- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 2 weeks ago:
Also this map is fairly misleading. Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and the entire 4 maritime provinces are not here, and the main reason so much of the population is close to the border is that something like 1/3 of the population is clustered around the great lakes/st Laurence, because people came here by boat.
- Comment on In New York City, Drivers Who Run Red Lights Get Tickets. E-Bike Riders Get Court Dates. 4 weeks ago:
This is the subheading on the article (emphasis added):
Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.
So why let drivers off the hook? You seem to care about safety, but then support enforcement that disproportionately affects those who are doing less harm? There’s no logic, it’s just vibes.
Culturally, we accept drivers causing a significant amount of death and destruction, but get so mad about anyone else. It’s not rational.

I loooooooooooove chewy drinks 🥰
- Comment on Would you rather unionize or buy some videogames? 4 weeks ago:
That would be nice, but the government is controlled by the same people who don’t want you to unionize, so good luck.
Besides unionized wages are higher, so those “fees” are more of an investment, with much higher returns than you’d typically get for investing only $700/year.

I think it might actually be held up by the other end of that banister.

Also, the handrail mount is sideways if we’re looking down; if we’re looking up, it makes sense.

50 interviews in 8 hours is about 10 minutes per interview, and that’s back to back, no breaks, no lunch, no one being late, etc.

There’s a box on the home page for the giveaway, but when I clicked it I got “something went wrong”, but as Shimon pointed out, it’s free on Steam too, so I nabbed it there.

Also you can use adguard DNS on your phone to block many in-app ads.

Naw they’re like those stripes on a soldier’s uniform

The way the post title is worded totally leads here. She’s presented as “the woman kicking the guys ass” - and what kind of citations do you get for kicking ass?
Either way incredibly based.

It looks like it’s relative to the 2004-2013 average, actually. Note the years listed at the bottom.
- Comment on When we explain to other people how our capitalist system works and they recoil in horror 6 months ago:
not run by a dictator
The catch here is that in the west, we label anyone anti-capitalist a dictator. You can be the very definition of dictatorial, but if you align with western interests, you’re just a “president” or a “leader” or something. But start nationalizing your oil industry and 🚨 dictator! dictator! 🚨
So yeah, within the bounds of the narrative that capitalism is the only way, you’ll find that capitalism is the only way, unsurprisingly. But the fact that this narrative is baked into us from childhood doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s aligned with reality.

And they’re guaranteeing this super affordable public housing all while under a comprehensive trade embargo for 60+ years imposed by the most powerful nation there is, who also happens to be their neighbor.
Never believe that housing “needs” to be expensive, it’s 100% a decision made by people who profit from it.

especially the “investors”
- Comment on This world is cruel… 8 months ago:
There was this study where they asked a theater full of women to rate the attractiveness of men, based on a photo and a profession. Then they changed all the professions (but kept the same photos) and did it again.
The same picture with a higher-paying job was rated significantly higher.

Obligatory downvote but I enjoyed the first Shapez and this one looks way cooler, I’m excited to get into it.

Exactly, which makes the whole endeavour more of a guessing game than a science.
- Comment on Making healthier choices 1 year ago:
We can’t even measure calories accurately, never mind predicting how much your specific body will actually absorb. Maybe we could be more accurate with vitamins and stuff, but I dunno.

That’s rad.
