PentastarM@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who live in touristic areas, what are the rudest behaviours you've seen among tourists?English4·17 days agoNot tourist per se, but I live next to a large state university, and it’s either the college kids themselves or their families doing the stupid shit. It’s very wooded in my area while still being “suburbany”, so we get those people admiring the foliage in the fall.
In the winter when it snows, for a lot of the students and their families it’s their first time driving in it and it shows. I suppose I can cut them some slack for that though if they’ve never had to drive in it.
Anyway, it’s just mainly oblivious drivers, that are either attempting to find their way around so they drive extra slow or stop suddenly in the middle of the road, or the go ripping through the neighborhood because of the traffic on the main roads. Like, come on, there are kids playing and such, you can go 50mph through the neighborhoods around here with the number of kids playing. I’ve proposed multiple times for speed bumps in the neighborhoods around the university, but the council says “it will impede the flow of traffic” ?!? That’s the fucking point, morons! Ugh.
PentastarM@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Rev. William Barber arrested in Capitol Rotunda after praying against Republican-led budgetEnglish2·20 days agoOf course, I didn’t mean any disrespect or to suggest you thought that way yourself. ❤️
PentastarM@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Rev. William Barber arrested in Capitol Rotunda after praying against Republican-led budgetEnglish5·20 days agoThe verse you are thinking of is from the New Testament, Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”
Edit: While also not a biblical scholar, I don’t think this verse is condemning what the good Reverend is doing here, rather the overly pompous and egregious prayers and acts that some “christians” feel like they have to do to gather as much attention to themselves as possible. Case in point; any time I would go out to a restaurant with my parents, they would make a big show of bowing their heads and praying loudly over their food. Things we didn’t do at home growing up.

PentastarM@midwest.socialto Hardware@lemmy.world•Google announces 1st and 2nd gen Nest Thermostats will lose support in October 2025English1·24 days agoThat’s fair. And when people don’t want to put in any effort and “just want it to work” right out of the box, that opens the door for corporations to take advantage. Although I understand the desire to just “have it work”.
PentastarM@midwest.socialto Hardware@lemmy.world•Google announces 1st and 2nd gen Nest Thermostats will lose support in October 2025English103·24 days agoIoT held such promise back when it was first talked about. It’s disappointing that once again, capitalism ruined it, like everything else it touches.
