I thought I was a weird choice to open for him, given I give psychology lectures for a living, but I made the decision not to open for Ed Sheeran following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.

I am a traditional lecturer who never saw myself presenting to stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on me. I have not been friends with Ed for over 10 years and will continue not to be. I believe in dialogue as a means of processing the plight of the Palestinian people.

    Glad you see this; Ed Sheeran is a coward, but Kraft is the real pro-genocide asshole forcing this whole situation. Nobody should own as much as the Epstein Class does, but they do and they flex that power.

    Funny I've known how much it was asshole Kraft was before I was even class conscious. Why? My dad hates the cheating Patriots and did a deep dive on this guy. Truly a piece of shit, even if not as powerful as say, the Koch brothers.

    Well, obviously it is based on Linux. What, you don't want root access to your holodeck?

    At least you don't need a Meta account to access the holodeck!

    Oh! Edit! That's the Ferengi model!

    Lots of good comments here. My favorite is parenting vs childfree groups. I've literally seen the communities back to back on my feed. It's mostly funny to me, a parent, because I agree with both communities and they aren't actually in opposition.

    Second favorite are those guys who are all "THIS IS NOT A MEME GTFO" when someone posts a twit or tumbler post or what have you. Lol

    Where I am, it's taught you're actually supposed to favor your driver side alignment. There's a couple of reasons:

    1. It's safer for parked cars and the odds of someone hopping into the lane (via car door or from around it) make pedestrian danger real. Same for bike lanes. Those on the passenger side are always more vulnerable on city streets.

    2. You inherently have more control over the driver's side than the passenger side; same reason you're also supposed to pass slower vehicles on that side (trucks can see you better on their drivers side, although I feel like they mostly drive with mirrors for that).

    Unofficially there's also: 3. Some intersections have an unspoken rule that you can allow right turners a lane if everyone favors the driver side line. It's typically a parking lane that ends, so it's not always as wide as you'd like. I'm not 100% on its legality, though.

    Plus, let's be honest, nobody can be pure center. Luckily it mostly doesn't matter unless the roads gets really narrow; most highways in the US at least are wide enough where it barely matters where the fuck you are in your lane... although some pickups eat up that whole lane anyway nowadays so who knows, lol.

    Edit: oh and the next generation might be screwed. My little sister who's ten years younger just lets her car's lane detection steer her wheel. Her car just fucking bounces from left to right to left like a game of pong. Absolutely maddening!

    Need more than that, and everywhere. There was a death literally outside my building just a couple months ago from a hit and run. 13 year old boy on an e-scooter obeying the law saying you can't be on the side wall with it. We even heard the whole thing, including the mother's cry seeing the body.

    All up and down this Blvd, there are memorials to victims of hit and runs. It's disgusting the best LA is willing to do is amp up police presence, especially since this is a low income neighborhood.
