Of course people are the problem. But the problem is the people arguing and voting for more car infrastructure, which is a different set of people than drivers. A lot of people drive while being supportive of other modes of transportation, because they have to use the infrastructure that already exists.

The problem is car-centric infrastructure, which the description of this community agrees with. Each person’s responsibility to fix the problem is their slice of making policy decisions that change the infrastructure. You can’t fix the problem just by getting mad at people who use the existing infrastructure.
This post rubs me the wrong way because it shifts blame for a systemic issue onto individual drivers. There are a lot of drivers that should not be on the road but they are forced onto the road by a lack of viable alternatives. The resulting consequences should be blamed on those planning decisions, not on the individuals.
Mk23simpto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Ah yes, the trouble sitting still disorderEnglish11·4 days agoI think it has less to do with the actual name ADHD as it does with the stereotypes that laypeople think of and with the actual diagnostic criteria. Regardless of the name, how it is viewed is much more of an outside perspective rather than a description of what it’s actually like. Autism has a similar issue as well.
Plus, at the time I was growing up the DSM-IV said that you can’t have both ADHD and Autism which is probably part of why I was diagnosed with neither.

Is she afraid of AMAB people seeing girls undress because they might be attracted to them? Because, if so, I have news for her about lesbians.
The only way to fix that is to give everyone privacy. Which you probably should be doing anyways.

My lesbian GF played 5D chess by clocking that I was an transfem egg and dating me for years before I realized it for myself. XD

He is taking it further away from that ideal too, but the ideal has never been remotely close to real.

That’s not fair, there are plenty of furries who are not righties.

That is - autism may increase the use of painkiller use in pregnancy. Since all evidence points to autism being genetic.
Mk23simpto politics @lemmy.world•It’s Happened: The United States of America Is No Longer a Democracy47·8 days agoI would trace it back to September 11, 2001 at least. Specifically, the highly authoritarian response to that. There’s a direct line from what the US government started doing then to what they’re doing now.

That certainly covers a lot of it, but there are quite a few things that are clearly 100% Trump. Like, for instance -
Gulf of America
Rose Patio
White House ballroom
“Reciprocal Tariffs”
Prosecuting and censoring people Trump personally dislikes
Most of the Trump ideas are just extremely petty and/or incompetent while the actual competent evil ideas come from ghouls with more remaining brain cells. Often just copied straight from Heritage.
