  • I always signal out of roundabouts, but never on. Legally I'm supposed to signal in but that makes no sense to me because of course I'm going to be entering the roundabout, there is never another option.

  • Violence

  • violence is never the solution, but it works in a pinch for sure : )

    Of course the solution to peace is not having war, but if someone attacks you, don't just stand there and do nothing.

  • I can cook just fine, but I really prefer baking. With cooking you have to make sure you are there watching it the whole time. I love how with baking I can just mix it up in a bowl, pour it in a pan, and cook it for an hour in the oven.

    I don't know what value my comments adds to this discussion, just wanted to share my love of baking ig.

  • I feel there is no good reason to artificially limit your number of romantic/sexual partners to 1. I do, however, think there are good reasons for monogamy such as lowering risk of STDs or if you don't have the mental capacity to care for two partners. However, if you can make it work, I don't see any issue with polyamory.

  • Personally I'd never encourage suicide, but I also don't think its morally wrong, and I think it is morally wrong to stop it by force. At the end of the day, people have bodily autonomy, no matter how tragically they use it.

  • I would say that capitalism does seem like paradise, but as soon as you think even slightly deeper it's terrible. Sure it's great for everyone to be able to choose where to work or not work, and to have many different options on what to buy, but it falls apart rather quick. People often don't have much of a choice of where to work and they are forced to participate in capitalism to survive, which means abusive employers run rampant. And as far as product choice, it seems great, but with infinite growth we will run out of resources to continue.

    Could Trump's "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation" order defund vasectomies?

    I read the section two definition of "chemical and surgical mutilation" and it mentions altering sex organs to remove their biological functions. One of the biological functions of a penis is to produce sperm. So could this mean no more federal coverage for vasectomies as well as stuff like tubal litigation or hysterectomies? And yes, I know that people under 19 don't usually get permanent sterilization procedures anyways, but I still wonder about this interpretation.

    The phrase “chemical and surgical mutilation” means the use of puberty blockers, including GnRH agonists and other interventions, to delay the onset or progression of normally timed puberty in an individual who does not identify as his or her sex; the use of sex hormones, such as androgen blockers, estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, to align an individual’s physical appearance with an identity that

    Why do people always prefix every food I make with "vegan"?

    It's a bit obnoxious. I make this excellent chili for family gatherings and nobody ever calls it just "chili". They always say "vegan chili".

    The other day I made some pumpkin bread. When me and my dad went over to my grandmas house, we brought it. My dad announced "She made some vegan pumpkin bread!". Grandma knows I am vegan. So of course if I made it, it will be vegan, no need to state that.

    I know this is a really stupid pet peeve that will probably get me downvoted to oblivion, but idk. Maybe someone here also gets it.

    Can someone give me an overview on the Jill Stein situation?

    I have never heard of Jill Stein until just a few months ago when I saw some article about her on the Lemmy homepage. Then I saw more and more articles about her. However, I don't really know why the media is paying so much attention to her. She is just a third party candidate, right? There are other third party candidates that aren't constantly popping up in the news. So why Jill Stein? I hear its something to do with Russia and a general sense of her goal being to take votes away from Kamala.

    Do drivers in the USA have to yield to alien UFO's?

    If I am driving on a road, and a flying saucer with a spotlight is hovering ahead waiting to land, do I have to stop in the roadway and yield to them? Or do they have to yield to cars in the road? I checked my states driving manual and they don't mention alien air/spacecraft at all.

    I would guess that the UFO would have the right of way, as traffic would have to eventually stop for them anyways. Should I just stop in the roadway and put my hazards on so the flying saucer pilot is aware I am yielding the right of way to them?
