The instance could be a problem if you scroll through the ‘local’ feed often and thats where you see a lot of things you don’t wish to see. A European or special interest instance might suit your context, (Portuguese?), better.

I spend more time on my ‘local’ (aussie zone) feed than ‘subscribed’ or ‘all’ and its definitely nicer, so a move like this can work.

But you could also optimise your own ‘subscriber’ feed as another option.

A roadway allowed multiple speeds across the lanes could be how to get around this.

If the citizens of a transport zone don’t like the rules as they stand, ie, one single speed for all lanes, they should lobby to vary them.

Apart from cases where multiple speeds happen, the speed limit is the speed limit, the person behind contravenes rules if they speed, use the shoulder, etc. They’re in the wrong, they have agency, and decide to cause the unsafe situation.

The person ahead, as that video showed to the tune of straight funktown, may cause worsened traffic conditions, but they’re not the people being dangerous on the road. (Assuming they are going within the range of the expected limit)

1. Often people use those lanes to speed. If a car ahead is overtaking at or within a reasonable range of the speed limit, but not at the speed the speeder wants to travel. The speeder must be patient, they don’t get to dictate what manoeuvres are happening ahead.

2. The argument you present at the end isn’t logical,

… Always do the safest thing.

I can largely agree with this sentiment, but you say before,

People who sit in lane 3 at 69mph are breaking the law and likely to cause an accident by forcing people to pass on the wrong side out of frustration (yes illegal but they will do it)…

If undercutting is the most unsafe thing for the person behind to do in the situation, then as your sentiment captures, the frustrated party undercutting are still in the wrong.

They are in the wrong because, they have failed to ‘always do the safest thing’ in the given situation.

3. Never be the reason someone else does something stupid on the road.

Nice sentiment again, but it implicitly assigns a rigid cause and effect regime to a situation where the ‘frustrated party’ behind has their own agency and likely as much training. There is no necessity that they undercut, it is a choice the party behind makes. The cause does not necessitate that effect, at best it could contribute.

In essence the sentiment shifts the blame from the person causing a potential accident (the undercutter), to the person ahead who, at worst, is causing poor traffic conditions.

Speed limit is the speed limit. End of.

If someone wants to go above the speed limit in the fast lane, then they’re contravening road rules.

No matter what social norm people believe there to be, it doesn’t have precedence over the speed limits.

In a case where the the car in front is going slower than the speed limit, it would be good etiquette though to move over.

The LA metro? Like, theres a passenger/commuter train in LA?

Pick, place looks good, cheers.

Ooh! The Kākā looks good. Shall be checking out.

I enjoy a podcast or two, and i only see a few here i know, so heres a few favourites that i didn’t see yet,

Battleground: Ukraine, podcast that was being started about historical battles at the same time as the march on Kyiv happened. They pivoted and have kept abrest of events weekly since then. Its been very valuable during times the rest of the media aren’t covering it.

Age of Napoleon, an all time favourite, Everett Rummage is a well researched unassuming host. His excursion into the history of Haiti and its ties to the Napoleonic era is some of the best podcast hours i’ve ever spent.

Philosophize This, Stephen West is the happiest podcaster in a state that most philosophers would refer to as alive. He has gone through so many philosophers from all ages and gives them all a fair go.

Capitalisn’t, Bethany Mclean and Luigi Zingales take an issue with the capital system today, interview an expert, and discuss.

Debunking Economics, Welcome to the mind of economist Steve Keen. The most heterodox economist kicking goals today. Slightly MMT but has some disagreements, and shines a new lense over the field of economics.

Dot Social, Interview Podcast for the fediverse curious. Don’t know if anybody here would be interested in that kind of thing though…

Rest is Politics UK/US, both UK and US ones are great. These political current affairs podcasts are hosted by former political insiders. Their insights are valuable, even if you disagree with them. The podcasts motto is “disagree agreeably”. Rory Stewart and Allastair Campbell’s discussion on the Iraq War was an extremely poignant and honest moment and is well worth listening.

Climate Deniers Playbook, Same guy from Climate Town on YouTube, but even more annoying because he’s right there in your ear holes telling you about all the ways Big Oil is going out of its way to fuck you, and specifically you, over.

The Tally Room, Ben Raue interviews a guest or two on Australasian elections. He analyses and discusses the electoral possibilities in upcoming elections, and historical electoral practices. This is not a politics podcast, its an election analysis podcast. Therefore he generally only strays into the policies of a certain party as it impacts on the electoral outcomes of the government area in question.

I hope theres some podcasts in there that interest people.

But what is America without US? /s

I’d rather chill in the spirit world. Maybe spend a few years lost in the fog of lost souls, go hang with Hei Bai, attack some rando’s cause someones been breakin trees, end most nights catching up on some reading at Wan Shi’s library. I’d avoid the face stealer, cause that ones a dick! Probably drop in on Iroh once in a while for an injection of wisdom in my life.

Spirit world is where its at.

I don’t really get the idea you’ve explained, but i’m sure its good. I’m generally excited at the prospects of less centralised internet, and so can’t wait to see projects like yours grow.

Flibboard is a social magazine thats jumping into federation. They’re doing a really uplifting podcast. Their conversations might help you clarify your idea. Or even just pump you up when your feeling less motivated.

I like it, i always leave it feeling excited and hopeful about the fediverse. Anyway heres a link, https://dot-social.simplecast.com/episodes/mike-masnick-cuZMZfe9

Sorry you’ve had to deal with those things.

Thats what Frodo said to Gaffer when he asked where he was going, “oh, just upshire.”

He didn’t trick old Proudfeet though, he knew Frodo was weavin porkies.

Oh cool, an Acme version! I didn’t imagine that!

Have you ever heard of de’beers diamond hoarding story. Thats like what i expect would happen to humanity if we gained the ability to live forever, ‘manufactured scarcity’.

A tumultuous time of oligarchic rule with infighting to control the life extending technology. Eventually ending in a winner take all dictatorship. The masses would never see their lives extended (greener pastures visions may be made in the beginning). In fact common peoples lifespans would likely shorten as the controlling elite no longer required the same sort of widespread healthcare present even at todays standards, (depending upon where you live).

The elite would form a supplicant circle around the eventual dictator who maintains control, drip feeding the life extending technology to those who serve their dictatorship best.

Within a couple generations they won’t be a dictator but our Monarch, and the common people will obey, and descend to a miserable condition.

I may have let my imagination loose today a bit…

What this user said.

Be the Post maker of your own subject. Sometimes i spend so long on aussiezone, (my local server, represent!!), i forget the rest of lemmy is there.

I get a pretty cold hard slap when i jump into a political chat and some of the more extreme lemmy elements are settin up camp. Those guys be crazy. And i’m here for it!!!

Habit is key.

OP if you have a relative interest in seeing a community function better do try to post more yourself.

Find some dnd sites, even if its the biggest most well known ones, and post things you find interesting from there. Use the ‘Body’ to add your own perspective.

Start small, maybe try to Post one article every Wednesday night, and one article every Sunday night. Once you start a habit you’ll naturally begin exploring forr new and interetsting resources.

I dunno, good luck! :)

Good illustrative example.

I’m always hesitant to assume growth will always reassert itself in the end though. You know the old saying, ‘past performance is not an indicator of future performance’, type thing. After all extinction is a thing.

Um, i suppose you could apply the effect of the black plague on middle ages europe.

Estimated to have killed 1/3 of all people. There was a subsequent rise in wages/worker bargaining power attributed to the lack of labour supply.

I suppose thats an example of rock bottom and coming back with some benefit.

I wouldn’t call it ‘bouncing’ back though, more like struggling on with a sliver of silver on those grey clouds. Not an adviseable course for a country to take.
