Ah, gotcha, yeah, that makes sense.

My own city has pretty good bike lane coverage, but it's similar -- cars have to cross over the bike lane to get into the turn lane.

Basic decency...gah. Yeah, I wish. :(

Not sure what "American car centrism" has to do with Chinese traffic regulations tbh

I found this article. My takeaways were:

  1. No driving in bus lanes during certain times of day.
  2. No using the shoulder as a turn lane.
  3. No using a bike lane as a turn lane.

I think lack of goodwill plays into this, too. A lot of smaller sites can get away with stuff like "OK guys, the servers aren't free, so we need to run ads." and then have people super thrilled with them if there's an option to limit or disable ads for donors.

On reddit, I think the attitude would basically be "get fucked, spez!"

no more to do with technology than CEOs of wood pulp factories have to do with literature.

This has me envisioning a literature community filled with stories like "Random House and Penguin merging" (I know, old news), "Layoffs at PRH", etc.
