The juice and alcohol would barely fit in the carts

Move furniture frequently, do have a physical disability, pets, kids. Not feasible without a car. Using taxis all the time would be a fortune and kinda defeats the purpose, no?

What a pathetic loser you are.

wtf are you talking about. It’s not plastic and can’t be moved without a car. Anyway, enough of your inane pish I think. Goodbye.

I’m not fat you thick cunt I have kids, friends and family who I’m often bringing stuff in for. Sorry that this isn’t a problem in your life. Enjoy the microwave meal for one.

Are you single? Food shop with a family is not feasible with the weather and roads here. Vegan too so a lot bulkier. Tins, bottles of juice, fruit and veg, dog food, etc. it barely fits in the car.

Move furniture about all the time, last week I took my garden furniture to my SILs for a party she is having.

Away doing something most weekends yes, kids demand it. Can’t exactly put the pram on a bike either so even with great public transport the weather makes doing anything without shelter unpractical.

Heavier or more awkward than you can comfortably carry. Weekly/monthly food shop, furniture, weekend getaways, etc.

Well yes that is what I was referencing. That is how many people use them; out at restaurants, public places, at friends, etc. Often they are watching TV on them anyway.

But outwith that they have a whole host of problems even when used correctly and little upside. Autoplay, bright colors, fast-paced and visually rich interfaces. Locked in 20cm from the screen. Instead of learning to entertain yourself quietly. Engaging with your other senses.

Exception is well developed education apps for cognitive impairments, developmental delays, etc where the crazy engagement the design envokes can be useful.

It’s not a feature that’s implemented, just an idea. I did see something similar floating around as a proposal last year though

Been on Reddit since the digg migration, ran a few big subs at various points. It’s unusable now. Automod filters silently remove so much. So many people speaking into a void. Mods are increasingly ban happy. Lifetime bans from the default subs for daring to question Israel with facts, or calling someone thick as fuck. My last account got nuked for making a guillotine joke.

Fake news and conservative misinformation subs are rampant, creating a mainstream pipeline for the general public into all this delusional shite. They are a major contributor to the current algorithmically induced psychosis epidemic tearing apart society.

Lemmy is good now, agreed. Same flawed moderation system however. At least it’s a bit more transparent here usually and communities are a bit more decentralised. Maybe moving away from individual communities to something like combined feeds (ie subscribe to @uk and you see all uk communities) could help mitigate any one community gaining dominance.

Unless you’re transporting anything of a decent size which most people do frequently.

Not practical to have zero cars. Residential areas aren’t set up for it. How you going to get your shopping in with 2 kids when it’s pissing of rain like it is 70% of the time here in Scotland.

Priority should be public transport with cheap public autonomous taxis that can drive 24/7 and unclutter the streets.

Summary

Idaho teacher Sarah Inama is defying her school district’s order to remove classroom posters promoting inclusivity, including one stating, "Everyone is welcome here."

The district claims the signs violate a policy requiring "content-neutral" decorations and argues that classrooms should be "distraction-free" environments.

Inama initially removed them but later rehung them, arguing the only opposing view to inclusion is exclusion.

Legal counsel upheld the district’s stance, giving her until the school year’s end to comply. Inama refuses, risking her job, and has received widespread support from the community and educators nationwide.

The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials Friday over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the 10-day blocking of its journalists.

Summary

Fox News and Newsmax joined 40 news organizations in signing a letter urging the Trump administration to lift its ban on the Associated Press (AP) from White House events.

The ban stems from AP's refusal to adopt the term "Gulf of America" instead of "Gulf of Mexico," following a Trump executive order.

Newsmax defended AP’s First Amendment rights despite ideological differences.

The White House Correspondents’ Association and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press also protested the ban, but Trump remains firm, calling AP a "radical left organization."
