you can at 20 km/hr. It’s just physics.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
Now they’re pretending that isn’t what they said.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
Any crash that did occur at 40 is less likely to have occurred at 30; and will do less harm if it does occur. That’s just physics. Anyone who says (or believes) that speed is not the decisive factor in *every* collision ever; is objectively wrong.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
Don’t try and gaslight me now. If your response to we should slow cars down Is Actually slowing them won’t make a difference Then what you’ve said is that you don’t believe in physics. If you acknowledge more speed and more weight is worse in every single scenario; then nothing else to say.
KangaRod (@kangarod.bsky.social) reply parent
That isn’t what you said though. Maybe you think you did, but you didn’t. What you said is that lowering speeds doesn’t make a difference

I’m not going to argue with someone who thinks a smart car going 30 hits just as hard as an f150 going 40. Says nothing of the fact that it’s easier to stop, turn, and just spot hazards from lower speeds. I don’t know where this idea that faster is safer comes from; but it’s fucking stupid

If it’s unethical for anyone to withhold their labour because a job is deemed essential; surely it’s at least as unethical for shareholders to profit from that essential industry.

Do you think (legally speaking) “morning coffee” would refer to the first coffee of the day immediately after waking up; or specifically only coffee consumed in the morning (read, before noon) - because if it’s the latter I hope this tweet doesn’t turn up in discovery.

When I was bequeathed all the rental properties, the contingencies of their continued ownership were very clearly outlined. “You MUST drink your morning coffee this way; or ownership will revert back to Sister Mary of the Covenant.” Tho now I am slightly worried around the definition of “morning”

We have to give the unreasonably angry people what they want or they are going to get angrier is pretty standard liberal capitulation for things they just wanted to do anyways. People like JL never seem to care enough what the reasonably angry people are saying to them.

might be a hot take; but I wouldn’t give a fuck even if the pro-pollution, pro-noise, pro-harm mayoral candidates did win; they’re wrong, and real leadership is being able to steer the ship correctly even when more than 50% of people want to crash into the iceberg.
