If someone doesn't wear a seatbelt and kills another person as a result who is wearing a seatbelt could that person face a manslaughter charge?
  • I'm sorry, but this kind of logic just baffles me. Are you talking out of your ass on this one? If you're driving and I'll jump onto the road right in front of you, will you still be at fault? Where in the world would that be the case? If I come to a factory and stick my hand into a wood chipper that someone was operating and then say "whoever the hell was operating this 5 thousand pound hunk of steel should be at fault now!", would I be correct in my logic?

    Think about it this way - if you hadn't been there driving would they have been fine? If so, you caused it, you're at fault

    This is next level mental gymnastics. If someone robbed you, think about it this way - if you hadn't been there, none of it would have happened. So maybe you're at fault after all

  • dear introverts, what can I answer to a needy and clingy coworker who believes not talking means something's wrong (with me), so he leaves me alone?
  • Here's my take. OP is a girl working at Subway, both her and the guy are 16. The guy is romantically interested, tries to get her attention, does so awkwardly. OP is not interested, tries to excuse it as "being an introvert". Course of action - say you're not interested and move on. In case I'm wrong, disregard this comment.

  • My First Post on Lemmy
  • you won't be banned from say .world for saying the Chinese government is a problem

    Because this is literally their agenda. Try saying anything relatively positive or neutral about any of those countries on .world and see how "non-authoritarian" they are

  • creating a memorable experience
  • We're on the same boat. The meme is very ambiguous, but it roughly means that something happens seemingly without a reason, i.e. the author doesn't understand why something is the way it is

  • Thanks for the $2500 a month living expenses mom and dad.
  • The thing is, you want to stay alive. You just want someone to sort everything in your life so you can be happy and carefree, because you think it's an option. For some people it surely is, but for most of us it isn't. This gives us false hope.

    Life is all we have really, and when it's time to die, we'll wish we had more time. And even when life is unbearable, everyone would choose to continue living if they could just make the pain go away.

    So, in itself, life is a gift. It's just our expectations that make life hard (unless you're literally starving or being tortured/abused on daily basis). Maybe it's just me coping, though. I understand where you're coming from and I also found the op meme funny. We'll get there eventually, friend.

  • It did hurt, actually
  • As a duckduckgo user myself, I haven't noticed any striking differences between the two. Can you explain why it's better? I know google uses AI responses nowadays, but you can just ignore these, no?

  • How do I stop a 'planned future' from blindly determining my life's path?
  • It's very easy to ruin your life while it's much harder to get it straight. I think the whole "you can be anything you want to be" mentality is very idealistic and a product of survivorship bias. It shouldn't stop you from trying by any means, just something to keep in mind.

  • Fairphone releases a Fairphone 5 with 6gb RAM and 128gb storage for €150 less
  • And here I am, using my chinese phone with 8gb of ram (+8 gb of virtual ram), 128gb of storage, a nice camera and a headphone jack that I bought for $150 three years ago. Works perfectly. I thought fairphone at least comes with root access out of the box, which it apparently doesn't.

  • What's the worst video game you've ever played?
  • Flatout 3. I just checked on steam, and it's tagged as "psychological horror". Being a fan of the first one, and still having spent lots of hours playing the second one, I was totally not prepared for the utter monstrosity of the third one
