What is this Facebook cancer?

[–] Lath@kbin.social 56 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Apparently if you forgive it, the cancer will be healed.

That cancer's name? Albert Einstein.

Dont forget that everybody in the room also got 1000 dollars!

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But every dollar had cancer.

[–] Kuvwert@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The parents eat a small part of him every year.

Press X for doubt.

[–] SnipingNinja 4 points 7 months ago

Well, it's on X, so it's all doubt

How did you screenshot a dirty screen?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

And they saved a image that is mostly text as a jpeg instead of a png. That's two crimes.

Cool parents.

Terrible driving instructor. /s

Considering how so many motorcyclists drive, and the fact that the parents forgave the student, I'm going to guess that what really happened is that the motorcyclist killed himself by driving recklessly.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Fuck off.

[–] sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's a massive and unnecessary assumption. We have no real information, so let's not act like we do.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social -5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you've never driven on a highway where there have been motorcycles present. Or you are a motorcyclist who doesn't like to acknowledge that many of your fellow riders don't follow traffic laws very well.

[–] sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Believe me, I am very aware of how many motorcyclists drive recklessly. My point is that we do not have enough information to really determine anything. I'm not going to just assume that based on what I've seen some other people do, especially when I have absolutely nothing to gain by doing so.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social -4 points 7 months ago

That's fair. But I did say it was just a guess based on anecdotal experience.

[+] Ephera@lemmy.ml -22 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I mean, consider the counter shit take: That motorcyclist could be driving much more recklessly without being in so much danger, if other people didn't drive around with mobile walls at 100 km/h...

You're arbitrarily assuming it to be a given, that dangerous cars are on the street, and shifting the blame to the person who is, quite by definition, the victim here.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Guys, guys. You're both right. Motorcyclists are suicidal and cars are shit. Both can be true at the same time.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Motorcyclists are the only road goers that have tried passing my on the side I am signalling to turn on more than one occasion. Maybe because literally nobody else here signals they don't know what it means.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social -5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'm not making any arbitrary assumptions. I'm making educated guesses based on what I see on the highways near me.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

You’re not wrong, but ~~reddit~~ Lemmy says that donorcyclists can do no wrong.
