One: Where are they going to go? They could move someplace more lawless, and then maybe get killed and lose everything.
Two: Ok, go. Leave your stuff here, though. Spreading wealth out over more people is better for everyone.

Cool. I’ve been off Spotify for years. Buying music from Bandcamp and similar has worked out. (Though now that I’m unemployed I’m not spending any money, but like I always say if capital wants me to spend money they have to pay me some first)
I wonder if it would change anything if instead of a quiz you just like handed people a printout of like a summary of how government works from Wikipedia. Like, maybe convert some people who think the president makes laws.
It would probably still be corrupted by conservatives, sadly.
Out of curiosity, do you live here?
I’ve never taken a cab across town, but I don’t live in Manhattan itself. Bus, train, or just walking has always been enough. (Or biking, for the brave)
Did you independently reinvent https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Savings_System or did you know about the history?
Conservatism is just “in-groups to protect, out-groups to hurt.” That’s it. That’s the whole thing. They’re bad people.
I don’t think adult content should be stigmatized and quarantined. Why is a game about cutting terrified victims open with a handsaw cool, but a game about licking a clit needs to be isolated?
I don’t want to share my location nor have anyone else’s shared with me.
Friends and partners can text “I’ll be there in 5”
My friend shares her location with her mother. Her mother then nags her with like “Are you seeing someone new? You’re spending a lot of time in north brooklyn now.” Like, who needs that, or even the temptation of that?
A tech solution is not going to fix a social/mental problem like fear of cheating.
The cops always park in the bike and pedestrian lanes in prospect park, and it makes me so mad.
Personally I feel like if you park in the bike lane for any reason that’s not life or death, people should be allowed to do what they want to your car. Maybe move it. Maybe key it. I don’t care. It’s a hazard for everyone.
If I was going to make something like this, it would have to incorporate trust chains. I don’t care if some maga-hat says this lady is horrible. I care if my good friend Alex says she’s horrible. One person’s “this person won’t shut up about communism” is a big red flag (no pun intended) but for someone else that’s the dream.
When you sign up, you’d need to be referred to someone or be a root node. Anyone connected to you can be weighted differently. If some section of the tree is misbehaving, prune it.
But that’s a lot of work
I’ve lived here for almost two decades and I’ve almost never had a problem with bikes.
I did once see a driver make a right turn and hit a delivery bike kid, drag him for a few feet, and then speed off. Luckily, teenagers I guess are indestructible and the kid got up and rode away after a few minutes.
If you want better bike and pedestrian safety, the solution is probably build better bike lanes. There are a lot of spots with nothing, or a painted suggestion. There’s a spot near prospect park where they expect the bicyclist to turn right, pass through a lane of traffic, and then just hang out in the center lane with all the cars. It’s a nightmare.
Yes. Good. Tell Clarence Thomas not to be afraid. Just go outside. You don’t need security. Just go for a nice long walk. Nothing to be afraid of.
I don’t understand why people are making plans they don’t want to do. I see this kind of thing all the time and I don’t get it at all. I like doing stuff. That’s why I agreed to do it. I got invited to something I didn’t want to do this weekend, and I said no thanks. Just sitting at home scrolling the internet or playing a video game is fine, but it’s way less rewarding than doing stuff with other people.
Maybe the internet just selects more for introverts and sad people?
Conservatism is entirely about protecting the in group and hurting the out group. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
Thus, they are bad people. That’s how bad people behave.
Google probably wants to keep you on google.com, where they have ads. By doing the AI stuff, you never click through to someone else’s page. They get 100% of the interactions and can sell all the clicks.
It’s monopoly stuff. They should be stopped, with whatever box of liberty is needed.
This guy sucks. Some of his friends should take him aside and set him straight. Like at night, with alibis
Last book: “Last Call” by Tim Powers. It’s great. Poker and archetypes. Big inspiration for Unknown Armies, which I loved.
Current: Medusa’s web, also by Powers. Not sure if I’m into it yet but it’s got some of his signature weirdness
If they know, and it’s not vital, and they don’t care, then I think less of them.
Some people have less self control than a toddler
When I worked an old job in the office, the game of telephone from the CEO down was so bad. People would get in their head that some things were MUST HAVE, but if I sneakily just asked the CEO directly he’d be like “no that’s not important”. But the designer thought he wanted it so she told the product lead it was important so our team product guy was told this was “straight from the top”.
Not sure where the details are. I hit find an action and it took me to a page that says 0 events in New York :|
