Gross.
It’s “fewer.”
*Fewer
But he’s posing in front of a tram? Make it make sense!
It won’t make sense if there is no need to
Nosferatu needs to lay off the blood of the innocent for a bit - he’s clearly over-indulged.
Being less evil would be nice, but we can only reasonably expect so much.
Is that a Tram in the background ?
What a joke, considering the message haha. May he lose!
Hahahahah ironic
I have to drive a van every day for work, but even I find this repulsive.
Unsurprisingly, a former candidate for the Liberal (conservative) party: https://web.archive.org/web/20220518064350/https://cityofsydneyliberals.webflow.io/candidate/sam-danieli
Perhaps he was too crazy even for them.
He’s still a party member, it’s listed in his candidate information sheet. Badly Scanned PDF
Isn’t it supposed to be “fewer” anyway?
He likes cars, not grammar.
well, he hasn’t met mine yet. she’s in fine fettle for her age.
Cars and, based on the looks of it, insects. I didn’t realize how much like a lizard he looks.
Les Lane sounds like Superman’s brother in law.
lmao
No, less is perfectly acceptable. GoT is very annoying for turning people into grammar pedants for a 18th century style suggestion.
wtf is GoT? I don’t use linux
Nah, I’m not really into pokemon
Wasn’t GoT that TV show with all the boobs and dragons?
They probably mean that those convenient areas adjacent to the lanes on a road should be seen as “less bike lanes, but more car park”.
That is exactly how they’re seen in Philadelphia.
Ahhhhh… This actually does make sense. I love you.
It is
Tsk
TSK?
I’m sorry; I don’t know what that is. I meant, like, “tsk tsk tsk. Shame.”
I don’t really expect more than like 2-3 Lemmy users to know anyway. It’s just a random joke.
Coat of arms of Slovakian Trenčín region (Trenčiansky samosprávny kraj (TSK)).
A halberd and a bow? You don’t know if you’re pikemen or archers?
Are you from there, or is this just a random fun fact? Either one is cool, but I’m curious.
Slovakia, yes.

Just 8 of them.
This is your brain on cars.
Hey now, they specifically added a ton of people to distract from his appearance, which was a kindness
JFC
1hr commute both ways to work
Dickhead.
I think he doesn’t have one.
a head with functioning braincells or the dick?
Less bike lanes
100% he’s going to make that happen
and cheaper parking
0% he’s going to make that happen
Free market, bitches! Prices. Only. Go. Up!
wait why would less bike lanes make anything cheaper?? it’s just sectioning off a portion of the road?
You turn the bike lane into street parking. No idea how this makes things cheaper, but I guess the argument is two extra parking spots per block is going to make all the difference.
yeah some dude paying 7 bucks an hour while he picks up taco bell (idk the hourly rate for parking im not american) is gonna break profit records
This politician isn’t American either, this is in Sydney
In free markets prices generally go down
Compare the percent of income required for seasonings and fresh fruits from around the world now vs 200 years ago.
heck compare the cost of labour 40 years ago to now
That’s probably more of a function of our switch from consumption taxes to income tax.
What’re you talking about? It’s a function of global trade lol.
You might want to actually look into the history of global trade sometime.
im aware
So, what do you do if this guy democratically wins?
Hope he gets hit by a car.
Complain on Lemmy about the people that you’re surrounded by, I guess.
I think most of us who live in America know the feeling.
“Fewer” since they are countable.
They are indeed… Where did the whole “if two bike lanes converge” question come from??
I was going to make the same joke.
“Fewer. I mean more. More bike lanes.”
Why does it matter?
Why does grammar matter?
Yes
To you it doesn’t but I’ll leave that for you to resolve on your own.
you’re right, it doesn’t to me
You’re far too toxic to be worth the effort. Have a block.
You insulted me, how is that me being toxic?
He could just make them shorter.
If there are two bike lanes merging into one, there are one, two or three bike lanes?
Water isn’t countable but lanes are.
Then count. One, two or three?
How many water in your glass?
I mean, technically water is countable
How many waters in that glass?
I believe there are about 55.508435 moles of H2O in a liter of water at sea level (basically assuming 1 liter of water = 1kg of water)
A mole is countable. Water is not.
Atoms of water are measured in moles. Atoms are discrete units, a mole is just a certain number of them
Depends on if you’re using water to include types of water (if, like a maniacal madman, you have mixed Evian, Buxton and Harrogate mineral water into one jug). Then ‘i mixed fewer waters’ or ‘there are fewer waters in that glass’ would be valid.
To be clear: I’m not the person you replied to, just someone who finds it quite interesting (in the same way that the plural fishes is valid if you’re talking about different species of fish).
And yes, I know prescriptivism is bad, but also it is quite fun.
Those are homonyms. Water versus waters. The second one is metaphorical.
I did enjoy your comment and you sound like you’ve had some linguistic training.
Or just atoms of water
Eh, you wouldn’t use the noun water to refer to atoms of water. ‘How many waters are there?’ to refer to atoms of water is the statement of someone deranged
