What movie is this from?

Edit: Oh yeah, it reminds me of that bit in Dead Poet’s Society

Isn’t the When We Were Young festival just 90s reenactment?

That having a better education is directly tied to income levels, so talking down to ‘idiots’ is actually some bougie bullshit.

Theres a pain joke in there somewhere

The first? Wasn’t LOIC open souce?

Can confirm, it’s still visible on lemmy, but it’s collapsed on my piefed alt

Oh, I’m not the thorn guy, he just doesn’t bother me like the conformists want so I’m catching strays, haha

Oregon also has roadkill salvage permits available!

Nah, the downvotes are from people who think they’re punishing a nonconformist.

But no one is finding roadkill and saying “oh man, I gotta get in on that”

Fun fact, there was enough public outcry in '16 for the state of Washington to amend it’s laws and make it legal to harvest roadkill for food.

Dangit, I thought the internet was where nobody would know I was a dog

Without the voice inflection and body language of personal communication these are easily misinterpreted. A sideways smile, :-), has become widely accepted on the net as an indication that “I’m only kidding”. If you submit a satiric item without this symbol, no matter how obvious the satire is to you, do not be surprised if people take it seriously.

Sort of? I used to have a regular bicycle, but the route with the least grade is also the truck route with no shoulders on parts of it. I quit biking after I got run off the road by a semi, so I think the main problem is just a lack of infrastructure.

You’re not wrong. It’s also not helped that they look for any excuse to cut service, like they cut service during the '08 crash, took nearly a decade to bring it back to something close to what it was, only for it to get cut back even farther during COVID. There used to be a bus between the train station and the bus station, but that got cut back in '17 for unknown reasons. Heaven forbid they actually help people with their public service.

They say they don’t want to expand the lines because nobody rides it, but that’s only because their timetables and routes are shit. The first bus goes by my neighborhood at 6:30a and it’s always packed to standing with people who start work at 9am. But I guess people being willing to stand on a bus going 50mph is “nobody”.

PNW sadly enough. The fuckin neolibs running the area are using public transit to virtue signal how green they are without actually spending the money to make it actually effective. Gotta look good, so there’s multiple 15min bus lines, but it only covers a couple square miles, so nobody wants to pay the $2 when they could just walk.

Yeah, I have to spend two hours on the bus when it takes half an hour to drive downtown. They have great bus service if you’re within walking distance of the downtown area, but until earlier this year the last bus home left the station at 4p. Now the last bus home leaves at 6p.

I haven’t owned a car in a while, and I cannot even find a job because employers don’t want to work around the useless bus schedule.

Poppy seeds do it for me too

With how hospitals in the US can be, a lot of emergency rooms are too small and if they run out of beds, you just get to sit in the hall. It’d be nice if they gave you a discount for that.

It’s clearly not something a MAGA on Lemmy would post in response to a news article critical of Trump

I see you’ve not met my uncle.
