Conservatives rarely are controlling appointments to city public planning positions and there are only so many levers they can pull federally to make urban planning worse.

In part because a large fraction are bullshit.

I have seen boxes with 'Open carefully, do not use a knife' on the outer box when there was another set of cardboard boxes inside protecting the product. Oh yeah, real glad I didn't cut the tape with my blade that's not long enough to fully cut even one layer of cardboard.

I have also seen a label "delicate product, fold carefully" on fucking denim jackets.

When everything is 'fragile' nothing is. If you won't pay for a packaging engineer then pay for actual special handling.

I remember it being big news in the vaping world when walmart started carrying vapes. I went out and bought some awful eGo pen and the world's worst tasting juice in 2.4% nicotine. I managed to get through the little 20ml bottle of sour apple but the java flavor was so awful it remained my backup 'it's this or withdrawals' juice for the better part of a decade. I think I picked withdrawals most of the time.

"Hope you're ready to define words, dictionary" that's their whole thing dude.

Also I would highly recommend anyone into anime to check out Fune wo Amu/The Great Passage. It's an anime about the creation of a dictionary. It's a pretty compelling love letter to the idea of language in general. I think I started watching it when it was airing thinking 'this sounds boring as hell, they've gotta be cooking something if this got funded' and they were.

but transwomen were still 12% faster.

That's a massive difference in even amateur sports let alone elite level. That contradicts your point rather than support it.

Privilege is when you cook rice instead of spending $150/week on fast food

You can already mine on your own and use that money to pay for stuff if it's viable. This is just displacing the subscription into your electricity bill.

I'd much rather the new age movement align with the right and make them be the ones who look stupid by association. Do not want to make room in the tent for that shit, thanks.

'Communism is when military parade' is an impressively unique stupid take. I guess socialism is when you have a unit in formation and when they start walking it becomes communism

Fuck, I'll never be able unlink federated social media and polyamory in my head now.

Typically when code changes existing permits are grandfathered in, they don't pull outstanding permits and make them comply with new code. For something as relatively minor as residential solar you should really only need a few months notice at most I would think. Like either the plans are drafted and ready for submission soon or you're still in the planning phase and just add panels.

You know, right before lockdown I was hanging out with a friend and I said something to the effect of 'eh, I do feel like people are overreacting a bit but at least this should normalize mask wearing when you're sick like in parts of Asia.'

Right now I have a very similar feeling hunch of 'at least this should kill the myth that republican presidents are better for the economy' and I can't wait for the american people to once again show me just how stupid they are.
