I know, it’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m sorry I even suggested it in the first place. /s

Hey @marathon@lemmy.ca I had a whole big thing typed up, but I want to engage with you in good faith… Would you be willing to tell me what, in your eyes is so bad about some painted nails, dyed hair/men’s long hair, “unprofessional” tattoos, and the other things that were originally introduced?
I think its probably possible to use a meme format without intending it to compare yourself to the subject of the meme
Weird way to announce that you’re a woman but ok
Letter paper (8.5" x 11" | 215.9mm x 279.4mm) is kinda sorta pretty close to A4 (8.27" x 11.69" | 210mm x 297mm) so without having the two next to each other, it can seem like A4 is just a funny piece of letter, and vice versa. But to answer the actual question, USA and Canada (and apparently the phillipines???) use the “North American Standard” which is a terrifying mess in comparison to the beauty that is the ISO standard.
Edit: typos
Idk, I seem to recall that when I was (more of) a young’un, I was told that staring was rude across the board.
As an ex employee, I’m incredibly frustrated that it’s been conveniently not included in a single press release. I’m starting to look into preemptively freezing everything.
It’s a (probably ai gen) DND druid meme???
Alright, let me walk back and apologize for my performative argumentation and be extremely clear about my opinion in the shortest, most sincere way I can do this.
Fewer human drivers is good
Fewer cars on the road at all is better
Self driving does significantly increase the safety of roads, however increasing transit and reducing cars on the road increases safety for everyone by a larger margin
While selfdriving is good to reduce the number of human caused accidents, telsa’s implementation is has no secondary sensors, and no map correlation for it’s vision results
Even with self driving, car centric infrastructure steals valuable space that could be used for housing, transit or pedestrians
Ultimately, I think our disconnect is that my argumentation made it seem like I dont support both (I was really unclear, I apologize) self driving is really awesome for road safety, but on it’s own, it still means there’s generally the same amount of cars on the road. Implementation of (reliable) self driving in combination with other regulatory changes such as larger public transit investment, stricter testing regulations, stronger punishments for breaking driving laws, and more regulation on where cars are allowed will do more than self driving on its own could ever do.
Sorry perhaps I was unclear. (Or perhaps you willfully misinterpreted me)
You want Tesla to create transit infrastructure?
I don’t think Tesla should be making anything as long as the current figurehead is in charge. Transit should always be public infrastructure… Not sure how you would have thought I was advocating for privatized public transit.
You honestly think there’s a person that exists that has done this?
I also never intended to suggest that self driving is pushing individuals from adopting transit… Moreso that the proverbial carrot of “fewer road accidents thanks to self driving” is likely to prevent regulators from taking the note effective steps of:
I understand it might not feel that way, but it’s the actual truth, we have massive amounts of data on this, and your feelings don’t outweigh that.
Yep. And fewer cars overall makes pedestrians safer as well. You dont want human drivers, I dont want cars
Sorry, have to disagree. Tesla’s special blend of vision-only driving and software built seemingly with generative ai leads to unsafe situations.
On top of that, self driving is a solution that keeps cars on the roads… Yucky. Make the driving tests stricter to weed out idiots and build much more robust transit infrastructure for everyone else.
Musk and Trump fan calling me a chud. Thats rich.
Yeah, people tend to dislike deranged narcissistic transphobes that parrot racist dogwhistles all day while also driving multiple companies into the ground and endangering people’s lives with his vehicles
You know what, you’re right. Looks like I’ve gone too long assuming they were interchangeably usable by changing the surrounding words.
I’ll redact my previous statement, though to be clear, I still strongly disagree that one could say that the attackers schizophrenia was definitely a factor in this without having a previously existing mental evaluation and the expertise to understand it. You could say that it’s more likely to have been influenced by his schizophrenia, but as I previously noted, a relatively small minority of schizophrenic people are violent (10-15%).
You don’t need to be a psychologist to determine whether his mental illness was a factor.
I’m not saying his mental illness was the reason.
Please continue saying more contradictory statements.
If you think it could be a factor, then you think it might be a reason that he did this. It could be a factor, but again, neither of us are equipped to evaluate the mental status of someone based on news articles.
Edit: Factor =/= Reason. My argument in this message is flatly incorrect due to this, though I’ll leave it up.
Please don’t tell me to stop and breathe, I’m fully calm in this discussion.
My argument is that no one in this thread is a psychologist who has evaluated the schizophrenic person. Not you, not me, not anyone else. We can speculate as to the cause, but making prescriptive statements like “he did this because he has schizophrenia” only serve to stigmatize the condition further when we truly have no idea if that was the cause.
A person who is mentally ill and has done violent things, doesn’t mean they did those violent things because of their illness.
In fact, your “common sense” isn’t even supported by science.
Only 10-15% of schizophrenic people exhibit violent tendencies
Schizophrenic people living in communities are up to 14x more likely to be the victim of violence rather than the perpetrator
Finally, this is anecdotal, but for whatever it’s worth, I have multiple (3) friends who are schizophrenic and they are genuinely the kindest people I know, whether or not they are on their medication.
Stop vilifying the mentally ill.
Its a quote from Rogue One if I’m not mistaken
