    Gradually. You don’t have to get all your friends off Meta right now. Maybe some of them will, and they might push their friends to ditch meta as well.

    Just keep trying. But totally alienating your friends also won’t do much good for the whole perception of the movement. Becomes a lot easier to just think of that weird guy who won’t talk to us anymore because of some app, rather than what it’s actually about.

    I feel like I worded that really badly, but I hope my point comes across.

    I’m all for getting off anything meta, but come on. Someone not wanting to move to a chat service that’s probably less convenient for them does not make them a “so called ‘friend’” lmao.

    If you’re actually losing friends over this, that’s quite sad.







  • Nothing crazy really. I ride the train that’s also a connection to one of the biggest asylum centres for immigrants, so of course, because foreign people scary, there’s loads of extra security.

    The only few times I’ve actually seen something they were needed for, it was never the immigrants. Once I saw a white guy wailing on someone who looked foreign, took a good while for security to actually step in and do something.

    A different time, some guy was just being a nuisance and didn’t want to get on or off the train or something. Two of these security people got involved, both a lot bigger than the guy, but they struggled a lot to get him down and cuffed. The guy almost got up and fled a few times.

    So that got me really feeling confident in this security… (/s of course)

    You’re not quickly getting your car out of the way of someone else if you’re fully stopped. Most of them don’t accelerate nearly fast enough for that. Besides, pretty sure I would just stall the car if I tried evading someone quickly while probably slightly panicked.

    You don’t do an evasive manoeuvre for emergency vehicles. You should hear and see them coming from quite a distance. You just scoot over in a regular way.
