  • It's been a rough road with fitness this year. Sprained my wrist which took me out of action for quite a while and then went away. Came back and could barely stand after my first gym session. This week I did almost my full routine again and could feel that my body has mostly re adapted so I'm officially back on the gym train! Feels great and can't wait to start making progress again.

  • Day is almost over here. We had a pretty lazy day sleeping in. I went on a coffee run so my wife could have coffee in bed, we walked the dog and then been chilling. I'm playing some Stalker 2 which is pretty fun.

  • If I see someone in the right turning lane with their right indicator on, I assume they are about to turn right.

    If I see someone in the right turning lane but they have their left indicator on, I assume they want to leave the turning lane.

    If I see someone in the right turning lane without their indicator on, I assume they are probably going to turn right but they may have made a mistake or changed their mind, so I'm more cautious if I'm passing or try to leave room for them to get out if appropriate. This is the most annoying situation for me because I have less information to guess what they might do next.

  • No due process means they can do whatever they want and nobody can stop them. Doesn't matter if you're there legally, are a citizen, whatever. You're not going to have an opportunity to make your case. That said, even when a judge does order them to stop a deportation it seems like they just do it anyway.

  • Sorry, I'm probably missing something because I don't see how that would help if the government is not open to feedback. As a concrete example let's say you strongly oppose the anti secession law from 2005 and believes it should be abolished or reworked entirely. Is there an avenue for working towards bringing about such a radical policy change within the government as a citizen?

    Suggestion: Remove bias rating from media bias bot

    Introduction

    Firstly, although the tone of this post may be somewhat critical I want to say that I do appreciate the thought behind creating the bot and the work that has gone into it. The idea of being more aware of media bias in the news we consume is a good one and I commend the folks who actively took a step to try and advance that cause. However, I believe that unfortunately the current solution might have the opposite effect.

    Suggestion

    My suggestion is to keep the factuality and trustworthiness ratings of the bot as while they are still somewhat problematic, they can at least be more objectively assessed and sourced. The bias rating, however, has two pretty major problems as far as I can see.

    Reason One - Inconsistent Definitions

    Left and right do not have consistent definitions to everyone, particularly in different regions. Something considered left in the US for example might be considered centre or right in other parts of the world. This means that people
