Oh nooo, they desperately needed an emergency 10cc of ego transplant but the fell though a bridge on the way to the boostegoification facility.

Rip.

I hope they build a new wider 4 lane bridge to accommodate the most basic traffic needs.

This thread is wild. People wanting to charge this guy and happy that this guy died (clearly non readers). Weird.

Fuckcars is a very toxic community. Not just this one on lemmy. Online bicycle activists are like vegans, actively turning people away from an objectively good lifestyle because they're just such giant sanctimonious dicks about it.

[–] toaster@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 months ago

Many communities have some number of jerks. I actually find that people constantly stereotype based on outliers they hear about online. I've met very few vegans who were normal, reasonable prople, yet I've met very many people who steteotype and hate on vegans despite knowing none.

Edit 3: I know nobody here is going to miss me, but I'm going to block this community and I feel it's fair for me to get to explain why. I've frequented this community since I came from reddit and the comments always come across as "us vs them" to the point of hostility toward each other. It's really not kind or welcoming. I hope you all have a nice day and find that feeling of welcomeness that I was looking for

Edit 2: Are people just angry? I ask a genuine question and get two snide remarks as answers. Lemmy is proving to be NO better than reddit

Is it just me or does the bridge on the left look like it has concrete flooring? If so, why didn't they just get two pictures of the actual affected bridge?

Edit: please don't just downvote me. I'm asking a question because I don't know the answer

The quality of online discourse suffers severely on weekends, particularly holiday weekends. I support and respect that you expect more. But, everything at scale is ,at best, moderate. Find your tiny home. Then, venture out only when you want. Consider using a couple of accounts to segregate conversations at home from conversations outside.

[–] flerp@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're giving them too much credit. Yeah it would be nice if online discussions could be more civil but the "snide" comments mentioned were not worth getting upset about and one of them wasn't even snide at all but actually helpful and genuinely answering the question to which they responded defensively and playing the victim. That kind of victim mentality to actually helpful comments that maybe the original commenter didn't want to hear and editing to whine about downvotes is just as annoying as moderately uncivil comments.

[–] SirDerpy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

the "snide" comments mentioned were not worth getting upset about

You didn't understand that we seek better than average, making your judgements both unwanted and useless. Your failure in reading comprehension has made you a hypocrite.

Bravo, average user: You're meeting expectations.

[–] flerp@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The bridge on the left is the same bridge and has the same wooden flooring. It might just be hard for you to see in the shadows.

You are getting downvoted for saying it isn’t the same bridge in both pictures.

Point out the "snide" in this. They asked a question and this comment answered their question honestly. You can attack me and insult me all you like (which funnily enough makes you the hypocrite considering I did not attack you and you're the one who was complaining about attacking comments) but it won't change the fact the the original commenter here that you're defending got upset and defensive about a decent comment honestly answering their question. Maybe you should check your own reading comprehension before going after that of others.

You started by interjecting mediocrity when not wanted, now open with a request and continue to strawman. I stopped reading due to your sense of entitlement.

If you want taught then I suggest you humble down and find yourself a mediocre teacher. I've better choices, such as the one expecting more from humanity than what you chose to deliver.

[–] flerp@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yep, the whole thing was projection. You're complaining about toxicity in comments and yet you are exuding toxicity with every word.

Maybe instead of stopping reading, you should actually read and respond to it honestly instead of deflecting back into ad hominem attacks. If you are able to actually put forth an explanation defending your position instead of attacking me, then we could have a discussion about it. What was snide about that comment? What strawman did I make? As it stands, you're just doing what you're blaming everyone else of doing.

[–] SirDerpy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Why would you think I'd read this after my last post? Answer for yourself.
