The average transaction price for a new car now sits around $50,000.
I could ride a NYC subway or bus 16,666 times for that, assuming I never do more than 12 rides in a week to trip the “rest of the week is free” condition.
“Make cars cheaper” is a stupid solution that won’t scale well. Cars do tremendous damage to the environment and our society. But I expect everyone subscribed to “Fuck Cars” already knows that.
Make a new space with your own rules
That’s what’s happening here and you’re whining about it. Follow your own advice.
My big problem with censorship is that it dulls the mind. Safe spaces do the same thing. If your thoughts and beliefs are never questioned, you can never grow as a person. Echo chambers are breeding grounds for ignorance. Our world is not tolerant of ignorance. Being unable to react appropriately to emotionally inflammatory bait makes us all weaker on an emotional level.
Also this is nonsense. Some topics don’t need to be relitigated. No one benefits from giving “maybe {racist trope} is real” a platform and legitimacy.
Furthermore, allowing stuff like Nazi ideas is corrosive to the community. Like the anecdote about the Nazi bar posted elsewhere, if you let that stuff in then you end up with all the other people leaving.
You are wrong and your ideas are counter productive for maintaining a vibrant community. Many left wing spaces ban Nazi apologia, and have no shortage of debate and competing thought.
Claiming your opponents are just emotionally weak is also laughable. You sound like a real sad sack neo-nazi incel projecting his own shortcomings.
So the individuals running a forum cannot moderate the forum. It must be open to any and all content. Otherwise that is censorship, and bad.
Well, I infer from your tone you think censorship is always bad. Maybe you’re just splitting a hair about how in a sense content moderation is censorship.
because the community can’t regulate their own emotions is censorship.
The biggest eyeroll
I don’t think it matters. It’s like sports. They might have a particular manager or player but they still love the team.
Nobody is obligated but the community is obligated?
Will you write “I’m an idiot” on your forehead for me? If not, am I being censored? Why or why not? Should you be obligated to carry my message anywhere I desire?
There are many comics in the world. Banning a handful of horrible creators won’t starve the community for content. It will create space for non-horrible artists.
Allowing the “nice” comics by horrible people just creates a funnel for people to click though and be exposed to hateful ideas.
If in several months the ban list has grown monstrous in size, we could revisit, but that seems unlikely.
It’s not book burning or censorship. The horrible creators remain entitled to host their own websites or their own instances.
if he does, that’s pretty much ww3
So I don’t want to like die in nuclear fire but if a foreign power toppled the US government and tried+convicted all the Republicans of crimes against humanity, that doesn’t sound so bad.
I want job postings and a way to reach people I worked with.
I absolutely do not want the click bait and slop.
Cars ruin everything. The primacy of cars is upstream from a surprising amount of problems with modern life.
I was going to make a joke about how that doesn’t sound child friendly, and about how people would sometimes hide their porn in a folder named innocuously
Going further on this tangent, this made me remember specifically Baldur’s gate 2 (two), the ambient noise when you’re outside the copper coronet. It’s people sounds- talking, the occasion laugh or shout. It always made the place feel alive and interesting to me in a way car noises don’t.
If they won’t use signal or similar then they’re kind of shitty, but sometimes with friends and family that’s how it is.
prohibits gatherings of more than 20 people on open land where the music played consists wholly or predominantly of “a succession of repetitive beats”
This is a monstrous law and everyone involved in its passage should be barred from politics and positions with decision making power.
People should stop using Facebook products.
The only noise I hear is my music playing from a speaker and a fan. I’m getting natural light from the windows. I have curtains in my bedroom that turn it into a cave.
The pollution, maybe. A lot of that is caused by cars. My parents lived out in the suburbs, but rather close to a major highway that wasn’t good for environmental quality, and was loud.
Cities aren’t loud. Cars are loud.
They chose to go into this business. If they can’t do the job in a way customers like while making a profit and paying fair amounts for labor, fuck em don’t do the business.
Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<
Line breaks between paragraphs help. Emojis don’t. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don’t give up.
To your point, maybe you’re just getting older? There’s always been a small number of breakouts and a bunch of clones and shovel-ware. When you’re a kid, things are new and unlimited in their potential. As you get older, you realize that the game world is limited
I feel like most of the time saved is by skipping the part where you learn stuff. Like, the AI fills out how you do a left join with this ORM library. Cool. Now I don’t know how to do that.
You know how a lot of managers are annoying and don’t know anything about how shit works? That’s down the road using LLMs like this.
People don’t understand things but that doesn’t stop them feeling ways about it.
Also the US tax system seems complicated and error prone.
