    Yeah, and the worst thing is that environmental policies might be to blame (to my knowledge).

    Larger vehicles have less strict emission rules. And because “the market” also wants cheap stuff and just making the car bigger is easier than reinventing the engine… a cynic might call this shift malicious compliance by the manufacturers.

    We can only hope this trend is reversable once EVs become dominant, those benefit from less size and weight.

    Europeans also don’t tend to have the headlights 1.50m or more above ground level, because anyone who isn’t 'Murican still builds comparably normal cars and no useless “Trucks”. Even though they also get worse and worse (fuck SUVs).

    A mastodon.social account with a green website link to the official page is already sufficient. Only the owner of said website can do that, that’s the way public people and companies are able to publicly verify the accounts authenticity.

    It’s neither hard nor do we lack the management software for social media accounts supporting Fedi. Those companies just rely on falsified data telling them there’s no alternative to those big networks and vibes.

    Apparently (I’m not a scholar but was curious) in dire situations that require immediate action they could’ve prayed while helping out, even shortening it out as long as the short (verbal?) prayer is done in honesty and the situation absolutely demands it. Apparently it’s even outright disallowed to not safe yourself or others during life-and-death situations even if it prevents you from the mandatory prayer because preserving people’s lifes and your own tops those rules, at least that’s what I read so far. If that boat story is actually true that person probably was a dipshit who happened to break his own religion’s rules.

    Also looked up fasting: There seems to be even more leeway on that. Just do it later if you can’t do it right now due to illness or similar, or pay “fidyah” (give poor people money for food). Though I’m kinda curious how it’s handled when someone is too old to fast but also poor as fuck, not a situation where you’d want to also feel guilty about this.

    I like the notion, don’t think it’s true though. Empathy, love and tolerance is something you also have to learn, some people need more guidance with it than others and bad parenting can almost permanently fuck up people in that regard (almost; it’s always possible to learn later, just takes more work). It’s also a muscle you have to always keep healthy to not grow weak and suffer an infection like xenophobia, transphobia and such. Sometimes those infections even grow and lurk in the shadow of your best intention.

    A lot of indigenous cultures have a lot of wisdom in this regard from which the arrogant “developed” societies keep refusing to learn (because it doesn’t fit either the >200 year old school systems, nor the ultra-competitive nature it teaches, nor the “nuclear family” bullshit). At least that’s my impression.
