  That’s a good point to illustrate the importance of banning cars for personal transportation; all of the traffic is making your partner’s job slower and more stressful

  It’s common to call products dumb when they have the marketing strategy of tricking gullible people into thinking they need it.

  I see, my favorite podcast (“A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs”)[500songs.com] has no ads. I’d strongly recommend if your interested in that kind of music

  I don’t understand what you mean. I just skip the ads with my skip 30 seconds button.

  Do you have a link to the scientific paper(s) that this article references?

  I’m a neuroscientist, and my microbiologist girlfriend and I always debate about the importance of microbes to neuroscience.

  If you’re doing it over an app, without the chance for the person you’re dumping to respond, I see no risk of things turning nasty

  ls is actively maintained. The headline is referencing exa, which is unmaintained. eza is a fork of exa.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are US states, school districts banning smartphones in schools?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.

  I think this isn’t a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it’s unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.

  I don’t see the connection between neurodivergence an phones

  Short haul flights should probably be high speed train rides anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just 2 people.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think OP believes every town in the US has twice as many homeless people as churches, it doesnt need to be exactly 1 church and 2 homeless people.

  But either way, that’s probably not true. Since homeless people tend to be in larger cities.

  But then again, lots of people become homless in the suburbs and then move to the city to get the social services. If churches in the suburbs housed a few people as they become homeless, it would probably help. It’s better to keep people in their communities so they have a better chance of returning to housefullness.

  But probably not that much, since homelessness rates are strongly correlated with housing prices, so expensive cities create more homelessness than cheap suburbs.
