Just passin’ through
None of these abaolve the driver of the responsibility of operating heavy machinery. All of the things you said are teue; that does not chamge the fact the driver was frossly negligent. Just because the responsibility cannot solely be placed on the driver does not mean they should face zero consequences, repercussions, and not have to accept any responsibility for their actions.
yes there are systemic failing and corruption that needs to be addressed, and to go further the punitive system of justice is ineffective and should be replaced with more community oriented rehabilitative solutions.
that does not change the fact that gross negligence occurred and cost a father his child. even in a different framework with different transportation, such blatant and offensive negligence would still require the perpetrator to take accountability and face consequences for their actions that have resulted in a dead child. under the current system with the current legislative and transpotation frameworks this person recklessly endangered people to the most serious degree and is being let off scott free
he wasn’t paying attention for twenty seconds. if it was yellow and he sped through it while it turned maybe that argument could hold some weight, but not paying attention to the road is gross negligence while operating heavy machinery.
and if everyone who asks that question has that mindset then we end up with no answers longterm.
its annoying to scroll through 15 threads asking the same thing looking for an answer, but its infinitely worse to find no threads related to what you’re trying to do.
im not a marxist-leninist but this is a pretty braindead take

a lot of indigenous cultures have really interesting cultural perspectives on gender. i think id enjoy traveling and connecting with people all over the world and immortalizing their stories in me
It’s gonna be tough being a queer POC but I’d probably just be a sidequest queen and travel the world doing random shit, trying not to stay in the same place for too long and not return until i can reasonably claim to be my own child
Im assuiming doctor who rules where just dont interact with yourself
well then say away from soju because the right brands are basically alcoholic juice. same with the barefoot red moscato.
If you like coffee espresso martinis are dangerously delicioud. the one’s at Mother Hubbard’s are quite good despite being boxed espresso
I love my team and the people I work with; they’re awesome and why I’ve stayed at my current company (and yes my manager and ever his manager are included in this).
I hate that they’re shoving AI down our throats and is the primary reason I will be searching for a new job once I finish my degree.
Speak softly, but carry a big stick.
A 9mm would be preferred at least.
I probably have a lot more interactions with houseless people due to my demographic (queer, genderqueer, poc, smoker) so i often get stopped by someonr asking for a cigarette or mutual aid.
these are all very reasonable takes, although as a smoker i definitely prefer the electric divvy bikes so im not complaining on that last one xD
And i don’t really mean that everyone needs to smoke on the train to have an opinion on the CTA, but its situations like that where you can really talk to people and get to know them. and houseless people are some of the coolest and nicest people if you just give them a chance. it just really pissed me off that the original person i was replying to acted like houseless people staying as safe and warm as they can is a detriment to the CTA. thats some surburban ass shit
it’s perfect because of the crackheads. when the government has failed you at every step, at least you know theres a warm place that’ll take you anywhere in the city that you need to go. it’s a public service that truly serves the entire community as equitably and fairly as it can (not to say that infrastructure investments are distributed equitably though). trains really are the solution for all of humanity’s problems.
if you’ve never smoked a joint at 3 am with houseless people on the L then i don’t particularly care about your opinion on the CTA.
Yes and no.
Yes becuse our new C-suites are pushing it heavily and my boss (who only cares that we use AI as much as we need to not draw ire) has warned AI usage is a tracked metric that may be used for perfamnce reviews, bonuses, promotions, and raises.
No because I know my immediate chain of command does not fully believe in AI or are skeptics, and when the bubble bursts the price per token is going to slyrocket. Suddenly minimal AI usage as a tracked metric will probably look pretty good.
Either way once I’ve finished up certain things I intend to look for a new job. I love my team but I fear the writing is on the wall, and even if they try to reverse course I’m skeptical that the company will be able to.
Slight correction: the contemporaneous usage of the word lesbian in the queer community does not specifically say it is wlw, but that it is femme/non-masculine attraction to femininity/non-masculinity. In that sense it may be more closely aligned with being sapphic than strictly wlw.
In the Global North it could only happen in America; in thr global south these sorts of atrocities are unfortunately not uncommon specifically because of the Global North. Just because Europeans don’t do it at home doesn’t mean they don’t do it.
if you think that not paying attention to the road and a light at an intersection you’re driving through at 47 km/h is normal then you need your license revoked. Missing a traffic signal once is missing a speed limit sign, its missing an exit, its accidentally parking on the wrong side of the road during street cleaning. It is not barreling through an intersection at full speed and not even braking until after you’ve already impacted something. This was not “one mistake” this was an intentional decision (distracted driving is not accodental) that has led to the death of a small child.
