Careful, sounds like you're slipping into the old racist "noble savage" trope. Remember why Biden got backlash for telling someone "you ain't black" because he had reservations about voting for the democrats?

Hope do you know the people protesting today were criticizing the pro Palestinian protesters? What if the same people protesting today were also protesting then?

What if they don't have a better alternative? Is there a rule against pointing out problems without immediately having a solution?

I'm pretty sure this is what they're getting at. You could be less abrasive, but the way.

That's fair. Sorry I was being confrontational, I've been a little stressed out lately.

Huh? I said they're somewhat common in rural areas. Pavement princesses are also common in rural areas. But I also see bull bars on Jeeps, SUVs, etc. so I wouldn't automatically associate them with the pavement princess crowd.

You mention ranchers and police, but didn't mention anything about large wildlife which is what this thread is about. Not sure what pedestrian safety has to do with it, but it think it's obvious from looking at them that a plastic bumper would hurt less.

Heh yeah I can see the resemblance

Not entirely true... If you write libraries for other developers you can use them as beta testers. Your customers have a production environment, but you don't. At least, that's what one of our vendors seems to think...

This is why bullbars are somewhat common in rural areas. More for deer than bears, though. And you're more likely to crack your radiator than have a total loss, unless you keep driving with a leaking radiator of course...

In what way do you think that's relevant to the article in the OOP?

Huh? A priest did a nazi solute and was exiled for it. Refusing to give them credit for doing the right thing just makes you look bad. This is Lemmy, everyone here knows how bad the church can be.

That doesn't explain why the new bikes have older technology than the bikes they're urging people to trade in.
