Though, if I started at home, drove out of town to where I'm staying for the night, and the woman/friend/family member/hotel I'm sleeping at doesn't have a charger, then I start the day severely depleted and have to go find the nearest charger god knows where and then hang out there for what I assume is at least a couple hours.
With gas, yeah you have to get gas, but gas stations are *everywhere* and I don't have to wait for the gas to charge, it just dumps in the tank and I'm back moving in under 5min.

Well you're welcome for finally understanding my point!
Still not "safe."

No, "I've tapdancer" around nothing. You are attempting to force the narrative that I'm claiming driving is perfectly safe, when in reality I claimed no such thing. All I'm saying is that "pre pandemic levels of crime" is still pretty bad. I absolutely guarantee the NYC subway by itself has more crime than the entire country of the person who earlier said "I can leave my phone charging and go to the bathroom" on their train. Safe**r**? Sure maybe. Safe**.**? No.

I'm not ignoring it, driving is dangerous, for sure. Never claimed it wasn't. That said, so is the NYC subway. "I can leave my phone and go to the bathroom" isn't something that is reasonable there. *I'm* saying you can't call the NYC subway "safe" while completely ignoring the elephant in the room that is stabbings and rapes, etc.
"Pre-pandemic levels" is still not great, it's probably more crime than whatever country "I can leave my phone.." has *in total.* Like, NYC subway pre-pandemic vs that entire country, NYC subway probably "wins" (though a win here is in reality a loss, 'cause crime is bad.)
Y'all really just finding out America is dangerous or something?

I think in reality "rape" is just more of a news story than "car crash." Really seems obvious to me, actually. Car crashes happen by accident, rape and stabbing takes intention. People being intentionally run over also happens to be a news story usually, fwiw. "Crime" just sells more than "accident."
Like, a mechanic at your local shop losing a finger is a rare possibility, but unless you live in a small town where it was literally the only thing that happened this week it won't even be on your local news at 11 either, but if his coworker chases him around the shop and *cuts* his finger off you bet your ass it'll be covered by the tri-state area.
In any case I never claimed car crashes were a myth, I claimed that "crime has dropped to pre-pandemic levels" means there's still plenty crime, as there was pre-pandemic. You saying you'd leave *your* phone plugged in on the subway and walk to one of those "bathrooms?"

Sure, crime has gone down recently in the subway to pre-pandemic levels, but there was still shit like this regularly pre-pandemic too. Definitely wouldn't leave your *anything* alone on the subway in NYC.
Also afaik (been a while) there is no bathroom for you to worry about leaving your stuff, people just piss in the subway cars themselves.

List is up! I'm excited for some of these..
Into The Unbeing Part Two #1 - Liked the first run, I'll keep on it. Basic story, some people find a cave, but the cave might be somethings skull? Something...alive?
Creepshow In Love #1 - Creepshoooooow!
Geiger #11 - Dude honestly I'm about 4 behind on this
Hive #1 - "Mason Shaw is no one. A worker bee. All that changes when he crosses paths with a few stragglers trying to stay one step ahead of a queen with immense powers who is determined to control her hive no matter who she has to kill. Welcome to THE HIVE." Looks like it might be ok, I'll at least flip through it.
I Hate Fairyland #20 - The End of this one?
Moon Is Following Us #6 - The Continuation of this one.
That's it for me, what're you pulling?

Hey I figured I'd make a post and see the state of current lemmy appage, since I'm looking for a good one. So far I've used Jerboa, Thunder, Eternity, and Voyager.
Eternity seems to be a dead project, it's full of bugs and hasn't recieved an update since The Exodus
Thunder seems ok and is what I'm using right now, but I can't seem to send direct messages, and can't "Don't blur NSFW preview on NSFW comms" which sucks. The messaging is the dealbreaker for me.
Voyager I used momentarily but the UI was not my favorite.
Jerboa seems OK if unpolished (which is ok to me) but I don't trust the rabid idealogue that makes it and using another instance of his site is one thing, but installing an app is another. Has it been audited to confirm lack of spyware?
Ideally through this I can find one with instance blocking, DMs, and a decent UI. What're your experiences with the current state of lemmy apps?
