News@lemmy.world•California Wants to Put License Plates on E-Bikes and Slow Them Down. Cyclists Are Not Happy About It
1·2 days agoIt’s really a shame. Ebikes are amazing and have the potential to really bring bicycling to the masses. But these jackasses riding motocross rock hoppers down the sidewalk are going to ruin it for everybody.

News@lemmy.world•California Wants to Put License Plates on E-Bikes and Slow Them Down. Cyclists Are Not Happy About It
2·2 days agoThat’s what I thought as well yet I see what are essentially electrically powered off-road motorcycles everywhere. There’s no enforcing the sales end of it, which I guess means it’s up to local law enforcement?

News@lemmy.world•California Wants to Put License Plates on E-Bikes and Slow Them Down. Cyclists Are Not Happy About It
4·2 days agoYes but the souped up e-bikes doing 30 need regulation as well. Maybe not by placing them into an existing category where they don’t fit but some of these rigs out here are freaking ridiculous and ruining it for everyone.

Technology@lemmy.world•Utah first state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs — law goes into effect, designed to prevent bypassing age checksEnglish
1·2 days agoI might not underestimate how much big tech companies hate this too. They are pretty famous about despising all regulation of their space. I wouldn’t put it past them to block a backwater like Utah.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s disapproval rating hits record high, new poll shows
7·2 days agoIs it as simple as 38% approve and 62% disapprove? Many polls have something in the middle for “neither approve nor disapprove.”
In those polls, the disapproval rate can move without anything changing in the approval rating, and that’s worth reporting.
Just saying It isn’t entirely either/or.

31·2 days agoYeah the analysis has to start with the fact that a majority of American voters chose this.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump DOJ says LGBTQ+ legal protections are "anti-Christian," pledges to erode them further - LGBTQ Nation
3·4 days agoBut don’t you understand that gay people merely existing prevents these people from pursuing their own religion, which includes the serene knowledge that the entire world is like them?? /s

Technology@lemmy.world•Emergency First Responders Say Waymos Are Getting WorseEnglish
82·4 days agoWhy are you assuming the ambulance is the first car behind the Waymo? Are they supposed to bash through all traffic to get to the Waymo and then push it? You know a lot of ambulance drivers are just low level private employees with a couple weeks of training, right? They’re not going to just use the ambulance like a tank and then tell their corporate ambulance company employer to sue Waymo, a huge and powerful tech company. Christ man join reality.

World News@lemmy.world•Pope Leo speaks out against cardinal ordering blessings for gay couplesEnglish
2·4 days agoBecause they were raised Catholic and they want their church to stop demonizing them. Blessing them would be a start. People are taught religion from a young age, perhaps younger than they have any kind of sexual identity. Therefore their whole concept of “them” may be as much Catholic as it is gay.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that the idea that drivers pay for roads is a myth, because funding sources also include property taxes, sales taxes and income taxes that people pay regardless of whether they drive or not
4·6 days agoIt is not a bad faith argument. Literally every single thing you eat is delivered by trick.
Obviously you have an overwhelming association between cars and roads in your brain but you could absolutely not survive without roads.

1·6 days agoOkay. Most of your comment seemed to be focused on whether they resemble actual humans. I don’t think we have any information about whether these impact your mental health but I would tend to agree they can’t be good.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The new US passport design looks great
6·7 days agoThis is not the actual graphic, and not all passports are getting Trump’s face on them. BBC says that these “commemorative” passports will be a limited run available only through the Washington passport bureau.
