employers are permitted to require staff to work up to two unpaid hours per day for a limited period in return for more free time.

Wow.

A few times as a kid I had to take a taxi alone. I knew the way home, but the driver decided to make a lot of unnecessary turns and go this round about way to run up the fair. I was probably in 3rd grade and knew what he was doing but didn't have the guts to call him out.

The leftist position looks more like the centrist pov to me.

Dedicated cycle for pedestrians, all way crossing so they can cross diagonally too. It separates cars and pedestrians completely.

Being too ashamed to tell people I couldn't swim as a kid in situations that seriously could have ended in me drowning.

Pedestrian scramble is probably more appropriate than banning right on red, and is proven to greatly reduce accidents. No need to have cars sitting idling longer than needed and adding to congestion. Ive also worked in a downtown area where pedestrian traffic could get so heavy cars couldn't turn right on green.

I don't know what book that was or what metrics its using, but my local intersections could easily pass 3x the current number of cars per green light if they accelerated together, and right away.

The number of people who poorly merge and cause traffic shockwaves, how slow cars drive in the fast lane, the accidents caused by human error. Really curious how they came to that 75% number.

I liked it. Unfortunately aside from valve, no serious studio has put any resources into making a good vr game.

Sitting games could be big on vr. Flight/space sims could be awesome.

Kind of a nice message but I don't like that this reinforces expectations that going to a barber shop run by a different race is "strange".

I Googled some extremely invasive weed(creeping buttercup) and Google suggested to let it be, quoting some awful reddit comment.

Can't remember the last time I saw a banana slug or any other large varieties. Used to see them all the time in the PNW.

It's distasteful to mention what technology you used

Why?

Driving a smaller SUV and the number of vehicles whos headlight are at my eye level really sucks. There's also some study out there about the unnecessary raised hood that does nothing but increase fatalities and lowers visibility of the 10 meters directly in front of the vehicle.

Do Israeli institutions not have mechanisms to dismiss officials who vocalize rhetoric like this?

Don't disagree but surely it's not impossible to add some regulations to protect the consumers here.

People who spend 8 hours a day or more commenting on Lemmy shouldn't be moderators. I think they have an unhealthy perspective on life and it shows.

Nearly starving is almost an impossible to do involuntary in the United States, so that's poor criterion to use here.

But yes I know many people who fit the description, who go on trips, buy cars, expensive clothes to improve their image, when they don't have the income nor the savings to support it.
