It's the usual "there must be in groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out groups for the law to bind but not protect" thing as always.

They wanted small government when it suited their desires. Their desires, as conservatives, are usually bad. Pollution, exploration, segregation, etc.

This article was good.

Americans are shocked and terrified by the idea, I'm sure. “But they could be kidnaped.” That's kind of a car thing. When cars dominate the world, there are fewer people walking and cycling. Streets are empty except for drivers. There are fewer eyes on the street. With fewer eyes, fewer people together, it becomes more dangerous for vulnerable people.

Jane Jacobs wrote about that in like the 1960s. It's really infuriating how unsafe car-centered spaces is, and how people erroneously think it makes them safer.

You're much safer on a street busy with a mixed crowd of pedestrians.

But, again, racism can't have that.

"request desktop site" usually gets rid of the app nag.

I never post there anymore but there's a lot of useful stuff from the old days.

Some people are phenomenally bad typists. Even some people who use a computer all day

I think if I was making a game I would really strive to make it so every upgrade is meaningful and easily noticed.

I liked pillars of eternity, but I didn't like trying to think about if 3% more damage was even going to survive rounding.

This doesn't even seem to be front page news. The us is desensitized to mass murder.

She was frustrated. AJ was disheartened. “I want people to come to our restaurant, but, like, why is this such a big deal that it influences people on such intense level,” Lyndsey Lozano said. “Like, is it really that horrific that you have to act on such a feeling?”

Yeah. Don't use the hell-lie machine. Easy.

I think there's a difference between like a landlord and a property management company.

Property management that fixes stuff, cleans up common areas, and such adds value. They do labor that's useful.

A landlord that just gets money because they legally own the place is not adding value. That's what most people hate.

You can, of course, have horrible people assigned to manage the property.

Right? Emulators are pretty popular. Piracy is a service problem.

If they released PC ports of Nintendo games I would play a lot of them.

AI summary of toilet paper (startrek.website)

This is the bad place.

It's fucking toilet paper. I don't need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.
