Fuel? I’m honestly surprised two-wheelers in India haven’t been completely been overtaken by electrics, at least outside of the modern traffic infrastructure of Mumbai. I’ve only been there a few times but so much of what I saw (mostly in Thiruvananthapuram) was urban design where the high speed and power of a motorbike wouldn’t be very useful (at least as a solo rider not carrying a heavy load like a passenger or anything) - slow, cramped, chaotic traffic on dusty zig-zagging roads.

It’s not as funny when stripped from the context that the comic was drawn 5 years ago.

This is !ADHD@lemmy.world, I kind of figured people would join this sub after a diagnosis.

Fair point, but that means the ban should be coming from Department of Commerce, not the DoD.

Don’t try to come up with bullshit excuses about espionage.

“We’re banning these private-business Chinese websites because China bans our private-business websites and that’s anti-competitive”.

for everybody reading this who haven’t tried them already:

The meds help a lot. Stop overthinking it and just get the meds.

I’m not sure how this is misogynistic. If you swap the genders of everybody involved, it would still be fun.

Let’s imagine a crazy hypothetical: It’s Alternate Reality 1993. Margaret Thatcher retains control of the UK government, having won the leadership election in 1990, but has become increasingly unhinged from her long rule and is now publicly proposing reabsorbing Upper and Lower Canada back into the UK and is relentlessly mocking then-Canadian-PM Kim Campbell about it.

Canada-UK relations are hopelessly soured.

And also there are incessant rumours about the Iron Lady having sexual fantasies about her son Mark.

And, in the winter of Alternate Reality 1993, ousted former-PM Kim Campbell (known political foe of Margaret Thatcher), has a public and torrid affair with Sir Mark Thatcher, making neo-imperialist Margaret Thatcher furious.

That would be hilarious.

Exactly. Which means he’s free. Free to cause whatever mayhem he likes without worrying about losing an election.

Personally I’d never want to see him screw up a happy family with young kids though.

That’s why he should boink Melania, not Ivanka. Also she’s actually Trudeau’s age.

Does anybody actually want one of these things?

No.

Trump’s wife.

I’ve never seen the Legion Go irl but the old one looked like the touchpad was just the right size too be unobtrusive but still practical. The new one looks like a thumb print reader.

Toronto Star is now Globe and Mail, Globe and Mail is now National Post, National Post is now Toronto Sun, Toronto Sun is now Infowars, and Infowars is now The Onion.

“this hour” new year special was actually pretty good except that the Poilievre bit dragged on far too long.

Trudeau’s interview was excellent, given the constraints that a PM is under.

Jujitsu with Jagmeet was fun too.

I’ve never heard “I’m sorry Jon” called gorefield before.

Wait they’re still there? How the hell are they still there?

And thanks to the AI customers you can’t afford it anyways.

Yeah, likewise. I’m upset about the terrorism of Hezbollah or Hamas, but Israel has quite obviously decided that two wrongs make a right and so is using this nightmare as an excuse to land-grab and settle scores, and the civilians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon are suffering for it.

Right now I could go create 30 sock puppet accounts to respond to this. Is that really a good thing?

Let government offer the service of “here is a way any human can certifiably identify themselves online” and let people decide what providers they want to give that info to.

If you want to use or run anonymous social media, that’s fine.

I don’t.

I know a lot of people are cranky about digital IDs, but realistically there’s no avoiding it at this point: we need real, government-backed, links-to-a-specific-human-with-a-birth-certificate unique digital IDs. Then service providers can (optionally) demand it in order to register, and can prevent you from creating multiple accounts, and can ban you from their service permanently, and can vouch for you to other services that you are indeed a Real Unique Human Being.
