Huh… I didn’t realize that existential ennui was so highly correlated with ADHD.

Add my data point to the statistical set, I guess… 😬

BluesF,

I think at the moment it’s highly correlated with reading the news

RememberTheApollo,

…and we read all the news but don’t finish the articles.

You should be using all lanes of traffic, and zipper merge at the end.

The main problem with zipper merges in practice are selfish people who rush to zipper and cause even more congestion because of their erratic attempt to merge. Like traffic circles they work great when everyone is doing it right and they cam get really messed up when people do it wrong.

It would be great if zipper merging was taught as part of getting a license. Or they actually required someone to learn how to zipper merge as part of their license renewal.

Nougat,

Do you mean "rush to zipper" as in "using an open lane to move forward and then zipper merge into the remaining lane when that one closes?" That is precisely what you should do.

The problem is the selfish people who refuse to let those people actually zipper merge, like OP.

@Nougat
It’s hard to discuss zipper merging because people use to justify all sorts of dick behavior. Zipping through an empty left turn only lane to skip to the head of a right turn only lane for example. That’s not an example of zipper merging but there’s tons of people who I’ve seen argue that’s acceptable behavior.

Nougat,

That’s not an example of zipper merging but there’s tons of people who I’ve seen argue that’s acceptable behavior.

We agree that that's not what we're talking about, and those people are wrong. That wasn't hard at all.

I think it is similar to when lanes merge. Better to stay in lane and then do zipper method.

If lane is open, cars will speed up until they reach merged/closed lane…

What do y’all say?

ryathal,

States that mandate signs about lane closures being really far out claim it makes traffic flow better. In my experience it just makes traffic stop in a different spot and is likely worse than zipper merges.

@snooggums@kbin.social avatar

My state just recently started posting signs to keep using both lanes so people wouldn't go to one lane far too early. It was nice to be able to zipper merge without people pushing back.

Oh man.

Quark is absolutely backwards: Quark believes he has no dignity and is a heartless profiteer. He turns out he is an empathetic lovable guy with dignity.

You got here about 30 seconds too early for a part of it, although I don’t link to the other site. I’ve been putting the sources in all comics I post since I noticed you doing it, simply because its respectful to the artist. I’ve got most artists sources saved in my clipboard ready to go but I post a bunch all in one so it usually takes me a minute or two to get back to the post and edit in the sources. Just for future reference to make it a bit easier on you.

But thank you, seriously. Your doing amazing work and I thank you so much for being as awesome as you are <3

LazaroFilm,
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed. I could seriously do without the Reddit link.

Crul,

My bad, you had already explained it to me :/.
I miss the user-tags feature from RES.

Thanks for the efforts!

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

Of course! There are a lot of users and a lot of posts. I don’t expect everyone to remember everything, you’re fine! I also do miss the usertags though. That shit was vital and I’m dying without it. Me? Having to use my memory that forgets to do laundry? Not going well.

Crul, (edited )

FYI: there is a not-very-convenient way of tagging users, with addons like Stylus. You can change the username style and even add some text after it:


<span style="color:#323232;">a[href$="/u/Stamets@startrek.website"] {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    background-color: purple !important;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    color: white !important;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    padding: 0 4px;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    border-radius: 3px;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">a[href$="/u/Stamets@startrek.website"]::after {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    content: "- does post sources! :)";
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

But you need to edit the CSS every time you want to add or change something.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

Interesting. I don’t mind fucking with the CSS that frequently. I am not good at it but I do sorta like it. Feels like a puzzle. I’m gonna have to look into that. Thank you very much!

Also considering how much I post and what i’m recognized for, being tagged as ‘Does posts sources’ is the biggest honor I could be given. Thank you so much 💙

Crul,

is the biggest honor I could be given.

I’m using mlmym right now, but its development has been very slow, so I may switch in the future.

Please remove the Reddit link. If you really want to, just write the name of the sub but we don’t need to redirect traffic to Reddit.

Crul,

I understand your point, but I prefer to leave it, unless a mod (cc @lawrence) says otherwise.

LazaroFilm,
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.world avatar

Given the downvotes you’re getting, I’d say you’re at odds with the majority.

Crul,

I’m ok with that :).

Long answer: IMHO reddit is still much-less-bad than twitter-facebook-instagram. At least reddit has native RSS feeds. If I stop including reddit as a source, I should also top including the others, and I feel that would be, in some sense, punishing the artists, who are not al fault about the social networks sins.

LazaroFilm,
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.world avatar

Well let’s agree to disagree. The whole reason I’m here is because I left Reddit after they stopped 3rd party apps. Fuck Spez, fuck Reddit and as for Facebook and X I don’t even look at them.

We don’t have an Isekai genre. We have an Other World subgenre of fantasy that Japan made another name for and weebs apply to everything similar.

If a zombie apocalypse ever happens

I won’t be worrying about the zombies … I’ll be in more danger from other healthy people who will all be going bat shit insane and want to kill me, the neighbor and everyone else around for food and supplies because they all want to live five minutes longer than me.

In the end the survivors will probably kill more survivors than the zombies will.

Exactly, I’ve spent my entire existence doing the right thing, the second it hits the fan I plan on going the Dexter route and letting loose and taking down the crazies.
