specialseaweed,

Great picture. Well done.

Young voters aren’t as liberal as you think (www.washingtonpost.com)

None of this is to claim that younger voters in general are not more to the left on most issues than their older counterparts. They are. But there is a difference between being more progressive than other voters — and progressive as a blanket characterization. As this data clearly shows, that characterization is not accurate...

I’ve read this a couple of times and I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

specialseaweed,

I lived on the big island and my boss owned a coffee farm in Kona. He brought us a couple bags on roasting day. Still the best coffee I’ve had by miles and miles.

specialseaweed,

I love that you felt the need to point that out.

specialseaweed,

What do you make with shredded beef?

specialseaweed,

Perfectly said.

As someone who lived thru the Texas freeze, may I say with all due disrespect: go eff yourself.

Your post is so deeply stupid I don’t know where to begin. I can only hope you’re a bot and if not, may god have mercy on your ignorant soul.

specialseaweed,

I bought for my kids on the 3 year conversion deal. It’s great for them. They can try all sorts of different games and have played stuff they never would have otherwise. Since I generally refuse to buy on release day or preorder, them being able to play newly released games with their friends has been pretty cool too.

I ain’t paying $15/month/per kid tho. That’s crazy talk.

specialseaweed,

I just want to play with a controller.

specialseaweed,

And he’s such a clown that they found a way to shit on Saka.

Alright center libs, you won. Let’s see what you can do.

…

Welp

specialseaweed,

Shame this poor guy wasn’t born into a family with an emerald mine or he could have exploited an intrepid young worker just like himself.

specialseaweed,

I self host FreshRSS and from there can use any client on any platform. That’s an option for you if you’re self hosting inclined. I use Reeder on iOS and browser on windows.

specialseaweed,

I like FreshRSS fine. I just want it to be stable and predictable and it is. The apps used to connect to it can handle how the data looks for the most part.

It’s a small program and there’s directions on how to run it on the free tier of Azure here: safjan.com/how-to-deploy-freshrss-in-the-cloud-fo…

specialseaweed,

Good video. The guy was well spoken.

specialseaweed,

People that post stuff like that aren’t looking for redemption or a relationship revival. It’s performative bullshit so they can get 100 emojis from other loser boomers who over share on Facebook.

“My family has more family now. I’d like to find a way to bridge the gap and see if we can’t start something small that grows someday. It broke and I wish it wasn’t.”

That’s what it actually looks like.

specialseaweed,

Fallout 4 with the StoryWealth mod. I never finished FO4 the first time thru so I’m trying again. 15 hours in.

specialseaweed,

Decades ago I bought a sealed copy of Dragon Warrior off a guy for $30. While exchanging info he said he’d throw in a sealed copy of Dragon Warrior 2 for $20 more. I wasn’t really a collector (I wanted to play them) so I said sure what the hell, nice boxes and inserts are always cool. I never got around to playing them so they sat in a plastic shell.

They’re perfect, they’re unopened, and I still got em.

specialseaweed,

Not everybody works all day to come home and relax by reading garbage on the internet.

Some people do and that’s cool. But some don’t. Some of us like standards and we value our time in such a way that we don’t want to have to read some kid’s revelations about the world now that they’ve read Atlas Shrugged.

But that’s why these networks are cool. We can choose the vibe we’re looking for. Just don’t expect everyone to want it your way.

specialseaweed,

Lived long enough to see himself become the villain.

specialseaweed,

Battlefield 1942 was amazing and the Desert Combat mod was killer.

specialseaweed,

The Urbanist had a story on this that was linked by Publicola and it looks pretty straight forward to me.

theurbanist.org/…/most-vendors-dont-oppose-pedest…

“Out of the 61 individual vendors and businesses that they were able to interview, only a handful — around five — were fully against the idea of moving the Market in a more pedestrian-oriented direction. “In this group of vendors, we found that they think the street works well, and they didn’t see any conflicts between pedestrians and private vehicles, believing the cars add to the market’s character and are needed for business purposes and bulk loads,” the pair wrote in a summary of their research.”

And I don’t anyone is arguing against cars for business purposes or bulk loads… so that’s kind of a red herring.

Also, cars adding to the market’s character? Really? I mean bullshit all you want, but maybe be a teensy bit less shameless about it. Literally nobody thinks that.

““The idea (of a car-less Pike Place) was finally implemented a decade or more ago by the Market landlord for one month during high summer season,” King wrote. “The results were a disaster for merchants in the four floors of retail below street level, known collectively as Down Under…. And so quietly the results of the ‘car free’ experiment in the Pike Place Market were shelved. It turned out that cars on Pike Place served as people distributors, forcing pedestrians to take a variety of routes to wind their way through the Market.””

Honestly, if that’s an argument being made, then there’s no argument at all for not closing it. Seriously. “Cars push pedestrians into corners because their driving conflicts so much with walking traffic that it pushes pedestrians off the main street” is fucking INSANE to say out loud as if it was a great point.

Like, let’s get creative about advertising the lower levels (and going there ourselves!) and close the fuckin street so lost tourists aren’t driving inches away from megatons of pedestrians.

specialseaweed,

I’ve been in enough organizations to know that what the people running the organization want and what’s best for everyone are often different things. I read what you wrote elsewhere in the thread and I think you’re right, it needs to be addressed.

-but-

I think we can be creative enough to have the groceries and market goods find their ways to cars while also finding a way to stop having tourists accidentally turn into the market and almost run people over because seriously, all of us have seen a kid dart or a tourist not pay attention and that shit happens ALL THE DAMN TIME.

And I think 5 out of 61 vendors being against it means we should probably have already been looking for alternate solutions and the people that are just saying no should know when it’s a losing cause and start coming up with ideas that get them what they need to succeed.

specialseaweed,

remember folks, it’s easy to block users!
