With great power comes great responsibility.

    Fuck crossing six lanes of cars on foot.

    Build a pedestrian bridge.

    I guess I should have included that I'm originally from a shithole state myself (Louisiana) and defintely notna coastal elite. Unless you consider the dirty coast elite (yes, it's a known nickname we use).

    I'll admit to being the one that submitted the report. Tbh, your comment wasnt nearly as bad as OP above you, and I probably got kinda heavy with the report button by including your (as Davel pointed out) slightly ill-informed comment in with the above post.

    As a southerner, I find online spaces like this rarely recognize bigotry against the southern US and rural areas. I've had this conversation a handful of times on Lemmy over the years, but as a former Louisianan, I'm sure you've heard your fair share of "do you wear shoes?" and the like.

    Was gonna say this has some strong !orphancrushing@lemmy.world vibes, but it's already been posted there. 🙃

    Yes, thankfully he saved the wheelchair user from impatient drivers. They'd've had to kill him if the light turned green.

    Every guy within 50 miles named Peter Parker or Miles Morales is very confused by all the sudden attention.

  • I’m a bit disturbed by the fact that he seems to have just gone ahead and pushed the wheelchair user without asking them if that’s what they wanted. That doesn’t seem right. But we don’t have audio, so maybe I’m misinterpreting.
