OfCourseNot

I wasn't talking really about the law, as long as they don't ban helmets I don't care. The anti-helmets might have a point tho, if the helmets are what's keeping these idiots from getting out of the car and onto a(n e-)bike just let them ride without it, it's a win-win-win situation and spending resources trying to avoid it doesn't seem very smart. In the other hand, where I live is the other way around, illegal for motorbikes and mopeds but legal for bikes and scooters, but we have a public health system and I think if everyone is gonna have to pay for either brain surgery or a pack of ibuprofen a dumb personal decision can become a collective burden, so mandating helmets can make more sense. Idrk.

Glad you listened to the calls of brain to protect it! Helmets are cool.

Wear a helmet, kids! Doesn't matter if you're riding an e-bike, a motorcycle, an e-scooter... if you're sharing the road with cars, vans, trolleys.. and your head is what's going to take the hit in case of an accident, wear a fucking helmet! (Some hi-viz, or light saturated colours, or anything that makes you more visible and stand out won't hurt either)

Or don't, idk, given the state of the world I think Darwin could use a bit of help, so if you don't feel like messing your hair, or you find it a bit uncomfortable, you do you. Thanks for the organs, btw.

Ding ding!

Don't the rest of the countries in the region use similar maps? South Korea, Australia, Japan...? I would expect that to be the case, it seems more natural.

As the other commenter said you can wait outside. Also, if you let the water run in the bathroom sink until it's hot it'll be just a couple seconds for it to get to the shower.

In my country (eu) it's illegal to burn the national flag. It's also illegal to burn a picture of the king (offence to the crown), and making a post like this but with a bible would be considered 'offence to the religious sentiments' (this is only for catholics, the feelings of other believers be damned).

It does. I'm posting this comment on the Mbin pwa on my iPhone, works pretty well.

It might be that we are not more resistant in general, but that ads and propaganda are tailored for normative minds not for ours. If they made them specially for autistic people it could be the other way around.

IIRC the forever chemicals are not the coating that stays on the pan. The Teflon coating is inert, the toxic part is the water soluble PFAS they use to apply it that would go away (away meaning everywhere, each and every corner of the planet) while or shortly after manufacturing, or with the first uses.

So if you already own non-sticky pans don't get rid of them, but look for another alternative when you buy a new one tho.

Independent from what? The government? Money? There aren't 'independent' broadcasters, news agencies, journals, or anything really. Everything is propaganda. Like this article states 700k Palestinian people dead in the war so far, with the source being another article from themselves with some weird math, which is ten times what other sources are reporting—all of them, from the Gaza Health Ministry and Al Jazeera to western 'left' leaning media. If anything, they can only be independent from reality. They're never bound by the truth, but by their own interests and biases.

So, is abolishing slavery and child labor an attack on freedom? Would it be more free a country where these are legal?

It's easy. You protect children from religion the same way we already do with alcohol, tobacco, porn, explicit violence... and all the other adult things. Developing problematic behaviours around these things is much more likely the younger you start. Religions know this well, that's why they start as soon as the child is born. It would be very difficult to convince an adult person to do crazy things for the magic man in the sky if it wasn't drilled since they were a baby.
