Owning or renting a home has the same requirements of dependency on multiple companies

Are you suggesting people go without homes? And that’s analogous to going without a car?

Maybe you’re really radical and want free public housing like people want free public transit, but that’s far outside the overton window.

I imagine there are some “written in blood” laws and regulations that apply to hotels that airbnb is ignoring, too. That should also be addressed.

I read that airbnb lead to rents rise, because it made it so easy for landlords to run their property like hotels. I don’t use them, and kind of think lowly of people that are like “well it’s convenient so i don’t care”.

“death and life of great American cities” by Jacobs talks about this. The suburban mode where everything is car focused and isolated is really bad. Having spaces with foot traffic and community is much better for people.

I think it depends on how often they’re coming up with dubious takes, and how often there are repeats.

Like if you have to explain that gay people are just trying to live life, and that’s fixing misinformation they got as a youth, fine. Good, even. But if you have that talk and then have to have to again a month later because they “forgot” or picked up more bad ideas? Concerning.

Friend of a friend was always getting talks to patch up his dicey world view, but then he’d go back to the same YouTube or shitty friends and come back two weeks later with a fresh batch of bad ideas. Really have to get to the root of the problem

Feels like they should be able to view the software and hardware controlling the odometer, and if it’s doing anything suspicious.

I wonder if they’ll actually do anything if they find Tesla is doing fraud. Feel like everyone who OK’d the decision should be barred from working in the industry for life, and made to forfeit everything they gained while doing the fraud.

While I’m making magical wishes, I’d also like Musk and all of his followers to choke to death.

Reddit is owned and operated by assholes. Don’t even try to use it.

I was hoping you had some insight and revelations about how to use Finder.

Please. Elaborate.

People that work at microsoft could stop this. With means gentler than “Crack open the CEO’s skull with a hammer”, too.

Zuckerberg put in his will “Anyone who kills me gets a billion dollars”. Bold move, but apparently legal!

If those two shitheads said we should drink more water I’d check with other sources first.

Fuck them. I hope they both die for what they’ve done

That’s excessive for typical people. The flowers and chocolate are going to look like you’re expressing romantic interest, which is inappropriate to do to a child.

I had an argument about this with a friend once. I was saying if we just abolish the police, private enterprise will probably step in to fill the gap. I don’t want that. I don’t want amazon offering policing services (as part of Prime. vomit).

I think the police need to be split up into smaller institutions, and have a lot less murder powers.

Someone needs to address the “Someone broke into my house and stole my TV” problem, without a profit motive and with accountability.

There should be something to address “My neighbor is screaming at his wife and I think he’s hitting her” that doesn’t involve some low empathy assholes with guns rolling up to mock the woman.

I don’t know how to fix this.

The guys in those hypothetical lynch mobs are the cops today.

At least in this scenario you could get your buds and shoot back at the klan fuckers, maybe.

I still remember being really mad I missed the “added effect” materia in the original FF7. You can never ever go back to that cave, so if you don’t turn around to pick it up you never get it. Pain.

A friend of mine had a similar thought. He was sitting down to do some work on an open source game, and then was like “Wait. What am I doing?” and he made his own game from scratch. ( This one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1271280/Rift_Wizard/ - It’s good, but kind of too hard for my brain )

It helped that he a had a lot of xp in game development. I imagine some of the boring, difficult, stuff doesn’t have as many people readily available. There’s a lot of “Why does the game crash if I push the up arrow key when I’m in my inventory, sometimes?” stuff you have to worry about when you’re doing the whole thing.

Everyone involved in this decision should be shot.

What happened to all the republicans crying about “government shouldn’t be picking winners and losers”? Oh right, they’re hypocritical little shits that should be in the ground.

So tired of everything trash because like a third of the country has less emotional maturity than a toddler.

I looked it up, it’s $15 currently. Suburban NJ to Manhattan.

$15 is still kind of a lot when you’re a kid
