I’ve seen LGBT lobby and Rainbow Mafia thrown around too. Anything to dehumanize and attempt to paint us as some faceless and unreasonable oppressors.

sim_,

You’re omitting the part where OP is fine with the “trash dumping” in the streets of other locales. That’s what makes it NIMBY (as OP admits).

sim_,

Upvotes ideally don’t equate to agreement though.

sim_,

They’re not mutually exclusive. This means he can also be held liable for damages to people.

sim_,

Color me surprised you found yourself on the lemmyverse but don’t feel confident to install a mod. Not a dig! Just unexpected.

HC is coming out eventually though, not sure why it “obviously” isn’t?

sim_,

It’s telling how many people equate preheating oven to cooking frozen pizza.

sim_,

I don’t understand the timing of this. The man is only 52 years old and, regardless of how you feel about him, has many open-ended chapters of his career. Why now?

sim_,

I’d add it also depends on your familiarity with the host. Most hosts don’t appreciate if the first guest is a friend of a friend or distant coworker that they feel obliged to entertain while still busy with final preparations. Whereas if you’re a good friend, they can (often) feel more comfortable saying yeah make yourself at home I’ve got last minute things to do.

It’s beautiful, accessibly-presented data. What the data represent isn’t beautiful though.

Government debunked 15-minute city conspiracy it now backs (www.opendemocracy.net)

Speaking to the Conservative party conference in Manchester today, transport secretary Mark Harper called himself “proudly pro-car,” while describing the concept of 15-minute cities – where local amenities are located within a 15-minute walk or cycle – as “sinister”....

sim_,

Some might say the ideas are “stolen” or borrowed, others might say intentionally coordinated if the Intolerance Network leaks are to be believed.

sim_,

Dead? Nah. In dire need of reform? Yes.

sim_,

I bounced off the game originally too. There’s a lot to take in (and I never quite mastered the spaceship), but once things start clicking it’s an unparalleled experience.

sim_,

Can you elaborate? As it is, I’m not sure of the need for whataboutism.

sim_,

This is too broad of a brushstroke. Is there any megacorporation that cares about its customers? Doubt it. But are plenty of small studios that clearly value the quality of their product.

sim_,

This has been a godsend for me because my personal obstacle is always just getting started. So I give myself permission: I’m only going to do 15 minutes of this huge task today.

More often than not, once I get started I just keep going. But I give myself the freedom to stop and if I do, hey at least some of it got done!

sim_,

Nothing you wrote absolves anyone of their participation in the slave trade, you simply implicated an additional guilty party.

sim_,

Hotels aren’t the only ones who stand to benefit from codes such as these. NYC’s may have been overly harsh, but more cities should be looking to clamp down on housing being sucked out of the local market by big money interests.

sim_,

I’m surprised too! Feels like this game came out of nowhere and still has lots of room to grow, good for the devs.

sim_,

I work in research, not medicine, but I see the brain drain in my circle. We were the first to leave but many of my colleagues indicate they’ll follow soon. The relative sanity of Austin wasn’t enough to keep us in Texas.

Texas Takes Attacks on Austin to New Level With “Death Star” Law (slate.com)

The goal of Death Star is simple. The deeply conservative Texas Legislature wants to effectively deny cities—the state’s large Democratic-leaning cities, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin in particular—the ability to pass local laws and regulations in eight major policy areas: agriculture, business and commerce, finance,...

sim_, (edited )

I know at least one: the state GOP took umbrage with a police oversight act that Austin passed in May.

Edit: actually, the “Death Star” bill didn’t concern this. There was separate legislature proposed to block city-specific police oversight but it was unsuccessful thankfully.

sim_,

Why do you say traffic doesn’t matter? Isn’t that the most likely reason they brought r/place back?

sim_,

And don’t forget outright libel against the Apollo dev before he came back with recordings.

sim_,

Florida’s form linked by that article isn’t the same as OP’s. But yeah, that practice is fucked and point taken, OP’s could be from a high school in another state.

sim_,

I mean, sure seems like this is just ragebait and the “school” is more likely a university health center asking an optional question on a new patient form.

sim_,

I resonate with what @gaywallet said about how we shut ourselves off in environments we can’t trust. I think I forgot how “easy” it can be to engage when you expect others to assume positive intent. I’ve wasted so much time writing and rewriting Reddit comments because I was worried it would be taken the wrong way. And then half the time I’d decide to just scrap it because it wasn’t worth the sweat.

This place has been a breath of fresh air in contrast.
