- Comment on California father arrested after repainting crosswalk, adding stop signs near children’s park 2 weeks ago:
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, and call out the lack of action and challenge these chicken shits to do better.
- Comment on California father arrested after repainting crosswalk, adding stop signs near children’s park 2 weeks ago:
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

- Comment on Evercade Nexus - Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
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.

Disappointing that they don’t have the specs front and center.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 3 weeks ago:
‘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.
- Comment on Woke 3 weeks ago:
It was maybe a month or two ago that 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.

That’s why it’s pascal’s mugging. You’re getting screwed for something that, statistically speaking, is a shot in the dark.

Not great for her, I imagine, considering this was a tantrum now immortalized on the internet. She’s been tried to ride the coverage like hawk tuah girl did, but with much less success it seems. Probably just doomed to be recognised at random times, likely in a mixed-bag fashion.

So, how likely is it that neanderthals and humans just lived in tribes together, and neanderthals just eventually died off within human tribes?

What is p-fracking, and how does it differ from regular fracking? Or is this post just asserting the definition?

I don’t think most games are outpacing inflation in terms of their value appreciation on the market. I could be wrong, but I think they’re still cheaper when taking inflation into account

- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 2 months ago:
Yeah it’s pricey. I’m on a fairphone 4 and that was easily over $700. I have at the same time had a very easy time replacing the screen when it broke, and have just stashed several of the more breakable components, which it’s nice that I can do that super simply.
I don’t think fairphones are much cheaper from fairphone directly, though I might be wrong. Overall, I don’t game on my phone, and the fairph on be 4 has been able to tackle all my needs pretty well without issue. Most of my gripes come from minor glitches or certain features lacked in lineageOS, but tbf, it’s still a very solid OS despite those minor issues.
