Nah, fuck that noise. Vigilante pedestrian infrastructure saves lives and costs the state nothing. Don’t wait for a bunch snobby beurocrats to tell you your neighborhood is unfit for support. Fill potholes. Fix sidewalks. Install stop signs where needed. Be the change, call out the lack of action and challenge these chicken shits to do better.

Deadlock

That is not what the article describes at all.

A city representative said officials reviewed the intersection after receiving concerns from Brandlin and determined it did not meet the requirements for a four-way stop but added pedestrian striping to improve safety.

Brandlin spent about $1,000 of his own money on commercial-grade materials, including 30-inch reflective stop signs matching the other ones on the street. He began installing them himself to replace the yellow posted crosswalk signs on the intersection in the early morning of March 14, according to the El Segundo Police Department.

Police arrested him around 1:30 a.m. while he worked on the second direction of traffic. Brandlin said the arrest was excessive, saying he was cited with multiple charges, including felonies.

Still would accumulate toilet aerosols over time, and would still be gross. The real solution is foot handles or no door

I give this one a singular “HA!”

Selling physical copies of an IP for profit. For example, tomb raider as an IP is owned by Embracer group, so they could potentially sue evercade for producing tomb raider cartridges.

Edit: the workaround they’re using seems to be just buying a license with said IP owners, so that solves the issue.

Disappointing that they don’t have the specs front and center.

Also seems like the cartridge system is prime for getting sued by companies.

States have governors, towns have mayors, and in anarchist theory none of those heirarchal positions would exist. Usually, heirarchies are formed in order to complete projects and those heirarchies are supposed to disappear once the project is complete. Can’t really have a state without a legislative body dictating it.

‘Basically no one in charge’ is not exactly correct. Heirarchies are allowed to exist, but ideally should be as brief and flat as possible.

My best understanding of the end-goal is an intermeshing alliance of small democratic collectives working together to provide for one another. This type of system has existed previously, such as with the various tribes across the Americas which often traded and collaborated with one another. In contrast with previous times, there is vastly more understanding of how the world works now, and thus many more possible projects to strive towards.

There is also no expectation of some supposed utopia from this, as i understand - conflicts are still expected to flair up every now and again. The main aim is for equality and the absence of a single constant power structure which oppresses and dictates the conditions of all, but instead that there is a democratic collaberation defining the conditions for folks involved.

The ethics which we use today evolved out of practical ethics - that is to say, it’s evolved out of a need for a set of rules meant to be applied in order dictate the conduct of humans amongst one another. Because of this, I think most ethical frames of reference are ill-suited for trying to answer this question soundly.

It seems analogous to trying to apply traditional physics to a quantum reference frame. It’s outside traditional Physics’s wheelhouse. A different set of tools likely needs to be applied, which has a different starting paradigm.

That being said, your answer is really going depend on what this new ethic’s paradigm is, which is arguably completely arbitrary in this specific case.

Most work accidents nowadays are one or two folks injured or killed. Previously it could be entire buildings’-worth of injuries in single incidents.

A term I’ve been using is ‘activation’. people who are in the early stages of activation attend protests - more often attendance is more activation. This eventually evolves into active participation in support networks, vigilante counteraction, or legal resistance like journalism and similar activities.

Protest attendance is the start of most individuals’ activation, and we can’t knock that starting place if we want greater numbers participating in the counteraction apparatus going forward.

Another drug, huh. Maybe we can get it to synthesize epigenetically within patients via some type of mRNA therapy, only needing 6-month top-ups. Could be healthier than ozempic in that fashion.

Based on conversion of Fiat. What is it in buying power overall? Like, how many macca’s big macs is that over there? Or how many bus fares?

It was maybe a month or two ago that an article showed that studies like these - all usually done as surveys - are highly susceptible to changes in input from users, just by word choice. In their example, they showed that if you use terms like ‘mental health’ while surveying people, a discrepancy emerges between non-conservatives and conservatives. This discrepancy disappears when you instead ask other questions, such as ones about sleep, worries , and fears.

So I don’t really know if I overall trust the data on happiness overall.

There’s still examples of people being paid to live in peoples’ homes as sex servants and whatnot, let’s not act like this kind of thing just evolves out of existance. I think I even remember a reddit post of someone talking about how a married couple paid for their tuition in exchange for being a plaything for them while at college.

Don’t forget the strawmen that insist the majority of feminists want a heirarchy reversal in society. (And also regularly insinuate or outright say that feminism leads to white men being ‘cucked’ universally by black men. Really, it all sounds like fetish projection when you look into it enough.)

We can’t actually detect ‘wetness’, our skin senses it through temperature drops, since water is very conductive.

So water is wet because it’s so good at pulling heat away from you. That’s why even when wearing gloves you can still detect wetness.

As a straight man, i concur.

One method is writing the text in black, copy-pasting it, then taking copy down a font size and change its color. I am also pretty sure there’s a button click to add an outline.
