    Is it common for family members to spy on each other's sexual behavior to find evidence of "degeneracy"? Or did I grow up in hell?

  • It might be healthier for you to break contact with your family or at least make contact the bare minimum (Christmas, birthdays). That's some fucked up parenting. You leave your teenager alone in their room when the door is locked. You can try to talk about stuff with teenagers, voice opinions about sexuality and all that, but sneakily opening that locked door is some seriously wrong shit.

  • So your reply to this article was very out of place. Things are not white or black, but your opinion was not at all about the article the OP posted and has little place here. Living on Jersey without your own garage is perfectly possible, the only issue they have is man-made (too much car infrastructure, too little alternatives) and obligating people to build expensive garages only makes it worse. Building decent cycle infrastructure and providing better public transportation are very viable options on Jersey. Your living place and your grievances about your living place don't influence that.

  • The linked article is about Jersey.

    104.000 inhabitants on a rock in the ocean the size of 10km x 10 km, population density 859/km2.

    That population density is not very different from many lower density neighbourhoods in big cities. On top, distances on this rock are never of that kind that a car would be absolutely necessary. They are, geographically and demographically, in an excellent position to organise very good public transportation with little more than a few well served, comfortable buslines. Vast majority of the population is clearly concentrated on one side of the island: the south, where population density is clearly higher (St Helier, 3,380/km2, really not different from average city density neighbourhoods in big cities.)

    I don't know where you live, but I don't think "rural" and "long distances" are the right arguments for rooting in favor of more space for cars (and thus... more cars) on Jersey. The longest drive I could draw on a map is from "La Rocque" to "Grosnez castle". And that's really stretching it, with a staggering 22km in 30 minutes. Makes you wonder why they'ld have cars at all on this island... Maybe for construction, transporting the sick to the hospital etc etc. But your old regular commute from home to market or home to work... It could be a bicycle paradise an island like this... You can cycle the entire longest stretch in less than 1,5 hours, by foot it would be a staggering 5 hours. They are ruining their paradise island by roads and cars everywhere and encouraging it even further (obligating it, even) is just a god damn shame. One could perfectly live there without owning their own car in their own garage.

  • Trump Commands War Department to Test Nuclear Weapons

  • I don't follow USA politics to every detail: has there been an impeachment attempt? Problem is not me intellectualising, it's representatives of the people: Congress & senate, not doing their jobs. Their job is not being a yes person to the president. It's representing the people. The culture where they are headless chicken was installed long before trump. Yet they and their institutions are the way to end this properly, cleanly and with enough representative power so it does not lead to civil war. The president needs to seek approval of Congress for policy, not the other way around. Some random murder in the street scenario is a recipe for disaster for everyone. It creates an enormous power vacuum. The Congress way avoids that. It is the least worrying path this can go down...

  • Trump Commands War Department to Test Nuclear Weapons

    Jump

  • If there is an impeachment (meaning Congress/Senate actually doing their jobs), followed by imprisonment, meanwhile new free elections and finally a trial... If the trial reaches the conclusion the death penalty is what he should get for his crimes, "the US people killing Trump" would be completely legal in any sense of the word and to any foreign, independent observer. People have gotten legal death penalties for much less and in way more dubious circumstances in the USA in rather recent times...

  • School pickup lines are wild

    Jump

  • And just like that you turn even more area around a school into child-unsafe asphalt wasteland, facilitate the private car pick-up further and thus encourage even more people to do the less good way of how to get kids to school. Sometimes fixing a "problem" only creates more, bigger problems. This is one of those times.

  • School pickup lines are wild

    Jump

  • We had in elementary school this thing called "the line". End of school day kids would gather at different recognizable points on the playground ("the basketball hoop" or such). Every point had a teacher and/or parent waiting. Then they made all kids hold hands two by two and started walking... Every line went to different corners in the neighbourhood, dropping kids off at home and even seeing they get in / someone is home... I'm pretty sure over 85% of all kids got home every day with this incredibly innovative technology... of volunteer parents. Kids that couldn't get dropped of at home for some reason (no one home or so) continued back to school where they could play for 1 or 2 more hours until they got picked up... Didn't realise I lived in a fairy tale land until internet times.

    Especially kindergarten/elementary school should just be in the neighbourhood itself unless it's a really really really tiny town (in which case the innovation would be called: BUS).

  • Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operating

    Jump

  • Agreed.

    While I do think it sometimes just has to be a shared space, a historic or geographic bottleneck for some edge case of a few buildings being completely unreachable otherwise (also for contractors or movers for example). But then cars should be stopped from entering the section with traffic lights, tram passes, cars can pass again. Or on a whitelist basis where only a few residents can get a permit to use it. While for the streetside parking even the edge cases I can't make up

    Jump

  • 15 minutes is a way too looooong time for this. A good network has a tram every 5-10 minutes, that's already a big tram Stau and a lot of missed connections for passengers. There just shouldn't be street side parking options right next to tram tracks.

  • Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operating

    Jump

  • Isn't this particular issue a city responsibility?

    For starters most narrow streets here (Süd-Westen) where the trams go, are tram only or tram+pedestrians in a centre area. But very very rarely tram+cars or trams+bicycles.

    The issue seems fining and law enforcement, but the actual error happens way earlier on: tram tracks should never run right next to street car parking spots (they can be next to parking spots but only if cars enter the spots from elsewhere and there is obstacle between tram tracks and car parking spots.

    It's poor design.

    And probably city responsibility because I can't imagine Bundesstraße to be designed like this in the first place, they always optimise for traffic flow and don't care for a few parking spots more or less, that's usually more a city admin concern.

  • Trump is preparing a coup — the evidence is clear if you know where to look

    Jump

  • No there are still some more or less independent judges and media (even mainstream look at south park) and the hope is very much still there that there will be new elections in 2028. Only after there are no new elections by 2030 or when they are a clear smokescreen with Stalinist scores or if trump himself personally appoints a successor will the coup process be complete, imo. Military on the streets are not yet doing Prague spring or Tianmen square style complete sweeps of entire protesting populations, ICE is still "only" individual cases mostly. They're getting there, but I don't think the control is complete yet.

  • The thing not included in hotel room is usually a few very basic kitchen tools, like a water boiler.

    I prefer the hotel experience over the airbnb, but depending where you are and how long you're staying airbnb is way cheaper because you don't have to eat 3 meals a day out and you can make your own coffee... Some hotelrooms have water boiler / coffee machine, but it's quite rare for cheaper rooms. So often end up doing airbnb over hotel anyway
