We’re out there. Arm the working class and all it’s minorities! (But yeah, defence only)

We can be better, IMO

That was Charter/ Spectrum. Verizon TRIED to buy them (Charter), but they turned them down. I’ll edit and link in a second:

“On May 18, 2016, Charter finalized acquisition of Time Warner Cable and its sister company Bright House Networks, making it the third-largest pay television service in the United States.”

I worked there, and we had people from Time Warner. It’s on Wikipedia, too.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_Communications

AT&T is the king of LA, they’re actually kind of dying. Cox has a strangle hold on San Diego. Spectrum/ Charter is everything in-between. They’ve PAIRED with Verizon to use their towers to extend their internet networks to rural areas. They also paired with Comcast to fight Roku, with a device called “Zumo”. It’s all moving towards wireless internet for everything, except if you’re a gamer or work from home.

That fucking sucks man. I can’t even imagine leaving my partner like that. One time we had a short spat, and we STILL made sure she was atleast okay. I hope you find a way to be okay. This is also coming from someone currently living in a motel.

My sister can’t move her feet at the ankle. She’ll never drive unless we can afford a custom 50k car. She has a 3,000 dollar mobility scooter. We had to spend about a month mapping the city to figure out WHERE THE FUCK SHE COULD GET ON AND OFF THE SIDEWALK.

Edit: Let me elaborate further:

It was so bad, that if we didn’t think ahead, we would have to go back a half a mile. I’m not joking. You ever seen those roads between neighborhoods with no turn offs? Better make sure that side walk ends with a ramp, otherwise, you have to go ALL the way back. You also can’t lift the scooter, it’s over 100lb. If you’re reading this, please petition your town to add more ramps to the sidewalk.

My sister has to have every bone from her pelvis to her ankle broken, REGULARLY. They have to cut all of her muscles, stretch them, reconnect them, and then inject them with botox. They then set them in a cast. This is just so she can properly grow, due to cerebral paulsy. And then, just to rub dirt in the wound, we can’t even use the sidewalk properly. We’re surrounded by beautiful nature and trails. She doesn’t get to experience that. Please petition your towns to add more ramps to the sidewalk. I’ll get off my soap box.

Dude it gets worse. They installed decorative boulders on our sidewalk instead of adding ramps. The stones were SANDSTONE AND IMMEDIATELY ERODED.

It was pointless, got in the way, and cost tax payer money.

The boulders used to take up 1/3 of the walk way, so I’m happy they’re being weatherd.

I think they’re saying they’re on a pendulum swinging between comfort/ discomfort. Low blood sugar sucks man. I don’t know how they do it. I have a fast metabolism, and hypoglycemic. I’m a little jealous these guys can even DO this.

Dude… you can’t sue the people with the guns… they’ll shoot you.

I hope they get something out of it, though.

My town set up log fencing along our trails and sidewalks. They would decay so fast, the ranger would have to drive by everyday to check the fences.

They treated the fence the same way you described. They were always tinged green. Kids would run their hand down it, on their way home. Enough kids got sick, that the town noticed.

Did they take down the rotting, poisonous fence?

Nope; everyone just knows not to touch it. They really like that “rustic” look.

Sometimes that’s how seeding content goes. Most content in the beginning, is recycled and posted in mass. Even though it’s been out there, you’ve consolidated/ curated the content. That then draws in new users. Eventually, the goal is that they post their own content.

We’re all just trying to get the ball rolling without spamming.

If someone puts care into collecting/ curating their content, there’s is a good chance they’re using an automated posting script (usually python). I wouldn’t hold it against them, though. Even if you’re making you’re own content, you can build a cache of content and then automate the posts. You just have to worry about topical/ current events.

I used to make content based on Planetside 2 (for ps4) that was semi successful. I never wanted to make money, and I spent a lot of my own. I even caused the old sub reddit to flourish (I even made charts, they’re on /r/ps4planetside2).

Long story short, though, it’s people who want to create a community.

Yeah, but on the classics channel, and they’ll play nirvana right after, and make you feel old.

I agree. Also, they would totally market it as a ghost house on air bnb, and never sell it.

How far can cities go to clear homeless camps? The U.S. Supreme Court will decide (wamu.org)

In April, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a major case that could reshape how cities manage homelessness. The legal issue is whether they can fine or arrest people for sleeping outside if there’s no shelter available. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has deemed this cruel and unusual punishment, and this case is a...

It’s not a war against homelessness. It’s a war against the homeless.

Lmao, done that before. You do have to worry about the resolution of the textures when changing the model’s size, though.

Also, I’ve made small caves systems and mountains like this, before slapping myself for not remembering terrain generation.

Edit: this is a bit of tangent, but I’m super excited to see more boulders rendered using polycam. Generally, the models are a bit janky and never have straight polygons (along the x,y,z axis) So things like furniture and corridors won’t work. Boulders though, it’s perfect!

It already happened without their consent. You’ve been able to get it to produce “reddit text posts”, for years. This is a bit harrowing, though.
